Abstract
Fe-based Fenton agents can generate highly reactive and toxic hydroxyl radicals(·OH)in the tumor mi-croenvironment(TME)for chemodynamic therapy(CDT)with high specificity.However,the low pH en-vironment and insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)of the highly efficient Fenton reaction limits its practical application in clinic.Here,a Cu(Ⅱ)-doped mesoporous silica nanoagent(Cu-MSN)with excellent dispersity was successfully developed.After loaded with doxorubicin(DOX)and ascorbate(AA),Cu-MSN@DA was coated with active targeting ligand folic acid(FA),dimethyl maleic an-hydride(DMMA)and carboxymethyl chitosan(CMC)to obtain an active transporting nanoagent(FCDC@Cu-MSN@DA)with tunable charge-reversal property,which is more adaptable to the pH value of TME than Fe-based Fenton agents,and can self-supply exogenous H2O2 by ascorbate to produce more toxic·OH to trigger the apop-tosis of cancer cells.Meanwhile,the high level of glutathione(GSH)in TME can reduce Cu(Ⅱ)to Cu(Ⅰ)by Fenton-like reaction,increasing the generation rate of·OH and relieving tumor antioxidant ability.The supply of exogenous H2O2 significantly enhanced the synergistic effect of CDT by oxidative damage.To-gether with DOX-induced cell apoptosis,this novel nanoagent FCDC@Cu-MSN@DA can achieve maximum therapeutic efficacy,creating a new model of safe and effective tumor treatment with high specificity.
