Abstract

Precise control over spatiotemporal release of cancer therapeutics remains a significant challenge in developing effective combination therapies. Herein, we report a hydrogen peroxide (HO)-activatable unimolecular platform (ICy-Cb) that integrates cancer imaging and synchronized dual-modal therapy. An iodized hemicyanine photosensitizer and chlorambucil are integrated into a single molecular structure that selectively reacts to the high concentration of HO present in the tumor microenvironment. ICy-Cb initially exhibits no fluorescence and is therapeutically inert due to the suppression of its intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect. Upon exposure to tumor-associated HO, ICy-Cb simultaneously releases both therapeutic components, demonstrating exceptional tumor selectivity (5 to 8 folds higher activation in cancer cells), deep penetration in 3D tumor models (180 μm), and persistent tumor accumulation . Most importantly, this synchronized chemo-photodynamic agent achieves superior tumor growth inhibition (92%) compared to either monotherapy. This theranostic agent represents a significant advancement for precision cancer treatment by enabling spatiotemporally controlled combination therapy within the tumor microenvironment.

摘要

在开发有效的联合疗法中,精确控制癌症治疗药物的时空释放仍然是一项重大挑战。在此,我们报告了一种过氧化氢(HO)可激活的单分子平台(ICy-Cb),它集成了癌症成像和同步双模态治疗。一种碘化半菁光敏剂和苯丁酸氮芥被整合到一个单一分子结构中,该结构对肿瘤微环境中高浓度的HO有选择性反应。ICy-Cb最初不显示荧光,并且由于其分子内电荷转移(ICT)效应的抑制而在治疗上无活性。暴露于肿瘤相关的HO后,ICy-Cb同时释放两种治疗成分,表现出卓越的肿瘤选择性(在癌细胞中的激活程度高5至8倍),在三维肿瘤模型中具有深度穿透性(180μm),并且在肿瘤中持续积累。最重要的是,与单一疗法相比,这种同步化的化学-光动力药物实现了更优异的肿瘤生长抑制(92%)。这种诊疗药物通过在肿瘤微环境中实现时空可控的联合治疗,代表了精准癌症治疗的重大进展。
