PEGylation has been widely used to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of prodrug self-assembled nanoparticles (prodrug-SANPs). However, the impacts of the amount of PEG on the self-assemble stability, cellular uptake, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor efficacy of prodrug-SANPs are still unknown. Herein, selenoether bond bridged docetaxel dimeric prodrug was synthesized as the model prodrug.

Carrier-free prodrug-nanoassemblies have emerged as promising nanomedicines. In particular, the self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) composed of homodimeric prodrugs with ultrahigh drug loading have attracted broad attention. However, most homodimeric prodrugs show poor self-assembly ability due to their symmetric structures.

Microenvironment-responsive supramolecular assemblies have attracted great interest in the biomedical field due to their potential applications in controlled drug release. In this study, oxidation-responsive supramolecular polycationic assemblies named CPAs are prepared for nucleic acid delivery via the host-guest interaction of β-cyclodextrin based polycations and a ferrocene-functionalized zinc tetraaminophthalocyanine core. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) can accelerate the disassembly of CPA/pDNA complexes, which would facilitate the release of pDNA in the complexes and further benefit the subsequent transfection.

Disulfide bonds have been widely used to develop reduction-responsive drug-delivery systems (DDS) for cancer therapy. We propose that disulfide bonds might be also used as an oxidation-responsive linkage just like thioether bonds, which can be oxidized to hydrophilic sulfoxide or sulphone in the presence of oxidation stimuli. To test our hypothesis, we design three novel paclitaxel-citronellol conjugates linked via different lengths of disulfide-bond-containing carbon chain.
