The development of activatable photosensitizers (aPSs) responding to tumor-specific biomarkers for precision photodynamic therapy (PDT) is urgently required. Due to the unique proteolytic activity and highly restricted distribution of tumor-specific enzymes, enzyme activatable photosensitizers display superior selectivity. Methods: Herein, a series of novel Fibroblast Activation Protein α (FAPα) activatable theranostic pro-photosensitizers were designed by conjugating the different N-terminal blocked FAPα-sensitive dipeptide substrates with a clinical PS, methylene blue (MB), through a self-immolative linker, which resulting in the annihilation of the photoactivity (fluorescence and phototoxicity). The best FAPα-responsive pro-photosensitizer was screened out through hydrolytic efficiency and blood stability. Subsequently, a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out to investigate the FAPα responsiveness and enhanced PDT efficacy. Results: The pro-photosensitizers could be effectively activated by tumor-specific FAPα in the tumor sites. After response to FAPα, the “uncaged” MB can recover its fluorescence and phototoxicity for tumor imaging and cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) generation, eventually achieving accurate imaging-guided PDT. Simultaneously, the generated azaquinone methide (AQM) could serve as a glutathione (GSH) scavenger to rapidly and irreversibly weaken intracellular antioxidant capacity, realizing synergistic oxidative stress amplification and enhanced PDT effect. Conclusion: This novel FAPα activatable theranostic pro-photosensitizers allow for accurate tumor imaging and admirable PDT efficacy with minimal systemic side effects, offering great potential in clinical precision antitumor application.
