Abstract In tumor therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted more and more attention. In order to address the limitations of photosensitizer skin photosensitivity and molecular aggregation that can reduce photodynamic effects, the amphiphilic block copolymer containing reactive oxygen (ROS)-sensitive keto thiol-linked DOX was synthesized. The photosensitizer dihydroporphyrin e6 (Ce6) was physically encapsulated to construct the co-delivered nanocarrier which can be activated by intracellular ROS. The nanocarrier itself was in the inactive state, showing a weak photodynamic effect and low cytotoxicity. However, at high concentrations within the tumour cells under the action of ROS, ketone mercaptan linkage would be cleaved and DOX would be released, resulting in the disassembly of the micelles and release of Ce6. Ce6 and DOX could be released effectively in high ROS concentration. Compared to the nanocarriers that were not sensitive to intracellular ROS, the ROS sensitive nanocarriers could be readily activated after internalization. Therefore, more ROS could be generated after light irradiation. Moreover, the intracellular release of Ce6 and DOX was very beneficial to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. The co-delivered nanocarriers showed higher cytotoxic effect and inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells effectively compared with the single treatment of DOX and Ce6.
