Conventional inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles have emerged as photothermal agents in photothermal therapy and as sonosensitizers in sonodynamic therapy. However, their weak drug-loading capabilities and the deficient techniques for multifunctional inorganic nanoparticles limit their applications. A bismuth-based gold-crowned nanocomposite (BACN) was rationally designed and successfully synthesized and could then be used to prepare nanoplatforms with excellent biocompatibilities for synergistic therapy and real-time imaging. Because of the constituent gold nanoparticles and pyridine, the nanoplatforms functioned as drug delivery vehicles, ultrasonically activated sonosensitizers, and photothermal agents. The BACNs exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (79.1%) in the second near-infrared biowindow (1064 nm). Cellular and mouse experiments demonstrated that under laser and ultrasound irradiation bufalin-loaded BACNs significantly reduced cancer cell counts and completely eradicated tumors, along with great therapeutic biosafety and no discernible recurrence. Additionally, BACNs were also used as contrast agents in computed tomography-photoacoustic imaging. The versatile BACN nanoplatform with multitreatment effects and trimodal imaging properties shows immense potential as an antitumor nanotherapeutic system.
