Abstract

The intelligent responsive drug delivery system has great application potential in cancer precision therapy. Although many antitumor methods have been developed based on drug delivery systems, most of them yet suffer from poor antitumor efficiency. In this project, a near-infrared and pH dual-response multimodal collaborative platform for diagnosis and treatment (PCN-DOX@PDA) was constructed. We used PCN-600 as a vehicle loaded with antineoplastic drugs and polydopamine (PDA). Under 633 nm laser irradiation, the ligand tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) in PCN-600 can generate singlet oxygen (1O2) and kill tumor cells. PDA is used as photothermal agent of PTT. PCN-DOX@PDA achieves the intelligent release of antitumor drugs by responding to the weak acidity of the tumor microenvironment and thermal stimulation generated by NIR irradiation. In addition, since the central ion of PCN is Fe3+, PCN-DOX@PDA realizes the diagnosis and treatment of tumors through magnetic resonance imaging-mediated tumor chemotherapy and photothermal and photodynamic synergistic therapy. This triple synergistic strategy showed excellent biocompatibility and antitumor ability in in vivo experiments on a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model, indicating that PCN-DOX@PDA has a good development prospect in the field of precision cancer therapy and diversified biomedical applications.
