Boosting Hydroxyl Radical Generation with Nitrogen Vacancy–Modified Carbon Nitride for Triggering Dual Damage of Cancer Nucleus DNA–Mitochondria against Hypoxic... by Zhang Y, Liu M, Xue S, Li N, Hong J, Gu J, Ren X, Li H, Xu J, Zhang C, Liang T, Zhao B, Wang X

“…Under illumination, NV-PCN generates a burst of •OH around the nuclei and mitochondria of Cal-27 cells, which effectively kills the cells via synchronously leading to DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Compared to the conventional photosensitizer chlorin e6, NV-PCN–based PDT exhibits excellent anticancer performance in vitro and in vivo, highlighting its potential as a next-generation therapeutic agent.Conclusion: Collectively, the high •OH-generation efficiency, strong anticancer activity, and overall safety of the O2-independent nanoparticle opens up new avenues for in-depth study on carbon nitride-based cancer PDT strategies. …”
