Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using photosensitizer drug has become an important therapeutic modality. However, the stability and targeted delivery of photosensitizer remain a critical challenge for efficient PDT treatment. In the present study, we developed chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated and folic acid (FA)-decorated silica nanoparticles (silica-Ce6-FA) for targeted delivery of photosensitizer to the cancer cells. The synthesized NPs exhibited excellent stability and biocompatibility with MDA-MB-231 cells. The formulated particles were efficiently taken up by folate receptor-positive MDA-MB-231 cells, which were confirmed by comparative analysis with folate receptor-negative HepG2 cells. The folate receptor-targeted silica-Ce6-FA was highly accumulated inside the MDA-MB-231 cells than free Ce6. The obtained NPs produced singlet oxygen efficiently under 670-nm laser exposure. The cell-killing effect of sIlleit-Ce6-FA was higher when compared with free Ce6 under PDT treatment. The PDT-induced mitochondrial damage and apoptotic cell death were detected in silica-Ce6-FA-treated cells.
