The invention belongs to the field of medicines, and relates to a tea polyphenol-metal nanoparticle, a drug-loaded nanoparticle as well as a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to application of dual response of tea polyphenol through pH and glutathione to regulation of apoptosis/ferroptosis pathway in the anti-tumor research aspect. The invention provides a drug carrying system for delivering chemotherapeutic drugs, namely tea polyphenol-metal nanoparticles, aiming at cancer treatment. The tea polyphenol-metal nanoparticles are obtained by dropwise adding a metal ion storage solution into an EGCG storage solution, stirring, centrifuging and collecting precipitates; and the metal ion storage liquid and an anti-tumor drug are dropwise added into the EGCG storage liquid, the precipitate is stirred, centrifuged, and collected to obtain the drug-loaded nanoparticles. According to the medicine carrying system, the anti-tumor medicine and metal elements are simultaneously delivered to tumor tissues and are taken by tumor cells, the tea polyphenol-metal nanoparticle structure is depolymerized under the conditions of weak acidity of tumors and high-level glutathione, free metal elements are released, and the anti-tumor medicine achieves the treatment effect.
