A proresolving peptide nanotherapy for site-specific treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. (A,B) Schematic illustration of engineering of a ROS-responsive peptide nanotherapy (AON) (A) and targeted treatment of colitis (B). (C,D) TEM (C) and SEM (D) images of AON. Scale bars, 200 nm. (E) Selective accumulation of AON in the inflamed colons of mice with acute colitis. (F) Representative mini-endoscopic images of colons from colitic mice at day 7 after different treatments. ON, blank nanoparticles based on the ROS-responsive material of PBAP-conjugated β-CD (i.e., OxbCD); APN, Ac2-26-containing nanoparticles based on a non-responsive polymer PLGA.
