Abstract:
Real-time monitoring of hydroxyl radical (⋅OH) generation is crucial for both the efficacy and safety of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Although ⋅OH probe-integrated CDT agents can track ⋅OH production by themselves, they often require complicated synthetic procedures and suffer from self-consumption of ⋅OH. Here, we report the facile fabrication of a self-monitored chemodynamic agent (denoted as Fc-CD-AuNCs) by incorporating ferrocene (Fc) into β-cyclodextrin (CD)-functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) via host–guest molecular recognition. The water-soluble CD served not only as a capping agent to protect AuNCs but also as a macrocyclic host to encapsulate and solubilize hydrophobic Fc guest with high Fenton reactivity for in vivo CDT applications. Importantly, the encapsulated Fc inside CD possessed strong electron-donating ability to effectively quench the second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence of AuNCs through photoinduced electron transfer. After internalization of Fc-CD-AuNCs by cancer cells, Fenton reaction between redox-active Fc quencher and endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) caused Fc oxidation and subsequent NIR-II fluorescence recovery, which was accompanied by the formation of cytotoxic ⋅OH and therefore allowed Fc-CD-AuNCs to in situ self-report ⋅OH generation without undesired ⋅OH consumption. Such a NIR-II fluorescence-monitored CDT enabled the use of renal-clearable Fc-CD-AuNCs for efficient tumor growth inhibition with minimal side effects in vivo. © 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
