Abstract

Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles are focused to promote the pathological specificity and controlled therapeutic activation in biomedicine, but the multifunctional modulation remains challenging. Herein, size and morphology switchable phototheranostic nanoparticles are developed for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided photothermal-chemotherapy. Multifunctional polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles with the template of upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymers are designed to achieve light-controlled pulsatile drug release and concurrent activation of photothermal therapy (PTT). Wherein the UCST-featured inner core is loaded with camptothecin (CPT), the outer corona is tethered with thermo-cleavable doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug and further in-situ coated with PPy, affording the resultant CPT@DOX-UCST/PPy nanoparticles. Upon 808 nm continuous laser illumination, significant heating generated from light-absorbable PPy results in DOX prodrug cleavage and considerable size swelling (∼125-fold), which in turn promotes simultaneous dual drug release, and thus triggering the combined therapeutic activation of PTT and chemotherapy. When laser is switched off, the discontinued photothermal generation makes the nanoparticle shrink back, the...Continue Reading
