Selective activation of Pt(IV) prodrugs within tumors is particularly attractive because of their low damage to normal tissues. However, current common activation via chemical/photoreduction of Pt(IV) prodrugs into Pt(II) counterparts is limited by undesirable spatial–temporal control over this reduction process and the ineffective tissue penetration depth of undesirable light. Here, a pseudo-conjugated-polymer is designed via Stille polymerization, resulting in PSP-Pt with a Pt(IV) prodrug of oxaliplatin (Oxa(IV)) in the polymer main chain that can be activated by NIR-II light. PSP-Pt can co-assemble with a commercially available lipid polymer, namely mPEG2k-DSPE, into NPPSP-Pt. Under 1064 nm light irradiation, NPPSP-Pt can be photoactivated to accelerate the Pt(IV) reduction to release oxaliplatin, thereby killing the cancer cells by photothermal effect and chemo-immunotherapy inside a mouse model with CT26 colon cancer. This work reports the application of NIR-II light for accelerating Pt(IV) reduction for cancer tumor therapy.
