PMID- 37579973 OWN - NLM STAT- Publisher LR - 20231012 IS - 1873-4995 (Electronic) IS - 0168-3659 (Linking) VI - 362 DP - 2023 Oct TI - Polysaccharide-based tumor microenvironment-responsive drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. PG - 19-43 LID - S0168-3659(23)00517-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.08.019 [doi] AB - The biochemical indicators of tumor microenvironment (TME) that are different from normal tissues provide the possibility for constructing intelligent drug delivery systems (DDSs). Polysaccharides with good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and unique biological properties are ideal materials for constructing DDSs. Nanogels, micelles, organic-inorganic nanocomposites, hydrogels, and microneedles (MNs) are common polysaccharide-based DDSs. Polysaccharide-based DDSs enable precise control of drug delivery and release processes by incorporating TME-specific biochemical indicators. The classification and design strategies of polysaccharide-based TME-responsive DDSs are comprehensively reviewed. The advantages and challenges of current polysaccharide-based DDSs are summarized and the future directions of development are foreseen. The polysaccharide-based TME-responsive DDSs are expected to provide new strategies and solutions for cancer therapy and make important contributions to the realization of precision medicine.
