Peptide photowrapping of gold-silica nanocomposites for constructing MMP-responsive drug capsules for chemo-photothermal therapy

Abstract

A multifunctional undecapeptide, YYDPLGLADYY, was designed and synthesized for the photowrapping of silica-coated gold nanorods. The obtained nanocapsules, bearing a well-defined core–shell structure, were able to encapsulate a therapeutic drug, respond to an MMP-upregulated tumor microenvironment, and achieve NIR-triggered anticancer chemo-photothermal therapy with favorable efficacy.
