Abstract
Worldwide cancer statistics have indicated about 20 million new cancer cases and over 10 million deaths in 2022 (according to data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer). One of the leading cancer treatment strategies is chemotherapy, using innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs). Self-immolative domino dendrimers (SIDendr) for triggered anti-cancer drugs appear to be a promising type of DDSs. The present review provides an up-to-date survey on the contemporary advancements in the field of SIDendr-based anti-cancer drug delivery systems (SIDendr-ac-DDSs) through an exhaustive analysis of the discovery and application of these materials in improving the pharmacological effectiveness of both novel and old drugs. In addition, this article discusses the designing, chemical structure, and targeting techniques, as well as the properties, of several SIDendr-based DDSs. Approaches for this type of targeted DDSs for anti-cancer drug release under a range of stimuli are also explored.

Abstract
The precisely spatial-temporal delivery of heterogeneous payloads from a single system with the same pulse is in great demand in realizing versatile and synergistic functions. Very few molecular architectures can satisfy the strict requirements of dual-release translated from single triggers, while the self-immolative systems based on dynamic covalent bonds represent the "state-of-art" of ultimate solution strategy. Embedding heterogeneous payloads symmetrically onto the self-immolative backbone with dynamic covalent bonds as the trigger, can respond to the quasi-bio-orthogonal hallmarks which are higher at the disease's microenvironment to simultaneously yield the heterogeneous payloads (drug A/drug B or drug/reporter). In this review, the modular design principles are concentrated to illustrate the rules in tailoring useful structures, then the rational applications are enumerated on the aspects of drug codelivery and visualized drug-delivery. This review, hopefully, can give the general readers a comprehensive understanding of the self-immolative systems based on dynamic covalent bonds for delivering heterogeneous payloads.

Abstract
The field of biodegradable synthetic polymers, which is central for regenerative engineering and drug delivery applications, encompasses a multitude of hydrolytically sensitive macromolecular structures and diverse processing approaches. The ideal degradation behavior for a specific life science application must comply with a set of requirements, which include a clinically relevant kinetic profile, adequate biocompatibility, benign degradation products, and controlled structural evolution. Although significant advances have been made in tailoring materials characteristics to satisfy these requirements, the impacts of autocatalytic reactions and microenvironments are often overlooked resulting in uncontrollable and unpredictable outcomes. Therefore, roles of surface versus bulk erosion, in situ microenvironment, and autocatalytic mechanisms should be understood to enable rational design of degradable systems. In an attempt to individually evaluate the physical state and form factors influencing autocatalytic hydrolysis of degradable polymers, this Review follows a hierarchical analysis that starts with hydrolytic degradation of water-soluble polymers before building up to 2D-like materials, such as ultrathin coatings and capsules, and then to solid-state degradation. We argue that chemical reactivity largely governs solution degradation while diffusivity and geometry control the degradation of bulk materials, with thin "2D" materials remaining largely unexplored. Following this classification, this Review explores techniques to analyze degradation in vitro and in vivo and summarizes recent advances toward understanding degradation behavior for traditional and innovative polymer systems. Finally, we highlight challenges encountered in analytical methodology and standardization of results and provide perspective on the future trends in the development of biodegradable polymers.

Abstract
We have recently developed an enzyme-directed immunostimulant (EDI) prodrug motif, which is metabolized to active immunostimulant by cancer cells and, following drug efflux, activates nearby immune cells, resulting in immunogenicity. In this study, we synthesized several EDI prodrugs featuring an imidazoquinoline immunostimulant resiquimod (a Toll-like receptor 7/8 agonist) covalently modified with glycosidase enzyme-directing groups selected from substrates of β-glucuronidase, α-mannosidase, or β-galactosidase. We compared the glycosidase-dependent immunogenicity elicited by each EDI in RAW-Blue macrophages following conversion to active immunostimulant by complementary glycosidase. At a cellular level, we examined EDI metabolism across three cancer cell lines (B16 melanoma, TC2 prostate, and 4T1 breast cancer). Comparing the relative immunogenicity elicited by each EDI/cancer cell combination, we found that B16 cells produced the highest EDI prodrug immunogenicity, achieving >95% of that elicited by unmodified resiquimod, followed by TC2 and 4T1 cells (40% and 30%, respectively). Immunogenicity elicited was comparable for a given cell type and independent of the glycosidase substrate in the EDIs or differences in functional glycosidase activity between cell lines. Measuring drug efflux of the immunostimulant payload and efflux protein expression revealed that EDI/cancer cell-mediated immunogenicity was governed by efflux potential of the cancer cells. We determined that, following EDI conversion, immunostimulant efflux occurred through both P-glycoprotein-dependent and P-glycoprotein-independent transport mechanisms. Overall, this study highlights the broad ability of EDIs to couple immunogenicity to the metabolism of many cancers that exhibit drug efflux and suggests that designing future generations of EDIs with immunostimulant payloads that are optimized for drug efflux could be particularly beneficial.

