Traditional Fenton-like reactions, commonly employed in chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for cancer treatment, face limitations due to the mildly acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) and scarce HO availability. Aiming to overcome these hurdles, we report herein the preparation of copper-cobalt peroxide (CCp) nanoparticles, a novel catalyst that enables a pH-activated, self-supplying HO-mediated cascade reaction. In the slightly acidic TME (pH 6.

Allostery is a phenomenon where the binding of a ligand at one allosteric site influences the affinity for another ligand at an active site. Different from orthosteric regulation, it allows for more precise control of biomolecular activity and enhances the stability of the molecules. Inspired by allosteric regulation of natural molecules, we present a Y-shaped allosteric DNA nanodevice, termed YssAP, that was pH-responsive and functionalized with the AS1411 aptamer for accurate fluorescence imaging of human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) activity in tumor cells.

Visualization of drug release is crucial for improving therapeutic efficacy and preventing inappropriate medication dosing, yet, challenging. Herein, we report a pH-activated chemo-immunotherapy nanoplatform with visualization of drug release by ratiometric F magnetic resonance imaging (F MRI). This nanoplatform consists of ultra-small histamine-modified perfluoro-15-crown-5-ether (PFCE) nanodroplets loaded with doxorubicin (Dox), which are packaged in trifluoromethyl-containing metal-organic assemblies coordination-driven self-assembly.

We have synthesized an acidic pH-activatable dual targeting ratiometric fluorescent probe-peptide conjugate using the SPPS protocol on Rink amide AM resin. Living carcinoma cell specific active targeting, successive cell penetration, and selective staining of lysosomes are accomplished. Real-time monitoring of lysosomes, 3D, and multicolor cancer cell imaging are also attained.
