Abstract
With increasing proportion of the elderly in the population, age-related diseases (ARD) lead to a considerable healthcare burden to society. Prevention and treatment of ARD can decrease the negative impact of aging and the burden of disease. The aging rate is closely associated with the production of high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS-mediated oxidative stress in aging triggers aging-related changes through lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA oxidation. Antioxidants can control autoxidation by scavenging free radicals or inhibiting their formation, thereby reducing oxidative stress. Benefiting from significant advances in nanotechnology, a large number of nanomaterials with ROS-scavenging capabilities have been developed. ROS-scavenging nanomaterials can be divided into two categories: nanomaterials as carriers for delivering ROS-scavenging drugs, and nanomaterials themselves with ROS-scavenging activity. This study summarizes the current advances in ROS-scavenging nanomaterials for prevention and treatment of ARD, highlights the potential mechanisms of the nanomaterials used and discusses the challenges and prospects for their applications.

Abstract
Efficiently removing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by various factors on the ocular surface is a promising strategy for preventing the development of dry eye disease (DED). The currently available eye drops for DED treatment are palliative, short-lived and frequently administered due to the short precorneal residence time. Here, we developed nanozyme-based eye drops for DED by exploiting borate-mediated dynamic covalent complexation between n-FeZIF-8 nanozymes (n-Z(Fe)) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to overcome these problems. The resultant formulation (PBnZ), which has dual-ROS scavenging abilities and prolonged corneal retention can effectively reduce oxidative stress, thereby providing an excellent preventive effect to alleviate DED. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that PBnZ could eliminate excess ROS through both its multienzyme-like activity and the ROS-scavenging activity of borate bonds. The positively charged nanozyme-based eye drops displayed a longer precorneal residence time due to physical adhesion and the dynamic borate bonds between phenyboronic acid and PVA or o-diol with mucin. The in vivo results showed that eye drops could effectively alleviate DED. These dual-function PBnZ nanozyme-based eye drops can provide insights into the development of novel treatment strategies for DED and other ROS-mediated inflammatory diseases and a rationale for the application of nanomaterials in clinical settings.

Abstract
Keratitis, an inflammation of the cornea caused by bacterial or fungal infections, is one of the leading causes of severe visual disability and blindness. Keratitis treatment requires both the prevention of infection and the reduction of inflammation. However, owing to their limited therapeutic functions, in addition to the ocular barrier, existing conventional medications are characterized by poor efficacy and low bioavailability, requiring high dosages or frequent topical treatment, which represents a burden on patients and increases the risk of side effects. In this study, manganese oxide nanocluster-decorated graphdiyne nanosheets (MnOx/GDY) are developed as multienzyme-like nanozymes for the treatment of infectious keratitis and loaded into hyaluronic acid and polymethyl methacrylate-based ocular microneedles (MGMN). MGMN not only exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects owing to its multienzyme-like activities, including oxidase, peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase mimics but also crosses the ocular barrier and shows increased bioavailability via the microneedle system. Moreover, MGMN is demonstrated to eliminate pathogens, prevent biofilm formation, reduce inflammation, alleviate ocular hypoxia, and promote the repair of corneal epithelial damage in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experiments, thus providing a better therapeutic effect than commercial ophthalmic voriconazole, with no obvious microbial resistance or cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Removal of invasive bacteria is critical for proper wound healing. This task is challenging because these bacteria can trigger intense oxidative stress and gradually develop antibiotic resistance. Here, the use of a multienzyme-integrated nanocatalytic platform is reported for efficient bacterial clearance and mitigation of inflammatory responses, constructed by physically adsorbing natural superoxide dismutase (SOD), in situ reduction of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), and incorporation of a DNAzyme on 2D NiCoCu metal-organic frameworks (DNAzyme/SOD/Au@NiCoCu MOFs, termed DSAM), which can adapt to infected wounds. O2 and H2O2 replenishment is achieved and alleviated the hypoxic microenvironment using the antioxidant properties of SOD. The H2O2 produced during the reaction is decomposed by peroxidase (POD)-like activity enhanced by Au NPs and DNAzyme, releasing highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill the bacteria. In addition, it possesses glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity, which depletes GSH and prevents •OH loss. Systematic antimicrobial tests are performed against bacteria using this multienzyme-integrated nanoplatform. A dual-mode strategy involving natural enzyme-enhanced antioxidant capacity and artificial enzyme-enhanced •OH release to develop an efficient and novel enzyme-integrated therapeutic platform is integrated.

