Abstract
Keratomycosis, caused by pathogenic fungi, is an intractable blinding eye disease. Corneal penetration is an essential requirement for conventional antifungal medications to address keratomycosis. Due to the distinctive anatomical and physiological structure of the cornea, the therapeutic efficacy is hampered by the inadequate penetration capacity. Despite the emergence of diverse antifungal drug delivery systems and advanced antifungal nanomaterials, it has remained challenging to achieve corneal penetration over the past decade. This study fabricates a penetrative ionic organic molecular cage-based nanozyme (OMCzyme) for treating keratomycosis. The synthesis of OMCzyme involved two steps. Initially, the ionic OMC is synthesized by a [2+3] cycloimination reaction of triformylphloroglucinol and 2,3-diaminopropionic acid. Subsequently, OMCzyme is fabricated by coordination of Fe2⁺ with carboxyl anions and phenolic hydroxyls in the organic cage, and further deposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface of OMC-Fe complex. The as-prepared OMCzyme demonstrates excellent water dispersion, peroxidase-like activity, in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility, and corneal penetration. Notably, the nanozyme displays targeted antifungal activity, effectively combating Fusarium solani with negligible cytotoxicity toward human corneal epithelial cells. The hybrid mimic is further demonstrated to be effective in treating keratomycosis in mice, indicating the potential of OMCzyme for curing fungal infectious diseases.

Abstract
Nanozymes continue to attract considerable attention to minimise the dependence on expensive enzymes in bioassays, particularly in medical diagnostics. While there has been considerable effort directed towards developing different nanozymes, there has been limited progress in fabricating composite materials based on such nanozymes. One of the biggest gaps in the field is the control, tuneability, and on-demand catalytic response. Herein, a nanocomposite nanozymatic film that enables precise tuning of catalytic activity through stretching is demonstrated. In a systematic study, we developed poly(styrene-stat-n-butyl acrylate)/iron oxide-embedded porous silica nanoparticle (FeSiNP) nanocomposite films with controlled, highly tuneable, and on-demand activatable peroxidase-like activity. The polymer/FeSiNP nanocomposite was designed to undergo film formation at ambient temperature yielding a highly flexible and stretchable film, responsible for enabling precise control over the peroxidase-like activity. The fabricated nanocomposite films exhibited a prolonged FeSiNP dose-dependent catalytic response. Interestingly, the optimised composite films with 10 wt% FeSiNP exhibited a drastic change in the enzymatic activity upon stretching, which provides the nanocomposite films with an on-demand performance activation characteristic. This is the first report showing control over the nanozyme activity using a nanocomposite film, which is expected to pave the way for further research in the field leading to the development of system-embedded activatable sensors for diagnostic, food spoilage, and environmental applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as a type of nanomaterials with enzymatic catalytic activity, have demonstrated tremendous potential in cancer treatment owing to their unique biomedical properties. However, the heterogeneity of tumors and the complex tumor microenvironment pose significant challenges to the in vivo catalytic efficacy of traditional nanozymes. Drawing inspiration from natural enzymes, scientists are now using biomimetic design to build nanozymes from the ground up. This approach aims to replicate the key characteristics of natural enzymes, including active structures, catalytic processes, and the ability to adapt to the tumor environment. This achieves selective optimization of nanozyme catalytic performance and therapeutic effects. This review takes a deep dive into the use of these biomimetically designed nanozymes in cancer treatment. It explores a range of biomimetic design strategies, from structural and process mimicry to advanced functional biomimicry. A significant focus is on tweaking the nanozyme structures to boost their catalytic performance, integrating them into complex enzyme networks similar to those in biological systems, and adjusting functions like altering tumor metabolism, reshaping the tumor environment, and enhancing drug delivery. The review also covers the applications of specially designed nanozymes in pan-cancer treatment, from catalytic therapy to improved traditional methods like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy, specifically analyzing the anti-tumor mechanisms of different therapeutic combination systems. Through rational design, these biomimetically designed nanozymes not only deepen the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of nanozyme structure and performance but also adapt profoundly to tumor physiology, optimizing therapeutic effects and paving new pathways for innovative cancer treatment.

