Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of photosensitizers, and particularly to a near-infrared nano-photosensitizer and a preparation method and use thereof. The near-infrared nano-photosensitizer in the present invention is modified by conjugation extension of the boron dipyrromethene core, achieving absorption and emission spectra close to the near-infrared region. A polyfluoroalkyl group and a polyethylene glycol group are introduced to the boron dipyrromethene structure to obtain an amphiphilic photosensitizer. By means of the strong fluorine-fluorine interaction between the polyfluoroalkyl group and the hydrophilic interaction of the polyethylene glycol group, a nano-photosensitive micelle with an ultra-low CMC value is ultimately constructed. Boron dipyrromethene is induced by fluorine-fluorine interaction to undergo J-aggregation, causing the maximum absorption peak to red-shift to the near-infrared region, beneficial to the deep phototherapy of tumors.
