However, the clinical application of STING agonists is limited by poor pharmacokinetics, low cytosolic delivery efficiency, and immune-related adverse effects. To address these challenges, we developed STING polyproagonist nanoparticles (named GA+S@SR) by self-assembly of an amphiphilic diblock copolymer, P(OEGMA-<em>co</em>-GAMA)-<em>b</em>-PSSRMA, combined with POEGMA-<em>b</em>-P(DEAEMA-<em>co</em>-BMA). The galactose (GA) moieties enable targeted delivery to glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) on tumor cells, facilitating cellular internalization. The P(DEAEMA-<em>co</em>-BMA) segments promote endosomal escape, followed by the release of the disulfide-linked SR-717 in the cytosol under reducing conditions. This leads to robust activation of the STING pathway, resulting in dendritic cell maturation, enhanced T-cell infiltration, and potent antitumor immunity. Furthermore, when combined with an αPD-L1, this polyproagonist synergistically enhances the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, effectively inhibiting primary and distant tumors by counteracting immune evasion. This study highlights the potential of STING polyproagonists in achieving effective cytosolic delivery of STING agonists to boost antitumor immunity and overcome current limitations associated with STING immunotherapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8539,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"21 4","pages":"Article 101186"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148732685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Probiotics represent a promising therapeutic strategy due to their favorable biosafety profile and compatibility with daily health practices. Mechanistically, probiotics mitigate intestinal inflammation by suppressing pathogenic bacteria, modulating gut immunity and regulating microbial metabolites. However, their application is limited by low viability and poor intestinal colonization following oral administration. To address these challenges, advanced delivery strategies, including physical encapsulation, biohybrid nanocoating and chemical modifications, have been developed to enhance probiotic survival and targeted delivery. Despite these advances, current probiotic delivery systems face limitations, such as the impairment of microbial activity by surface modifications, deficiency in formulating intestinal digestion resistance strategies, lack of strategies for active colonization, and incomplete understanding of therapeutic mechanisms. By addressing these barriers, targeted and sustained research into innovative probiotic delivery systems may yield novel therapeutic approaches for IBD. This review indicates that relying solely on physical encapsulation or simple coating can no longer meet therapeutic demands. Future efforts must shift toward a functional synergy direction, developing multifunctional systems that protect probiotic viability without inhibiting their metabolic and physiological functions while integrating active colonization and targeted release. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the current incompleteness in understanding the therapeutic mechanisms of probiotics and calls for embedding mechanistic studies into the rational design of delivery systems. These insights provide a pathway for the field to move from determining whether live probiotics can be delivered to exploring how to achieve efficient, safe and functionally intact oral probiotic therapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8539,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"21 4","pages":"Article 101187"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148732205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The temporal dynamics of these mechanisms are emphasized, and the pivotal role of nanomaterials in this context is clarified.
