Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), using Fenton agents to generate highly cytotoxic ^•OH from H₂O₂ has been demonstrated as a powerful anticancer method. However, the insufficient endogenous H₂O₂ in tumor cells greatly limited its therapeutic effect. Herein, we prepared a pH-responsive β-lapachone-loaded iron-polyphenol nanocomplex (LIPN) through a one-pot method. β-Lapachone in LIPN selectively enhanced H₂O₂ concentration in tumor cells, and ferrous ions cascadely generated abundant cytotoxic ^•OH. Therefore, LIPN with cascade amplification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) showed high chemodynamic cytotoxicity in tumor cells, efficiently improving the expression of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and exerting strong immunogenic cell death (ICD). As a result, LIPN exhibited efficient tumor inhibition ability in 4T1 subcutaneous tumor model in vivo with great biocompatibility. Additionally, the infiltration of cytotoxic CD8⁺ T lymphocytes and inhibition of regulatory CD4⁺ FoxP3⁺ T lymphocytes in tumors demonstrated the activation of immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by LIPN-induced ICD. Therefore, this work provided a new approach to enhance ICD of chemodynamic therapy through selective cascade amplification of ROS in cancer cells.
