Abstract
Organoboron compounds have a wide range of applications in numerous research fields, and methods to incorporate them in biomolecules are much sought after. Here, on-resin chemical syntheses of aliphatic and vinylogous peptide boronic acids are presented by transition metal-catalyzed late-stage hydroboration of alkene and alkyne groups in peptides and peptoids, for example on allyl- and propargylglycine residues, using readily available chemicals. These methods yield peptide boronic acids with much shorter linkers than previously reported on-resin methods. Furthermore, the methods are regio- and stereoselective, compatible with all canonical amino acid residues and can be applied to short, long, and in part even "difficult" peptide sequences. In a feasibility study, the protected peptide vinylboronic acids are further derivatized by the Petasis reaction using salicylaldehyde derivatives. The ability of the obtained peptide boronic acids to reversibly bind to carbohydrates is demonstrated in a catch-release model experiment using a fluorescently labeled peptide boronic acid on cross-linked dextran beads. In summary, this highlights the potential of the target compounds for drug discovery, glycan-specific target recognition, controlled release, and diagnostics.

Abstract
Now-a-days, the polysaccharides are extensively employed for the delivery of small-molecule drugs ascribed to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and modifiability. An array of drug molecules is often chemically conjugated with different polysaccharides to augment their bio-performances. As compared to their therapeutic precursors, these conjugates could typically demonstrate an improved intrinsic solubility, stability, bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiles of the drugs. In current years, various stimuli-responsive particularly pH and enzyme-sensitive linkers or pendants are also exploited to integrate the drug molecules into the polysaccharide backbone. The resulting conjugates could experience a rapid molecular conformational change upon exposure to the microenvironmental pH and enzyme changes of the diseased states, triggering the release of the bioactive cargos at the targeted sites and eventually minimize the systemic side effects. Herein, the recent advances in pH and enzyme -responsive polysaccharide-drug conjugates and their therapeutic benefits are systematically reviewed, following a brief description on the conjugation chemistry of the polysaccharides and drug molecules. The challenges and future perspectives of these conjugates are also precisely discussed.

Molecular bottlebrush prodrugs as mono- and triplex combination therapies for multiple myeloma. NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY 2023; 18:184-192.

Abstract
Cancer therapies often have narrow therapeutic indexes and involve potentially suboptimal combinations due to the dissimilar physical properties of drug molecules. Nanomedicine platforms could address these challenges, but it remains unclear whether synergistic free-drug ratios translate to nanocarriers and whether nanocarriers with multiple drugs outperform mixtures of single-drug nanocarriers at the same dose. Here we report a bottlebrush prodrug (BPD) platform designed to answer these questions in the context of multiple myeloma therapy. We show that proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib)-based BPD monotherapy slows tumour progression in vivo and that mixtures of bortezomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone BPDs exhibit in vitro synergistic, additive or antagonistic patterns distinct from their corresponding free-drug counterparts. BPDs carrying a statistical mixture of three drugs in a synergistic ratio outperform the free-drug combination at the same ratio as well as a mixture of single-drug BPDs in the same ratio. Our results address unanswered questions in the field of nanomedicine, offering design principles for combination nanomedicines and strategies for improving current front-line monotherapies and combination therapies for multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Mechanochemistry is an emerging and reliable alternative to conventional solution (batch) synthesis of complex molecules under green and solvent-free conditions. In this regard, we report here on the conjugation of a dextran polysaccharide with a fluorescent probe, a phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) applying the ball milling approach. The ball milling formation of boron esters between PBA BODIPY and dextran proved to be more efficient in terms of reaction time, amount of reactants, and labelling degree compared to the corresponding solution-based synthetic route. PBA-BODIPY dextran assembles into nanoparticles of around 200 nm by hydrophobic interactions. The resulting PBA-BODIPY dextran nanoparticles retain an apolar interior as proved by pyrene fluorescence, suitable for the encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs with high biocompatibility while remaining fluorescent.

