Abstract Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) utilizes iron‐initiated Fenton chemistry to destroy tumor cells by converting endogenous H 2 O into the highly toxic hydroxyl radical ( . OH). There is a paucity of Fenton‐like metal‐based CDT agents. Intracellular glutathione (GSH) with OH scavenging ability greatly reduces efficacy. A self‐reinforcing nanoagent based on MnO reported that has both Mn 2+ delivery and GSH depletion properties. In presence HCO 3 − , which abundant in physiological medium,...
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) employs Fenton catalysts to kill cancer cells by converting intracellular H2O2 into hydroxyl radical (•OH), but endogenous is insufficient achieve satisfactory anticancer efficacy. Despite tremendous efforts, engineering CDT agents with specific and efficient self-supplying ability remains a great challenge.

Engineering functional nanomaterials with high therapeutic efficacy and minimum side effects has increasingly become a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Herein, reactive oxygen species (ROS) enhanced combination chemotherapy platform is designed via biocompatible metal-polyphenol networks self-assembly process by encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) platinum prodrugs in nanoparticles. Both DOX drugs can activate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidases, generating superoxide...
Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐induced apoptosis is a widely practiced strategy for cancer therapy. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) takes advantage of the spatial–temporal control ROS generation, meticulous participation light, photosensitizer, and greatly hinders broad application PDT as first‐line treatment option. An activatable system has been developed that enables tumor‐specific singlet ( 1 O 2 ) generation therapy, based on Fenton‐like reaction between linoleic acid...
We report a hybrid reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-loaded ultrasmall plasmonic gold nanorod vesicle (rGO-AuNRVe) (∼65 nm in size) with remarkably amplified photoacoustic (PA) performance and photothermal effects. The also exhibits high loading capacity of doxorubicin (DOX), as both the cavity large surface area encapsulated rGO can be used for DOX, making it an excellent drug carrier. loaded DOX is released sequentially: near-infrared heating induces release from vesicular cavity, intracellular...
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) elicited by photodynamic therapy (PDT) is mediated through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the half-life ROS very short and intracellular diffusion depth limited, which impairs ER localization thus limits stress induction. To solve problem, we synthesized reduction-sensitive Ds-sP NPs (PEG-s-s-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[amino(polyethylene glycol)-2000] nanoparticles)...
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has the advantages of high penetration, non-invasiveness, and controllability, it is suitable for deep-seated tumors. However, there still a lack effective sonosensitizers with sensitivity, safety, penetration. Now, ultrasound (US) glutathione (GSH) dual responsive vesicles Janus Au-MnO nanoparticles (JNPs) were coated PEG ROS-sensitive polymer. Upon US irradiation, disassembled into small (NPs) promoted penetration ability. Subsequently, GSH-triggered MnO...
A new kind of ultrasmall dissociable AuNR@PEG/PLGA vesicles (≈60 nm) (AuNR = gold nanorod; PEG poly(ethylene glycol); PLGA poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)) assembled from small AuNRs (dimension: ≈8 nm × 2 is reported. They exhibit several striking features: prolonged circulation and prominent tumor accumulation; rapid excretion the body as AuNR@PEG after therapy; enhanced photoacoustic photo thermal properties; high photothermal cancer therapy efficacy.
The recently emerged exceedingly small magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (ES-MIONs) (<5 nm) are promising T1-weighted contrast agents for resonance imaging (MRI) due to their good biocompatibility compared with Gd-chelates. However, the best particle size of ES-MIONs T1 is still unknown because synthesis precise control clarify relationship between r1 (or r2/r1) and remains a challenge. In this study, we synthesized seven different sizes below 5 nm found that 3.6 be utilized as MR agent. To...

Abstract The design of bright NIR‐II luminescent nanomaterials that enable efficient labelling proteins without disturbing their physiological properties in vivo is challenging. We developed an strategy to synthesize gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) protected by biocompatible cyclodextrin (CD). Leveraging the ultrasmall size Au NCs (<2 nm) and strong macrocycle‐based host–guest chemistry, as‐synthesized CD‐Au can readily label proteins/antibodies. Moreover, labelled proteins/antibodies highly...
