Potential of a CO2-Responsive supramolecular drug-carrier system as a safer and more effective treatment for cancer by Enyew Alemayehu Bayle, Fasih Bintang Ilhami, Jem-Kun Chen, Chih-Chia Cheng

“…Surprisingly, in CO2-rich culture medium, Cy-R6G-loaded nanogels exhibit a further significant enhancement in cytotoxicity against cancer cells, and remain non-cytotoxic to normal cells. More importantly, a series of in vitro experiments demonstrated that compared to pristine culture medium, CO2-rich culture medium promotes more rapid selective internalization of Cy-R6G-loaded nanogels into cancer cells through cytosine-mediated macropinocytosis and thus accelerates the induction of apoptosis. …”
