Reactive nitrogen species (RNS)-based therapy is promising for cancer treatment, but codelivery of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anions (O) is hindered by their short lifetimes and uncontrolled release. In this paper, we present a light-activated supramolecular theranostic system integrating NO release with chemodynamic therapy (CDT). β-Cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HA-CD) and a photoresponsive NO donor (Fc-NAp-NO) self-assemble into nanocarriers, further loaded with ascorbyl palmitate (PA) to supply HO. Upon irradiation, precise NO release and fluorescence imaging occur, while CDT yields OH and O. The O rapidly reacts with NO to generate cytotoxic peroxynitrite (ONOO), amplifying RNS/ROS damage. This platform prevents achieved spatiotemporal control NO release, imaging-guided and cascade-enhanced tumor therapy.

Achieving precise intratumoral accumulation and coordinated activation remains a major challenge in nanomedicine. Photothermal therapy (PTT) provides spatiotemporal control, yet its efficacy is hindered by heterogeneous distribution of PTT agents and limited synergy with other modalities. Here, we develop a dual-activation nanoplatform (IrO-P) that integrates exogenous photothermal stimulation with endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive catalysis for synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and ferroptosis induction.

Harnessing the significant buildup of lactic acid (LA) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for metabolic manipulation presents a promising avenue for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, single-agent therapies often fail to address the complex and varying needs of TME heterogeneity, posing a substantial scientific hurdle in oncology. In this context, we employ asymmetric mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AMS NPs) as delivery vehicles, simultaneously loading them with zinc‑cobalt‑manganese ferrite nanoparticles (ZCMF NPs), lactate oxidase (LOX), and doxorubicin (DOX).

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), leveraging Fenton reactions to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from intracellular hydrogen peroxide (HO), offers a promising cancer treatment strategy due to its high specificity and low systemic toxicity. However, the targeted delivery of •OH-producing prodrugs using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a mitochondria-targeted COF-based nano prodrug, COF-31@P, designed for enhanced CDT efficacy.

The effect of sonocatalysis on anticancer treatment is always restricted by rapid recombination of charge and low utilization of the ultrasonic cavitation effect. Herein, cobalt-doped prussian blue (PB) nanocubes were synthesized, and then they were etched by acidic solution to obtain amorphous Co-FePB@1h with abundant defects including: Fe/Co defects, Fe-(CN) vacancies, and dangling bonds. Both doping and defect engineering contribute to decreasing the band gap and promoting charge separation.

While reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) hold promise for cancer treatment, their efficacy remains constrained by tumor microenvironment (TME) barriers: glutathione (GSH) overexpression, insufficient HO supply, and hypoxia. To address these limitations, we engineered a Trojan horse-inspired MnO-shelled CaO nanoreactor (CaO/MnO-Ce6-PEG) by employing a sequential TME reprogramming strategy, triggering a cascading ROS storm for enhanced CDT and PDT. The outer MnO layer first depletes GSH through redox conversion, exposing the CaO core hydrolysis, and subsequently providing HO for CDT and O for ameliorating hypoxia to boost Ce6-mediated PDT.
