Abstract
Copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanomaterials have received tremendous attention in recent years because of their unique physicochemical properties and good biocompatibility in the treatment of various diseases, especially cancer. To date, researchers have designed and fabricated a variety of integrated Cu-based nanocomplexes with distinctive nanostructures and applied them in cancer therapy, mainly including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), cuproptosis-mediated therapy, etc. Due to the limited effect of a single treatment method, the development of composite diagnostic nanosystems that integrate chemotherapy, PTT, CDT, PDT, and other treatments is of great significance and offers great potential for the development of the next generation of anticancer nanomedicines. In view of the rapid development of Cu-based nanocomplexes in the field of cancer therapy, this review focuses on the current state of research on Cu-based nanomaterials, followed by a discussion of Cu-based nanocomplexes for combined cancer therapy. Moreover, the current challenges and future prospects of Cu-based nanocomplexes in clinical translation are proposed to provide some insights into the design of integrated Cu-based nanotherapeutic platforms.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed bioorthogonal reactions emerged a decade ago as a novel strategy to implement spatiotemporal control over enzymatic functions and pharmacological interventions. The use of this methodology in experimental therapy is driven by the ambition of improving the tolerability and PK properties of clinically-used therapeutic agents. The preclinical potential of bioorthogonal catalysis has been validated in vitro and in vivo with the in situ generation of a broad range of drugs, including cytotoxic agents, anti-inflammatory drugs and anxiolytics. In this article, we report our investigations towards the preparation of solid-supported Cu(I)-microdevices and their application in bioorthogonal uncaging and click reactions. A range of ligand-functionalized polymeric devices and off-on Cu(I)-sensitive sensors were developed and tested under conditions compatible with life. Last, we present a preliminary exploration of their use for the synthesis of PROTACs through CuAAC assembly of two heterofunctional mating units.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for manipulating biological processes. However, difficulties in controlling the exact location and on-demand catalytic synthesis limit its application in biological systems. Herein, this work constructs an activatable bioorthogonal system integrating a shielded catalyst and prodrug molecules to combat biofilm-associated infections. The catalytic species is activated in response to the hyaluronidase (HAase) secreted by the bacteria and the acidic pH of the biofilm, which is accompanied by the release of prodrugs, to achieve the bioorthogonal catalytic synthesis of antibacterial molecules in situ. Moreover, the system can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to disperse bacterial biofilms, enabling the antibacterial molecules to penetrate the biofilm and eliminate the bacteria within it. This study promotes the design of efficient and safe bioorthogonal catalysts and the development of bioorthogonal chemistry-mediated antibacterial strategies.

Abstract
Oxidized MXene quantum dots@CuNi bimetal (MQDs@CuNi) were firstly prepared through a simple hydrothermal method. Compared to the controlled samples, MQDs@CuNi1:1 showed the highest peroxidase-like activity. The catalytic mechanism of MQDs@CuNi1:1 was investigated using a steady-state fluorescence analysis, which showed that MQDs@CuNi1:1 efficiently decomposes H2O2 and produces highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH). Furthermore, theoretical calculations showed that the remarkable catalytic activity of MQDs@CuNi1:1 originates from the interaction between CuNi bimetal and MQDs to promote the activation and decomposition of H2O2, making it easier to combine with the hydrogen at the end of 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Accordingly, a sensitive colorimetric sensor is proposed to detect glyphosate (Glyp), displaying a low detection limit of 1.13 µM. The work will provide a new way for the development of high-performance nanozyme and demonstrate potential applicability for the determination of pesticide residues in environment.

