Imaging-guided cancer theranostic is a promising strategy for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an approved treatment modality, is limited by the poor solubility and dispersion of photosensitizers (PS) in biological fluids. Herein, it is demonstrated that superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-based nanoparticles (SCFs), prepared by conjugated with Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and modified with folic acid (FA) on the surface, can be used as versatile drug delivery vehicles for effective PDT. The nanoparticles are great carriers for photosensitizer Ce6 with an extremely high loading efficiency. In vitro fluorescence imaging and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results indicated that SCFs selectively accumulated in tumor cells. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, SCFs were confirmed to be capable of inducing low cell viability of RM-1 cells In vitro and displaying efficient tumor ablation with negligible side effects in tumor-bearing mice models.

Colon cancer is the third major cancer contributor to mortality worldwide. Nanosized particles have attracted attention due to their possible contribution towards cancer treatment and diagnosis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer therapeutic modality that involves a light source, a photosensitizer and reactive oxygen species. Carbon nanotubes are fascinating nanocarriers for drug delivery, cancer diagnosis and numerous potential applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. In this study, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were coupled with hyaluronic acid (HA) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) coated on the walls of SWCNTs. The newly synthesized nanobiocomposite was characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform electron microscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), particle size analysis and zeta potential. The loading efficiency of the SWCNTs-HA for Ce6 was calculated. The toxicity of the nanobiocomposite was tested on colon cancer cells using PDT at a fluence of 5 J/cm2 and 10 J/cm2. After 24 h, cellular changes were observed via microscopy, LDH cytotoxicity assay and cell death induction using annexin propidium iodide. The results showed that the newly synthesized nanobiocomposite enhanced the ability of PDT to be a photosensitizer carrier and induced cell death in colon cancer cells.

Prostate cancer is an extremely common cancer among older men. Conventional chemotherapy has proven to be not effective enough in battling it due to its high systemic toxicity and low selectivity. An alternative method of cancer treatment known as photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to be effective. It is not without its faults either: one of the issues it’s been known to have is the insufficient selectivity of photosensitizer accumulation in tumor tissues. Recent studies, however, seem to indicate that introducing a PSMA-targeted moiety into photosensitizer might prove to be a solution to this problem. The present paper is concerned with synthesis of PSMA-targeted 131- and 152-substituted chlorin e6 conjugates and their biological characteristics. Our data suggests that the developed conjugates show potential as targeted agents for photodynamic therapy.

The main purpose of this study is to synthesize novel types of nanophotosensitizers that are based on hyperbranched chlorin e6 (Ce6) via disulfide linkages. Moreover, hyperbranched Ce6 was conjugated with hyaluronic acid (HA) for CD44-receptor mediated delivery and redox-sensitive photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancer cells. Hyperbranched Ce6 was considered to make novel types of macromolecular photosensitizer since most of the previous studies regarding nanophotosensizers are concerned with simple conjugation between monomeric units of photosensitizer and polymer materials. Hyperbranched Ce6 was synthesized by conjugation of Ce6 each other while using disulfide linkage. To synthesize Ce6 tetramer, carboxyl groups of Ce6 were conjugated with cystamine and three equivalents of Ce6 were then conjugated again with the end of amine groups of Ce6-cystamine. To synthesize Ce6 decamer as a hyperbranched Ce6, six equivalents of Ce6 was conjugated with the end of Ce6 tetramer via cystamine linkage. Furthermore, HA-cystamine was attached with Ce6 tetramer or Ce6 decamer to synthesize HA-Ce6 tetramer (Ce6tetraHA) or HA-Ce6 decamer (Ce6decaHA) conjugates. Ce6tetraHA and Ce6decaHA nanophotosensitizers showed small diameters of less than 200 nm. The addition of dithiothreitol (DTT) and hyaluronidase (HAse) induced a faster Ce6 release rate in vitro drug release study, which indicated that Ce6tetraHA nanophotosensitizers possess redox-sensitive and HAse-sensitive release properties. Ce6tetraHA nanophotosensitizers showed higher intracellular Ce6 accumulation, higher ROS generation, and higher PDT efficacy than that of Ce6 alone. Ce6tetraHA nanophotosensitizers responded to the CD44 receptor of cancer cell surface, i.e., the pre-treatment of HA blocked CD44 receptor of U87MG or HCT116 cells and then inhibited delivery of nanophotosensitizers in vitro cell culture study. Furthermore, in vivo tumorxenograft study showed that fluorescence intensity in the tumor tissues was stronger than those of other organs, while CD44 receptor blocking by HA pretreatment induced a decrease of fluorescence intensity in tumor tissues when compared to liver. These results indicated that Ce6tetraHA nanophotosensitizers delivered to tumors by redox-sensitive and CD44-sensitive manner.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective, noninvasive and nontoxic therapeutics for cancer and some other diseases. It is becoming a alternative of traditional therapeutics for cancers. But the efficacy of PDT was restricted by insufficient selectivity and low solubility. In this study, novel multifunctional silica-based magnetic nanoparticles were prepared as targeting drug delivery system to achieve higher specificity and better solubility. Haematoporphyrin derivative (photosan) was used as photosensitizer. Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and photosan were incorporated in silica nanoparticles by microemulsion and sol-gel methods. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The nanoparticles possessed good biocompatibility and could cause remarkable photodynamic anti-tumor effects. These suggested that photosan-Fe3O4 nanoparticles had great potential as effective drug delivery system in targeting photodynamic therapy.