Abstract
A prodrug based on a known antibacterial compound is reported to target Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli under reductive conditions. The prodrug was prepared by masking the N-terminus and side chain amines of a component lysine residue as 4-nitrobenzyl carbamates. Activation to liberate the antibacterial was demonstrated on treatment with a model reductant, tin(II) chloride. The bioactivity of 1 was confirmed in antibacterial susceptibility assays whereas prodrug 2 was inactive.

Abstract
Preparation of an unzipping polyester is reported. The monomer was prepared from benzoic acid in a four-step sequence. Step growth polymerization of the monomer provides the target polymer. Efficient depolymerization upon irradiation at 254 nm was confirmed with a quantum yield of >0.8. The photolysis mechanism was investigated, and the results of radical trapping experiments are consistent with an initial Norrish type I like homolysis followed by a radical mediated depropagation reaction driven by aromatization.

Abstract
A self-immolative dendritic structure was synthesized. It is based on phenol derivatives with three hydroxymethyl arms at both ortho and para positions of the core unit, potentially releasing up to 27 leaving groups in a third-generation dendrimer. The triggering event is the photolysis of a photosentive ortho-nitrobenzyl group. In doing so, we expected to transform a weak chemical or photochemical input into a large chemical output, which fulfills the definition of a molecular amplifier. Such dendrimers could find application as an indicator, a drug-delivery vector, or a solubilizing agent. The prepared dendrimer indeed released up to 27 leaving groups upon photolysis at 360 nm.

Abstract
Incorporating labile bonds inside polymer backbone and side chains yields interesting polymer materials that are responsive to change of environmental stimuli. Drugs can be conjugated to various polymers through different conjugation linkages and spacers. One of the key factors influencing the release profile of conjugated drugs is the hydrolytic stability of the conjugated linkage. Generally, the hydrolysis of acid-labile linkages, including acetal, imine, hydrazone, and to some extent β-thiopropionate, are relatively fast and the conjugated drug can be completely released in the range of several hours to a few days. The cleavage of ester linkages are usually slow, which is beneficial for continuous and prolonged release. Another key structural factor is the water solubility of polymer-drug conjugates. Generally, the release rate from highly water-soluble prodrugs is fast. In prodrugs with large hydrophobic segments, the hydrophobic drugs are usually located in the hydrophobic core of micelles and nanoparticles, which limits the access to the water, hence lowering significantly the hydrolysis rate. Finally, self-immolative polymers are also an intriguing new class of materials. New synthetic pathways are needed to overcome the fact that much of the small molecules produced upon degradation are not active molecules useful for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The main drawback of the anticancer chemotherapy consists in the lack of drug selectivity causing severe side effects. The targeted drug delivery appears to be a very promising strategy for controlling the biodistribution of the cytotoxic agent only on malignant tissues by linking it to tumor-targeting moiety. Here we exploit the natural characteristics of Shiga toxin B sub-unit (STxB) as targeting carrier on Gb3-positive cancer cells. Two cytotoxic conjugates STxB-doxorubicin (STxB-Doxo) and STxB-monomethyl auristatin F (STxB-MMAF) were synthesised using copper-free 'click' chemistry. Both conjugates were obtained in very high yield and demonstrated strong tumor inhibition activity in a nanomolar range on Gb3-positive cells.

