Abstract

Mitochondrial targeting of drugs largely relies on delocalized lipophilic cations. Nevertheless, mitochondrial membrane potentials in cancer cells are inconstant, which could compromise stable mitochondrial targeting. Herein, we further validated a mitochondrial temperature-dependent drug delivery strategy in vivo. Thermoresponsive drug delivery to mitochondria may represent a promising strategy for cancer therapy.
