Poly(L-glutamic acid)-g-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)/combretastatin A4 (CA4)/BLZ945 nanoparticles (CB-NPs) have shown great potential as nano vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) in the realm of synergistic cancer therapy.Methods: In this study, we investigated the nanocharacteristics of CB-NPs, focusing on active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), as well as lyophilized samples combining API with protective agents (PAs). The in vivo efficacy of final sample (API + PAs) was evaluated.Results: The assembled sphere of API with complex core and thin-shell structure was confirmed. PAs were found to significantly influence in vivo efficacy. Collaborative efforts between API and PAs, namely mannitol and lactose, resulted in the most promising lyophilized sample, ie, the final sample (FS2) for CC therapy. Impressively, FS2 demonstrated an exceptional 100% cure rate on the CC U14-bearing mice model.Conclusion: FS2 has provided significant insights for cervical cancer therapy. It is also crucial to develop a comprehensive evaluation strategy for the formulation of nanomedicine, which has the potential to serve as a guideline for future clinical trials. Keywords: combretastatin A4, BLZ945, glutamic acid, nano character, cervical cancer
