Abstract
The insufficient antioxidant reserves in tumor cells play a critical role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated therapeutics. Metallothionein-2 (MT-2), an intracellular cysteine-rich protein renowned for its potent antioxidant properties, is intricately involved in tumor development and correlates with a poor prognosis. Consequently, MT-2 emerges as a promising target for tumor therapy. Herein, we present the development of copper-doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) to target MT-2 to compromise the delicate antioxidant reserves in tumor cells. These Cu-CDs with high tumor accumulation and prolonged body retention can effectively suppress tumor growth by inducing oxidative stress. Transcriptome sequencing unveils a significant decrease in MT-2 expression within the in vivo tumor samples. Further mechanical investigations demonstrate that the antitumor effect of Cu-CDs is intricately linked to apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-mediated downregulation of MT-2 expression and the collapse of the antioxidant system. The robust antitumor efficacy of Cu-CDs provides invaluable insights into developing MT-2-targeted nanomedicine for cancer therapies.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates the structure variation of hexarhenium anionic cluster units [{Re6S8}(CN)(6-n)(OH)n]4- (n = 0, 2, 4) as the strategy to develop Mn2+-containing nanoparticles (NPs) exhibiting pH-dependent leaching. The dicyanotetrahydroxo complex [{Re6S8}(CN)2(OH)4]4- is the optimal for the synthesis of the Mn2+-based NPs with a lamellar shape exhibiting the pH-dependent aggregation and magnetic relaxation behavior. The pH-dependent behavior of the NPs derives from the easy protonation of the apical hydroxo ligands of [{Re6S8}(CN)2(OH)4]4- cluster, which triggers partial leaching of Mn2+ ions and aggregation of the NPs driven by the surface neutralization. The in vivo MRI scanning of the mice intravenously injected with the NPs indicates the preferable accumulation of the lamellar NPs within mouse intestine over liver and kidneys. This differs from the spherical NPs constructed from [{Re6Se8}(CN)6]4- units, which provide the preferable brightening of mouse liver over kidneys and intestine.

Abstract
An atomically precise Cu(I) macrocyclic complex Cu8I was developed for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) research. The {Cu8} macrocyclic skeleton gradually forms with the selective recognition of iodide ions, and the monitoring of intermediate fragments during Cu8I formation using time-dependent electrospray ionization mass spectrometry indicates the following possible formation process: [Cu1] → [Cu2] → [Cu3] → [Cu4] → [Cu5I] → [Cu6I] → [Cu7I] → [Cu8I] when recognized by iodide ions. Furthermore, the Cu(I)-mediated Fenton-like reaction in Cu8I catalyzes the production of toxic ˙OH from H2O2, which results in efficient tumor suppression.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based tumour catalytic therapy has attracted widespread attention in recent years, but the therapeutic efficacy is limited due to the trapping of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) by endogenous glutathione (GSH) in the tumour microenvironment (TME). Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 is constructed in this work to serve as a new kind of nanozyme for combination chemotherapy and catalytic treatment. Zr/Ce-MOFs can produce ˙OH in a mimic TME, and the MnO2 on the surface could deplete the GSH, further promoting the ˙OH generation. The pH/GSH dual stimulation accelerates the release of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) in tumour tissue for enhanced tumour chemotherapy. Moreover, Mn2+ produced by the reaction of Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 and GSH can be used as the contrast agent for T1-MRI. The potential antitumour effect of Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 is demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo cancer treatment tests. This work thus provides a new nanozyme-based platform for enhanced combination chemotherapy and catalytic treatment for tumours.