A Combinative Assembly Strategy Inspired Reversibly Borate-Bridged Polymeric Micelles for Lesion-Specific Rapid Release of Anti-Coccidial Drugs. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2020; 12:155.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS A combined assembly strategy from hydrophobicity-driving and reversible borate bridges is proposed for high drug-loading efficiency and superior stability. Intestinal environment-triggered drug delivery system represents an effective treatment for local infection due to the site-specific targeting and shuttling of drugs. The reduced dosage brought by the drug-loading micelles could solve the problem of drug residue in breeding industry. ABSTRACT Stimuli-triggered drug delivery systems hold vast promise in local infection treatment for the site-specific targeting and shuttling of drugs. Herein, chitosan conjugates (SPCS) installed with sialic acid (SA) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) were synthesized, of which SA served as targeting ligand for coccidium and reversible-binding bridge for PBA. The enhanced drug-loading capacity of SPCS micelles was attributed to a combination assembly from hydrophobicity-driving and reversible borate bridges. The drug-loaded SPCS micelles shared superior biostability in upper gastrointestinal tract. After reaching the lesions, the borate bridges were snipped by carbohydrates under a higher pH followed by accelerated drug release, while SA exposure on micellar surface facilitated drug cellular internalization to eliminate parasites inside. The drug-micelles revealed an enhanced anti-coccidial capacity with a higher index of 185.72 compared with commercial preparation. The dual-responsive combination of physicochemical assembly could provide an efficient strategy for the exploitation of stable, safe and flexible anti-infectious drug delivery systems.

Dual-acidity-labile polysaccharide-di-drugs conjugate for targeted cancer chemotherapy. Eur J Med Chem 2020; 199:112367.

Abstract
Polymer-drug conjugates synthesized by binding therapeutic agents to functional polymers have long been a mainstay of prodrugs, while the slow drug release, insufficient efficacy of a single drug, and low selectivity hamper the clinical translation. By rational prodrug design, a targeted dual-acidity-labile polysaccharide-di-drugs conjugate was synthesized by one-pot simultaneous Schiff base and boronic esterification reactions between oxidized dextran (Dex-CHO) and cyclo-(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Lys) (c(RGDfK)), doxorubicin (DOX), and bortezomib (BTZ). The polysaccharide-di-drugs conjugate (Dex-g-(DOX+BTZ)/cRGD) self-assembled into micelle with a diameter at around 80 nm and released the drugs simultaneously triggered by the acidic conditions. Dex-g-(DOX+BTZ)/cRGD specifically recognized and entered the cancer cells through the RGD-αvβ3 integrin interplay, selectively released DOX and BTZ in the acidic intracellular microenvironment, and efficiently inhibited the cell proliferation in vitro. More importantly, Dex-DOX/BTZ/cRGD showed higher intratumoral accumulation and better antitumor efficacy in vivo compared with free drugs and non-targeted control prodrug Dex-g-(DOX+BTZ). The findings indicated that this study provided a facile strategy to develop smart polymer-multi-drugs conjugates for targeted cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a condition where there is an uncontrolled growth of cells resulting in high mortality. It is the second most frequent cause of death worldwide. Bortezomib (BTZ) is a Proteasome Inhibitor (PI) that is used for the treatment of a variety of cancers. It is the first PI that has received the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat mantle cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma. High incidence of sideeffects, limited dose, low water solubility, fast clearance, and drug resistance are the significant limitations of BTZ. Therefore, various drug delivery systems have been tried to overcome these limitations of BTZ in cancer therapy. Nanotechnology can potentially enhance the aqueous solubility of BTZ, increase its bioavailability, and control the release of BTZ at the site of administration. The lipid-based nanocarriers, such as liposomes, solid lipid NPs, and microemulsions, are some of the developments in nanotechnology, which could potentially enhance the therapeutic benefits of BTZ.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest cancers due to its complexities, reoccurrence after surgical resection, metastasis and heterogeneity. In addition to sorafenib and lenvatinib for the treatment of HCC approved by FDA, various strategies including transarterial chemoembolization, radiotherapy, locoregional therapy and chemotherapy have been investigated in clinics. Recently, cancer nanotechnology has got great attention for the treatment of various cancers including HCC. Both passive and active targetings are progressing at a steady rate. Herein, we describe the lessons learned from pathogenesis of HCC and the understanding of targeted and non-targeted nanoparticles used for the delivery of small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, miRNAs and peptides. Exploring current efficacy is to enhance tumor cell response of chemotherapy. It highlights the opportunities and challenges faced by nanotechnologies in contemporary hepatocellular carcinoma therapy, where personalized medicine is increasingly becoming the mainstay. Overall objective of this review is to enhance our understanding in the design and development of nanotechnology for treatment of HCC.

