Environmentally Responsive Nanoparticle Development for Nanomedicine

With the help of our word-leading nanoparticle preparation technology, CD Formulation can provide our clients with environmentally responsive nanoparticle formulation development services to meet the needs of different customers, including but not limited to endogenous stimuli responsive nanoparticles, exogenous stimuli responsive nanoparticles and multiple responsive nanoparticles.

Classification and Advantages of Environmentally Responsive Nanoparticles

Environmentally responsive nanoparticles are nanodelivery systems designed by responding to tumor microenvironment endogenous stimuli (including low pH, high-level reactive oxygen species, overexpressed enzymes, etc.) and exogenous stimuli (light, ultrasound, temperature, etc.). They can achieve rapid release of drugs at the lesion site.

Environmentally responsive nanoparticles possess properties such as low pH, high reactive oxygen species levels, high shear stress, multi-enzymes, etc. Therefore, they can achieve precise and controllable drug release and increase drug accumulation at the lesion site, thereby improving therapeutic effects and reducing drug side effects.

Our Design Strategies for Environmentally Responsive Nanoparticles

Our design goals of environmentally responsive nanoparticles are mainly to accelerate drug release, promote drug uptake by lesion cells, and improve drug penetration. We are committed to the environmentally responsive nanoparticles design strategies based on abnormal physiological indicators of micro-environment. And our design strategies for environmentally responsive nanoparticles is as follows.

• Responsive to the breaking of chemical bonds and the cleavage of carriers.

The cleavage of sensitive chemical bonds triggers the release of drugs or the cleavage of carriers, thereby achieving controlled release of drugs.

• Response to achieve removal of PEG layer and Responsive charge reversal.

The outer protective layer of the carrier is removed through microenvironmental response to increase the uptake efficiency of the carrier by cells, such as the removal of the polyethylene glycol (PEG) shell or through the reversal of charge on the carrier surface.

• Response to achieve activation of functional molecules.

Re-exposure of functional molecules promotes cellular drug uptake.

• Responding to nanoparticle size changes.

By changing the size of the carrier's responsiveness, the enrichment and penetration of the carrier in the tumor site can be regulated.

Explore Our Construction for Environmentally Responsive Nanoparticles

We can provide our clients with our construction and customization services for various environmentally responsive nanoparticles, including pH-responsive nanoparticles, redox-responsive nanoparticles, ROS-responsive nanoparticles, hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles, etc.

pH-Responsive Nanoparticles

We have two strategies for constructing pH-responsive nanoparticles. One strategy is to utilize polymers with ionizable groups that exhibit conformational and solubility changes at different pH values. Another strategy is to introduce structures with acid-sensitive cleavage that can respond to cleavage in slightly acidic environments.

Redox-Responsive Nanoparticles

We have expertise in developing GSH-responsive nanoparticles based on disulfide bonds, ditelluride bonds and metal ions. And we can tailor them to your specific needs.

ROS-Responsive Nanoparticles

Our team created a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive polymer nanoparticle platform, and successfully encapsulated drugs in ROS-responsive nanoparticles with the help of this platform.

Hypoxia-Responsive Nanoparticles

Our team utilized hypoxia-responsive amphiphilic polymers to create hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles in water that can specifically release drugs in low-oxygen conditions.

Enzyme-Responsive Nanoparticles

We use enzyme-sensitive nanoparticles to bind particular enzyme substrates at desired locations. When these nanoparticles are activated by enzymes found in tumor cells, they undergo alterations in function or appearance, like exposing functional ends or distinct morphological changes. This method boosts targeting, penetration, and drug retention, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of anti-tumor treatments.

Magnetically Responsive Nanoparticles

We have developed techniques for preparing magnetically responsive nanoparticles, in situ synthesis and direct composites. In the in-situ approach, nanoparticle precursors and/or monomers are first mixed and then the nanoparticle formation and/or polymerization are sequentially activated via physicochemical triggers or chemical initiators. In the direct compounding approach, nanofillers and polymers are prepared separately and then they are mixed together, usually by mechanical force or melting.

Furthermore, aside from the environmentally sensitive nanoparticles mentioned earlier, we also offer tailored environmentally responsive nanoparticles such as ATP-responsive nanoparticles, photon-responsive nanoparticles, and GSH/ROS dual responsive nanoparticles.
