摘要
Drug-based supramolecular self-assembling delivery systems have enhanced the bioavailability of chemotherapeutic drugs and reduced systemic side effects; however, improving the delivery efficiency and responsive release ability of these systems remains challenging. This study focuses primarily on the utilization of per-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (CD) to link a significant quantity of paclitaxel (PTX) via ROS-sensitive thioketal (TK) linkages (designated as CDTP), thereby allowing efficiently drug release when exposed to high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment. To construct these supramolecular nanoparticles (NPs) with CDTP, we introduced PEGylated ferrocene (Fc) through host-guest interactions. The intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is converted into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) through the Fc-catalyzed Fenton reaction. Additionally, the generated Fc+ consumes the antioxidant glutathione (GSH). In both in vivo and in vitro experiments, CDTP@Fc-PEG NPs were absorbed effectively by tumor cells, which increased levels of ROS and decreased levels of GSH, disrupting the redox balance of cancer cells and increasing their sensitivity to chemotherapy. Furthermore, CDTP@Fc-PEG NPs exhibited high tumor accumulation and cytotoxicity without causing significant toxicity to healthy organs. Collectively, our results suggest CDTP@Fc-PEG NPs as a promising supramolecular nano-delivery platform for high drug-loading of PTX and synergistic chemotherapy.
