Selective Photothermal Therapy Using Antioxidant Nanoparticles Encapsulating Novel Near-Infrared-Absorbing Platinum(II) Complexes by Ryota Sawamura, Hiromi Kurokawa, Atsushi Taninaka, Takuto Toriumi, Yukio Nagasaki, Hidemi Shigekawa, Hirofumi Matsui, Nobuhiko Iki

“…We previously reported that the NIR-absorbing hydrophobic diradical-platinum(II) complex PtL₂ (L = 3,5-dibromo-1,2-diiminobenzosemiquinonato radical) can kill cancer cells through its photothermal conversion ability. In this study, we developed PtL₂-loading nanoparticles (PtL₂@RNPs) for the delivery of the complex to tumors based on the enhanced permeability and retention effect using an amphiphilic block copolymer that can scavenge reactive oxygen species. …”
