Platinum-Doped Prussian Blue Nanozymes for Multiwavelength Bioimaging Guided Photothermal Therapy of Tumor and Anti-Inflammation.

Developing appropriate photothermal agents to meet complex clinical demands is an urgent challenge for photothermal therapy of tumors. Here, platinum-doped Prussian blue (PtPB) nanozymes with tunable spectral absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and good antioxidative catalytic activity are developed by one-step reduction. By controlling the doping ratio, PtPB nanozymes exhibit tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) frequency with significantly enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency and allow multiwavelength photoacoustic/infrared thermal imaging guided photothermal therapy. Experimental band gap and density functional theory calculations further reveal that the decrement of free carrier concentrations and increase in circuit paths of electron transitions co-contribute to the enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency of PtPB with tunable LSPR frequency. Benefiting from antioxidative catalytic activity, PtPB can simultaneously relieve inflammation caused by hyperthermia. Moreover, PtPB nanozymes exhibited good biosafety after intravenous injection. Our findings provide a paradigm for designing safe and efficient photothermal agents to treat complex tumor diseases.
