摘要

Cancer synergistic therapy usually shows improved therapeutic efficacy with low side effects. In this contribution, an aza-BODIPY-derived photosensitizer NBDP with asymmetric structure and the periphery phenyl ring modified with bromine atom was designed and synthesized for synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Photosensitizer NBDP exhibited good singlet oxygen (1O2) generation capacity (1.43 times higher than that of ICG), and NBDP NPs showed an outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of 46.0% under 660 nm photoirradiation. Guided by in vivo photoacoustic (PA) imaging, NBDP NPs were found to targetedly accumulate in the tumor tissues in 6 h. All results showed that the aza-BODIPY-derived photosensitizer NBDP had great potential for PA/photothermal imaging-guided synergistic PTT/PDT.
