摘要：Stimulus-sensitive nanoparticles (NPs) have been established to widely adapt to remarkable abnormalities under the tumor microenvironment, which can observably enhance the therapeutic efficiency, improve the specific targeting ability and reduce the side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a promising non-invasive and selective treatment for cancers through photodynamic reaction can profit from stimulus-sensitive NPs. Herein, a harmonious amphiphilic polymer (PEG-b-PTPPDS-b-PEG) with an extremely sensitive redox response is constructed via click chemistry between N-3-TPPC6-N-3, PEG-N-3 and alkynyl-containing disulfide ester for PDT. This polymer can be self-assembled into micelles with excellent stability, ultra-fast sensitivity of redox-triggered porphyrin release, and significant photodynamic anticancer performance. The redox-triggered dissociation of micelles and the release of porphyrin are much faster than common porphyrin-containing polymer. The bio-distribution and phototoxicity of micelles against A549 cells are measured and evaluated in vitro by flow cytometry, confocal scanning laser microscopy (CLSM) and MTT assay, respectively. The results reveal that PEG-b-PTPPDS-b-PEG micelles can effectively enhance the cellular uptake and cellular internalization of porphyrin and have an extremely low dark toxicity with efficient PDT towards A549 cells. This intracellular responsive nanoparticle provides a potential strategy for anticancer therapeutic application.