Abstract
The evolutionary complexity of compartmentalized biostructures (such as cells and organelles) endows life-sustaining multistep chemical cascades and intricate living functionalities. Relatively, within a very short time span, a synthetic paradigm has resulted in tremendous growth in controlling the materials at different length scales (molecular, nano, micro, and macro), improving mechanistic understanding and setting the design principals toward different compositions, configurations, and structures, and in turn fine-tuning their optoelectronic and catalytic properties for targeted applications. Bioorthogonal catalysis offers a highly versatile toolkit for biochemical modulation and the capability to perform new-to-nature reactions inside living systems, endowing augmented functions. However, conventional catalysts have limitations to control the reactions under physiological conditions due to the hostile bioenvironment. The present account details the development of bioapplicable multicomponent designer nanoreactors (NRs), where the compositions, morphologies, interfacial active sites, and microenvironments around different metal nanocatalysts can be precisely controlled by novel nanospace-confined chemistries. Different architectures of porous, hollow, and open-mouth silica-based nano-housings facilitate the accommodation, protection, and selective access of different nanoscale metal-based catalytic sites. The modular porosity/composition, optical transparency, thermal insulation, and nontoxicity of silica are highly useful. Moreover, large macropores or cavities can also be occupied by enzymes (for chemoenzymatic cascades) and selectivity enhancers (for stimuli-responsive gating) along with the metal nanocatalysts. Further, it is crucial to selectively activate and control catalytic reactions by a remotely operable biocompatible energy source. Integration of highly coupled plasmonic (Au) components having few-nanometer structural features (gaps, cavities, and junctions as electromagnetic hot-spots) endows an opportunity to efficiently harness low-power NIR light and selectively supply energy to the interfacial catalytic sites through localized photothermal and electronic effects. Different plasmonically integrated NRs with customizable plasmonic-catalytic components, cavities inside bilayer nanospaces, and metal-laminated nanocrystals inside hollow silica can perform NIR-/light-induced catalytic reactions in complex media including living cells. In addition, magnetothermia-induced NRs by selective growth of catalytic metals on a pre-installed superparamagnetic iron-oxide core inside a hollow-porous silica shell endowed the opportunity to apply AMF as a bioorthogonal stimulus to promote catalytic reactions. By combining "plasmonic-catalytic" and "magnetic-catalytic" components within a single NR, two distinct reaction steps can be desirably controlled by two energy sources (NIR light and AMF) of distinct energy regimes. The capability to perform multistep organic molecular transformations in harmony with the natural living system will reveal novel reaction schemes for in cellulo synthesis of active drug and bioimaging probes. Well-designed nanoscale discrete architectures of NRs can facilitate spatiotemporal control over abiotic chemical synthesis without adversely affecting the cell viability. However, in-depth understanding of heterogeneous surface catalytic reactions, rate induction mechanisms, selectivity control pathways, and targeted nanobio interactions is necessary. The broad field of biomedical engineering can hugely benefit from the aid of novel nanomaterials with chemistry-based designs and the synthesis of engineered NRs performing unique bioorthogonal chemistry functions.

Abstract
In situ drug synthesis using the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has attracted considerable attention in tumor therapy because of its satisfactory effectiveness and reduced side-effects. However, the exogenous addition of copper catalysts can cause cytotoxicity and has hampered biomedical applications in vivo. Here, we design and synthesize a metal-organic framework (MOF) to mimic copper chaperone, which can selectively modulate copper trafficking for bioorthogonal synthesis with no need of exogenous addition of copper catalysts. Like copper chaperones, the prepared ZIF-8 copper chaperone mimics specifically bind copper ions through the formation of coordination bonds. Moreover, the copper is unloaded under the acidic environment due to the dissipation of the coordination interactions between metal ions and ligands. In this way, the cancer cell-targeted copper chaperone mimics can selectively transport copper ions into cells. Regulation of intracellular copper trafficking may inspire constructing bioorthogonal catalysis system with reduced metal cytotoxicity in live cells.

