A covalent organic framework-based nanoagent for H2S-activable phototherapy against colon cancer†
Abstract
Herin, we report a Cu(II)-porphyrin-derived nanoscale COF, which can be triggered by endogenous H2S via an intracellular sulfidation reaction to generate a metal-free COF-photosensitizer for PDT against H2S-enriched colon tumors with controllable singlet oxygen release; meanwhile in situ generated CuS can be synchronously used as a photothermal agent for PTT.
