Structure–Activity Relationship of pH-Sensitive Doxorubicin-Fatty Acid Prodrug Albumin Nanoparticles

pharmacokinetics, tumor accumulation and antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, the hydrazone bond-bridged DOX prodrugs could remain intact in the bloodstream but allow DOX to be released in the acidic tumor environment, resulting in improved antitumor efficacy and safety. Our work gives novel insights into the structure-to-efficacy relationship of albumin-bound fatty acid prodrugs and provides a simple strategy for advanced albumin-bound nanomedicines.