Abstract
Addressing the challenges of chemodynamic therapies (CDTs) relying on Fenton reactions in malignant tumors is an active research area. Here, we report a method to develop pH-responsive hybrid nanoparticles for enhanced chemodynamic tumor treatment. Reactive CaO2 nanoparticles (core) are isolated by biocompatible ZIF-8 doped with Fe2+ (shell), and then encapsulated by macrophage membranes (symbolized as CaO2@Fe-ZIF-8@macrophage membrane or CFZM), thus endowed with high stability under normal physiological conditions. Our design features active tumor-homing by the macrophage-membrane coating, tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive cargo release, and self-supplied hydrogen peroxide for promotion of the Fenton reaction. We demonstrate the improved delivery/tumor cell uptake of CFZM, the efficient production of toxic ˙OH with self-supplied H2O2 in CFZM, and high-efficacy tumor ablation on BALB/c mice bearing CT26 tumor cells. This offers a translational strategy to develop active tumor-targeting and TME-responsive nanotherapeutics with enhanced CDT against malignant tumors.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry is a rapidly expanding field of research that involves the use of small molecules that can react selectively with biomolecules in living cells and organisms, without causing any harm or interference with native biochemical processes. It has made significant contributions to the field of biology and medicine by enabling selective labeling, imaging, drug targeting, and manipulation of bio-macromolecules in living systems. This approach offers numerous advantages over traditional chemistry-based methods, including high specificity, compatibility with biological systems, and minimal interference with biological processes. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent advancements in bioorthogonal chemistry and their current and potential applications in translational research. We present an update on this innovative chemical approach that has been utilized in cells and living systems during the last five years for biomedical applications. We also highlight the nucleic acid-templated synthesis of small molecules by using bioorthogonal chemistry. Overall, bioorthogonal chemistry provides a powerful toolset for studying and manipulating complex biological systems, and holds great potential for advancing translational research.

Abstract
Photosensitisers for photoimmunotherapy with high spatiotemporal controllability are rare. In this work, we designed rhenium(i) polypyridine complexes modified with a tetrazine unit via a bioorthogonally activatable carbamate linker as bioorthogonally dissociative photosensitisers for the controlled induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). The complexes displayed increased emission intensities and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation efficiencies upon reaction with trans-cyclooct-4-enol (TCO-OH) due to the separation of the quenching tetrazine unit from the rhenium(i) polypyridine core. One of the complexes containing a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) group exhibited negligible dark cytotoxicity but showed greatly enhanced (photo)cytotoxic activity towards TCO-OH-pretreated cells upon light irradiation. The reason is that TCO-OH allowed the synergistic release of the more cytotoxic rhenium(i) aminomethylpyridine complex and increased 1O2 generation. Importantly, the treatment induced a cascade of events, including lysosomal dysfunction, autophagy suppression and ICD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first example of using bioorthogonal dissociation reactions as a trigger to realise photoinduced ICD, opening up new avenues for the development of innovative photoimmunotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Photoresponsive materials offer excellent spatiotemporal control over biological processes and the emerging phototherapeutic methods are expected to have significant effects on targeted cancer therapies. Recent examples show that combination of photoactivatable approaches with bioorthogonal chemistry enhances the precision of targeted phototherapies and profound implications are foreseen particularly in the treatment of disperse/diffuse tumors. The extra level of on-target selectivity and improved spatial/temporal control considerably intensified related bioorthogonally assisted phototherapy research. The anticipated growth of further developments in the field justifies the timeliness of a brief summary of the state of the art.

Abstract
Polymersome nanoreactors that can be employed as artificial organelles have gained much interest over the past decades. Such systems often include biological catalysts (i.e., enzymes) so that they can undertake chemical reactions in cellulo. Examples of nanoreactor artificial organelles that acquire metal catalysts in their structure are limited, and their application in living cells remains fairly restricted. In part, this shortfall is due to difficulties associated with constructing systems that maintain their stability in vitro, let alone the toxicity they impose on cells. This study demonstrates a biodegradable and biocompatible polymersome nanoreactor platform, which can be applied as an artificial organelle in living cells. The ability of the artificial organelles to covalently and non-covalently incorporate tris(triazolylmethyl)amine-Cu(I) complexes in their membrane is shown. Such artificial organelles are capable of effectively catalyzing a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition intracellularly, without compromising the cells' integrity. The platform represents a step forward in the application of polymersome-based nanoreactors as artificial organelles.

