Nanoparticles (NPs) have been shown to have good ability to improve the targeting and delivery of therapeutics. In the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT), this targeting advantage of NPs could help ensure drug delivery at specific sites. Among the commonly reported NPs for PDT applications, NPs from zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and fullerene are commonly reported. In addition, graphene has also been reported to be used as NPs albeit being relatively new to this field. In this context, the present review is organized by these different NPs and contains numerous research works related to PDT applications. The effectiveness of these NPs for PDT is discussed in detail by collecting all essential information described in the literature. The information thus assembled could be useful in designing new NPs specific for PDT and/or PTT applications in the future.
纳米颗粒(NPs)已被证明具有良好的能力来改善治疗药物的靶向性和递送。在光动力疗法(PDT)领域,NPs的这种靶向优势有助于确保药物在特定部位的递送。在常用于PDT应用的NPs中,氧化锌、二氧化钛和富勒烯制成的NPs是常见报道的。此外,石墨烯也已被报道用作NPs,尽管在该领域相对较新。在此背景下,本综述按这些不同的NPs进行组织,并包含许多与PDT应用相关的研究工作。通过收集文献中描述的所有重要信息,详细讨论了这些NPs用于PDT的有效性。如此收集的信息可能有助于未来设计针对PDT和/或光热疗法(PTT)应用的新型NPs。