Abstract
Superbug infections and transmission have become major challenges in the contemporary medical field. The development of novel antibacterial strategies to efficiently treat bacterial infections and conquer the problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is extremely important. In this paper, a bimetallic CuCo-doped nitrogen-carbon nanozyme-functionalized hydrogel (CuCo/NC-HG) has been successfully constructed. It exhibits photoresponsive-enhanced enzymatic effects under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation (808 nm) with strong peroxidase (POD)-like and oxidase (OXD)-like activities. Upon NIR irradiation, CuCo/NC-HG possesses photodynamic activity for producing singlet oxygen(1O2), and it also has a high photothermal conversion effect, which not only facilitates the elimination of bacteria but also improves the efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and accelerates the consumption of GSH. CuCo/NC-HG shows a lower hemolytic rate and better cytocompatibility than CuCo/NC and possesses a positive charge and macroporous skeleton for restricting negatively charged bacteria in the range of ROS destruction, strengthening the antibacterial efficiency. Comparatively, CuCo/NC and CuCo/NC-HG have stronger bactericidal ability against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli (AmprE. coli) through destroying the cell membranes with a negligible occurrence of AMR. More importantly, CuCo/NC-HG plus NIR irradiation can exhibit satisfactory bactericidal performance in the absence of H2O2, avoiding the toxicity from high-concentration H2O2. In vivo evaluation has been conducted using a mouse wound infection model and histological analyses, and the results show that CuCo/NC-HG upon NIR irradiation can efficiently suppress bacterial infections and promote wound healing, without causing inflammation and tissue adhesions.

Abstract
Developing nanozymes with effective reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability is a promising approach for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Nonetheless, numerous nanozymes lie in their relatively low antioxidant activity. In certain circumstances, some of these nanozymes may even instigate ROS production to cause side effects. To address these challenges, a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu MOF) nanozyme is designed and applied for OA treatment. Cu MOF exhibits comprehensive and powerful activities (i.e., SOD-like, CAT-like, and •OH scavenging activities) while negligible pro-oxidant activities (POD- and OXD-like activities). Collectively, Cu MOF nanozyme is more effective at scavenging various types of ROS than other Cu-based antioxidants, such as commercial CuO and Cu single-atom nanozyme. Density functional theory calculations also confirm the origin of its outstanding enzyme-like activities. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that Cu MOF nanozyme exhibits an excellent ability to decrease intracellular ROS levels and relieve hypoxic microenvironment of synovial macrophages. As a result, Cu MOF nanozyme can modulate the polarization of macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 subtype, and inhibit the degradation of cartilage matrix for efficient OA treatment. The excellent biocompatibility and protective properties of Cu MOF nanozyme make it a valuable asset in treating ROS-related ailments beyond OA.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid potassium salt (PFOS) residues in ecosystems over long periods are of increasing concern and require a selective and stable optical probe for monitoring. Herein, two functional groups (-F and -NH2) with opposite electronic modulation ability were introduced into Fe/Zn-BDC (denoted as Fe/Zn-BDC-F4 and Fe/Zn-BDC-NH2, respectively) to tailor the coordination environment of the Fe metal center, further regulating the nanozyme activity efficiently. Notably, the peroxidase-like activity is related to the coordination environment of the nanozymes and obeys the following order Fe/Zn-BDC-F4 > Fe/Zn-BDC > Fe/Zn-BDC-NH2. Based on the excellent peroxidase-like activity of Fe/Zn-BDC-F4 and the characteristics of being rich in F atoms, a rapid, selective, and visible colorimetric method was developed for detecting PFOS with a detection limit of 100 nM. The detection mechanism was attributed to various interaction forces between Fe/Zn-BDC-F4 and PFOS, including electrostatic interactions, Fe-S interactions, Fe-F bonds, and halogen bonds. This work not only offers new insights into the atomic-scale rational design of highly active nanozymes but also presents a novel approach to detecting PFOS in environmental samples.

Abstract
Chronic wounds of significant severity and acute injuries are highly vulnerable to fungal infections, drastically impeding the expected wound healing trajectory. The clinical use of antifungal therapeutic drug is hampered by poor solubility, high toxicity and adverse reactions, thereby necessitating the urgent development of novel antifungal therapy strategy. Herein, this study proposes a new strategy to enhance the bioactivity of small-molecule antifungal drugs based on multifunctional metal nanozyme engineering, using amphotericin B (AmB) as an example. AmB-decorated gold nanoparticles (AmB@AuNPs) are synthesized by a facile one-pot reaction strategy, and the AmB@AuNPs exhibit superior peroxidase (POD)-like enzyme activity, with maximal reaction rates (Vmax ) 3.4 times higher than that of AuNPs for the catalytic reaction of H2 O2 . Importantly, the enzyme-like activity of AuNPs significantly enhanced the antifungal properties of AmB, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of AmB@AuNPs against Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) W303 are reduced by 1.6-fold and 50-fold, respectively, as compared with AmB alone. Concurrent in vivo studies conducted on fungal-infected wounds in mice underscored the fundamentally superior antifungal ability and biosafety of AmB@AuNPs. The proposed strategy of engineering antifungal drugs with nanozymes has great potential for enhanced therapy of fungal infections and related diseases.

