In this work, we report a successful synthesis of copper bismuth sulfide nanorods (NRs) with broad and strong photoabsorption ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, which can be used as a 1064 nm-laser-driven photothermal agent with the photothermal conversion efficiency of 40.7%, noticeably higher than most of the reported PTT agents working in NIR-II window. The as-prepared PEGylated CuBiS NRs were used as photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and CT imaging agents due to their strong NIR absorption and large X-ray attenuation coefficient of bismuth. We are the first to demonstrate that a small quantity of PEGylated CuBiS NRs in tumors can concentrate radiation energy and trigger mild PTT under NIR-II irradiation and thus, these particles could be used as a novel, synergistic thermoradiotheraputic agent that enhances the efficacy of radiotherapy.
在这项工作中,我们成功合成了具有广泛且强烈光吸收的铜铋硫化纳米棒(NRs),其光吸收范围从紫外线(UV)到近红外(NIR)波长,可作为 1064nm 激光驱动的光热剂,其光热转换效率为 40.7%,明显高于大多数在近红外二区(NIR-II)窗口工作的 PTT 试剂。由于铋的强近红外吸收和大 X 射线衰减系数,所制备的 PEG 化 CuBiS NRs 可用作光声成像(PAI)和 CT 成像试剂。我们首次证明,肿瘤中少量的 PEG 化 CuBiS NRs 可以集中辐射能,并在近红外二区照射下引发温和的 PTT,因此,这些颗粒可用作一种新型的协同热放疗试剂,增强放疗的疗效。
