Abstract
Ferroptosis is a nonapoptotic form of cell death discovered in 2012. Noninvasive treatments regulating ferroptosis are important for a wide range of diseases. Among the noninvasive treatments, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has become promising due to its strong tissue penetration and few side effects. In recent years, targeted drug delivery platforms constructed on the basis of SDT have provided an efficient delivery mode for the regulation of ferroptosis. Based on the latest research reports, this Perspective introduces the basic mechanism of SDT and the influencing factors of therapeutic effects, elucidates the significance of ferroptosis-targeted SDT, and summarizes the recent studies on ferroptosis-targeted SDT through different pathways. We also present innovative studies of composite ultrasound-responsive drug delivery platforms. Finally, a brief summary and outlook based on current ferroptosis-targeted SDT are presented.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