Singh S. Antioxidant nanozymes as next-generation therapeutics to free radical-mediated inflammatory diseases: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129374. [PMID: 38242389 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Recent developments in exploring the biological enzyme mimicking properties in nanozymes have opened a separate avenue, which provides a suitable alternative to the natural antioxidants and enzymes. Due to high and tunable catalytic activity, low cost of synthesis, easy surface modification, and good biocompatibility, nanozymes have garnered significant research interest globally. Several inorganic nanomaterials have been investigated to exhibit catalytic activities of some of the key natural enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase, peroxidase, and oxidase, etc. These nanozymes are used for diverse biomedical applications including therapeutics, imaging, and biosensing in various cells/tissues and animal models. In particular, inflammation-related diseases are closely associated with reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species, and therefore effective antioxidants could be excellent therapeutics due to their free radical scavenging ability. Although biological enzymes and other artificial antioxidants could perform well in scavenging the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, however, suffer from several drawbacks such as the requirement of strict physiological conditions for enzymatic activity, limited stability in the environment beyond their optimum pH and temperature, and high cost of synthesis, purification, and storage make then unattractive for broad-spectrum applications. Therefore, this review systematically and comprehensively presents the free radical-mediated evolution of various inflammatory diseases (inflammatory bowel disease, mammary gland fibrosis, and inflammation, acute injury of the liver and kidney, mammary fibrosis, and cerebral ischemic stroke reperfusion) and their mitigation by various antioxidant nanozymes in the biological system. The mechanism of free radical scavenging by antioxidant nanozymes under in vitro and in vivo experimental models and catalytic efficiency comparison with corresponding natural enzymes has also been presented.

Abstract
The high efficiency and specificity of enzymes make them play an important role in life activities, but the high cost, low stability and high sensitivity of natural enzymes severely restrict their application. In recent years, nanozymes have become convincing alternatives to natural enzymes, finding utility across diverse domains, including biosensing, antibacterial interventions, cancer treatment, and environmental preservation. Nanozymes are characterized by their remarkable attributes, encompassing high stability, cost-effectiveness and robust catalytic activity. Within the contemporary scientific landscape, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered considerable attention, primarily due to their versatile applications, spanning catalysis. Notably, MOFs serve as scaffolds for the development of nanozymes, particularly in the context of bacterial detection and treatment. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent literature pertaining to MOFs and their pivotal role in bacterial detection and treatment. We explored the limitations and prospects for the development of MOF-based nanozymes as a platform for bacterial detection and therapy, and anticipate their great potential and broader clinical applications in addressing medical challenges.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising approach to cancer treatment, which can break the intracellular redox state balance and result in severe oxidative damage to biomolecules and organelles with the advantages of being less dependent on external stimulation, having deep tissue-healing abilities, and being resistant to drug resistance. There is considerable interest in developing CDT drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity. In this study, a new guanidinium-based biological metal covalent organic framework (Bio-MCOF), GZHMU-1@Mo, is rationally designed and synthesized as a multifunctional nanocatalyst in tumor cells for enhanced CDT. The DFT calculation and experimental results showed that due to the ability of MoO42- ion to promote electron transfer and increase the redox active site, Cu3 clusters and MoO42- ions in GZHMU-1@Mo can synergistically catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from oxygen and H2O2 in tumor cells, as well as degrade intracellular reducing substances, GSH and NADH, so as to disrupt the redox balance in tumor cells. Moreover, GZHMU-1@Mo exhibits a potent killing effect on tumor cells under both normal oxygen and anaerobic conditions. Further in vitro and in vivo antiproliferation studies revealed that the GZHMU-1@Mo nanoagent displays a remarkable antiproliferation effect and effectively inhibits tumor growth. Taken together, our study provides an insightful reference benchmark for the rational design of Bio-MCOF-based nanoagents with efficient CDT.

Abstract
Nanozyme activity relies on surface electron transfer processes. Notably, the piezoelectric effect plays a vital role in influencing nanozyme activity by generating positive and negative charges on piezoelectric materials' surfaces. This article comprehensively reviews the potential mechanisms and practical applications of regulating nanozyme activity through the piezoelectric effect. The article first elucidates how the piezoelectric effect enables nanozymes to exhibit catalytic activity. It is highlighted that the positive and negative charges produced by this effect directly participate in redox reactions, leading to the conversion of materials from an inactive to an active state. Moreover, the piezoelectric field generated can enhance nanozyme activity by accelerating electron transfer rates or reducing binding energy between nanozymes and substrates. Practical applications of piezoelectric nanozymes are explored in the subsequent section, including water pollutant degradation, bacterial disinfection, biological detection, and tumor therapy, which demonstrate the versatile potentials of the piezoelectric effect in nanozyme applications. The review concludes by emphasizing the need for further research into the catalytic mechanisms of piezoelectric nanozymes, suggesting expanding the scope of catalytic types and exploring new application areas. Furthermore, the promising direction of synergistic catalytic therapy is discussed as an inspiring avenue for future research.

