Novel targeted pH-responsive drug delivery systems based on PEGMA-modified bimetallic Prussian blue analogs for breast cancer chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: The development of novel nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (nano-DDSs) with high loading capacity, low toxicity, precise targeting, and excellent biocompatibility remains urgent and important for the treatment of breast cancer (BC). Herein, novel BC-targeted nano-DDSs based on bimetallic Prussian blue analogs (PBA-DDSs) for intracellular doxorubicin (DOX) delivery and pH-responsive release were developed. Two kinds of bimetallic PBA, namely CuFe (copper-iron) PBA and CoFe (cobalt-iron) PBA, were synthesized by a coprecipitation method, followed by modification with polyethyleneglycol methacrylate (PEGMA) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization and immobilization with the AS1411 aptamer to obtain two kinds of novel BC-targeted nano-DDS.
