Abstract

Rationally designed PIC nanoparticles as next-generation delivery system: we have developed a core-shell-corona PIC nanoparticle (⊕) NP/Pt@PPC-DA as a next-generation delivery system. (⊕) NP/Pt@PPC-DA exhibits prolonged circulation and enhanced drug accumulation in tumors. Subsequently, tumor pH leads to the release of (⊕) NP/Pt, which facilitates cellular uptake followed by rapid intracellular cisplatin release. Using this delivery strategy cisplatin-resistant tumor growth in a murine xenograft model has been successfully suppressed.
