Simple and biodegradable mesoporous silica nanocarriers for enhancing antitumor therapy through photochemical synergism

“…Due to the doping of polydopamine, the nanoparticles have the characteristics of easy modification of silicon materials and have a particular photothermal version. It was reported that, temperature ≥40°C may have selective destruction effects on certain types of cancer cells 17 at 42°C, it has a demanding and irreversible inhibitory impact on the metabolism of various tumor cells while normal cells are unaffected (Figure 3(a) and (b)). After irradiation with a 2 W/cm 2 808 nm laser, the temperature can rise from 9°C to 40°C in 1200 s at a concentration of 125 μg/m and 62.5 μg/mL, the stability of the photothermal effect of the particles was tested In the five cycles within 6000 s, the time required for the nanoparticle to cycle five times from 32°C to 49°C is between 440 s and 480 s, in the presence of low concentration of nanoparticles, it still has an excellent photothermal cycling ability (Figure 3(c)).…”

“…[11][12][13] It is often used as an additive to boost materials' photothermal effect. Therefore, it is considered that the addition of PDA can exert excellent photothermal effect and acid degradability while possessing the high specific surface area, [14][15][16][17] tuneable size and modifiability of MSN.…”
