The prosperity of chemodynamic therapy provides a new strategy for tumor treatment. However, the lack of reactive oxygen species and the specific reductive tumor microenvironment have limited the further development of chemodynamic therapy. Herein, we reported a Fe-based cyclically catalyzing double free radical system for tumor therapy by catalyzing exogenous potassium persulfate (KSO) and endogenous hydrogen peroxide (HO). Sufficient amounts of Fe and SO were delivered to tumor sites tumor-targeted hyaluronic acid (HA) encapsulated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and released under the dual stimulation of acid and hyaluronidase (HAase) in the tumor microenvironment. Fe was reduced to Fe by the reducing agents of loaded tannic acid (TA) and intracellular glutathione (GSH), and Fe was subsequently reacted with SO and endogenous HO to produce two types of ROS (˙OH and SO˙), showing an excellent anti-tumor effect. This process not only supplied Fe for the catalysis of active substances, but also reduced the concentration of reduced substances in cells, which was conducive to the existence of free radicals for the efficient killing of tumor cells. Therefore, this iron-based catalysis of exogenous and exogenous active substances to realize a dual-radical oncotherapy nanosystem would provide a new perspective for chemodynamic therapy.

Cuproptosis is a newly discovered mode of cell death, which is caused by excess copper and results in cell death via the mitochondrial pathway. However, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by many factors, including high levels of glutathione and lack O, limit the application of traditional cuproptosis agents in antitumor therapy. Herein, we report a hyaluronic acid modified copper-manganese composite nanomedicine (CMCNs@HA) to remodel the TME and facilitate efficient cuproptosis in tumor.

Background: Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer, and single-modality treatments often fail to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. Combination therapy has emerged as an effective approach to improve treatment outcomes.
Methods: In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform, MIL@DOX@ICG, utilizing MIL-101-NH(Fe) as a carrier to co-deliver the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG).

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging antitumor strategy utilizing iron-initiated Fenton reaction to destroy tumor cells by converting endogenous HO into highly toxic hydroxyl radical (OH). However, the intratumoral overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and deficient acid greatly reduce CDT efficacy because of OH scavenging and decreased OH production efficiency. Even worse, the various physiological barriers, especially in glioma, further put the brakes on the targeted delivery of Fenton agents.

Synergistic therapy combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has proven to be a highly effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, PTT heavily relies on the accumulation of therapeutic agents at the tumor site. The peroxidase (POD) activity of common catalysts can be rapidly exhausted during the accumulation process, prior to laser intervention, thereby diminishing the synergistic enhancement effect of the combined therapy.

As one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice, cisplatin is unable to selectively accumulate in tumor tissue due to its lack of targeting ability, leading to increased systemic toxicities. Additionally, the effectiveness of monotherapy is greatly limited. Therefore, the development of new cisplatin-based drug delivery systems is essential to improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment.
