Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for malignant cancers, but most chemotherapeutic drugs are poorly targeted, highly toxic and expensive, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment results for cancer patients. Therefore, intelligent drug delivery platforms are needed to be explored urgently to enhance drug treatment and reduce toxicity on normal cells. Nucleic acid nanomaterials are a class of nanomaterials developed on the basis of the “base complementary pairing principle”, which have the advantages of good programmability, high stability, good biocompatibility, and strong targeting. Herein, we present a simple Sgc8 aptamer-modified nucleic acid nanomaterial (Sgc8NM) for the targeted delivery of Doxorubicin (Dox), a widely used chemotherapy drug in clinic. Studies have shown the Sgc8NM-Dox performed a precise treatment effect on target cells and low toxicity on non-target cells, providing a new strategy for the potential application of nanocomposite drugs in targeted cancer delivery.
