Advanced Science, EarlyView.A supramolecular pyroptotic thermal switch encapsulates I3− within β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and undergoes CaCO3 mineralization. Upon lysosomal acidification, CaCO3 is degraded, releasing Ca2+ and I3−. Concurrently, BODIPY activation converts I3− into I2, inducing oxidative stress and Ca2+ overload, which together trigger caspase‐3/GSDME‐mediated ...

Mitochondrial targeted prodrug nanoparticles for chemo-photodynamic combinational tumour therapy
Smart Materials in MedicineProdrug nanoparticles have been explored as an effective means for drug delivery because of controlled drug release in a stimulus-responsive manner. Organellar-targeted drug delivery could enhance the efficacy of cancer therapy. Herein, pH and light dual

Pectin–metronidazole prodrug bearing microspheres for colon targeting
Journal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2015 The present study explored the potential of pectin–metronidazole (PT–ME) prodrug bearing microspheres for colon delivery. PT–ME prodrug was synthesized with different degree of substitution. The success of the synthesis was confirmed by spectroscopy.

Artificial Intelligence‐Guided Phenotypic Drug Repurposing Against Streptococcus pneumoniae
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Integrated artificial intelligence (AI) ensembles identify highly potent repurposed drugs against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Prospective virtual screening of 6747 drugs uncovers nine active candidates, including thiostrepton. This drug exhibits low picomolar potency and bypasses established resistance in multidrug‐resistant strains, demonstrating an ...

Chemical Bond‐Orchestrated Energy Depletion to Augment Lung Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study grafted dichloroacetic acid (DCA) into perylenediimide (PDI) skeleton via ionic or covalent bond to create novel metabolic agent PDIC‐AC and PDIC‐NAC, explicitly elaborated the underlying energy metabolism and therapeutic mechanism, and developed a promising strategy for energy metabolism‐targeting chemo‐immunotherapy by chemical bond ...
