Mitigating the skin phototoxicity of sonodynamic therapy via singlet oxygen-consuming metal-organic frameworks

Sonodynamic anti-cancer therapy relies on the highly active singlet oxygen to induce potent cell death. However, the non-specific biodistribution of sonosensitizers post systemic administration results in a significant accumulation in the skin, and hence the daylight-induced phototoxicity. Here, we report a smart metal-organic framework-based nanocarrier with titanium dioxide (TiO
