Enhancing the Cellular Uptake of Macromolecules via Enzyme-Instructed Self-Assembly
Poor solubility, low cellular uptake, and poor cell selectivity are the main obstacles hampering the therapeutic potential and clinic application of macromolecules.

| Zusammenfassung: | Poor solubility, low cellular uptake, and poor cell selectivity are the main obstacles hampering the therapeutic potential and clinic application of macromolecules. To overcome these limitations, here we propose a chemical modification strategy of macromolecules based on enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA). By using protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and its metal complex Zn-PpIX as the modification objects, we demonstrated that the integration of enzymatic transformation and molecular self-assembly of macromolecules successfully improved the solubility of macromolecules, enhancing their intracellular uptake selectively against cancer cells. The proposed strategy is potentially applicable as a general tool for the development of macromolecule-based nanomedicine |
