【ABSTRACT】
Although environment-sensitive prodrug-based nanoparticles (NPs) have developed rapidly, lots of prodrug NPs still show poor selectivity and efficiency of parent drug bioactivation because of tumor heterogeneity. Herein, self-strengthened bioactivating prodrug-based NPs are fabricated via co-encapsulation of oxidation-responsive thioether-linked linoleic acid-paclitaxel conjugates (PTX-S-LA) and β-lapachone (LPC) into polymeric micelles (PMs). Following cellular uptake, PMs first release LPC to significantly elevate the reactive oxidative species (ROS) level through NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO1) catalysis. Then, NQO1-generated ROS in combination with endogenous high ROS levels in tumor cells could synergistically facilitate PTX-S-LA to release the active cytotoxic agent PTX. Such a novel prodrug nanosystem exhibits selfstrengthened prodrug bioactivation, ultraselective release, and cytotoxicity between cancer and normal cells, prolonged circulation time, and enhanced tumor accumulation, leading to high antitumor efficiency and superior biosafety. Our findings pave the new way for the rational design of oxidation-responsive prodrug NPs for high-efficacy cancer chemotherapy.

(B) Prodrug-based nanosystem would accumulate in cancer owing to the EPR effect; following cellular uptake, nanosystem release LPC first, remarkably raising the oxidative stress level via the catalysis of tumor-overexpressing NQO1, inducing a sequential and synergistically facilitated release of PTX from PTX-S-LA.
