The generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) using photodynamic therapy (PDT) is limited by the hypoxia of the tumor microenvironment and the depth of external light penetration because it depends on the precise cooperation between the photosensitizers, oxygen, and light. Herein, we report a self-sufficient 1O2 nanoreactor with enhanced penetration into deep tumors for cancer therapy. Linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LAHP) is coordinated with transition metal ions (Cu2+/Fe3+) to prepare linoleic acid hydroperoxide metal complex nanoparticles (LAHP-M NPs). iRGD combined with R7 decoration endows the nanoparticles with tumor targeting and penetration ability. We show that the polypeptide carries the nanoparticles into deep tumors, and thereafter the nanoparticles are disassembled into LAHP and catalytical metal ions to produce 1O2 based on the Russell mechanism under the stimulation of acidic pH. The elevated ROS induces necrotic cell death in vitro and in vivo, and further causes immunogenic cell death (ICD). This study demonstrates the effectiveness of exploiting biochemical reactions as a spatial-temporal strategy to overcome the current limitations of photodynamic therapy.
