Mitochondria targeted small molecule-mediated chemo-photodynamic therapy induces apoptosis in cancer cells

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the effects of mitochondria targeted therapy on inducing apoptosis in cancer cells.
• Utilized small molecules to specifically target mitochondria
• Applied chemo-photodynamic therapy techniques
• Evaluated apoptotic effects on cancer cell lines
• Mitochondria targeted therapy significantly increased apoptosis in cancer cells
• Enhanced bioenergetic disruption was observed
• The therapy showed potential for improved anti-cancer efficacy
