Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can activate the anticancer immune response and its occurrence requires high reliance on oxidative stress. Inducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a desirable capability for ICD inducers. However, in the category of ICD-associated drugs, numerous reported ICD inducers are a series of anthracyclines and weak in ICD induction. Herein, a mitochondria-targeting dihydroartemisinin derivative (T-D) was synthesized by conjugating triphenylphosphonium (TPP) to dihydroartemisinin (DHA). T-D can selectively accumulate in mitochondria to trigger ROS generation, leading to the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and ER stress. Notably, T-D exhibits far more potent ICD-inducing properties than its parent compound. Invivo, T-D-treated breast cancer cell vaccine inhibits metastasis to the lungs and tumor growth. These results indicate that T-D is an excellent ROS-based ICD inducer with the specific function of trigging vigorous ROS in mitochondria and sets an example for incorporating artemisinin-based drugs into the ICD field.
