Stang, July 9, 2019 (sent for review May 22, 2019; reviewed by Phil S. Baran and Jean-Marie P. Lehn) Discrete Pt(II) metallacycles have potential applications in bio- compared with traditional methods such as vesicle carriers, mel- medicine. Herein, we engineered a dual-modal imaging and chemo- anin dots can load more drugs through π–π stacking on the high- photothermal therapeutic nano-agent 1 that incorporates discrete volume surface (16, 18). Recent studies reported that melanin Pt(II) metallacycle 2 and fluorescent dye 3 (emission wavelength in dots can absorb near-infrared (NIR) optical energy and convert it the second near-infrared channel [NIR-II]) into multifunctional into heat for photothermal therapy (PTT).
