A nuclear targeted dual-photosensitizer was developed for photodynamic therapy against multidrug resistant cancer. Multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) could be generated in the nucleus to directly break DNA double strands with a single 980 nm NIR laser irradiation, regardless of drug resistance.

Abstract: Photothermal therapy (PTT) using a near-infrared (NIR) heptamethine cyanine fluorophore has emerged as an alternative strategy for targeted cancer therapy. NIR fluorophores showing a high molar extinction coefficient and low fluorescence quantum yield have considerable potential applications in photothermal cancer therapy. In this study, a bifunctional sorbitol–ZW800 conjugate was used as an advanced concept of photothermal therapeutic agents for in vivo cancer imaging and therapy owing to the high tumor targetability of the sorbitol moiety and excellent photothermal property of NIR heptamethine cyanine fluorophore. The sorbitol–ZW800 showed an excellent photothermal effect increased by 58.7 °C after NIR laser irradiation (1.1 W/cm2) for 5 min. The HT-29 tumors targeted by sorbitol–ZW800 showed a significant decrease in tumor volumes for 7 days after photothermal treatment. Therefore, combining the bifunctional sorbitol–ZW800 conjugate and NIR laser irradiation is an alternative way for targeted cancer therapy, and this approach holds great promise as a safe and highly efficient NIR photothermal agent for future clinical applications.

A feasible and biocompatible supramolecular complex self-assembled from indocyanine green (ICG) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Mβ-CD) was developed for targeted cancer imaging, which enhanced fluorescence-guided photothermal cancer therapy. This study confirmed that the formation of an inclusion complex of the heterocyclic ICG moiety and Mβ-CD inner cavity could result in improved tumor targetability compared with free ICG. The ICG-CD complex could be used as a bifunctional phototherapeutic agent for targeted cancer phototherapy due to the high tumor targetability of the Mβ-CD moiety and effective photothermal performance of the near-infrared (NIR) ICG moiety. Upon NIR laser irradiation, the photothermal effect exerted by the ICG-CD complex significantly enhanced the temperature at the tumor site by 56.2 °C within 5 min. Targeting HT-29 tumors using the ICG-CD complex resulted in an apparent reduction in tumor volumes over the 9 days after photothermal treatment. Moreover, no tumor recurrence or body weight loss were observed after administering a single dose of ICG-CD complex with NIR laser irradiation. Therefore, the administration of the biocompatible ICG-CD complex in combination with NIR laser treatment can be safely explored as a potential strategy for future clinical applications.

A CuS–DOX NP drug delivery system was synthesized by conjugating carboxyl-functionalized copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) and DOX through hydrazone bonds. The platform exhibits high in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer efficacy due to the combined chemo- and photothermal therapeutic effect upon 808 nm laser irradiation.