Abstract
Self-immolative spacers are covalent assemblies tailored to correlate the cleavage of two chemical bonds after activation of a protective part in a precursor: Upon stimulation, the protective moiety is removed, which generates a cascade of disassembling reactions leading to the temporally sequential release of smaller molecules. Originally introduced to overcome limitations for drug delivery, self-immolative spacers have gained wide interest in medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, and material science. For most applications, the kinetics of the disassembly of the activated self-immolative spacer governs functional properties. This Review addresses kinetic aspects of self-immolation. It provides information for selecting a particular self-immolative motif for a specific demand. Moreover, it should help researchers design kinetic experiments and fully exploit the rich perspectives of self-immolative spacers.

Abstract
Over the last 30 years, the quinone-methide elimination has served as a valuable tool for achieving various important molecular functions. Molecular adaptors based on quinone-methide or aza-quinone-methide reactivity have been designed, synthesized, and used in diagnostic probes, molecular amplifiers, drug delivery systems, and self-immolative dendritic/polymeric molecular systems. These unique adaptors function as stable spacers between an enzyme- or reagent-responsive group and a reporter moiety and can undergo 1,4-, 1,6-, or 1,8-type elimination reactions upon cleavage of the triggering group. Such reactivity results in the release of the reporter group through formation of a quinone-methide species. This type of elimination was applied to design distinct molecular adaptors capable of multiple quinone-methide eliminations. Using this chemistry, we have developed unique molecular structures that are known today as self-immolative dendrimers. These dendrimers disassemble upon a single triggering event in a domino-like manner from the focal point to their periphery with the consequent release of multiple end-groups. Such molecular structures are used in self-immolative dendritic prodrugs and in diagnostic probes to obtain a significant amplification effect. To further enhance amplification, we have developed the dendritic chain reaction, which uses simple molecules to achieve functionality of high-generation virtual self-immolative dendrimers. In addition, we harnessed the quinone-methide elimination reactivity to design polymers that disassemble from head-to-tail initiated by an analyte-responsive event. Following this example, other chemical reactivities were demonstrated by scientists to design such polymeric molecules. In a manner analogous to the quinone-methide elimination, electron rearrangement can lead to formation of conjugated quinone-methide-type dyes with long-wavelength emission of fluorescence. We have recently applied an intramolecular charge transfer to form a unique kind of quinone-methide type derivative based on a donor-two-acceptors molecular structure. This intramolecular charge transfer produces a new fluorochrome with an extended conjugation of π-electron system that is used for the design of long-wavelength fluorogenic probes with a turn-ON option. The rapidly expanding use of quinone-methide species, reflected in the increased number of examples reported in the literature, indicates the importance of this tool in chemistry. These species provide a useful gateway to functional molecular structures with distinct reactivities and spectroscopic characteristics.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Activation of the developmental hedgehog (Hh) pathway is observed in GBM, particularly in the so-called glioma stem cells (GSCs). An inhibitor of this pathway is the steroidal alkaloid cyclopamine, an antagonist of the Hh coreceptor Smoothened (SMO). To limit the toxicity of cyclopamine toward Hh-dependent non-tumor cells, our group previously reported the synthesis of a prodrug (called 1b), designed to deliver cyclopamine in the presence of β-glucuronidase, an enzyme found in the necrotic area of GBM. Here, we aimed to analyze the in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo cytotoxic properties of this prodrug in the C6 rat GBM cells. In the presence of β-glucuronidase, the activated prodrug 1b was toxic and downregulated expression of Gli1, a Hh target gene, in C6 cells and C6-GSCs, but not in normal rat astrocytes in which the Hh pathway is weakly activated. In the absence of β-glucuronidase, prodrug 1b displayed no obvious toxicity toward rat brain tissue explants while cyclopamine clearly affected brain tissue viability. When administered to rats bearing fluorescent C6-derived GBM, the prodrug 1b reduced the tumor density more efficiently than cyclopamine. Prodrug 1b thus appears as a promising concept to optimize confinement of cyclopamine cytotoxicity within the tumors, with more limited effects in the surrounding normal brain tissue.

