Hyaluronic acid grafted nanoparticles of a platinum(ii)–silicon(iv) phthalocyanine conjugate for tumor and mitochondria-targeted photodynamic therapy in red light

Abstract

Herein, we report novel hyaluronic acid formulated nanoparticles containing a platinum(II) conjugated silicon(IV) phthalocyanine (SiPc–Pt–HA) for tumor targeted red light photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. The SiPc–Pt–HA conjugate showed specific uptake, photo-enhanced cytotoxicity (∼1500 fold) and mitochondrial accumulation in breast cancer over normal cells.
