ABSTRACT
Since the nonspecificity and nonselectivity of traditional treatment models lead to the difficulty of cancer treatment, nanobased strategies are needed to fill in the gaps of current approaches. Herein, a tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemo-photothermal treatment model was developed based on dihydroartemisinin (DHA)-loaded conjugated polymers (DHA@PLGA-PANI). The synthesized DHA@PLGA-PANI exhibited enhanced photothermal properties under mild-acidic conditions and thus triggered local heat at the tumor site. Meanwhile, these iron-doped conjugated polymers of PLGA-PANI were used as the source of Fe, and benefiting from the Fe-dependent cytotoxicity of DHA, the burst of free radicals could be generated in tumors. Therefore, the combination of TME-responsive chemo-photothermal therapy could achieve effective tumor efficacy.
