Photodynamic and photothermal synergistic behavior of triphenylamine-porphyrin nanoparticles for DNA interaction, cellular cytotoxicity and localization.In this paper, amphiphilic conjugated triphenylamine-porphyrins TPA-Por-TPA and TPA-Por were designed and synthesized.  The photothermal conversion efficiencies of the TPA-Por-TPA NPs and TPA-Por NPs were measured and calculated to be 34.89% and 37.99%, respectively.  These properties make it possible for triphenylamine porphyrin NPs to become photosensitizers for the photodynamic and photothermal synergistic treatment of tumors, and have potential prospects for applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
