Abstract

A combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy has emerged as a promising method of cancer treatment since it can enhance therapeutic efficacies and reduce side effects. Herein, we fabricated doxorubicin (DOX) loaded PEG-dBSA-RuS1.7 which could be used as a synergistic therapeutic nanoplatform. The PEG-dBSA-RuS1.7/DOX nanoparticles exhibit good monodispersity, physiological stability and biocompatibility. Moreover, the prepared PEG-dBSA-RuS1.7/DOX nanoparticles can intelligently release DOX by pH- and NIR-triggered therapy. In comparison with chemotherapy or photothermal treatment alone, the combined therapy shows a better therapeutic effect. We believe that the PEG-dBSA-RuS1.7/DOX can act as an efficient multifunctional nanoplatform for chemophotothermal synergistic cancer therapy.
