Abstract
Abstract A dual-functional nanosysterm is developed by means of Chlorin e6 (Ce6) as photosensitizer and 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as fluorescent singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) probe. Under 660 nm laser irradiation, Ce6 exhibites efficient 1 O 2 generation, and subsequently the production of 1 O 2 is assessed by the ratiometric fluorescence of PFO and DPBF under one-photon and two-photon excitation mode. The nanoparticles with excellent biocompatibility can be internalized into Hela cells and applied for tumor treatment. For intracellular PDT, the nanoparticles perform a high phototoxicity, while the PDT proccess can be evaluated in time by monitoring fluorescence signals of DPBF. This theranostic nanosysterm provides a facile strategy to fabricate 1 O 2 -detection PDT, which can realize accurate and efficient photodynamic therapy based on singlet oxygen detection.
