Photodynamic Therapy Activity of New Porphyrin-Xylan-Coated Silica Nanoparticles in Human Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using porphyrins has been approved for treatment of several solid tumors due to the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, low physiological solubility and lack of selectivity towards tumor sites are the main limitations of their clinical use. Nanoparticles are able to spontaneously accumulate in solid tumors through an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect due to leaky vasculature, poor lymphatic drainage, and increased vessel permeability.

“…Noteworthy, and based on the evidence accumulated using the pharmacological targets reviewed here, the use of NPs to facilitate the distribution of drugs modulating lipid hydroperoxide generation in cancer patients seems to be of potential pharmacological interest. NPs can incorporate molecules on their surface that preferentially target cancer cells (i.e., folate [232] and 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin [233]). The successful delivery of anticancer drugs can be achieved through this strategy [234][235][236][237].…”

“…Many other types of cancer have been the focus of PDT either as primary or complementary treatment, and the trend is similar in the majority of the new approaches. Gastric, colorectal, urogenital, bladder, and pancreatic cancer, besides previously discussed breast and lung cancers, are among the ones where PDT therapies have been deeply researched, either looking to improve the delivery of the known photosensitizers or oxygen, or improve the capability of the light source [ 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 ]. Nevertheless, the search for new photosensitizers is also an active target for the development of PDT.…”

“…Silica NPs (80 nm) coated with xylan–TPPOH conjugate was studied for such purpose and showed significant phototoxic effects from post-PDT ROS generation, and stronger cellular uptake in the human colorectal cancer cell line. They showed high anticancer efficacy [ 136 ]. The dual specificity of PDT relies on the accumulation of PS in tumour tissue and localized light delivery.…”
