Vascular disruption agent and phototherapeutic assembled nanoparticles for enhanced tumor inhibition

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Aug 10;59(65):9896-9899. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02647g.

Abstract

Vascular disruption agent (combretastatin A-4 phosphate) and phototherapeutic (IEICO-4F) assembled nanoparticles (IFC NPs) were prepared for the first time. The IFC NPs have a high photo energy utilization efficiency of up to 96.1%, and could significantly inhibit tumor growth by photodynamic and photothermal therapy enhanced tumor vascular disruption.
