ABSTRACT
Regulating chemical drug's responsiveness to gamma radiation is crucial for achieving better therapeutic effects in cancer treatment. Most research focused on thermodynamic chemical structure design, while little attention was paid to kinetic regulate strategy, which possesses greater universality and security. In this study, we achieved a kinetic-based regulate strategy of gamma radiation reaction, through the construction of microphase environment during polymerization of polytelluoxane (PTeO). We designed hydrophobic segments forming large compound micelles (LCMs) assembly to create kinetically favorable higher concentration for radiation-induced reaction. It exhibited a > ten times higher responsiveness and, as far as we know, merely required a minimum dosage of 5 Gy for polymerization to occur. What's more, by taking advantages of the assembly change with Te-O hydrophilic segments and gamma radiation, polymerization became milder with lower polydispersity than previous methods. Such kinetic-based regulate strategy could offer a novel perspective on the design of radiation-responsive chemoradiotherapy and other radiation-induced chemical process.
