Popis: The clinical utility of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists has been limited due to poor tumour-targeting and unwanted toxicity following systemic delivery. Here we describe a robust tumour-targeted STING agonist, ZnCDA, formed by the encapsulation of bacterial-derived cyclic dimeric adenosine monophosphate (CDA) in nanoscale coordination polymers. Intravenously injected ZnCDA prolongs CDA circulation and efficiently targets tumours, mediating robust anti-tumour effects in a diverse set of preclinical cancer models at a single dose. Our findings reveal that ZnCDA enhances tumour accumulation by disrupting endothelial cells in the tumour vasculature. ZnCDA preferentially targets tumour-associated macrophages to modulate antigen processing and presentation and subsequent priming of an anti-tumour T-cell response. ZnCDA reinvigorates the anti-tumour activity of both radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in immunologically 'cold' pancreatic and glioma tumour models, offering a promising combination strategy for the treatment of intractable human cancers.
