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.

In recent times, organelle-targeted drug delivery systems gained tremendous attention due to the site specific delivery of active drug molecules resulting in enhanced bioefficacy. In this context, the phototriggered drug delivery system (DDS) for releasing an active molecule is superior as it provides spatial and temporal control over the release. So far, near infrared (NIR) light responsive organelle targeted DDS has not yet been developed. Hence, we introduced a two-photon NIR-light responsive lysosome targeted ʽAIE + ESIPTʼ active single component DDS based on naphthalene chromophore. The Two-photon absorption cross-section of our DDS is 142 GM at 850 nm. The DDS was converted into pure organic nanoparticles for biological applications. Our nano-DDS is capable of selective targeting, AIE-luminogenic imaging, and drug release within the lysosome. In vitro studies using cancerous cell lines showed that our single component photoresponsive nanocarrier exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity and real-time monitoring ability of the drug release.
