Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via Fenton-like reaction is greatly attractive owing to its capability to generate highly cytotoxic •OH radicals from tumoral hydrogen peroxide (HO). However, the antitumor efficacy of CDT is often challenged by the relatively low radical generation efficiency and the high levels of antioxidative glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment. Herein, an innovative photothermal Fenton-like catalyst, Fe-chelated polydopamine (PDA@Fe) nanoparticle, with excellent GSH-depleting capability is constructed via one-step molecular assembly strategy for dual-modal imaging-guided synergetic photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy. Fe(III) ions in PDA@Fe nanoparticles can consume the GSH overexpressed in tumor microenvironment to avoid the potential •OH consumption, while the as-produced Fe(II) ions subsequently convert tumoral HO into cytotoxic •OH radicals through the Fenton reaction. Notably, PDA@Fe nanoparticles demonstrate excellent near-infrared light absorption that results in superior photothermal conversion ability, which further boosts above-mentioned cascade catalysis to yield more •OH radicals for enhanced CDT. Taken together with T-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement (r = 8.13 mM s) and strong photoacoustic (PA) imaging signal of PDA@Fe nanoparticles, this design finally realizes the synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic therapy. Overall, this work offers a new promising paradigm to effectively accommodate both imaging and therapy functions in one well-defined framework for personalized precision disease treatment.
