Abstract
Precision therapy has developed as an important strategy for cancer treatment. We have developed an external electric field (EF) controlled targeting drug delivery nanosystem (TDDS) for precision cancer therapy. The electric field responsive targeting drug delivery nanosystem (EFTDDS) is synthesized by functionalizing mesoporous silica with polynitrophenyl-methacrylamide-folate (PNMAFA). The functional molecules grafted in the mesopores effectively encapsulate the drugs in the EFTDDS and control the drug release by nitrylphenyl dipolar responding to electric field. The EFTDDS has achieved high electric field control as demonstrated by the promoted EF-responsive release and the low nonspecific leakage of the doxorubicin. Furthermore, when breast cancer xenograft models on nude mice were treated with EF-stimulated nanomedicine, the tumor-inhibition rate increases to 75%, which is 2.7 times as high as that without electric field stimulation. The EFTDDS is demonstrated biodegradable, biocompatible, and EF remotely controllable, represents excellent inhibiting effect on tumor in vivo, and might become a promising nanomedicine platform for electrodynamic therapy (EDT) in the potential clinical applications.
