The use of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to target cancer cells has become a hot topic in tumor therapy. Although ROS has strong cytotoxicity against tumor cells, the key issue currently is how to generate a large amount of ROS within tumor cells. Organic/inorganic hybrid nanoreactor materials combine the advantages of organic and inorganic components and can amplify cancer treatment by increasing targeting and material self-action. The multifunctional organic / inorganic hybrid nanoreactor is helpful to overcome the shortcomings of current reactive oxygen species in cancer treatment. It can realize the combination of in situ dynamic therapy and immunotherapy strategies, and has a synergistic anti-tumor effect. This paper reviews the research progress of organic/inorganic hybrid nanoreactor materials using tumor components to amplify reactive oxygen species for cancer treatment. The article reviews the tumor treatment strategies of nanohybrids from the perspectives of cancer cells, immune cells, tumor microenvironment, as well as 3D printing and electrospinning techniques, which are different from traditional nanomaterial technologies, and will arouse interest among scientists in tumor therapy and nanomedicine.

Metabolic heterogeneity is one of the characteristics of tumour cells. In order to adapt to the tumour microenvironment of hypoxia, acidity and nutritional deficiency, tumour cells have undergone extensive metabolic reprogramming. Metabolites involved in tumour cell metabolism are also very different from normal cells, such as a large number of lactate and adenosine. Metabolites play an important role in regulating the whole tumour microenvironment. Taking metabolites as the target, it aims to change the metabolic pattern of tumour cells again, destroy the energy balance it maintains, activate the immune system, and finally kill tumour cells. In this paper, the regulatory effects of metabolites such as lactate, glutamine, arginine, tryptophan, fatty acids and adenosine were reviewed, and the related targeting strategies of nano-medicines were summarised, and the future therapeutic strategies of nano-drugs were discussed. The abnormality of tumour metabolites caused by tumour metabolic remodelling not only changes the energy and material supply of tumour, but also participates in the regulation of tumour-related signal pathways, which plays an important role in the survival, proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumour cells. Regulating the availability of local metabolites is a new aspect that affects tumour progress. (The graphical abstract is by Figdraw). Metabolic heterogeneity is one of the important characteristics of tumour cells, and the metabolites of tumour cells are very different from those of normal cells. Lactate, fatty acids, glutamine, arginine, tryptophan and adenosine are all important metabolites in tumour metabolism. Nano-medicines are used to regulate tumour metabolites, affecting the energy and material supply of tumour cells, thus achieving therapeutic effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
