Popis: Herein, we report novel hyaluronic acid formulated nanoparticles containing a platinum(II) conjugated silicon(IV) phthalocyanine (SiPc-Pt-HA) for tumor targeted red light photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. The SiPc-Pt-HA conjugate showed specific uptake, photo-enhanced cytotoxicity (~1500 fold) and mitochondrial accumulation in breast cancer over normal cells.
