A Dual‐Targeted Organic Photothermal Agent for Enhanced Photothermal Therapy

Abstract: The development of highly effective anticancer drugs that cause minimal damage to the surrounding normal tissues is a challenging topic in cancer therapy. Herein, we demonstrate a dual‐targeted organic molecule that functions as a photothermal agent by actively targeting tumor tissue and mitochondria to selectively kill cancer cells. The synthesized photothermal agent exhibited high photothermal conversion efficiency, low cytotoxicity, and good biological compatibility. In vivo experiments showed an excellent … Show more

“…Photothermal therapy (PTT) based on triggering of cancer cell death through the absorbance and conversion of light to induce hyperthermia is currently an important strategy for non‐invasive cancer therapy . Furthermore, the development of efficient photothermal agents (PTs) that can achieve integration of diagnosis and treatment currently represents a challenging problem for medicinal chemists …”

“…In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT) has been demonstrated as a highly effective cancer treatment by many scientists. [7][8][9] Photothermal reagents are designed to accumulate at tumor sites, and when the tumor sites are irradiated with near-infrared (NIR) lasers, site-specific hyperthermia is induced and the cancer cells die. 10,11 The laser is an important element in PTT, and its properties in biological tissues directly affect the therapeutic effect of PTT.…”

“…With the development of medicine and the increase in the proportion of patients with tumour diseases, building a precise treatment platform will become a trend in future biomedical elds. 84,85 Especially for the treatment of malignant tumours, traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy schemes have brought great pain to patients and have caused serious damage to the patients' bodies. In order to solve these issues, the development of imaging-induced precise therapies is of great signicance to overcome malignant tumour diseases.…”
