Abstract

Multi-stimuli responsive drug carriers have been actively researched for controlled drug release in complex tumor microenvironments. In addition to the stimuli responsive drug release, combinatorial chemotherapy is essential to increase therapeutic effects. However, previous studies have shown limitation in the synthesis of multi-compartmental drug carriers that can encapsulate multiple drugs and release each drug in a controlled manner. Here, we report multi-stimuli responsive drug carriers containing pH- and redox-sensitive multicompartments. The drug carriers were created by stop flow lithography that can be used to synthesize multicompartmental particles. The carriers exhibited independent drug release upon exposure to the corresponding stimulus.
