IR780-based nanomaterials for cancer imaging and therapy

J Mater Chem B. 2021 May 26;9(20):4079-4097. doi: 10.1039/d1tb00407g.

Abstract

IR780, a small molecule with a strong optical property and excellent photoconversion efficiency following near infrared (NIR) irradiation, has attracted increasing attention in the field of cancer treatment and imaging. This review is focused on different IR780-based nanoplatforms and the application of IR780-based nanomaterials for cancer bioimaging and therapy. Thus, this review summarizes the overall aspects of IR780-based nanomaterials that positively impact cancer biomedical applications.
