Photoactivatable Prodrug-Backboned Polymeric Nanoparticles for Efficient Light-Controlled Gene Delivery and Synergistic Treatment of Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

Dongfang Zhou & Yubin Huang · 2020-04-09

Combination of chemotherapy and gene therapy provides an effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, the lack of suitable codelivery systems with efficient endo/lysosomal escape and controllable drug release/gene unpacking is the major bottleneck for maximizing the combinational therapeutic efficacy. In this work, we developed a photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrug-backboned polymeric nanoparticle system (CNP
