Design and efficacy of CP-DOX nanoparticles. (A) ELPs are conjugated to DOX at Cys residues via a heterobifunctional linker. (B) CP nanoparticles self-assemble to entrap hydrophobic DOX in the core and display the hydrophilic polypeptide on the corona. (C) DOX release from CP-DOX is pH-dependent. (D, E) CP-DOX formulation promotes DOX accumulation in the tumor while reducing its presence in heart tissue. (F) A single injection of CP-DOX outperforms free DOX in reducing tumor volume.
