Abstract:

The development of smart nanoassemblies self-assembled from well-controlled block copolymers undergoing chemical transition through stimuli-responsive degradation (SRD) has been extensively explored as an effective platform for tumor-targeting intracellular drug delivery. Given our significant efforts to synthesize various reduction-responsive systems utilizing disulfide chemistry, our group has recently focused on the development of an effective SRD strategy that centers on the design of new intracellular nanocarriers exhibiting dual stimuli responses at dual locations (micellar cores and core/corona interfaces). With the focus on cellular endosomal/lysosomal pH = 4.5-5.5 and a tripeptide glutathione, our approach called dual location dual acid/glutathione-responsive degradation (DL-DSRD) offers the versatility in that dual responses to each stimulus can independently regulate the release of encapsulated molecules, and can facilitate synergistic/accelerated release at dual locations.
