Popis: The endogenous H2S-driven theranostic H2S-Gem has been invented. The theranostic prodrug H2S-Gem is selectively activated in cancer cells, releasing active gemcitabine with a simultaneous fluorescence turn-on. H2S-Gem selectively inhibited cancer cell growth compared to the mother chemotherapeutic gemcitabine. Overall, it is a unique protocol for tracking and transporting chemotherapeutic agents to tumor areas without the guidance of tumor-directive ligands.
