A monomeric photosensitizer for targeted cancer therapy

Abstract

A targeted photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) was fabricated by incorporation of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and folic acid (FA) into polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) micelles, which exhibits excellent anticancer performance revealed by both in vitro studies and in vivo tests.
