PurposeThe aim of current study was to use methylene blue-curcumin ion pair nanoparticles and single dyes as photosensitizer for comparison of photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, also various light sources effect on activation of photosensitizer (PS) was considered.MethodIon pair nanoparticles were synthesized using opposite charge ions precipitation and lyophilized. The PDT experiments were designed and the effect of PSs and light sources (Red LED (630nm; power density: 30mWcm−2) and blue LED (465nm; power density: 34mWcm−2)) on the human breast cancer cell line were examined. The effect of PS concentration (0–75μg.mL−1), incubation time, irradiation time and light sources, and priority in irradiation of blue or red lights were determined.ResultsThe results show that the ion pairing of methylene blue and curcumin enhance the photodynamic activity of both dyes and the cytotoxicity of ion pair nanoparticles on the MDA-231 breast cancer cell line. Blue and red LED light sources were used for photo activation of photosensitizers. The results demonstrated that both dyes can activate using red light LED better than blue light LED for singlet oxygen producing.ConclusionNano scale ion pair precipitating of methylene blue-curcumin was enhanced the cell penetrating and subsequently cytotoxicity of both dyes together.