Abstract
Metal copper complexes have attracted extensive attention as potential alternatives to platinum-based anticancer drugs due to their possible different modes of action. Herein, a new copper(II) gluconate complex, namely [Cu(DPQ)(Gluc)]·2H2O (CuGluc, DPQ = pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline), with good water-solubility and high anticancer activity was synthesized by using D-gluconic acid (Gluc-2H) as an auxiliary ligand. The complex was well characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, molar conductivity, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The DNA-binding experiments revealed that CuGluc was bound to DNA by intercalation with end-stacking binding. CuGluc could oxidatively cleave DNA, in which 1O2 and H2O2 were involved. In addition, CuGluc was bound to the IIA subdomain of human serum albumin (HSA) through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding, showing a good affinity for HSA. The complex showed superior anticancer activity toward several cancer cells than cisplatin in vitro. Further studies indicated that CuGluc caused apoptotic cell death in human liver cancer (HepG2) cells through elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial dysfunction, cell cycle arrest, and caspase activation. Interestingly, CuGluc also triggered the ferroptosis mechanism through lipid peroxide accumulation and inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity. More importantly, CuGluc significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo, which may benefit from the combined effects of apoptosis and ferroptosis. This work provides a promising strategy to develop highly effective antitumor copper complexes by coordinating with the glucose metabolite D-gluconic acid and exploiting the synergistic effects of apoptosis and ferroptosis mechanisms.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), an emerging oncology treatment, has received considerable attention owing to its high selectivity, less aggressiveness, and endogenous stimulation. However, the complex intra-tumor environment limits the therapeutic effect. In this study, Cu+ was directly doped into the structure of the UiO-66 matrix using an in situ one-pot oil bath method. The as-formed UiO-66/Cu possessed a large surface area, making it feasible to modify folic acid (FA) and carry more chemotherapeutic agents like tirapazamine (TPZ), thus forming UiO-66/Cu-FA-TPZ nanoplatforms. For CDT, the nanoplatform catalyzed the cyclic generation of the highly oxidizing hydroxyl radical (·OH) from H2O2. Particularly, low-frequency ultrasound enhanced the curative effect. Notably, in a tumor, a severe hypoxic environment and ultrasound can activate more TPZ for safe and efficient chemotherapy, achieving synergistic and hypoxia-activated tumor treatment with a low risk of side effects. Moreover, the nanoplatform exhibits computed tomography imaging functions for combined diagnosis and treatment. Our designed nanoplatform overcomes the dilemma of insufficient efficacy from conventional therapy attributed to a hypoxic environment, expecting to guide the design of future treatment regimens for hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has shown potential for important applications in tumor precision therapy, but insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and a weak Fenton-reaction rate greatly reduced the efficacy of CDT. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF) based bimetallic nanoprobe with self-supplying H2O2 was developed for enhancing CDT with triple amplification, in which ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were deposited on Co-based MOFs (ZIF-67), and manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoshells were coated to form a ZIF-67@AuNPs@MnO2 nanoprobe. In the tumor microenvironment, MnO2 depleted overexpressed GSH to produce Mn2+, and the bimetallic Co2+/Mn2+ nanoprobe accelerated the Fenton-like reaction rate. Moreover, by catalyzing glucose via ultrasmall AuNPs, the self-supplying H2O2 further promoted hydroxyl radical (˙OH) generation. Compared with those of ZIF-67 and ZIF-67@AuNPs, the ˙OH yield of ZIF-67@AuNPs@MnO2 obviously increased, due to which the cell viability decreased to 9.3%, and the tumor completely disappeared, indicating the enhanced CDT performance of the ZIF-67@AuNPs@MnO2 nanoprobe.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) showed an important application in inhibiting tumor growth by producing the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH), but insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and overexpressed glutathione (GSH) limited its application. Herein, by integrating photothermal therapy (PTT) and CDT, a new kind of mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA)-based cascade-reaction nanoplatform (MPDA@AuNPs-Cu) was designed for enhanced antitumor therapy, in which ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with glucose oxidase (GOx)-like activity were deposited on MPDA for providing H2O2, and Cu2+ was chelated for GSH-responsive Fenton-like reaction. It was demonstrated that the MPDA@AuNPs-Cu nanoprobe showed high photothermal conversion efficiency and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the MPDA@AuNPs-Cu nanoprobe exhibited strong ·OH generation because of H2O2 self-generation and photothermal stimulation. Importantly, compared with MPDA-Cu, MPDA@AuNPs-Cu exhibited enhanced in vitro and in vivo CDT/PTT performance, by which the tumor growth was completely inhibited, achieving TME-responsive antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
A triphenylphosphine coordinated Cu(I) complex of Fc-OD-Cu was rationally designed for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of cancer. The complex was capable of generating a highly toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) via a Fenton-like reaction induced by Cu(I) moieties and simultaneously mediated by ferrocene moieties. As a result, the CDT efficiency of Fc-OD-Cu is higher than that of Ba-OD-Cu (without ferrocene moieties) and Fc-OD (without Cu(I) moieties).

