Abstract

An all-organic hybrid nanobullets labeled as ZPA@HA-ACVA-AZ NBs was developed for the “precise strike”of hypoxic tumors through an oxygen-independently synergistic PTT/TDT, possessing therapeutic advantages over traditional ROS-mediated cancer treatment.By feat of dual-targeting effect from surface-modified HA (targeting CD44 receptors) and AZ (targeting CA IX), the nanobullets accumulated at hypoxic tumors efficiently.The synergism of intelligent nanobullets could suppress the primary breast tumor growth and lung metastasis via CA IX inhibition by AZ and synergistic PTT/TDT.
