Polymeric nanocapsules hold considerable applications in cancer drug delivery, but the synthesis of well-defined nanocapsules with a tunable drug release property remains a significant challenge in fabrication. Herein, we demonstrate a supramolecular complexation strategy to assemble small molecular platinum (Pt) compounds into well-defined nanocapsules with high drug loading, acidity-sensitivity, and tunable Pt releasing profile. The design utilizes poly(ethylene glycol)-dendritic polylysine-G4/amides to complex with Pt compounds, forming stable nanocapsules with diameters approximately ∼20 nm and membrane thickness around several nanometers. The stability, drug content, and release profiles are tunable by tailoring the dendritic structure. The designated polymer-Pt nanocapsules, PEG-G4/MSA-Pt, showed sustained blood retention, preferential tumor accumulation, enhanced cellular uptake, lysosomal drug release, and nuclear delivery capability. PEG-G4/MSA-Pt showed enhanced antitumor efficacy compared to free cisplatin and other nanocapsules, which stopped the progression of both A549 cell xenografts and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) of hepatocellular carcinoma on a mice tumor model. Thus, we believe this strategy is promising for developing Pt-based nanomedicine for cancer drug delivery.
