Adenosine triphosphate/pH dual-responsive controlled drug release system with high cancer/normal cell selectivity and low side toxicity

摘要

Most drug-delivery systems (DDS) suffer from poor selectivity to cancer/normal cells or the complicated synthetic process. Herein, we employed a novel facile method to develop an oligodeoxy nucleotides based DDS composed with adenosine-5(')- triphosphate (ATP) aptamer and a pH responsive cytosine (C) DNA fragment for specific daunomycine (DNM) delivery. The DDS has ATP/pH dual-responsive drug release, can selectively internalize into tumor cell lines and thus has ultrahigh cancer/normal cell selectivity over the individual drug. The non-chemical synthesis, controllable dual-responsive intracellular drug release, and high cancer/normal cell selectivity endowed the DDS high biocompatibility and significant tumor suppression.
