Visible light-activatable Pt(iv) prodrugs harness the upregulated CD36 to facilitate cell entry and killing of drug resistant ovarian cancer cells.
Pt(IV) compounds mimic the structure of fatty acids and take advantage of CD36 as a "Trojan horse" to gain entry into the cells, and can be activated to form Pt(II) with characteristics of cisplatin under visible light irradiation.
