Abstract
Controlled drug release and synergistic therapies have an important impact on improving therapeutic efficacy in cancer theranostics. Herein, a new near-infrared (NIR) light-controlled multi-functional nanoplatform (GNR@mSiO
2
-DOX/PFP@PDA) was developed for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumours. In this nano-system, doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and perfluoro-
n
-pentane (PFP) were loaded into the channels of mesoporous SiO
2
simultaneously as a first step. A polydopamine (PDA) layer as the gatekeeper was coated on their surface to reduce premature release of drugs at physiological temperature. Upon 808 nm NIR irradiation, the gold nanorods (GNR) in the core of the nanoplatform show high photothermal conversion efficiency, which not only can provide the heat for PTT, but also can decompose the polymer PDA to allow DOX release from the channels of mesoporous SiO
2
. Most importantly, the photothermal conversion of GNR can also lead the liquid–gas phase transition of PFP to generate bubbles to accelerate the release of DOX, which can realize the chemotherapy of tumours. The subsequent synergistic chemo-PTT (contributed by the DOX and GNR) shows good anti-cancer activity. This work shows that the NIR-triggered multi-functional nanoplatform is of capital significance for future potential applications in drug delivery and cancer treatment.
