The efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for breast tumors is hindered by challenges such as inadequate tumor targeting, limited treatment depth, and strong oxygen dependence. Herein, a promising photosensitizer VP-B was developed to simultaneously address all the aforementioned issues for the treatment of hypoxic deep-seated breast tumors. The biotinylated photosensitizer VP-B not only exhibited precise targeting towards breast tumor tissue, but also efficiently triggered the generation of abundant 1O2 and O2−• under 690 nm red light irradiation. Indeed, the red light penetration ability enabled VP-B to achieve successful application in a mouse orthotopic breast tumor model. After intravenous administration, VP-B can selectively target tumor tissues and significantly inhibit the growth of hypoxic deep-seated tumors. Therefore, this new type Ⅰ & Ⅱ photosensitizer could boost fluorescence-guided photodynamic therapy of other hypoxic solid tumors.
