One-Pot Rapid Synthesis of Cu2+-Doped GOD@MOF to Amplify the Antitumor Efficacy of Chemodynamic Therapy

Qing Li et al.

Summary: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) relies on the transformation of intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to hydroxyl radicals (OH) under the catalysis of Fenton/Fenton-like reagents, which amplifies oxidative stress and induces cellular apoptosis. However, CDT efficacy is limited by overexpressed GSH and insufficient endogenous H2O2 in tumors. Cu2+ and glucose oxidase (GOD) co-delivery can lead to GSH depletion and amplify the Fenton-like reaction. pH-responsive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal for delivering Fenton/Fenton-like ions to tumors. However, it is challenging to abundantly dope Cu2+ in ZIF-8 MOF nanoparticles in aqueous conditions. This study developed a biomimetic mineralization method to synthesize GOD@Cu-ZIF-8, which showed promising antitumor capability through enhanced CDT in vitro and in vivo.
