ABSTRACT
Phototherapy is a promising approach for the treatment of cancers and other diseases. So far, many photosensitizers have been developed for photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT). However, it remains a challenge to develop a system for synergistic PDT and PTT with specific targeting and real-time fluorescence tracking. Herein, we designed a multifunctional BODIPY derivative, Lyso-BDP, for synergistic PDT and PTT against tumors. Lyso-BDP was composed of three parts (1) the BODIPY fluorophore was selected as a theranostic core, (2) a morpholine group modified on meso-BODIPY served as a lysosome-targeting unit for enhancing the antitumor effect, and (3) N,N-diethyl-4-vinylaniline was attached to the BODIPY core to extend its wavelength to the near-infrared region. Finally, Lyso-BDP shows near-infrared absorption and emission, photosensitizing activity, lysosomal targeting, and synergistic PDT and PTT effects, and effectively kills cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, our study demonstrates that Lyso-BDP can serve as a promising photosensitizer in the therapy of cancer with potential clinical application prospects.