Abstract
Excessive production of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) plays a crucial role in the progress of colon cancer. Construction of tumor-specific H2 S-activated smart nanoplatform with controllable biodegradation is of great significance for precise and sustainable treatment of colon cancer. Herein, an endogenous H2 S triggered Co-doped polyoxometalate (POM-Co) cluster with self-adjustable size, controlled biodegradation, and sustainable cyclic depletion of H2 S/glutathione (GSH) is designed for synergistic enhanced tumor-specific photothermal and chemodynamic therapy. The designed POM-Co nanocluster holds H2 S responsive "turn-on" photothermal property in colon cancer via self-assembling to form large-sized POM-CoS, enhancing the accumulation at tumor sites. Furthermore, the formed POM-CoS can gradually biodegrade, resulting in release of Co2+ and Mo6+ for Co(II)-catalyzed •OH production and Russell mechanism-enabled 1 O2 generation with GSH consumption, respectively. More importantly, the degraded POM-CoS is reactivated by endogenous H2 S for recyclable and sustainable consumption of H2 S and GSH, resulting in tumor-specific photothermal/chemodynamic continuous therapy. Therefore, this study provides an opportunity of designing tumor microenvironment-driven nanoprobes with controllable biodegradation for precise and sustainable anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a newly developed approach for cancer treatment, can convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by using Fenton/Fenton-like reaction to kill tumor cells. However, due to the complexity of the intracellular environment of tumor cells, the therapeutic efficacy of CDT was severely restricted. Recently, combination therapy strategies have become popular approaches for tumor treatment, and there are numerous studies have demonstrated that the CDT-based combination strategies can significantly improve the anti-tumor efficiency of CDT. In this review, we outline some of the recent progress in cancer chemodynamic therapy from 2020, and discuss the progress in the design of nanosystems for CDT synergistic combination therapies.

Abstract
Herein, we designed a new nanoplatform for combined PDT/PTT/CDT through simultaneously self-supplying H2O2 and depleting GSH using one single laser irradiation. The nanoplatform was capable of generating multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as 1O2, O2-˙ and ˙OH, resulting in cell death. Moreover, the nanoplatform demonstrated low dark toxicity, high phototoxicity and better biosafety. In vivo animal experiments showed that the tumor growth was efficiently inhibited.

Abstract
Copper-based nanomaterials (Cu-based NMs) with favorable biocompatibility and unique properties have attracted the attention of many biomedical researchers. Cu-based NMs are one of the most widely studied materials in cancer treatment. In recent years, great progress has been made in the field of biomedicine, especially in the treatment and diagnosis of tumors. This review begins with the classification of Cu-based NMs and the recent synthetic strategies of Cu-based NMs. Then, according to the abundant and special properties of Cu-based NMs, their application in biomedicine is summarized in detail. For biomedical imaging, such as photoacoustic imaging, positron emission tomography imaging, and multimodal imaging based on Cu-based NMs are summarized, as well as strategies to improve the diagnostic effectiveness. Moreover, a series of unique structures and functions as well as the underlying property activity relationship of Cu-based NMs were shown to highlight their promising therapeutic performance. Cu-based NMs have been widely used in monotherapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the sophisticated design in composition, structure, and surface fabrication of Cu-based NMs can endow these NMs with more modalities in cancer diagnosis and therapy. To further improve the efficiency of cancer treatment, combined therapy based on Cu-based NMs was introduced in detail. Finally, the challenges, critical factors, and future prospects for the clinical translation of Cu-based NMs as multifunctional theranostic agents were also considered and discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a better understanding and key consideration for the rational design of this increasingly important new paradigm of Cu-based NMs as theranostic agents. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Hepatic carcinoma is one of the most common cancers worldwide, while its treatment remains a great challenge. Traditional therapeutic methods often have disadvantages such as limited therapeutic efficacy and potential side effects. In this study, we report the construction of bovine serum albumin (BSA)–stabilized manganese oxide (MnO2)/semiconducting polymer (SP) nanocomposites to combine photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for treatment of hepatic carcinoma in living mouse models. Such nanocomposites are composed of BSA, SP, and MnO2 as the stabilizer, PTT, and CDT agent, respectively. SP produced local heat under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation for PTT, and MnO2 nanoparticles mediated CDT in the tumor microenvironment, leading to apoptosis of cancer cells. Such nanocomposite-mediated combinational therapy showed a much higher efficacy in inhibiting growth of subcutaneous HepG2 tumors in nude mice than sole treatment. This study thus provides a multifunctional nanoplatform for safe and effective treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Abstract
