Abstract

The study aimed to develop a combined technology of plasmonic photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in rats with transplanted cholangiocarcinoma РС-1. For PDT, indocyanine green was diluted in polyethylene glycol (PEG) at a ratio of 1:100 and intratumorally injected at a dose of 2 mg/kg. The maximum absorption wavelength of the ICG solution was 790 nm. For PTT, a suspension of PEG-coated gold nanorods (GNR) at a concentration of 400 μg/ml was injected intratumorally into 30% of the tumor volume. The aspect ratio of the GNR was about 4:1, so the plasmon resonance was observed in the spectral range of 800–820 nm. One hour after injections, the tumor was irradiated percutaneously with an 808 nm diode infrared laser at a power density of 2.3 W/cm2 for 15 min. The change in diffuse reflectance spectra of the area under the irradiation as a result of PDT, PTT and combined PDT/PTT of a model rat tumor was investigated. The work was supported by RSF grant No. 23-14-00287.
