Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) are capable of fluorescence emission as well as photothermal and photodynamic actions, resulting from their near-infrared (NIR) absorptions corresponding to their S-11 and S-22 transitions. Here, we show that one chiral s-SWNTs, (6,4)-SWNTs, photogenerates all three of the major reactive oxygen species, i.e., singlet oxygen (O-1(2)), superoxide anion (O-2 center dot(-)), and hydroxyl radical (center dot OH), in a sustainable manner. Its efficiency for center dot OH generation is dramatically higher than those of the other two chiral s-SWNTs tested, as well as a clinical NIR dye. This sustained and relatively high photodynamic effect in (6,4)-SWNTs is due to their extraordinary high photostability and relatively high generation efficiency of their triplet excited state. In the colloidal stabilization of (6,4)-SWNTs under physiological conditions, a serum protein consisting of a tandem repeat of amphiphilic cchelices is found to be useful for dispersion. The protein-coated (6,4)-SWNTs are capable of effectively ablating cancer cells and disintegrating amyloid beta peptide aggregates through sustained photodynamic action. (C) 2020 The Authors.
