Capsaicin is a natural non-toxic small molecular organic substance, which is often used clinically to reduce inflammation and pain. Here, we report an acid-responsive CaCO nanoparticle loaded with capsaicin that can specifically activate TRPV1 channels and trigger tumor calcium ion therapy. The excellent acid responsiveness of calcium carbonate enables it to precisely target the tumor sites. The released capsaicin can specifically activate TRPV1 channel, overloading the intracellular calcium ion concentration and causing cell apoptosis, which provides a new safer and cheaper treatment. We proved that the naturalness and non-toxicity of capsaicin make the CaCO@CAP nanoparticles have excellent biocompatibility, which has good development prospects and clinical application potential.
辣椒素是一种天然无毒的小分子有机物质,临床上常被用于减轻炎症和疼痛。在这里,我们报告了一种酸响应的负载辣椒素的 CaCO3 纳米粒子,它可以特异性地激活 TRPV1 通道,并引发肿瘤钙离子治疗。碳酸钙的优异酸响应性使其能够精确靶向肿瘤部位。释放的辣椒素可以特异性地激活 TRPV1 通道,使细胞内钙离子浓度过载,导致细胞凋亡,为肿瘤治疗提供了一种新的、更安全、更廉价的治疗方法。我们证明了辣椒素的天然性和无毒特性使 CaCO@CAP 纳米粒子具有优异的生物相容性,具有良好的发展前景和临床应用潜力。
