Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the efficacy of dual-organelle-targeted organic small-molecule photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment.
Utilized organic small-molecule photosensitizers designed for dual-organelle targeting.
Applied photodynamic therapy techniques to activated photosensitizers in light-exposed cells.
Assessed reactive oxygen species generation and cellular damage in cancer cells.
Demonstrated increased generation of reactive oxygen species compared to traditional photosensitizers.
Showed improved therapeutic efficacy in targeted cancer cell destruction.
Indicated minimal damage to surrounding healthy cells, enhancing treatment safety.

Abstract

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a minimally invasive and clinically adaptable strategy for cancer treatment, leveraging photosensitizer (PS) activation by light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that destroy...