AbstractSurgical resection is a widely used method for the treatment of solid tumor cancers. However, the inhibition of tumor recurrence and metastasis are the main challenges of postoperative tumor therapy. Traditional intravenous or oral administration have poor chemotherapeutics bioavailability and undesirable systemic toxicity. Polymeric hydrogels with a three-dimensional network structure enable on-site delivery and controlled release of therapeutic drugs with reduced systemic toxicity and have been widely developed for postoperative adjuvant tumor therapy. Among them, because of the simple synthesis, good biocompatibility, biodegradability, injectability, and multifunctionality, iron-based hydrogels have received extensive attention. This review has summarized the general synthesis methods and construction principles of iron-based hydrogels, highlighted the latest progress of iron-based hydrogels in postoperative tumor therapy, including chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemo-dynamic therapy, and magnetothermal-chemical combined therapy, etc. In addition, the challenges towards clinical application of iron-based hydrogels have also been discussed. This review is expected to show researchers broad perspectives of novel postoperative tumor therapy strategy and provide new ideas in the design and application of novel iron-based hydrogels to advance this sub field in cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Copper (II) containing coordination complexes have attracted much attention for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) against cancer cells. In this study, the bimetallic nanobooster [Gd2Cu(L)2(H2O)10]·6H2O was prepared by a solvothermal method based on tetrazole carboxylic acid ligand H4L [H4L = 3,3-di (1H-tetrazol-5-yl) pentanedioic acid]. It showed considerable cytotoxicity toward three kinds of human cancer cells (HeLa, HepG2, and HT29). The MTT assay showed that the IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) of the complex NPs on HeLa cells (4.9 μg/ml) is superior to that of HepG2 (11.1 μg/ml) and HT29 (5.5 μg/ml). This result showed that [Gd2Cu(L)2(H2O)10]·6H2O NPs can inhibit cell proliferation in vitro and may be potential candidates for chemodynamic therapy. In addition, the cytotoxicity was also confirmed by the trypan blue staining experiment. The results promise the great potential of Gd(III)–Cu(II) for CDT against cancer cells.

Abstract
Manganese-based Metal-organic Frameworks (Mn-MOFs) represents a unique sub-class of MOFs with low toxicity, oxidative ability, and biocompatibility, which plays vital role in the application of this class of MOFs in medical field. Mn-MOFs show great potential in biomedical applications, and has been extensively studied as compared to other MOFs in transition metal series. They are important in medical applications because Mn(II) possess large electron spin number and longer electron relaxation time. They display fast water exchange rate and could be employed as a potential MRI contrast agent because of their strong targeting ability. Manganese complexes with different ligands also display prospective applications in area such as carrier for drug targeting in anti-tumor and antimicrobial therapy. In the review presented herewith, the application of Mn-based complexes and Mn-MOFs have been emphasized in the area such as imaging viz. MRI, multimodal imaging, antitumor activities such as chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and antimicrobial applications. Also, how rational designing and syntheses of targeted Mn-based complexes and Mn-MOFs can engender desired applications.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemodynamic therapy is a promising cancer treatment with specific therapeutic effect at tumor sites, as toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) could only be generated by Fenton or Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with low pH and high level of endogenous hydrogen peroxide. However, the low concentration of catalytic metal ions, excessive glutathione (GSH) and aggressive hypoxia at tumor site seriously restrict the curative outcomes of conventional chemodynamic therapy. RESULTS In this study, polyethylene glycol-phenylboronic acid (PEG-PBA)-modified generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were synthesized as a targeted nanocarrier to chelate Cu(II) and then encapsulate hypoxia-sensitive drug tirapazamine (TPZ) by the formation of hydrophobic Cu(II)/TPZ complex for hypoxia-enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy. The formed G5.NHAc-PEG-PBA@Cu(II)/TPZ (GPPCT) nanoplatform has good stability and hemocompatibility, and could release Cu(II) ions and TPZ quickly in weakly acidic tumor sites via pH-sensitive dissociation of Cu(II)/TPZ. In vitro experiments showed that the GPPCT nanoplatforms can efficiently target murine breast cancer cells (4T1) cells overexpressing sialic acid residues, and show a significantly enhanced inhibitory effect on hypoxic cells by the activation of TPZ. The excessive GSH in tumors could be depleted by the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I), and abundant of toxic ·OH would be generated in tumor cells by Fenton reaction for chemodynamic therapy. