Gold(III) Porphyrin-Metal-Polyphenolic Nanocomplexes: Breaking Intracellular Redox Environment for Enhancing Mild-Temperature Photothermal Therapy

-tannic acid nanocomplexes (AuTPP@TA-Fe NPs) were achieved via interfacial cohesion and supramolecular assembly of bioadhesive species, which could trigger the Fenton reaction to produce ·OH radicals and downregulation of reductive TrxR enzyme and mitochondrial chaperone protein Hsp60. The aggravation of oxides and the inactivation of Hsp60 provide favorable pathways for impeding the heat shock-induced self-repair mechanism of cancer cells, which strengthens AuTPP@TA-Fe NPs mediated MPTT.
