ABSTRACT
A porphyrin-containing nanoscale covalent organic polymer (COP) was fabricated from 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) and cystamine via an acylation reaction. On the one hand, TCPP can induce tumor cell death by laser irradiation. Due to the presence of disulfide bonds of cystamine which can react with glutathione, it exhibits depletion of glutathione and accumulation of peroxides in tumor cells. Ultimately by the hyaluronic acid to encapsulate the COP to get S-COP@HA, the nanoparticle with a size of 168.6 nm also exhibits good tumor accumulation and biosafety. Significant inhibition of tumor cell growth was observed after two consecutive doses of S-COP@HA at relatively low laser densities. This combination therapy was proved to reduce the level of reduced glutathione in tumor cells, where ferroptosis occurs after photodynamic treatment. Overall, this study presents a potent, good therapeutic option for the effective enhancement of photodynamic therapy by glutathione depletion.