Abstract
Non-invasive therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have received wide attention due to their low toxicity and side effects, but their efficacy is limited by the tumor microenvironment (TME), and monotherapy cannot achieve satisfactory efficacy. In this work, a multifunctional nanoparticle co-assembled from oleanolic acid (OA), chlorin e6 (Ce6) and hemin was developed. The as-constructed nanoparticle named OCH with diameters of around 130 nm possessed good biostability, pH/GSH dual-responsive drug release properties, and remarkable cellular internalization and tumor accumulation capabilities. OCH exhibited prominent catalytic activities to generate •OH, deplete GSH, and produce O2 to overcome the hypoxia TME, thus potentiating the photodynamic and chemodynamic effect. In addition, OCH can induce the occurrence of ferroptosis in both ferroptosis-sensitive and ferroptosis-resistant cancer cells. The multi-pronged effects of OCH including hypoxia alleviation, GSH depletion, ferroptosis induction, CDT and PDT effects jointly facilitate excellent anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. Hence, this work will advance the development of safe and effective clinically transformable nanomedicine by employing clinically-applied agents to form drug combinations for efficient multi-pronged combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes have prominent catalytic activities with high stability as a substitute for unstable and expensive natural enzymes. However, most nanozymes are metal/inorganic nanomaterials, facing difficulty in clinical translation due to their unproven biosafety and limited biodegradability issues. Hemin, an organometallic porphyrin, was newly found to possess superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity along with previously known catalase (CAT) mimetic activity. However, hemin has poor bioavailability due to its low water solubility. Therefore, a highly biocompatible and biodegradable organic-based nanozyme system with SOD/CAT mimetic cascade reaction activity was developed by conjugating hemin to heparin (HepH) or chitosan (CS-H). Between them, Hep-H formed a smaller (<50 nm) and more stable self-assembled nanostructure and even possessed much higher and more stable SOD and CAT activities as well as the cascade reaction activity compared to CS-H and free hemin. Hep-H also showed a better cell protection effect against reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to CS-H and hemin in vitro. Furthermore, Hep-H was selectively delivered to the injured kidney upon intravenous administration at the analysis time point (24 h) and exhibited excellent therapeutic effects on an acute kidney injury model by efficiently removing ROS, reducing inflammation, and minimizing structural and functional damage to the kidney.

Abstract
Implementing parts per billion-level nitric oxide (NO) sensing at room temperature (RT) is still in extreme demand for monitoring inflammatory respiratory diseases. Herein, we have prepared a kind of core-shell structural Hemin-based nanospheres (Abbr.: Hemin-nanospheres, defined as HNSs) with the core of amorphous Hemin and the shell of acetone-derived carbonized polymer, whose core-shell structure was verified by XPS with argon-ion etching. Then, the HNS-assembled reduced graphene oxide composite (defined as HNS-rGO) was prepared for RT NO sensing. The acetone-derived carbonized polymer shell not only assists the formation of amorphous Hemin core by disrupting their crystallization to release more Fe-N4 active sites, but provides protection to the core. Owing to the unique core-shell structure, the obtained HNS-rGO based sensor exhibited superior RT gas sensing properties toward NO, including a relatively higher response (Ra/Rg = 5.8, 20 ppm), a lower practical limit of detection (100 ppb), relatively reliable repeatability (over 6 cycles), excellent selectivity, and much higher long-term stability (less than a 5% decrease over 120 days). The sensing mechanism has also been proposed based on charge transfer theory. The superior gas sensing properties of HNS-rGO are ascribed to the more Fe-N4 active sites available under the amorphous state of the Hemin core and to the physical protection by the shell of acetone-derived carbonized polymer. This work presents a facile strategy of constructing a high-performance carbon-based core-shell nanostructure for gas sensing.

