Abstract

The folic acid conjugated hollow nanosphere is used to encapsulate protoporphyrin IX and is utilized for photodynamic therapy. This system represents a 3.33 times higher photodynamic efficiency than previous protoporphyrin IX-based systems. The result proposes a new opportunity for effective photodynamic therapy of folate receptor positive tumor cells.
