Abstract Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has shown promising antitumor effects in various malignant tumors. However, its application for glioblastoma (GBM) is significantly hindered by the challenge of delivering CDT agents across blood‐brain barrier (BBB) and achieving efficient tumor targeting. To overcome these obstacles, this study presents a novel DNA nanomachine (Cu@tFNAs‐G‐A NM) loading copper ions (Cu 2+ ) onto tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) functionalized with dual aptamers. The aptamers (GS24 BBB penetration AS1411 targeting) empowered Cu@tFNAs‐G‐A NM ability to effectively penetrate selectively accumulate cells. Upon internalization, loaded Cu reacted tumor‐overexpressed reductive glutathione (GSH) hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ), generating hydroxyl radicals (·OH) inducing cell death. Additionally, was found be rapidly cleared from brain normal tissues within 24 h, minimizing potential systemic toxic side effects. These findings demonstrate effective against GBM open up new avenues development targeted therapies GBM.
