S generated by the reaction of DATS with GSH can produce a gas therapy (GT) effect. The active targeting effect of cRGD-PEG increases UMDP accumulation at the tumor site. The key advantage of UMDP lies in breakthrough tissue penetration depth and the mutually reinforcing therapy mechanisms, which overcome the bottleneck of traditional PDT and provide a novel strategy for enhancing the PDT/GT synergistic effect of deep-seated tumors.
