ABSTRACT
Small molecule prodrugs self-assembled nano-delivery systems with tumor responsive linkages are emerging as an effective platform. However, the heterogeneity of tumor microenvironment may limit the anti-tumor effect of prodrug nanomedicines with a single response module. Here, we chose disulfide bond as the response module and branched chain alcohol as the self-assembly modification module to construct a single-responsive prodrug. We also constructed a double-responsive paclitaxel prodrug combining triglyceride and disulfide bond, taking into account of the highly expressed lipase and glutathione levels in tumor cells. The results showed that the anti-tumor effect of single-responsive branched chain alcohol modified prodrug nanoparticles was inferior to triglyceride prodrug nanoparticles with dual response modules. The triglyceride structure can not only serve as a self-assembly modification module, but also serve as a response module for intelligent drug release in tumor. Such dual roles will facilitate the efficient delivery of small molecule self-assembled prodrugs to tumor sites.
