Article Abstract

We report here a supramolecular strategy to assemble a cyclodextrin-functionalized anticancer Ru(ii) complex with an adamantane-appended tumor-targeting peptide into discrete and stable phosphorescent nanostructures that can induce cell death in integrin αβ-rich tumor cells with high selectivity. This strategy presents new opportunities for the construction of tumor-targeting metallo-anticancer therapeutics.

Combination therapy that promotes both apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) holds promise for enhanced tumor treatment, yet its effectiveness is often hindered by challenges including inadequate targeted delivery, intricate nanoformulations processes, and cost inefficiency. Here, we present novel tumor-targeted, stimuli-responsive nanomicelles (D@CGO-G) through a straightforward supramolecular self-assembly method, incorporating targeting peptide GE11, doxorubicin (DOX), and a labile carrageenan (CG) linkage. Mechanistic insights into nanomicelles assembly process are thoroughly investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on supramolecular assembly has been receiving wide attention due to its great potential application in clinical treatment. Herein, we report a supramolecular photoelectron "reservoir" (SPR) constructed by tetracationic boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based macrocycle (4Cl), doxorubicin (Dox), and tumor-targeted β-cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HACD). Upon irradiation, 4Cl can in situ catalyze nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to continuously generate electrons to inject into SPR, which further transfers electrons to oxygen, inducing highly efficient hydroxyl radical generation even under hypoxia.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) significantly influence the clinical outcomes of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Strategies aimed at reprogramming TAMs from the immunosuppressive M2 phenotype to the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype hold promise for enhancing ICB efficacy. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a potent Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) ligand, can reprogram TAMs toward an M1 phenotype.

Owing to their attractive antitumor effects, aminated fullerene derivatives are emerging as promising therapeutic drugs for cancer. However, their in vivo applications are severely limited due to cation toxicity. To address this problem, human heavy chain ferritin (HFn), possessing natural biocompatibility is utilized, to develop a novel supramolecular assembly drug delivery system.

The integration of theranostics, which combines diagnostics with therapeutics, has markedly improved the early detection of diseases, precise medication management, and assessment of treatment outcomes. In the realm of oncology, organoplatinum-based supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) that can coload therapeutic agents and imaging molecules have emerged as promising candidates for multimodal theranostics of tumors. To address the challenges of tumor-targeted delivery and multimodal theranostics for SCCs, this study employs a cell membrane cloaking strategy to fabricate biomimetic metallacage nanoparticles (MCNPs) with multimodal imaging capabilities and homologous targeting capabilities.
