(1) Background: Though X-ray excited photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) breakthrough the bottom neck of PDT application in deep tumor by overcoming light penetration depth limitation, the quantum yield of the hydrophilic X-PDT nanoparticles (NPs) still hampered its further application in vivo. Thus, establishing a proper hydrophilic decoration method which can maximally maintain the quantum yield of X-ray excited luminescent NPs is of urgent demand. (2) Methods: We synthesized NaGdF4: [Formula: see text] (NGF) as X-ray excited luminescent NPs and conducted hydrophilic decoration by two hydrophilic ligands, polyethylene glycol-NH2 (PEG) and cysteamine (Cy) via place exchange reaction, and coupled with photosensitizer (MC540) to form a X-PDT nanosystem. We also conducted experiments in vitro and in vivo to evaluate the efficacy of the X-PDT system. (3) Results: Both PEG and Cy decoration NPs presented excellent emission intensity, which could well excite the coupled photosensitizer MC540 to generate significant X-PDT efficacy under low-dose X-ray radiation. Especially for the NGF-Cy-MC540 treatment group, the cell viability reduced to [Formula: see text]% under 0.3[Formula: see text]Gy radiation and [Formula: see text]% under only 0.1[Formula: see text]Gy radiation, which is the lowest radiation dosage in the literature reports so far. In vivo experiment showed about 36% of tumor inhibition rate under 0.3[Formula: see text]Gy X-ray. Besides, no biotoxicity was observed in NGF groups even in high concentrations, demonstrating good biocompatibility. (4) Conclusions: The hydrophilic decoration method by Cy or PEG via place exchange reaction may pave a brand new way and strategy for X-PDT further clinical application.

Citrate gold nanoparticles of 13.5 nm average diameters have been synthesized by Turkevich method and further functionalized by place exchange reaction using mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA), 1,4-benezenedimethanethiol (1,4BDMT) or mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) as the incoming ligands. In the first case, the functionalization of the gold clusters with MSA yielded solution of blue color and large aggregates on carbon grids. Moreover, after filtration and drying, any film formed by hydrogen bonding, could not be removed from the filter, being embedded into the filter texture. The second ligand used for the place exchange reaction, the 1,4BDMT, determined the change of the solution color from red to dark purple, and generation of a purple powder but no film formation. In the third case, the purification and drying of the MUA functionalized gold clusters yielded films of purple color with homogenous composition, robustness, soft topographies and remarkable optical properties which were dependent on their thicknesses. The Au-MUA NP films obtained are new, being generated by hydrogen bonding and having features which makes them very attractive for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. The long alkyl chained thiol proved to be the adequate ligand for film synthesis.
