Gut dysbiosis is involved in the pathogenesis of energy metabolic disorders and represents a new strategy for treating these ailments. In this study, a pH/gut microflora dual stimuli‐responsive system, berberine (BBR)‐CS/PT‐NP with colon‐homing and microbiota‐targeting characteristics, is investigated to enhance the interaction between BBR and the gut microbiota. It provides a novel proof‐of‐concept for drug delivery targeting gut microbiota to ameliorate metabolic diseases.
