• The combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (chemoradiotherapy) is a promising strategy, extensively studied and applied clinically. Meanwhile, radiosensitizers play an important role in improving clinical radiotherapy therapeutic efficacy. There are still some disadvantages in practical applications, because radiosensitizers and drugs are difficult to deliver spatio-temporally to tumor sites and work simultaneously with low efficiency for DNA damage and repair inhibition, leading to an inferior synergistic effect. Herein, a suitable radiosensitizer of nano-enabled coordination platform (NP@PVP) with bismuth nitrate and cisplatin prodrug is developed by a simple synthetic route to improve the effectiveness of chemo-radiation synergistic therapy. When NP@PVP is internalized by a tumor cell, the bismuth in NP@PVP can sensitize radiation therapy (RT) by increasing the amount of reactive oxygen species generation to enhance DNA damage after X-ray radiation; meanwhile, the cisplatin in NP@PVP can inhibit DNA damage repair with spatio-temporal synchronization. NP@PVP is demonstrated to exhibit higher sensitization enhancement ratio (SER) of 2.29 and excellent tumor ablation capability upon irradiation in vivo in comparison with cisplatin (SER of 1.78). Our strategy demonstrates that the RT sensitization effect of bismuth and cisplatin based NP@PVP has great anticancer potential in chemo-radiation synergistic therapy, which is promising for clinical application.
