Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Photochemistry
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes singlet oxygen (1O2) for cancer treatment.
  • Traditional photosensitizers (PS) often lack selectivity, limiting therapeutic efficacy.
  • Controllable PDT aims to enhance selectivity and efficiency by regulating 1O2 generation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review controllable PDT strategies based on regulated singlet oxygen efficiency.
  • To introduce various initiating conditions for controllable PDT.
  • To elucidate the action mechanisms underlying these controllable strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Summarizing and introducing controllable PDT strategies.
  • Analyzing initiating conditions (pH, light, H2O2).
  • Describing key action mechanisms: photoinduced electron transfer (PET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and physical/chemical means.

Main Results:

  • Various controllable PDT strategies have been identified and categorized.
  • Different initiating conditions offer tunable control over 1O2 generation.
  • Understanding action mechanisms is crucial for designing effective PS and strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Controllable PDT offers a promising approach to overcome the limitations of traditional photosensitizers.
  • Regulating singlet oxygen efficiency is key to developing effective and selective cancer therapies.
  • This review provides insights for designing novel photosensitizers and strategies for advanced PDT.
