Biodegradable Metal Complex-Gated Organosilica for Dually Enhanced Chemodynamic Therapy through GSH Depletions and NIR Light-Triggered Photothermal Effects

Hollow silica spheres have been widely studied for drug delivery because of their excellent biosecurity and high porosity. However, difficulties with degradation in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and premature leaking during drug delivery limit their clinical applications. To alleviate these problems, herein, hollow organosilica spheres (HOS) were initially prepared using a “selective etching strategy” and loaded with a photothermal drug: new indocyanine green (IR820). Then, the Cu<sup<2+</sup<–tannic acid complex (Cu-TA) was deposited on the surface of the HOS, and a new nanoplatform named HOSIR820@Cu-TA (HICT) was finally obtained. The deposition of Cu-TA can gate the pores of HOS completely to prevent the leakage of IR820 and significantly enhance the loading capacity of HOS. Once in the mildly acidic TME, the HOS and outer Cu-TA decompose quickly in response, resulting in the release of Cu<sup<2+</sup< and IR820. The released Cu<sup<2+</sup< can react with the endogenous glutathione (GSH) to consume it and produce Cu<sup<+</sup<, leading to the enhanced production of highly toxic ·OH through a Fenton-like reaction due to the overexpressed H<sub<2</sub<O<sub<2</sub< in the TME. Meanwhile, the ·OH generation was remarkably enhanced by the NIR light-responsive photothermal effect of IR820. These collective properties of HICT enable it to be a smart nanomedicine for dually enhanced chemodynamic therapy through GSH depletions and NIR light-triggered photothermal effects..