Abstract
This review investigates the significant role polysaccharide particles play in functional drug delivery. The importance of these systems is due to the wide variety of polysaccharides and their natural source meaning that they can provide biocompatible and biodegradable systems with a range of both biological and chemical functionality valuable for drug delivery. This functionality includes protection and presentation of working therapeutics through avoidance of the reticuloendothelial system, stabilization of biomacromolecules and increasing the bioavailability of incorporated small molecule drugs. Transport of the therapeutic is also key to the utility of polysaccharide particles, moving drugs from the site of administration through mucosal binding and transport and using chemistry, size and receptor mediated drug targeting to specific tissues. This review also scrutinizes the methods of synthesizing and constructing functional polysaccharide particle drug delivery systems that maintain and extend the functionality of the natural polysaccharides.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has emerged as an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases. Immunomodulatory nanosystems can readily improve the therapeutic effects and simultaneously overcome many obstacles facing the treatment method, such as inadequate immune stimulation, off-target side effects, and bioactivity loss of immune agents during circulation. In recent years, researchers have continuously developed nanomaterials with new structures, properties, and functions. This Review provides the most recent advances of nanotechnology for immunostimulation and immunosuppression. In cancer immunotherapy, nanosystems play an essential role in immune cell activation and tumor microenvironment modulation, as well as combination with other antitumor approaches. In infectious diseases, many encouraging outcomes from using nanomaterial vaccines against viral and bacterial infections have been reported. In addition, nanoparticles also potentiate the effects of immunosuppressive immune cells for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Finally, the challenges and prospects of applying nanotechnology to modulate immunotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
Based on the overproduction of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in renal tissue during acute kidney injury (AKI) occurrence, we developed a MMP-2 enzyme-triggered polymeric prodrug with sialic acid (SA) as the targeting group to the inflamed vascular endothelial cells for enhanced therapeutic outcomes. An MMP-2-responsive peptide, PVGLIG, was used to endow the polymeric prodrug with the ability to rapidly release the anti-inflammatory drug, curcumin (CUR), after the targeted site is reached and to improve the drug concentration in the target tissue. The sialic acid-dextran-PVGLIG-curcumin (SA-DEX-PVGLIG-CUR) polymeric prodrug was successfully synthesized via multi-step chemical reactions and characterized by 1H NMR. The water solubility of CUR was significantly increased in the polymeric prodrug and was approximately 23-fold higher than that of free CUR. The in vitro drug release results showed that the release rate of SA-DEX-PVGLIG-CUR was significantly enhanced compared to that of SA-DEX-CUR in a dissolving medium containing the MMP-2 enzyme, suggesting that SA-DEX-PVGLIG-CUR had rapid drug release characteristics in an inflammatory environment. A cellular uptake test confirmed that SA-DEX-PVGLIG-CUR was effectively internalized by inflamed vascular endothelial cells in comparison with that by normal cells, and the mechanism was associated with the specific interaction between SA and E-selectin receptors specifically expressed on inflamed vascular endothelial cells. Bio-distribution results further demonstrated the rapid and increased renal accumulation of SA-DEX-PVGLIG-CUR in AKI mice. Benefiting from the rapid drug release in renal tissue, SA-DEX-PVGLIG-CUR effectively ameliorated the pathological progression of AKI compared with free CUR and SA-DEX-CUR, as reflected by the improved renal functions, histopathological changes, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, oxidative stress and expression of apoptosis related proteins. Altogether, this study provided a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and effective method for tumor therapy that relies on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths to inhibit tumor cells. Inorganic semiconductive materials are potential photosensitizers that can excellently absorb ultraviolet light to produce ROS to kill cancer cells. However, this strategy is still limited in terms of practical applications due to the weak penetration of ultraviolet light through biological tissue, as well as the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, largely decreasing ROS generation. In this research, novel PDT agents made with mesoporous lanthanide-semiconductor composites are developed to obtain a remarkable amount of generated ROS under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Due to the larger size (about 120 nm) of the up-conversion material (UCM) used as the substrate, coated with different amounts of semiconductors with mesoporous morphologies, this platform could emit higher blue emission under a 980 nm laser. Meanwhile, both of the semiconductors (SnO2 and TiO2) used have wide absorbance bands in the ultraviolet region, and the ultraviolet fluorescence emitted from the UCM core under NIR laser excitation can be used as the energy donor. Electron transfer processes in SnO2 and TiO2 are generated via the above platforms and produce ROS through photochemical action. Furthermore, the coated semiconductors are mesoporous with larger surface areas (about 302 m2 g−1) and various channels; this is beneficial to obtain enough oxygen to generate more ROS under a hypoxic environment. The PDT efficiency of a typical NaYF4@SnO2 sample is studied using a DPBF detector, in vitro MTT assays, and in vivo tumor inhibition experiments, revealing that this lanthanide-semiconductor platform could be potentially used as a PDT agent under NIR excitation. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and effective method for tumor therapy that relies on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths to inhibit tumor cells.![]()

Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ) provides one of the best treatments for multiple myeloma (MM). The efficacy of BTZ is, nevertheless, restricted by its fast clearance, low selectivity, and dose limiting toxicities. Here, we report on targeted BTZ therapy of MM in vivo by hyaluronic acid-shelled and core-disulfide-crosslinked biodegradable micelles (HA-CCMs) encapsulating lipophilized BTZ, bortezomib-pinanediol (BP). HA-CCMs loaded with 7.3 BTZ equiv. wt% exhibited a small size of 78 nm, good stability in 10% FBS, and glutathione-triggered drug release. MTT assays in CD44 positive LP-1 multiple myeloma cells revealed that BP encapsulated in HA-CCMs caused enhanced antiproliferative effect compared with free BP. Flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and MTT assays indicated BP-loaded HA-CCMs (HA-CCMs-BP) could actively target to LP-1 cells and induce high antitumor effect. Proteasome activity assays in vitro showed HA-CCMs-BP had a similar proteasome activity inhibition as compared to free BTZ at 18 h. The fluorescence imaging using Cy5-labeled HA-CCMs showed that HA-CCMs had a long elimination half-life and enhanced tumor accumulation via HA-mediated uptake mechanism. The therapeutic studies in LP-1 MM-bearing mice revealed better treatment efficacy of HA-CCMs-BP compared with free BTZ, in which HA-CCMs-BP at 3 mg BTZ equiv./kg brought about significant tumor growth inhibition and survival benefits. Loading of lipophilized BTZ into HA-shelled multifunctional micelles has emerged as an exciting approach for bortezomib therapy of MM. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy. Bortezomib (BTZ), a potent proteasome inhibitor, provides one of the best treatments for MM. The clinical efficacy of BTZ is, however, limited by its quick clearance, poor selectivity, and significant side effects including myelosuppression and peripheral neuropathy. Here, we report on targeted BTZ therapy of MM in vivo by hyaluronic acid-shelled and core-disulfide-crosslinked biodegradable micelles (HA-CCMs) encapsulating lipophilized BTZ, bortezomib-pinanediol (BP). Our results showed that BP-loaded HA-CCMs exhibit markedly enhanced toleration, broadened therapeutic window, and significantly more effective growth suppression of CD44-overexpressed multiple myeloma in nude mice than free bortezomib. Lipophilized BTZ-loaded HA-CCMs has opened a new avenue for targeted bortezomib therapy of multiple myeloma.

Abstract
The treatment of metastatic tumors is highly desirable in clinics, which has also increased the interest in the design of nanoscale drug delivery systems. Bone metastasis is one of the most common pathways in the metastasis of breast cancer, and it is also an important cause for tumor recurrence and death. The aryl boronate group, as an acid-labile linker, has been introduced into nano-assemblies in recent years. Especially, as a proteasome inhibitor anticancer drug with a boric acid group, bortezomib can facilitate the formation of pH-sensitive aryl boric acid ester linkage with the catecholic group. In this study, bortezomib-loaded micelles with bone targeting properties were constructed for the treatment of breast cancer bone metastasis. The mixed micelles employed alendronate (ALN) as the bone-targeting ligand and encapsulated bortezomib-catechol conjugates as the cargo. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that compared with free drugs or control micelles, these prodrug micelles (ALN-NP) exhibited many favorable properties such as reduced systemic toxicity and improved therapeutic effects. Therefore, ALN-NP is promising as a nanovehicle for bone-targeting delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. Furthermore, this study offers a novel strategy combining bone targeting and aryl boronate-based pH-responsive drug release for anti-metastasis therapy.

Abstract
In this study, we reported a redox-responsive drug delivery system (DDS) based on heparosan and deoxycholic acid conjugates (HSDs) for effective treatment of laryngopharyngeal carcinoma. The amphiphilic HSDs can self-assemble into stable nanoscale micelles in aqueous medium with favorable drug loading capacity for doxorubicin (DOX). The HSD micelles can exhibit glutathione (GSH)-triggered drug release behavior and reach a nearly 100% release rate in a high GSH level (10 mM) environment. Moreover, FaDu cancer cells can internalize HSD micelles by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, which is energy dependent, fast, and effective. The DOX@HSD induced inhibition of FaDu cancer cells can achieve a minimum of 10-fold selectivity relative to that of COS-7 normal cells. Overall, the redox-responsive DDSs show good biocompatibility and are promising in the clinical treatment of laryngopharyngeal carcinoma.