Abstract
Hemin possesses great potential in eliminating organic pollutants due to its mild reaction condition, light-harvesting efficiency, and environmental friendliness. However, it has drawbacks such as being easy to aggregate and hard to recycle, and poor stability should be improved in practical application. Herein, the subject developed an electrospinning approach to enable the hemin particulates to be immobilized onto polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers stably. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was adopted as an oxidant in the system to simulate the enzymatic catalysis of hemin in an organism. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) analysis was employed to discuss the morphology, structure, and mechanism of the prepared n-hemin/PAN nanocomposite membranes, and 0.02 mmol L-1 of the rhodamine B (RhB) removal activity in different conditions was also verified with these membranes. The kinetic studies showed that n-hemin/PAN nanocomposite membranes maintained excellent properties both in adsorption and degradation. Around 42% RhB could be adsorbed in the dark, while 91% RhB decolorized under xenon lamp irradiation in 110 min, suggesting the catalytic performance of n-hemin/PAN was greatly driven by light irradiation. Differing from the axial coordinated hemin complexes, n-hemin/PAN would catalyze hydrogen peroxide into •OH radicals rather than •OOH and high-valent metal-oxo species. This work provides an effective way to support hemin as nanocomposite membranes, in which the molecular interaction between polymer and hemin made their light adsorption an obvious red shift.

Abstract
Explosives are powerful destructive weapons used by criminals and terrorists across the globe and their use within military installation sites poses serious environmental health problems. Existing colorimetric sensors for triacetone triperoxide (TATP) relies on detecting its hydrolysed H2O2 form. However, such detection strategy limits the practicability for on-site TATP sensing. In this work, we have developed a novel peroxidase mimic catalytic colorimetric sensor for direct recognition of TATP. Ceria (Ce)-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (CeFe3O4) were synthesized via the hot-injection organic synthetic route in the presence of metal precursors and organic ligands. Thereafter, the organic-capped CeFe3O4 nanoparticles were surface-functionalized with amphiphilic polymers (Amp-poly) to render the nanoparticle stable, compact and biocompatible. Thiolated γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) was adsorbed on the Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 nanocomposite (NC) surface to form a γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 NC. γ-CD served both as a receptor and as a catalytic enhancer for TATP. Hemin (H), used as a catalytic signal amplifier was adsorbed on the γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 NC surface to form a γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H NC that served as a functional nanozyme for the enhanced catalytic colorimetric detection of TATP. Under optimum experimental reaction conditions, TATP prepared in BIS-TRIS-Trisma Ac-KAc-NAc buffer, pH 3, was selectively and ultrasensitively detected without the need for acid hydrolysis based on the catalytic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 in the presence of the γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H hybrid nanozyme. The obtained limit of detection of ∼0.05 μg/mL when compared with other published probes demonstrated superior sensitivity. The developed peroxidase mimic γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H catalytic colorimetric sensor was successfully applied to detect TATP in soil, river water and tap water samples.

Effective fabrication of cellulose nanofibrils supported Pd nanoparticles as a novel nanozyme with peroxidase and oxidase-like activities for efficient dye degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 436:129165. [PMID: 35739705 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Nanozyme-based dye degradation methods are promising for the remediation of water pollution. Though Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) are known to act as nanozymes, their dye degradation capability has not been investigated. Low nanozyme activities, easy aggregation, difficulties in recovery and reuse are the major challenges in achieving this. For the first time, cellulose nanofibrils-supported PdNPs (PdNPs/PCNF) as a novel nanozyme with good peroxidase and oxidase-mimicking activities and easy recyclability is explored for dye degradation. An efficient and rapid method of PdNPs/PCNF preparation was demonstrated by adjusting the pH and microwave irradiation. Enzyme kinetic studies revealed good kinetic parameters and specific activities of 415 and 277 U/g for peroxidase and oxidase, respectively. PdNPs/PCNF offered 99.64% degradation of methylene blue within 12 min (0.468 min-1) with 0.4 M H2O2 at pH 5.0. Mechanistic studies revealed the involvement of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. Owing to the network-like structure of PCNF, films and foams were prepared, their dye degradation potentials were compared, and recyclability was tested. Successful degradation of mixed dye solutions and spiked real water samples was achieved and a continuous flow method was demonstrated using a foam-packed column.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as the graphene-based materials, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), black phosphorus, hexagonal boron nitride, and others have attracted considerable attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. This is true not least in the field of medicine. Understanding the interactions between 2D materials and the immune system is therefore of paramount importance. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that 2D materials may interact with microorganisms - pathogens as well as commensal bacteria that dwell in and on our body. We discuss the interplay between 2D materials, the immune system, and the microbial world in order to bring a systems perspective to bear on the biological interactions of 2D materials. The use of 2D materials as vectors for drug delivery and as immune adjuvants in tumor vaccines, and 2D materials to counteract inflammation and promote tissue regeneration, are explored. The bio-corona formation on and biodegradation of 2D materials, and the reciprocal interactions between 2D materials and microorganisms, are also highlighted. Finally, we consider the future challenges pertaining to the biomedical applications of various classes of 2D materials.

