  • Prodrug Systems (II): a perspective of Polymer-based Doxorubicin Prodrug systems towards chemotherapy
    Publication . Wang, Zhao; Olim, Filipe; Sun, Jingjing; Neves, Ana Rute; Mendes, Fátima; Tomás, Helena; Sheng, Ruilong
    Utilizing biocompatible polymers as platforms to covalently conjugate with chemotherapeutics to construct polymer-based prodrugs and their nano drug delivery systems has attracted great attention in recent years. This perspective reviewed state-of-the-arts for polymer-based doxorubicin prodrugs and the related nanodelivery systems, including: (1) pH-responsive polymer-doxorubicin prodrugs/conjugates; (2) pH/redox dual responsive prodrugs/conjugates; (3) reactive oxygen species/hypoxia-responsive polymer-doxorubicin prodrugs; (4) tumor receptor targeting polymer prodrugs; (5) enzyme-responsive polymer-doxorubicin prodrugs. Finally, possible future perspectives were also stated and discussed.
  • Prodrug Systems (I): Lipid-based Doxorubicin Prodrugs and their nanodelivery systems
    Publication . Olim, Filipe; Neves, Ana Rute; Wang, Zhao; Sun, Jingjing; Tomás, Helena; Sheng, Ruilong
    Using natural lipids to covalently connect with antitumor agents to construct lipid-based molecular prodrugs and their nanosystems is a promising research frontier for sustainable medicinal chemistry, nanobiotechnology and tumor chemotherapy. This paper reviewed recent progress of lipid-based doxorubicin (molecular) prodrugs and their nanodelivery systems, including lipid-doxorubicin prodrugs, stimuli-responsive lipid-doxorubicin prodrugs, and lipid-doxorubicin prodrug-based drug co-delivery nanosystems. Additionally, possible future research outlooks in this field were also discussed.