Abstract
A novel micelle based on heparosan and deoxycholic acid (DOCA) conjugate (HD) as drug carrier was reported here. As the surface was negatively charged, this micelle could resist serum adsorption, showing favorable stability. Moreover, fluorescence observation confirmed that it was able to deliver model hydrophobic drug doxorubicin (DOX) into HeLa cells efficiently. The DOX-loaded micelles showed sustained release behavior at pH 7.4, and accelerated release behavior at pH 5.0 or in the presence of β-glucuronidase, which over-expressed in tumor cells. In vitro cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DOX-loaded micelles against HeLa cells was much lower than that of COS7 cells, showing significant therapeutic distinction between tumor cells and normal cells. Combining with the good biocompatibility and biodegradability of heparosan, this micelle may be promising in clinical application for targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
To assess the cytotoxic effects on A549 human lung cancer cells, we investigated a liquid-crystalline compound possessing a terminal hydroxyl group at concentrations of 0.1-20 μM. The compound, 4-butylphenyl 4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)benzoate (2), showed marked cell-growth inhibition at concentrations higher than 5 μM. Cell accumulation in the Sub-G1 phase indicating apoptosis was observed only at the highest concentration. Dynamic light scattering measurements show that the molecules form a spherical nanoparticle with a diameter of 130-170 nm at concentrations of 5-20 μM. We prepared the corresponding dimeric compounds and investigated their anticancer activity. The 1,2-benzene derivative, 1,2-bis[4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)benzoyloxy]benzene (4), exhibited cell-growth inhibition without affecting the cell cycle. However, the 1,3-benzene derivative, 1,3-bis[4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)benzoyloxy]benzene (5), was found to induce marked cell accumulation in the Sub-G1 phase. Furthermore, we assessed the cytotoxic effects of compounds 2, 4 and 5 on SW480 colon cancer cells and THP1 leukemic cells, as well as on WI-38 normal fibroblast cells. Both compounds 2 and 5 suppressed the growth of the solid cancer cells (A549 and SW480) more strongly compared with that of the hematological cancer cells (THP1). Unexpectedly, they also exhibited a strong cytotoxicity against the normal cells. We discuss the structure-property relationship in the anticancer activity of the mesogenic compounds.

Abstract
The design of novel antitumor agents allowing the destruction of malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues is one of the major challenges in medicinal chemistry. In this context, the use of non-toxic prodrugs programmed to be selectively activated by beta-glucuronidase present at high concentration in the microenvironment of most solid tumors has attracted considerable attention. This review summarizes the major progresses that have been realized in this field over the past ten years. This includes the new prodrugs that have been designed to target a wide variety of anticancer drugs, the prodrugs employed in the course of a combined therapy, the dendritic glucuronide prodrugs and the concept of β-glucuronidase-responsive albumin binding prodrugs.

Abstract
It has been reported that delivery systems based on dendritic prodrugs of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) improved the properties of drug molecules and reduced the side effects and irritation on the gastric mucosa. To find a more effective way in NSAIDs dendritic prodrugs, in this paper, three different dendritic scaffolds of enzymatically cleavable naproxen conjugates have been synthesized in a convergent approach and well characterized by NMR and MS techniques. These self-immolative dendritic NISADs prodrugs programmed to release multiple molecules of the potent naproxen after a single enzymatic activation step, and in 50% human plasma, the drug released from the compound T3 reaching 47.3% after 24h in vitro assay. Moreover, all prodrugs were also found to maintain more significant anti-inflammatory activity, no significant cytotoxicity against HEK293 cells and less degree of ulcerogenic potential in vivo than their monomeric counterpart naproxen. These results provided an effective entry to the development of new dendritic NSAIDs prodrugs.

Abstract
In this paper we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of the first β-glucuronidase-responsive albumin-binding prodrug designed for the selective delivery of doxorubicin at the tumor site. This prodrug leads to superior antitumor efficacy in mice compared to HMR 1826, a well-known glucuronide prodrug of doxorubicin that cannot bind covalently to circulating albumin. Furthermore, this compound inhibits tumor growth in a manner similar to that of doxorubicin while avoiding side effects induced by the free drug.