Abstract
Colorimetric or fluorescent biosensors based on mimic enzymes have come into the spotlight in virtue of their visual detection. In traditional visual sensors, fluorescent-changing or color-changing substances should be introduced for the catalytic reaction with mimic enzymes. Herein, a mimic enzyme (Au@Fe-MIL-88B) with self-triggered fluorescent property was prepared. By incorporating Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) in Fe-MIL-88B, a higher peroxidase activity of Au@Fe-MIL-88B was monitored due to the synergistic effect between Au NPs and Fe-MIL-88B. Besides, Au NPs can change the valence of Fe ion in metal organic framework (MOF), thus lower background fluorescence was discovered, but the addition of H2O2 can trigger the self-fluorescence of Au@Fe-MIL-88B. By using Au@Fe-MIL-88B as a label to anchor secondary antibody, a competitive immunosensor based on fluorescence and photoelectrochemistry was constructed for the immunoassay of rosiglitazone (RSG), a kind of hypoglycemic drug. Finally, a portable instrument was homemade for the on-site and convenient detection of RSG in functional tea. This self-triggered fluorescent MOF may provide a possible route to design biosensors for the detection of hazardous materials.

Abstract
As one of the typical carbon nanomaterials, graphdiyne (GDY) with unique chemical, physical, and electronic properties has a great potential in various fields. Although it is an important member of carbon nanozymes, the research on its intrinsic enzyme mimetic properties and applications is still limited. Herein, graphdiyne oxide quantum dots (GDYO QDs) have been synthesized through oxidative cleavage, which exhibit enhanced peroxidase-like activity with lower Km and higher Vmax than those of most carbon-based nanozymes. The catalytic mechanism is explored, showing that the enhanced catalytic performance is attributed to the good conjugated structure, large number of oxygen-containing groups, and small-sized nanosheets with few layers. As a kind of peroxidase mimetic, the GDY-based nanozyme has excellent potential in sensing H2O2 and biological antioxidants through the colorimetric assay, with a linear range from 5 to 500 μM and detection limit of 1.5 μM for H2O2 and a linear range from 0 to 90 μM and detection limit of 0.48 μM for l-cysteine. Our work will be beneficial to develop high-performance artificial enzymes and to understand their mechanism for better applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes are promising new-generation antibacterial agents owing to their low cost, high stability, broad-spectrum activity, and minimal antimicrobial resistance. However, the inherent low catalytic activity of nanozymes tends to limit their antibacterial efficacy. Herein, a heterostructure of zinc oxide nanorod@graphdiyne nanosheets (ZnO@GDY NR) with unparallel piezocatalytic enzyme mimic activity is reported, which concurrently possesses intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and strong piezoelectric responses and effectively promotes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and generation of reactive oxygen species under ultrasound irradiation. Moreover, this piezocatalytic nanozyme exhibits almost 100% antibacterial efficacy against multidrug-resistant pathogens involving methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro and in vivo. In addition, a piezoelectric activatable nanozyme-based skin patch is developed for rapid skin wound disinfections with satisfactory hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. This work not only sheds light on the development of an innovative piezoelectric activatable nanozyme-based skin patch for rapid wound disinfection but also provides new insights on the engineering of piezocatalytic nanozymes for nanozyme antibacterial therapy.
