Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy have been extensively developed as effective approaches against cancer. Herein, we constructed organic nanorods by rational co-assembly of photosensitizer, di-iodinated borondipyrromethene (BDP-I), and chemical anticancer drug, paclitaxel (PTX). The physico- and photochemical properties of the obtained nanorods were carefully investigated. BDP-I was selected for its high singlet oxygen (O) quantum yields. And the corresponding O generation ability and photodynamic effect were evaluated both and . The accelerated endosomal escape of the nanorods induced by the photodynamic effect enhanced the chemotherapeutic efficacy of PTX. We believe that this synergetic nanomedicine represents a new development for antitumor chemophotodynamic therapy.
光动力疗法（PDT）和化疗已被广泛开发为对抗癌症的有效方法。在此，我们通过合理共组装光敏剂二碘化硼二吡咯亚甲基（BDP-I）和化学抗癌药物紫杉醇（PTX）构建了有机纳米棒。对所得纳米棒的物理和光化学性质进行了仔细研究。选择BDP-I是因为其具有高单线态氧（O）量子产率。并在体外和体内评估了相应的O生成能力和光动力效应。光动力效应诱导的纳米棒加速内体逃逸增强了PTX的化疗疗效。我们相信这种协同纳米药物代表了抗肿瘤化学光动力疗法的新进展。
