Advanced Nanoarchitectonics of Drug Delivery Systems with Pyroptosis Inhibition for Noncancerous Disease Treatment.

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a controlled and organized form of death regulated by genes, allowing cells to adapt to their environment. Pyroptosis, a recently discovered type of programmed cell death, differs from apoptosis and necrosis. It is characterized by the activation of caspase and the cleavage of gasdermin. Many studies have focused on understanding the mechanisms and roles of pyroptosis, particularly in cancer research. While inducing pyroptosis in tumor cells for cancer treatment is a major research focus, it is equally important to explore methods of reducing pyroptosis in noncancerous diseases. Recent advancements in drug delivery systems, specifically nanoarchitectonics, offer site‐specific targeting, prolonged drug circulation, enhanced efficacy, improved solubility, and better absorption. Although several reviews have described how nanoarchitectonics can trigger pyroptosis in tumor cells, little attention is given to their potential to inhibit pyroptosis in noncancerous diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to bridge this gap and explore the future directions for utilizing nanoarchitectonics as a powerful tool against noncancerous diseases. This review aims to delve into the recent progress made in nanoarchitectonics‐based advanced drug delivery systems for the treatment of noncancerous diseases by reducing pyroptosis, while also highlighting potential future perspectives in this emerging field.
