Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as a promising noninvasive therapeutic modality, has received ever-increasing attention in recent years. Its specialized chemical agents, named sonosensitizers, are activated by low-intensity US to produce lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) for oncotherapy. Compared with phototherapeutic strategies, SDT provides many noteworthy opportunities and benefits, such as deeper penetration depth, absence of phototoxicity, and fewer side effects. Nevertheless, previous studies have also demonstrated its intrinsic limitations. Thanks to the facile engineering nature of nanotechnology, numerous novel nanoplatforms are being applied in this emerging field to tackle these intrinsic barriers and achieve continuous innovations. In particular, the combination of SDT with other treatment strategies has demonstrated a superior efficacy in improving anticancer activity relative to that of monotherapies alone. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the nanomaterial-assisted combinational sonodynamic cancer therapy applications. Herein, the design principles in achieving synergistic therapeutic effects based on nanomaterial engineering methods are highlighted. The ultimate goals are to stimulate the design of better-quality combined sonodynamic treatment schemes and provide innovative ideas for the perspectives of SDT in promoting its future transformation to clinical application.

“…Additionally, the unwanted side effect could also be decreased through encapsulation of chemotherapy. It has been reported that perfluoropentane (PFP) owns an outstanding capacity of transforming from liquid phase to gas phase under irradiation, which could be applied as a novel ultrasound molecular probe, especially in ultrasonic imaging and treatment [30]. More importantly, the initial liquid phase enables PFP to be readily encapsulated in various materials [31].…”

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound-Augmented Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Integrating Ultrasound Imaging and Synergistic Therapy of Metastatic Breast Cancer

The metastasis of breast cancer is believed to have a negative effect on its prognosis. Benefiting from the remarkable deep-penetrating and noninvasive characteristics, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) demonstrates a whole series of potential leading to cancer treatment. To relieve the limitation of monotherapy, a multifunctional nanoplatform has been explored to realize the synergistic treatment efficiency. Herein, we establish a novel multifunctional nano-system which encapsulates chlorin e6 (Ce6, for SDT), perfluoropentane (PFP, for ultrasound imaging), and docetaxel (DTX, for chemotherapy) in a well-designed PLGA core–shell structure. The synergistic Ce6/PFP/DTX/PLGA nanoparticles (CPDP NPs) featured with excellent biocompatibility and stability primarily enable its further application. Upon low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) irradiation, the enhanced ultrasound imaging could be revealed both in vitro and in vivo. More importantly, combined with LIFU, the nanoparticles exhibit intriguing antitumor capability through Ce6-induced cytotoxic reactive oxygen species as well as DTX releasing to generate a concerted therapeutic efficiency. Furthermore, this treating strategy actives a strong anti-metastasis capability by which lung metastatic nodules have been significantly reduced. The results indicate that the SDT-oriented nanoplatform combined with chemotherapy could be provided as a promising approach in elevating effective synergistic therapy and suppressing lung metastasis of breast cancer.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as a promising non‐invasive therapeutic modality combining ultrasound (US) and sonosensitizers to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for treating deep‐seated tumors, has received increasing attention in recent years. Porphyrins are multifunctional organic materials, which can be excited both by light and US to produce ROS and possess various fascinating features, including controllable synthetic processes, excellent biodegradability, low cytotoxicity without light or US. Nevertheless, their poor water solubility, skin‐photosensitive toxicity, and insufficient target specificity hinder their clinical applications as sonosensitizer. Although the target specificity issue may be improved by using nanoparticle carriers, and the SDT efficacy can be enhanced by combining with other therapeutic modalities, such combination therapy makes it more confusing about the true mechanism of SDT. This review will focus on the following points: 1) Why are porphyrin‐based sonosensitizers considered the most promising sonosensitizer for clinical applications of SDT? 2) Recent progress in the development of multifunctional porphyrin‐based sonosensitizers. 3) What new insight has been gained on the mechanism of SDT in recent years? 4) The development trend of designing more efficient multifunctional porphyrin‐based sonosensitizers and existing challenges. Finally, future perspective of practical clinical applications of SDT based on multifunctional porphyrin‐based sonosensitizers will be discussed.
