Esterase‐Activatable and Glutathione‐Responsive Triptolide Nano‐Prodrug for the Eradication of Pancreatic Cancer
Triptolide (TPL) is a small molecule isolated from a traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F and shows excellent anticancer effect for pancreatic cancer cells. However, the poor water solubility ad severe liver toxicity of TPL hindered its clinical application. Herein, TPL is covalent...
