technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of photodynamic therapy agents, in particular to the preparation and application of a near-infrared responsive photodynamic photothermal therapy nanocomposite material. Background technique
[0002] Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new approach to treat tumor diseases with photosensitizing drugs and laser activation. It uses a specific wavelength to irradiate the tumor site to activate the photosensitive drug selectively gathered in the tumor tissue, triggering a photochemical reaction to destroy the tumor. When the photosensitive drug in PDT is activated, it will transfer energy to the surrounding oxygen to generate a highly active singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen can oxidize with nearby biomacromolecules to produce cytotoxicity and kill tumor cells.
[0003] The generation of singlet oxygen in traditional PDT is heavily dependent on oxygen, which is a major obstacle for the clinical application of PDT. Because most ...
