Abstract
The targeted delivery of a photosensitizer (PS) into specific cancer cells is an effective way to enhance the efficacy and minimize the side effects of photodynamic therapy. Herein, heptamannosylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was used to mediate the formation of an adamantane (Ad)-functionalized BODIPY PS nanoparticle via strong β-CD/Ad complexation. The mannose-functionalized PS nanoparticles are selectively internalized by mannose-receptor-rich MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis, facilitating singlet oxygen generation to trigger apoptosis in cancer cells upon red light irradiation. These nanoparticles exhibit excellent targeted delivery of the PS, leading to cancer cell death after irradiation both in vitro and in vivo.
