description Rational design of self-assembly drug amphiphiles can provide a promising strategy for constructing nano-prodrug with high drug loading, smart stimuli-responsive drug release and high tumor selectivity. Herein, we report a small molecular amphiphile prodrug that can self-assemble into multifunctional nano-prodrug for enhanced anticancer effect by the combination of chemotherapy and phototherapy (PDT/PTT). In this prodrug, the simple insertion of quinone propionate into hydrophilic drug Irinotecan (Ir) generates suitable amphiphiles that endow a good self-assembly behavior of the prodrug and transform it into a stable and uniform nanoparticle. Interestingly, this excellent self-assembly behavior can load phototherapy agent ICG to form a multifunctional nano-prodrug, thereby enhancing the chemotherapeutic effect with PDT/PTT. Importantly, the quinone propionic acid moiety in the prodrug showed a high sensitivity to the overexpressed NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, and this sensitivity enables the disassembly of nano-prodrug and efficient NQO1-responsive drug release. To further enhance the drug accumulation on tumor tissue and migrate the blood clearance, a biomimetic nano-prodrug has been successfully explored by coating hybrid membrane on the above nano-prodrug, which displays high selective inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis on NSCLC mice model. Our findings provide new insights into the rational design of tumor-overexpressed enzyme responsive nano-prodrug for cancer combinational therapy.
