Therapy efficacy of NP–ZnPc(TAP)₄–Ptx, ZnPc(TAP)₄, and NP–ZnPc(TAP)₄.

Notes: (A) Tumor-bearing Kunming mice were illuminated daily for 7 days and tumor sizes measured every day. NP–ZnPc(TAP)₄–Ptx had enhanced antitumor effects over ZnPc(TAP)₄ and NP–ZnPc(TAP)₄. ***P<0.001. (B) Body weights of the mice were measured every day. During 7 days, the body weights were slightly elevated, with no significant differences among the four groups.

Abbreviations: NP, nanoparticle; ZnPc, zinc phthalocyanine; Ptx, paclitaxel.