The therapeutic potential of the active targeting and acid-sensitive polysaccharide prodrug was investigated. The active targeting of polysaccharide prodrug was based on the specific interaction between cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Phe-Lys) peptide (c(RGDfK)) and its receptor αvβ3 integrin overexpressed on the membrane of tumor cells. The cRGD-modified doxorubicin-conjugated hydroxyethyl starch (HES=DOX/cRGD) was synthesized via a one-step Schiff base reaction between oxidized HES, and DOX and c(RGDfK) that achieved an acid-accelerated drug release profile. The targeted polysaccharide prodrug self-assembled into micelle in aqueous environment with a moderate hydrodynamic diameter of 77.1 nm. All data in vitro indicated enhanced cell uptake and elevated cytotoxicity of HES=DOX/cRGD toward human malignant melanoma A375 cells compared with HES=DOX and DOX. Moreover, the smart prodrug also exhibited upregulated accumulation in the tumor, improved antitumor efficacy, and reduced systemic cytotoxicity in vivo. The cRGD-decorated acid-sensitive polysaccharide prodrug was advantageous in both antitumor efficacy and systemic security, showing great prospect in clinical application.

Abstract
In the synergistic treatment with cytotoxic drug and vascular disrupting agent, the order of drug release shows great importance to enhance the antitumor efficacy. When vascular disrupting agent is firstly administrated, the reduced blood supply and overexpressed hypoxia-inducible factor-1α greatly limit the efficiency of chemotherapy. In this work, an injectable thermo-sensitive polypeptide hydrogel was firstly developed for the locally sequential delivery of hydrophilic doxorubicin (DOX, a cytotoxic agent) and hydrophobic combretastatin A4 (CA4, a vascular disrupting drug). The aqueous solution of polypeptide at low temperature transformed into hydrogel under the body temperature after subcutaneous injection and completely degraded after four weeks with excellent biocompatibility. DOX and CA4 were co-loaded into the hydrogel, and the release of DOX showed much faster than that of CA4 due to their difference in water solubility. The superior inhibition of tumor volume after treatment with DOX and CA4 co-loaded hydrogel occurred in the treatment of grafted mouse U14 cervical tumor compared with both free drugs and single drug-loaded hydrogels. In addition, the co-loaded hydrogel obtained enhanced apoptosis of tumor cells, significant shutdown of blood vessels, and wholly regional tumor apoptosis, which indicated the eradication of solid tumor. Moreover, treatments with the drug-loaded hydrogels showed negligible damage to normal tissues, suggesting their low systemic toxicity. The locally sequential delivery system had great potential for in situ synergistic chemotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The release order makes great difference in the synergistic efficacies of cytotoxic drug and vascular disrupting agent. When cytotoxic drug is administrated before vascular disrupting agent, an eradication of tumor might be obtained. On the contrary, the antitumor efficiency will be greatly hindered by limited penetration of later cytotoxic drug and drug resistant induced by vascular disrupting agent. Therefore, the adjustment of the delivery behaviors of such two-pronged agents in one platform was significant for their efficiently synergistic chemotherapy. The present study originally provides a convenient strategy and an advanced sample for sequential administration of cytotoxic drug and vascular disrupting agent in one platform based on their water solubility to achieve upregulated efficacy and safety.

