Abstract

A novel amphiphilic camptothecin prodrug, CPT-ss-Ir, consisting of CPT, Ir and a disulfide bond linker, was synthesized, and it could self-assemble into nanowires in aqueous solution. Upon intracellular triggering, active CPT and Ir species were released to exert a considerable anticancer effect.
