Intranasal administration of nanodrugs presents a distinct advantage, as it can bypass the BBB and deliver drugs directly to the brain with rapid absorption, making it especially suitable for the treatment of acute epilepsy and status epilepticus. In response to this need, we have designed and synthesized an electrically responsive nanodrug for intranasal delivery that releases the antiepileptic drug in response to abnormal electrical activity during seizures. By capitalizing on the fast brain-targeting capability of intranasal administration, these nanoparticles quickly penetrate the brain and react to the irregular electrical currents generated by seizures, facilitating rapid drug release.

The core of multispiked platinum-manganese oxide (termed as Pt@MnO<sub>2</sub>) functions dually as a Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) agonist and an inducer of immunogenic cell death (ICD) in response to the tumor microenvironment, triggering inflammatory cytokine and actionable tumor antigens release.