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the GPPCT nanoplatform could specifically accumulate at tumors, effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors by the combination of CDT and chemotherapy, and be metabolized with no systemic toxicity. CONCLUSIONS The targeted GPPCT nanoplatform may represent an effective model for the synergistic inhibition of different tumor types by hypoxia-enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Advances in nanozyme involve an efficient catalytic process, which has demonstrated great potential in tumor therapy. The key to improving catalytic therapy is to solve the limitation of the tumor microenvironment on Fenton reaction. In this work, Prussian blue nanoparticles doped with different rare earth ions (Yb3+, Gd3+, Tm3+) were screened to perform synergistic of photothermalandcatalytictumortherapy. The optimized catalytic performance can be further enhanced through photothermal effect to maximize the Fenton reaction to solve the limitation of the tumor microenvironment. Yb-PB, with the optimal photothermal and catalytic performance, was screened out. In order to avoid the scavenging effect of glutathione (GSH) on ·OH in tumor cells and the reaction with a bit H2O2 in normal cells, GSH targeted polydopamine (PDA) was wrapped on the surface of Yb-PB to obtain Yb-PB@PDA. It was found that enough hydroxyl radicals (·OH) can be generated even if at high GSH concentration and the NIR irradiation can help produce more ·OH. Cell fluorescence imaging (FOI) and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiments showed the potential application in FOI/MRI dual-mode imaging guided therapy. In vivo anti-tumor experiments showed that Yb-PB@PDA has a satisfactory anti-cancer effect through the combined effect of catalytic/photothermal therapy. Thus, a multifunctional nanozyme for tumor therapy is constructed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though the combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) appears to be very attractive in cancer treatment, hypoxia and overproduced glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) limit their efficacy for further application. RESULTS In this work, a smart hypoxia-irrelevant free radical nanogenerator (AIPH/PDA@CuS/ZIF-8, denoted as APCZ) was synthesized in situ via coating copper sulphide (CuS)-embedded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on the free radical initiator 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]-dihydrochloride (AIPH)-loaded polydopamine (PDA). APCZ showed promising GSH-depleting ability and near-infrared (NIR)-II photothermal performance for combined cancer therapy. Once internalized by 4T1 cells, the outer ZIF-8 was rapidly degraded to trigger the release of CuS nanoparticles (NPs), which could react with local GSH and sequentially hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to form hydroxyl radical (·OH) for CDT. More importantly, the hyperthermia generated by APCZ upon 1064 nm laser excitation not only permitted NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT) and promoted CDT, but also triggered the decomposition of AIPH to give toxic alkyl radical (·R) for oxygen-independent PDT. Besides, the PDA together with CuS greatly decreased the GSH level and resulted in significantly enhanced PDT/CDT in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The tumors could be completely eradicated after 14 days of treatment due to the prominent therapeutic effects of PTT/PDT/CDT. Additionally, the feasibility of APCZ as a photoacoustic (PA) imaging contrast agent was also demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS The novel APCZ could realize the cooperative amplification effect of free radicals-based therapies by NIR-II light excitation and GSH consumption, and act as a contrast agent to improve PA imaging, holding tremendous potential for efficient diagnosis and treatment of deep-seated and hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is an important member of cellular antioxidative system. In cancer cells, a high level of GSH is indispensable to scavenge excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and detoxify xenobiotics, which make it a potential target for cancer therapy. Plenty of studies have shown that loss of intracellular GSH makes cancer cells more susceptible to oxidative stress and chemotherapeutic agents. GSH depletion has been proved to improve the therapeutic efficacy of ROS-based therapy (photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and chemodynamic therapy), ferroptosis, and chemotherapy. In this review, various strategies for GSH depletion used in cancer therapy are comprehensively summarized and discussed. First, the functions of GSH in cancer cells are analyzed to elucidate the necessity of GSH depletion in cancer therapy. Then, the synthesis and metabolism of GSH are briefly introduced to bring up some crucial targets for GSH modulation. Finally, different approaches to GSH depletion in the literature are classified and discussed in detail according to their mechanisms. Particularly, functional materials with GSH-consuming ability based on nanotechnology are elaborated due to their unique advantages and potentials. This review presents the ingenious application of GSH-depleting strategy in cancer therapy for improving the outcomes of various therapeutic regimens, which may provide useful guidance for designing intelligent drug delivery system.