We introduce ruthenosomes, a fusion of liposomal and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating properties meticulously engineered as potent ferroptosis inducers (FINs), marking a significant advancement in metallodrug design for cancer therapy. Formed through the self-assembly of oleate-conjugated ruthenium complexes, these ruthenosomes exhibit exceptional cellular uptake, selectively accumulating in mitochondria and causing substantial disruption. This targeted mitochondrial damage significantly elevates ROS levels, triggering autophagy and selectively activating ferritinophagy. Together, these processes sensitize cancer cells to ferroptosis. In vivo, ruthenosomes effectively suppress colorectal tumor growth, underscoring their therapeutic potential. Our study pioneers a design strategy that transforms ruthenium complexes into liposome-like structures capable of inducing ferroptosis independent of light activation. By leveraging ruthenosomes as multifunctional nanocarriers, this research offers a versatile and powerful platform for ROS-mediated, ferroptosis-driven cancer cell eradication.
