Reactive Oxygen-Triggered Lipid Nanoparticles Carrying Prodrugs for Improved mRNA Delivery and Combined Cancer Treatment

Updated

Abstract

LNP-Pro demonstrates significantly enhanced mRNA delivery efficacy compared to conventional formulations.

  • LNP-Pro incorporates a camptothecin-based prodrug that is responsive to reactive oxygen species in tumor cells.
  • This formulation shows superior delivery capacity in tumor cells compared to normal cells.
  • In vitro and in vivo studies indicate that LNP-Pro synergizes with CPT chemotherapeutic to induce tumor cell apoptosis.
  • Significant tumor growth inhibition is achieved in a murine model using LNP-Pro.
  • The approach integrates stimulus-responsive prodrugs with lipid nanoparticle systems for mRNA-based cancer therapy.
