摘要： Photo-Chemo combination therapy has been intensively investigated for treatment of cancers, especially multidrug resistance cancer. However, antagonistic interactions between chemo-drugs and photosensitizers are frequently reported, and drugs doses and treatment sequences have been changed to overcome the problems. We observed the antagonistic effect by a decrease in singlet oxygen generation from the photosensitizer when Dox was in close physical proximity. To control the distance between Dox and the photosensitizer, we developed a novel pH-sensitive poly ionomer complex system composed of PEG-PLL(-g-Ce6) [Chlorin e6 grafted poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lysine)] and PEG-PLL(-g-DMA)-PLA [2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride grafted poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lysine)-poly(lactic acid)] and evaluated this system with regard to singlet oxygen generation and antiproliferative activity against MCF-7/Dox cells. Enhanced singlet oxygen generation and antiproliferative activities were observed in vitro and in vivo for the poly ionomer complex system compared to PEG-PLL(-g-Ce6)-PLA/Dox due to the change in distance between Dox and Ce6 in the PIC system under acidic conditions. Our results highlight the importance of interactions between co-loaded drugs in combination therapy, and provide new insights into design principles for tailor-made nanomedicine platforms.
