A biodegradable drug delivery system (DDS) is one the most promising therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Here, we propose a unique concept of light activation of black phosphorus (BP) at hydrogel nanostructures for cancer therapy. A photosensitizer converts light into heat that softens and melts drug-loaded hydrogel-based nanostructures. Drug release rates can be accurately controlled by light intensity, exposure duration, BP concentration, and hydrogel composition. Owing to sufficiently deep penetration of near-infrared (NIR) light through tissues, our BP-based system shows high therapeutic efficacy for treatment of s.c. cancers. Importantly, our drug delivery system is completely harmless and degradable in vivo. Together, our work proposes a unique concept for precision cancer therapy by external light excitation to release cancer drugs. If these findings are successfully translated into the clinic, millions of patients with cancer will benefit from our work.

Aim: Constructing a new drug-delivery system using carboxylated graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) for tumor chemotherapy in vivo. Materials & methods: A drug-delivery system was synthesized through a crosslink reaction of cGQDs, NH2-poly(ethylene glycol)-NH2 and folic acid. Results: A drug delivery system of folic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-cGQDs was successfully constructed with ideal entrapment efficiency (97.5%) and drug-loading capacity (40.1%). Cell image indicated that the nanosystem entered into human cervical cancer cells mainly through macropinocytosis-dependent pathway. In vivo experiments showed the outstanding antitumor ability and low systemic toxicity of this nanodrug-delivery system. Conclusion: The newly developed drug-delivery system provides an important alternative for tumor therapy without causing systemic adverse effects.

Black Phosphorus Quantum Dots

Due to the inherent limitations, single chemo or photothermal therapies (PTT) are always inefficient. The combination of chemotherapy and PTT for the treatment of cancers has attracted a great interest during the past few years. As a photothermal agent, black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) possess an excellent extinction coefficient, high photothermal conversion efficacy, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we developed a photo- and pH-sensitive nanoparticle based on BPQDs for targeted chemo-photothermal therapy. Doxorubicin (DOX) was employed as a model drug. This nanosystem displayed outstanding photothermal performance both in vitro and in vivo. Folic acid conjugation onto the surface endowed this system an excellent tumor-targeting effect, which was demonstrated by the cellular targeting assay. The BPQDs-based drug delivery system exhibited pH- and photo-responsive release properties, which could reduce the potential damage to normal cells. The in vitro cell viability study showed a synergistic effect in suppressing cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, this BPQDs-based drug delivery system has substantial potential for future clinical applications.
