Description
Summary:Natural products show high potential for clinical translation because of their specific biological activities and molecular structure diversities. Sonosensitizers that originate from natural products play a crucial role as anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. Herein, hypocrellin-derivative nanoparticles (APHB NPs) were constructed for synchronous near-infrared fluorescence (NIR FL) imaging and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) for deep-seated tumors in vivo. The prepared APHB NPs exhibit excellent water solubility, FL in the NIR region, and effective reactive oxygen species generation under ultrasound stimulation. Furthermore, the APHB NPs show excellent biocompatibility, suitable biodegradation rate, and enhanced tumor accumulation. Therefore, the APHB NPs exhibit promising clinical potential as novel safe and precise NIR FL imaging and SDT agents for deep-seated tumor therapy.
