Abstract

Combination therapies are gaining interest, as they are expected to improve the pharmacological effects. However, current drug combination therapies involve the administration of individual drugs together, which results in differences in delivery efficiency to tumor tissues owing to differences in pharmacokinetics. In the present study, we developed heterodimeric nano-prodrugs (NPDs). We designed a heterodimer of podophyllotoxin and SN-38, from which an NPD with a particle size of approximately 50 nm and a high dispersion stability was fabricated. Our findings contribute to the development of next-generation drug delivery systems capable of co-delivering multiple anticancer agents.
