Abstract

A mitochondria-targeting supramolecular photosensitizer system TPP-QAS/WP5/DTAB was constructed based on a host-guest inclusion complex. The supramolecular system could efficiently release and activate TPP-QASs in an acidic environment, which have been demonstrated to preferentially accumulate in mitochondria. Singlet oxygen (1O2) could be in situ generated in mitochondria under light irradiation, further enhancing the PDT efficacy.