Abstract
Although nanozymes with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics have aroused great interest in the biosensing field, the challenge is to keep high enzyme-like activity of the nanozyme after the modification of biomolecules onto nanozymes. Herein, a functional zonation strategy of a heterodimer nanozyme was proposed to tackle the challenge and further construct a multiple chemiluminescence (CL) imaging immunoassay. Here Fe3O4-Au as a heterodimer nanozyme model was divided into two zones, in which Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were regarded as a nanozyme zone and AuNPs were defined as an antibody immobilization zone. A signal amplification probe (Fe3O4-Au-Ab2) was prepared by modifying the secondary antibody (Ab2) on AuNPs of the Fe3O4-Au heterodimer owing to the Au-S bond. The exposed Fe3O4 of the Fe3O4-Au-Ab2 probe shows very high peroxidase-like activity and can efficiently catalyze H2O2-luminol to produce strong CL imaging signals for multiple antigens detection. Using chicken interleukin-4 (ChIL-4) and chicken gamma interferon (ChIFN-γ) as models, the proposed CL imaging immunoassay shows wide linear ranges (0.005-0.10 ng/mL for both ChIL-4 and ChIFN-γ) and low detection limits (0.58 pg/mL for ChIL-4, 0.47 pg/mL for ChIFN-γ) with the characteristics of high sensitivity, high specificity, and good stability. This work provides a promising functional zonation concept for nanozymes to construct new types of nanozyme probes for immunoassay of multiple biomolecules.

Abstract
Building bridges among different types of catalysts to construct cascades is a highly worthwhile pursuit, such as chemo-, bio-, and chemo-bio cascade reactions. Cascade reactions can improve the reaction efficiency and selectivity while reducing steps of separation and purification, thereby promoting the development of "green chemistry". However, compatibility issues in cascade reactions pose significant constraints on the development of this field, particularly concerning the compatibility of diverse catalyst types, reaction conditions, and reaction rates. Metal-organic framework micro/nano reactors (MOF-MNRs) are porous crystalline materials formed by the self-assembly coordination of metal sites and organic ligands, possessing a periodic network structure. Due to the uniform pore size with the capability of controlling selective transfer of substances as well as protecting active substances and the organic-inorganic parts providing reactive microenvironment, MOF-MNRs have attracted significant attention in cascade reactions in recent years. In this Perspective, we first discuss how to address compatibility issues in cascade reactions using MOF-MNRs, including structural design and synthetic strategies. Then we summarize the research progress on MOF-MNRs in various cascade reactions. Finally, we analyze the challenges facing MOF-MNRs and potential breakthrough directions and opportunities for the future.

Abstract
Barbecue smoke, car exhaust, cigarette smoke, and other waste gases contain toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Herein, CeO2-based porous carbonaceous frameworks (CeO2 PCFs) were explored as antioxidant nanozymes to scavenge ROS and absorb benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). Using cerium-based frameworks as the precursors, CeO2 PCFs were constructed by high-temperature calcination. Due to excellent superoxide dismutase-like and catalase-like activity, CeO2 PCFs could effectively eliminate superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide. The 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) free radical scavenging assay had substantiated free radical scavenging ability of CeO2 PCFs. In addition, with a large surface area and porous structure, CeO2 PCFs could adsorb B[a]P efficiently. The designed CeO2 PCFs may provide a new opportunity as scavengers of ROS and absorbents of PAHs in some harmful gases.

Abstract
A series of copper(II) complexes with the formula [Cu2+Hy(x)Car%] varying the molecular weight (MW) of Hyaluronic acid (Hy, x = 200 or 700 kDa) conjugated with carnosine (Car) present at different loading were synthesized and characterized via different spectroscopic techniques. The metal complexes behaved as Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) mimics and showed some of the most efficient reaction rate values produced using a synthetic and water-soluble copper(II)-based SOD mimic reported to date. The increase in the percentage of Car moieties parallels the enhancement of the I50 value determined via the indirect method of Fridovich. The presence of the non-functionalized Hy OH groups favors the scavenger activity of the copper(II) complexes with HyCar, recalling similar behavior previously found for the copper(II) complexes with Car conjugated using β-cyclodextrin or trehalose. In keeping with the new abilities of SOD1 to activate protective agents against oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis diseases, Cu2+ interaction with HyCar promotes the nuclear translocation of erythroid 2-related factor that regulates the expressions of target genes, including Heme-Oxigenase-1, thus stimulating an antioxidant response in osteoblasts subjected to an inflammatory/oxidative insult.
