Background: Recently, the strategy of self-assembling dendritic drug-drug conjugates into supramolecular nanoprodrug was widely explored in biomedical applications. Herein, we construct a hypoxia-responsive core-cross-linked supramolecular nanoprodrug (CSN-IR806/CB) based on a dendritic drug-drug conjugate.
Methods: We prepared a hypoxia-responsive dendritic drug-drug conjugates IR806-(Azo-CB), which was combined with β-cyclodextrin-pendant poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(glutamic acid) block copolymer (PEG-PGlu-CD) to construct the core-cross-linked supramolecular nanoprodrug (CSN-IR806/CB) with enhanced physiological stability through the synergy of π-π stacking interaction, host-guest complexation, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interaction.
Results: The near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation of the CSN-IR806/CB treated tumor cells induced IR806-mediated PDT and PTT, and aggravated hypoxia, which triggered the disassembly of CSN-IR806/CB and the subsequent release of activated CB for synergetic cancer cell killing.
Conclusions: The CSN-IR806/CB can realize a synergistic triple therapeutic effect of photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemotherapy (CT; i.e., PTT-PDT-CT).

Prodrugs usually convert into active compounds within cells via endogenous or external stimuli to improve the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy, but this singular release profile often fails to meet the multifunctional needs of cancer therapeutics. In this study we proposed a strategy of "nanostructural conversion at nano-bio interface" and constructed a small-molecule nanoprodrug (APO-S-Cy7-TCF) for multifunctional anti-tumor phototheranostics. Upon exposure to redox biomolecules (ROS/GSH) in tumor microenvironment, the pristine nanostructure of APO-S-Cy7-TCF disassembled, releasing Cy7-TCF-OH and APO that interacted with heat shock proteins to initiate apoptosis.

A bilirubin supramolecular nanoprodrug (SCBR/TPZ) with enhanced cellular uptake towards the HepG2 cell line was constructed based on host-guest recognition, which provided an innovative strategy to design a hypoxia-responsive BR supramolecular nanoprodrug for lactose-targeted photothermal-chemotherapy (PTT-CT) with a synergistic effect towards HepG2.

Although antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as a promising natural drugs can efficiently inhibit cervical cancer, poor bioavailability, low tumor selectivity, and non-selective toxicity still hinder its further application in vivo. In order to effectively address these challenges, we have developed a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive targeting nanoprodrug designed for selective therapy of cervical cancer. Such nanoprodrugs (CEC-OxbCD) are fabricated by the supramolecular self-assembly of the modified β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and AMPs.
