Modular Prodrug-Engineered Oxygen Nano-Tank With Outstanding Nanoassembly Performance, High Oxygen Loading, and Closed-Loop Tumor Hypoxia Relief.
Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)(2024)
Abstract
The clinical translation of tumor hypoxia intervention modalities still falls short of expectation, restricted by poor biocompatibility of oxygen-carrying materials, unsatisfactory oxygen loading performance, and abnormally high cellular oxygen consumption-caused insufficient hypoxia relief. Herein, a carrier-free oxygen nano-tank based on modular fluorination prodrug design and co-assembly nanotechnology is elaborately exploited, which is facilely fabricated through the molecular nanoassembly of a fluorinated prodrug (FSSP) of pyropheophorbide a (PPa) and an oxygen consumption inhibitor (atovaquone, ATO). The nano-tank adeptly achieves sufficient oxygen enrichment while simultaneously suppressing oxygen consumption within tumors for complete tumor hypoxia alleviation. Significant, the fluorination module in FSSP not only confers favorable co-assemblage of FSSP and ATO, but also empowers the nanoassembly to readily carry oxygen. As expected, it displays excellent oxygen carrying capacity, favorable pharmacokinetics, on-demand laser-triggerable ATO release, closed-loop tumor hypoxia relief, and significant enhancement to PPa-mediated PDT in vitro and in vivo. This study provides a novel nanotherapeutic paradigm for tumor hypoxia intervention-enhanced cancer therapy.
