Caged Pt Nanoclusters Exhibiting Corrodibility to Exert Tumor‐Inside Activation for Anticancer Chemotherapeutics

Abstract: We report on caged Pt nanoclusters that are able to exert tumor-inside activation for anticancer chemotherapeutics and to minimize systemic toxicity. By shrinking the Pt size to 1 nm, it possesses corrodibility for dissolution in weakly acidic organelles to release toxic Pt ions. The therapeutic effect in exerting tumor-inside activation is confirmed in vivo by post-modifying a pH-cleavable PEG corona and mixing it with a tumor-homing peptide for tumour suppression.

“…For example, platinum(II)‐based drugs, including cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and carboplatin, are extensively utilized as first‐line drugs to treat a series of cancers, including cervical, ovarian, head, and neck, and non‐small‐cell lung cancers . However, their clinical use is greatly limited by the ineffectiveness against drug‐resistant cancers, as well as their adverse effects arising from the poor selectivity to cancerous tissue over normal tissues . Numerous nanomedicines on the basis of platinum(II) complexes have been developed aiming to tumor‐specific delivery by fully taking advantage of active targeting and the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect .…”

“…Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively studied for various important applications such as fuel cells [1-], catalysis [4][5][6], surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), sensors [7], and biomedical applications [8]. From both experimental investigations on single crystal surfaces and theoretical studies, it has been widely reported that many physical and chemical properties are strongly dependent on the atomic arrangements and thus the crystallographic plane on the surface [9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…In fact, Pt nanoparticles are known to kill cancer cells 1524 by the leached Pt ions under low pH conditions such as the cell endosome. 17,18 Especially when the particle size is reduced to less than 3 nm, >50% of the atoms will be located on the surface of the crystal, 25,26 resulting in increased oxygen adsorption and water oxidation for surface corrosion, 26 thus facilitating Pt ion release for enhanced activity. However, nonspecific targeting of Pt compound has a wide range of toxicity to normal tissues.…”
