Ferroptosis therapy (FT) based on the Fenton reaction of ferrous nanoparticles has been becoming a unique strategy for cancer treatment; however, current ferrous nanoparticles suffer from slower Fenton reaction kinetics, lower ferroptosis efficacy, and long-term toxicity, so it is urgent to construct biocompatible ferrous nanomaterials with highly efficient Fenton reaction activity for cancer FT. Inspired by single-atom catalysis and size-determined tumor penetration, we conceived an innovative strategy for constructing ultrasmall zwitterionic polypeptide-coordinated nanohybrids of PCGA@FeNP with about 6 nm by utilizing thiol/hydroxyl-iron cooperative coordination chemistry. The ultrasmall size, unsaturated ferrous coordination, and intracellular acidic pH could accelerate the Fenton reaction, thus boosting the efficacy of ferroptosis. Moreover, those coordinated nanohybrids exhibited prominent photothermia with 59.5% conversion efficiency, further accelerating the Fenton reaction and inducing a synergistic effect between FT and photothermal therapy (PTT). In vitro and in vivo GPX-4 expression ascertained that PCGA@FeNP indeed induced effective FT and synergistic FT-PTT. Remarkably, in vivo FT-PTT completely ablated 4T1 solid tumors by one treatment, presenting outstanding and synergistic antitumor efficacy via the photothermia-boosted ferroptosis and apoptosis pathways. This work supplies a practicable strategy to fabricate ultrasmall zwitterionic coordination nanohybrids for highly efficient cancer FT and FT-PTT theranostics with potential clinical transitions.
