Simultaneous self-supply of H2O2 and GSH-depleted intracellular oxidative stress for enhanced photodynamic/photothermal/chemodynamic therapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Jul 28;58(61):8536-8539. doi: 10.1039/d2cc02961h.

Abstract

Herein, we designed a new nanoplatform for combined PDT/PTT/CDT through simultaneously self-supplying H2O2 and depleting GSH using one single laser irradiation. The nanoplatform was capable of generating multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as 1O2, O2-˙ and ˙OH, resulting in cell death. Moreover, the nanoplatform demonstrated low dark toxicity, high phototoxicity and better biosafety. In vivo animal experiments showed that the tumor growth was efficiently inhibited.