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) was regarded as a promising approach for tumor treatment. However, owing to the insufficient amount of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cells, the efficacy of CDT was limited. In this study, we designed phosphate-responsive nanoparticles (denoted as MGDFT NPs) based on metal-organic frameworks, which were simultaneously loaded with drug doxorubicin (DOX) and glucose oxidases (GOx). The decorated GOx could act as a catalytic nanomedicine for the response to the abundant glucose in the tumor microenvironment, generating a great deal of H2O2, which would enhance the Fenton reaction and produce toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Meanwhile, the growth of tumors would also be inhibited by overconsuming the intratumoral glucose, which was the "fuel" for cell proliferation. When the nanoparticles entered into tumor cells, a high concentration of phosphate induced structure collapse, releasing the loaded DOX for chemotherapy. Furthermore, the decoration of target agents endowed the nanoparticles with favorable target ability to specific tumor cells and mitochondria. Consequently, the designed MGDFT NPs displayed desirable synergistic therapeutic effects via combining chemotherapy, starvation therapy, and enhanced Fenton reaction, facilitating the development of multimodal precise antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Multi-functionality has been a constant pursuit in the development of next-generation drug carriers, as it will bring the potential for combination therapy by integrating diverse therapeutic modes. In this work, FeSe2 nanosheets (NSs) have been prepared as a bifunctional platform to investigate their use in synergistic cancer therapy. Bifunctional FeSe2 NSs exhibit exceptional Fenton-like activity that generates cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) and strong broad photothermal performance including the second-infrared (NIR-II) spectral range, wherein the ˙OH production can be enhanced by NIR-II light irradiation. Furthermore, doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated onto NSs via a pH-responsive hydrazone bond to achieve preferential drug release in an acidic microenvironment. Upon intratumoral administration, these bifunctional drug-carrying FeSe2 NSs showed an NIR-II irradiation-reinforced strong tumor suppression effect, and no obvious toxicity to normal tissues was observed. This study provides a new paradigm for the design of advanced drug carriers relying on their inherent physicochemical properties.

Abstract
It is of utmost urgency to achieve effective and safe anticancer treatment with the increasing mortality rate of cancer. Novel anticancer drugs and strategies need to be designed for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are new strategies to enhance anticancer efficacy due to their capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen (O2). On the one hand, the generated ROS can damage the cancer cells directly. On the other hand, the generated O2 can relieve the hypoxic condition in the tumor microenvironment (TME) which hinders efficient photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, etc. Therefore, CDT can be used together with many other therapeutic strategies for synergistically enhanced combination therapy. The antitumor applications of Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based nanomaterials will be discussed in this review, including: (iþ) producing abundant ROS in-situ to kill cancer cells directly, (ii) enhancing therapeutic efficiency indirectly by Fenton reaction-mediated combination therapy, (iii) diagnosis and monitoring of cancer therapy. These strategies exhibit the potential of CDT-based nanomaterials for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Three Cu(II) complexes of quinoline derivatives as cancer chemodynamic therapy agents were synthesized and characterized. These complexes were heavily taken up by cells and reacted with cellular glutathione (GSH) to reduce Cu2+ to Fenton-like Cu+, which catalyzed endogenous H2O2 to produce the highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill cancer cells. Cu1 and Cu2 initiated CAT activity declines, mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP concentration decrease, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and ER stress response, leading to cell cycle arrest in sub-G1 and cancer cell caspase-dependent apoptosis. On account of the high GSH and H2O2 specific properties of the tumor microenvironment, Cu1 and Cu2 exhibited higher in vitro anticancer activity and lower toxicity to normal cells. Cu1 and Cu2 efficiently inhibited tumor growth in the SK-OV-3 xenograft mouse model without obvious systemic toxicity.

Abstract
In recent years, many inorganic nanoparticle-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) agents have been employed in cancer therapy; however, the relatively lower catalytic activity compared to that of other CDT agents and long-term toxicity owing to low biodegradability present significant challenges for their future clinical application. In light of this, metal-organic complex-based agents have been attracting attention as potential alternatives/complements to traditional CDT agents. During the past few years, many reports of agents with improved therapeutic potential have been published; however, no comprehensive review regarding metal-organic complex-based CDT agents has appeared to date. In this feature article, we present the different types and characteristics of metal-organic CDT agents and the potential future therapeutic applications associated with each of these. Representative agents that have been used in the field of CDT over the past 5 years are summarized, and recent advances aimed at improving the therapeutic efficacy in various tumors are highlighted. This framework allows us to discuss recent trends in the field of CDT. We also provide views as to where the field is moving and discuss how the potential of CDT agents can be broadened to include a range of clinical applications that go beyond standard CDT-based treatment strategies.
