Overview

**TPE-1(Hyd-DOX)-DEVD** is a preclinical self-reporting theranostic nanoprobe developed at Soochow University for activatable cancer chemotherapy and noninvasive monitoring of treatment response. The construct combines a tetraphenylethylene aggregation-induced-emission fluorogen, a DEVD caspase-3-responsive peptide sequence, and doxorubicin attached through an acid-labile hydrazone linker. In the acidic tumor microenvironment, doxorubicin is released and induces cytotoxicity primarily through DNA intercalation and topoisomerase II inhibition. Apoptosis-associated caspase-3 subsequently cleaves the DEVD motif, promoting aggregation and enhanced tetraphenylethylene fluorescence; the TPE-to-doxorubicin fluorescence ratio is intended to report drug activation and therapeutic response in real time. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies reported tumor-growth suppression and biocompatibility.
