We engineered a novel nanocomplex of a photosensitizer, an aptamer and graphene oxide, which could function as a “cage” for controlling singlet oxygen generation, and efficiently deliver the photosensitizers to cancer cells.

In this work, two new photopharmacological ruthenium prodrugs are described that can be activated by green light. Cell death occurs via apoptosis; it is not a consequence of singlet oxygen generation, but of light-induced photosubstitution reactions.
