Construction and proposed mechanism of (DOX+ACE)@ZIF‐8 against the hepatic in‐situ tumor models. A, The preparation of metal‐organic frameworks nanocarrier‐based (DOX+ACE)@ZIF‐8 through one‐pot process. B, High tumor accumulation of (DOX+ACE)@ZIF‐8 through single‐dose percutaneous intratumoral injection under ultrasound guidance, followed by the cellular internalization via endocytosis pathways. At the tumor site, pH‐responsive released ACE inhibits CAIX from catalyzing CO2 to HCO3 and H+ for “desensitizing” the cancer cells to the pH changes, thus enhancing the anticancer activity of DOX
