Recent progress and application of the tetrahedral framework nucleic acid materials on drug delivery

INTRODUCTION: The application of DNA framework nucleic acid materials in the biomedical field has witnessed continual expansion. Among them, tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have gained significant traction as the foremost biological vectors due to their superior attributes of editability, low immunogenicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. tFNAs have demonstrated promising results in numerous in vitro and in vivo applications.

AREAS COVERED: This review summarizes the latest research on tFNAs in drug delivery, including a discussion of the advantages of tFNAs in regulating biological behaviors, and highlights the updated development and advantageous applications of tFNAs-based nanostructures from static design to dynamically responsive design.

EXPERT OPINION: tFNAs possess distinct biological regulatory attributes and can be taken up by cells without the requirement of transfection, differentiating them from other biological vectors. tFNAs can be easily physically/chemically modified and seamlessly incorporated with other functional systems. The static design of the tFNAs-based drug delivery system makes it versatile, reproducible, and predictable. Further use of the dynamic response mechanism of DNA to external stimuli makes tFNAs-based drug delivery more effective and specific, improving the uptake and utilization of the payload by the intended target. Dynamic targeting is poised to become the future primary approach for drug delivery.
