    Abstract: A composition for photodynamic therapy or diagnosis includes a photosensitizer-metallic nanosheet complex. In a case of using a folic acid-loaded metallic nanosheet, a poorly-soluble photosensitizer may be effectively loaded, thus to increase solubility and the photosensitizer may not be degraded in blood during in vivo administration but may maintain stability, thereby inhibiting imprudent release of the photosensitizer. Further, the nanosheet entered into the cancer cells may be substantially completely degraded by glutathione (GSH) present at a high concentration in the cancer cells. Therefore, it is expected that using the photosensitizer-metallic nanosheet complex may drastically reduce a dose of an anticancer agent while having little side effects and may enable effective treatment, thereby achieving a novel concept in anticancer therapeutic effects.
