Chloroethylnitrosoureas (CENUs) are important chemotherapies applied in the treatment of cancer. They exert anticancer activity by inducing DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) via the formation of two -alkylguanine intermediates, -chloroethylguanine (-ClEtG) and 1,-ethanoguanine (1,-EtG). However, -alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT), a DNA-repair enzyme, can restore the -alkylguanine damages and thereby obstruct the formation of ICLs (dG-dC cross-link).

Glioma is extremely difficult to be completely excised by surgery due to its invasive nature. Thus, chemotherapy still is the mainstay in the treatment of glioma after surgery. However, the natural blood-brain barrier (BBB) greatly restricts the penetration of chemotherapeutic agents into the central nervous system.

Carmustine (BCNU), a vital type of chloroethylnitrosourea (CENU), inhibits tumor cells growth by inducing DNA damage at O position of guanine and eventually forming dG-dC interstrand cross-links (ICLs). However, the clinical application of BCNU is hindered to some extent by the absence of tumor selectivity, poor stability and O-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) mediated drug resistance. In recent years, tumor microenvironment has been widely utilized for advanced drug delivery.

Chloroethylnitrosoureas (CENUs) exert antitumor activity via producing dG-dC interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). However, tumor resistance make it necessary to find novel strategies to improve the therapeutic effect of CENUs. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) is a well-known glycolytic inhibitor, which can reprogram tumor energy metabolism closely related to tumor resistance.

In recurrent glioblastoma, Gliadel wafer implantation after surgery has been shown to result in incomplete chemical removal of residual tumor and development of brain edema. Furthermore, temozolomide (TMZ) resistance caused by O-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) activation and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression leads to immune-cold lesions that result in poorer prognosis. Cerebraca wafer, a biodegradable polymer containing (Z)--butylidenephthalide (BP), is designed to eliminate residual tumor after glioma resection.
