Metal–organic framework (MOF)‐based drug delivery systems have demonstrated values in oncotherapy. Current research endeavors are centralized on the functionality enrichment of featured MOF materials with designed versatility for synergistic multimodal treatments. Here, inspired by the multifarious biological functions including ferroptosis pattern, porphyrins, and cancer cell membrane (CCM) camouflage technique, novel multi‐biomimetic MOF nanocarriers from microfluidics are prepared. The Fe3+, meso‐tetra(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphine and oxaliplatin prodrug are incorporated into one MOF nano‐system (named FeTPt), which is further cloaked by CCM to obtain a “Trojan Horse”‐like vehicle (FeTPt@CCM). Owing to the functionalization with CCM, FeTPt@CCM can target and accumulate at the tumor site via homologous binding. After being internalized by cancer cells, FeTPt@CCM can be activated by a Fenton‐like reaction as well as a redox reaction between Fe3+ and glutathione and hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radical and oxygen. Thus, the nano‐platform effectively initiates ferroptosis and improves photodynamic therapy performance. Along with the Pt‐drug chemotherapy, the nano‐platform exhibits synergistic multimodal actions for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation in vitro and suppressing tumor growth in vivo. These features indicate that such a versatile biomimetic MOF delivery system from microfluidics has great potential for synergistic cancer treatment.

Curcumin (Cur) can be used as a photosensitizer in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer, but its low bioavailability limits further clinical application. A mesoporous silica-based drug delivery system (PEGylated mesoporous silica nanoparticles, MSN-PEG@Cur) was designed to solve the problem. The successful preparation of MSN-PEG@Cur was characterized by several physico-chemistry techniques. The endocytosis, ROS generation and in vitro anti-cancer efficacy of MSN-PEG@Cur were evaluated in detail step by step. The results indicated that MSN-PEG@Cur could be effectively endocytosed into cells and release Cur, which can promptly generate ROS upon irradiation, achieving effective PDT in cancer treatment. This MSNs-based drug delivery system provides an alternative strategy for Cur loading and PDT of cancer.