Abstract
In recent years, in situ chemotherapy mediated by biodegradable polymer platforms has attracted increased attention. Herein, an advanced drug delivery system, combretastatin A-4 (CA4) and docetaxel (DTX)-loaded microsphere embedded in injectable thermosensitive polypeptide hydrogel (i.e., hydrogel-microsphere (Gel-MP) construct), was reported for sequential release of drugs with different mechanisms to treat osteosarcoma synergistically. The Gel-MP construct showed sequential biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility. CA4 was preferentially released from hydrogel with faster degradation to disturb the vascular structure of the tumor and reduce the exchange of nutrients between the tumor and surrounding tissues, which created interstitial space in the tissue for DTX penetration to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. The in vivo treatment with Gel/CA4-MP/DTX efficiently suppressed the growth of mouse K7 osteosarcoma compared to other formulations. More importantly, by systematical study of histopathology and immunohistochemistry, the Gel-MP construct can significantly upregulate antiproliferation effect and reduce toxicity of drugs. Therefore, this injectable and locally sequential delivery system has a bright prospect in clinical application of in situ synergistic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Nowadays, chemotherapy is one of the principal modes of treatment for tumor patients. However, the traditional formulations of small molecule drugs show short circulation time, low tumor selectivity, and high toxicity to normal tissues. To address these problems, a facilely prepared, and pH and reduction dual-responsive polypeptide nanogel was prepared for selectively intracellular delivery of chemotherapy drug. As a model drug, doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the nanogel through a sequential dispersion and dialysis technique, resulting in a high drug loading efficiency (DLE) of 96.7 wt.%. The loading nanogel, defined as NG/DOX, exhibited a uniform spherical morphology with a mean hydrodynamic radius of 58.8 nm, pH and reduction dual-triggered DOX release, efficient cell uptake, and cell proliferation inhibition in vitro. Moreover, NG/DOX exhibited improved antitumor efficacy toward H22 hepatoma-bearing BALB/c mouse model compared with free DOX·HCl. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses were implemented to further confirm the tumor suppression activity of NG/DOX. Furthermore, the variations of body weight, histopathological morphology, bone marrow cell micronucleus rate, and white blood cell count verified that NG/DOX showed excellent safety in vivo. With these excellent properties in vitro and in vivo, the pH and reduction dual-responsive polypeptide nanogel exhibits great potential for on-demand intracellular delivery of antitumor drug, and holds good prospect for future clinical application.

Abstract
The reduction-responsive polymeric nanocarriers have attracted considerable interest because of a significantly higher concentration of intracellular glutathione in comparison with that outside cells. The smart nanovehicles can selectively transport the antitumor drugs into cells to improve efficacies and decrease side effects. In this work, a facilely prepared glutathione-degradable nanogel was employed for targeting intracellular delivery of an antitumor drug (ie, doxorubicin [DOX]). DOX was loaded into nanogel through a sequential dispersion and dialysis approach with a drug loading efficiency of 56.8 wt%, and the laden nanogel (noted as NG/DOX) showed an appropriate hydrodynamic radius of 56.1±3.5 nm. NG/DOX exhibited enhanced or improved maximum tolerated dose on healthy Kunming mice and enhanced intratumoral accumulation and dose-dependent antitumor efficacy toward H22 hepatoma-xenografted mouse model compared with free drug. In addition, the upregulated antitumor efficacy of NG/DOX was further confirmed by the histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. Furthermore, the excellent in vivo security of NG/DOX was confirmed by the detection of body weight, histopathology, and biochemical indices of corresponding organs and serum. With controllable large-scale preparation and fascinating in vitro and in vivo properties, the reduction-responsive nanogel exhibited a good prospect for clinical chemotherapy.

Abstract
The pH-triggered intracellular drug delivery platforms have attracted great interest in malignancy therapy. Herein, a pH-responsive polyion complex (PIC) micelle from anionic acid-sensitive methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(N(ϵ)-((1-carboxy-cis-cyclohexene)-2-carbonyl)-L-lysine) (mPEG-b-PCLL) and cationic doxorubicin (DOX), a model anthracycline antitumor drug, was constructed by electrostatic interaction for directional intracellular drug delivery in malignancy chemotherapy. The PIC micelle kept constant diameter at physiological condition (i.e., pH 7.4), while gradually swelled and finally disassembled at mimicking intratumoral pH (i.e., 6.8) and especially intracellular endo/lysosomal pH (i.e., 5.5). The DOX release from the PIC micelle at pH 7.4 was slow, whereas obviously accelerated at the intracellular acidic condition of pH 5.5. These results should be related to the rapid cleavage of the side amide bond of mPEG-b-PCLL in an acidic environment. The PIC micelle exhibited satisfactory tumor suppression toward the H22 hepatoma-bearing BALB/c mouse model compared with free DOX, which was demonstrated by the upregulated tumor inhibition rate, and the increased necrotic and apoptosis areas in tumor tissue. Furthermore, the enhanced security was also observed in the PIC micelle group in relation to that of free DOX. The above results strongly supported that the acid-sensitive PIC micelle was promising for selective intracellular drug delivery along with upregulated malignancy inhibition.
