Inflammation is mediated by various pathogenic factors including elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glucocorticoids are widely used to reduce inflammation in many diseases, but their bioavailability is limited by rapid metabolism, poor water-solubility, and harmful side-effects. We here synthesize a PEGylated, phenylboronic acid-modified L-DOPA pro-antioxidant (pPAD) that can self-assemble into nanoparticles (pPADN) for loading of a model glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex) through 1,3-diol/phenylboronic acid chemistry and hydrophobic interaction for more effective treatment of inflammation. Upon exposure to ROS, pPADN convert into the active form of L-DOPA, followed by a cascade of oxidative reactions to transform into antioxidative melanin-like materials. Concomitantly, the structural transformation of pPADN triggers specific release of Dex, along with the acidic pH of inflammatory tissue. In a rat model of osteoarthritis, Dex-loaded pPADN markedly mitigate synovial inflammation, suppress joint destruction and cartilage matrix degradation, with negligible in vivo toxicity. Moreover, in-situ structural transformation makes pPADN suitable for noninvasive monitoring of therapeutic effects as a photoacoustic imaging contrast agent. Overall, this antioxidative pPADN-based dual-responsive anti-inflammatory delivery system offers a precise and potent theranostic strategy for inflammatory diseases.
