Therapeutics that can be activated by radiation in situ to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy are highly desirable. Herein, we explore 7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC), a biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol, as a radiosensitizer, exploiting its ability to propagate free radical chain reaction. Our studies show that 7-DHC can react with radiation-induced reactive oxygen species and in turn promote lipid peroxidation, double-strand breaks, and mitochondrial damage in cancer cells. For efficient delivery, 7-DHC is encapsulated into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles, forming 7-DHC@PLGA NPs. When tested in CT26 tumor bearing mice, 7-DHC@PLGA NPs significantly enhanced the efficacy of radiotherapy, causing complete tumor eradication in 30% of the treated animals. After treatment, 7-DHC is converted to cholesterol, causing no detectable side effects or hypercalcemia. 7-DHC@PLGA NPs represent a radiation-responsive sensitizer with great potential in clinical translation. 7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles are a promising radiosensitizer. 7-DHC reacts with radiation-induced radicals, in turn propagating radical chain reactions among polyunsaturated fatty acids. This leads to lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial damage, enhancing the efficacy of radiation therapy. After treatment, 7-DHC is metabolized to cholesterol, causing minimum side effects to the host.
