The treatment efficacy of anticancer drugs in complex physiological environments is still restricted by multi-drug resistance. To overcome this issue, a nanodrug system of HA-SS@CuS@ZIF-8@TPZ&TBMACN (HSCZTT) that breaks through the detoxification barrier for tirapazamine (TPZ) delivery was developed in this manuscript. In addition to the photothermal effect aroused by CuS in HSCZTT, which can damage tumour cells, TBMACN with photostable fluorescence in the aggregate state can also generate sufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) to destroy tumour cells. The continuous consumption of oxygen in PDT aggravates the hypoxic environment of tumours, which further activates the TPZ released in the acidic microenvironment of the tumour to achieve apoptosis of the tumour cells. The HSCZTT can not only target the CD44 receptor overexpressed on the surface of the cancer cell, but can also effectively consume a large amount of glutathione (GSH) through the disulphide bond-modified hyaluronic acid, which serves as a targeted disulphide bond, interfering with the detoxification barrier. Our finding presents a rational strategy to overcome multidrug resistance for the improved efficacy of anticancer drugs by the targeting of Hyaluronic acid (HA), release of the drug by the acid response of ZIF-8, breakthrough of the detoxification barrier, precise positioning of the drug release and combined treatment with phototherapy and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy.
