The combination of multiple therapeutic modalities has attracted increasing attention as it can achieve better therapeutic effects through different treatment mechanisms. However, traditional small molecule agents are non-specific to the tumor tissue, which leads to off-target toxic effects for healthy tissues. To solve this problem, a number of stimuli-responsive nanoscale drug-delivery systems have been developed. Among these stimuli, a high concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) are characteristic of the tumor microenvironment (TME), which can distinguish it from normal tissue. In this review, we summarize the redox-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) reported in the past three years classified by different functional groups, including GSH-responsive disulfide, ditelluride, and multivalent metal ions, ROS-responsive thioketal, arylboronic ester, aminoacrylate, and bilirubin as well as GSH/ROS dual-responsive diselenide and dicarbonyl thioethers. The prospects and challenges of redox-responsive NPs are also discussed.
