Novel concept of the smart NIR-light–controlled drug release of black phosphorus nanostructure for cancer therapy

Abstract: A biodegradable drug delivery system (DDS) is one the most promising therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Here, we propose a unique concept of light activation of black phosphorus (BP) at hydrogel nanostructures for cancer therapy. A photosensitizer converts light into heat that softens and melts drug-loaded hydrogel-based nanostructures. Drug release rates can be accurately controlled by light intensity, exposure duration, BP concentration, and hydrogel composition. Owing to sufficiently deep penetratio… Show more

“…In recent years, a new type of 2D single‐element material has been successfully prepared and widely used in the field of photodetectors due to its graphene‐like electronic structure and excellent optical and electronic properties. BP is currently the most popular single‐element 2D material with an adjustable direct bandgap . When the thickness of the bulk BP is reduced to a single layer, its bandgap is increased from 0.3 to 2.0 eV .…”

“…In recent years, nanocarriers have been intensively investigated for cancer therapeutics . To date, many mechanisms have been proposed to regulate the time, rate and location of the drugs . Recently, we developed a free‐blockage controlled release system by integrating water channel with mesoporous nanocarriers, which realized controlled releasing chemotherapeutic agents in tumor cells .…”

“…[112] The CarHC domains tetramerize when binding to adenosylco balamin (AdoB12) in the dark and can readily dissociate into monomers accompanied with a drastic protein conformational change caused by the cleavage of the CCo bond on exposure to green (522 nm) or white light.

“…[113] NIRinduced (808 nm) heating due to the photothermal con version of BP results in hydrolysis and subsequent melting of the hydrogel, which triggers the controlled release of encap sulated doxorubicin (DOX) ( Figure 3A). Cao and co workers developed an NIRlightcontrolled drug delivery plat form based on the composite hydrogels of lowmeltingpoint agarose and PEGylated black phosphorous (BP) nanosheets.…”