Abstract
Five G-/C-rich single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with different sequences and lengths were templated to prepare the DNA-Cu, DNA-Fe, and bimetallic DNA-Cu/M nanoclusters (NCs). The peroxidase-like activities of these nanomaterials were studied using H2O2 and 3,3',5,5''-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as the reaction substrates in HAc-NaAc buffer. It was found that T30-G2-Fe NCs and T30-G2-Cu/Fe NCs, with a size of about 2 nm, exhibit similar and the strongest enzyme-like activity under optimal conditions. Both NCs possess a similarly high affinity to substrates, and the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) values to TMB and H2O2 are about 11 and 2-3 times lower than those of natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP), respectively. The activity of both nanozymes decreases to about 70% after being kept for one week in pH 4.0 buffer at 4 °C, which is comparable with HRP. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the catalytic reaction. Moreover, both NCs can facilitate in situ generation of ROS in HeLa cells using endogenous H2O2. MTT assays indicate that the T30-G2-Cu/Fe NCs exhibit the strong selective cytotoxicity to HeLa cells over HL-7702 cells. The cellular viability is about 70% and 50% after incubating with 0.6 M NCs for 24 h without or with 2 mM H2O2, respectively. The current study shows that the T30-G2-Cu/Fe NCs have the potential for chemical dynamic treatment (CDT).

Abstract
Phototherapy can trigger immunogenic cell death of tumors in situ, whereas it is virtually impossible to eradicate the tumor due to the intrinsic resistance and inefficient anti-tumor immunity. To overcome these limitations, novel bimetallic infinite coordination nanopolymers (TA-Fe/Mn-OVA@MB NPs) were synthesized using model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) as a template to assemble tannic acid (TA) and bi-metal, supplemented with methylene blue (MB) surface absorption. The formulated TA-Fe/Mn-OVA@MB NPs possess excellent photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) performance, which is adequate to destroy tumor cells by physical and chemical attack. Especially, these TA-Fe/Mn-OVA@MB NPs are capability of promoting the dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and antigen presentation via manganese-mediated cGAS-STING pathway activation, finally activating cytotoxicity T lymphocyte and promoting memory T lymphocyte differentiation in the peripheral lymphoid organs. In conclusion, this research offers a versatile metal-polyphenol nanoplatform to integrate functional metals and therapeutic molecule for topical phototherapy and robust anti-tumor immune activation.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry has inspired a new subarea of chemistry providing a powerful tool to perform novel biocompatible chemospecific reactions in living systems. Following the premise that they do not interfere with biological functions, bioorthogonal reactions are increasingly applied in biomedical research, particularly with respect to genetic encoding systems, fluorogenic reactions for bioimaging, and cancer therapy. This Minireview compiles recent advances in the use of heterogeneous catalysts for bioorthogonal reactions. The synthetic strategies of Pd-, Au-, and Cu-based materials, their applicability in the activation of caged fluorophores and prodrugs, and the possibilities of using external stimuli to release therapeutic substances at a specific location in a diseased tissue are discussed. Finally, we highlight frontiers in the field, identifying challenges, and propose directions for future development in this emerging field.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive quantification of protein biomarkers has significant implications in disease diagnosis. Herein, we report a fluorescent bacteria counting immunoassay (FBCIA) strategy for protein biomarker detection based on a cascade signal conversion and amplification strategy including the copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF)-mediated Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) for fluorescent bacteria immobilization that converted the concentration of target protein to countable bacterial number and the further self-proliferation of bacteria to amplify the detectable bacterial number. The developed low-background and enzyme-free cascade methodology achieved highly sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) with detection limits down to 0.8 pg/mL and 64.5 fg/mL, respectively. On top of that, we also developed a smartphone device for visualizing individual bacteria and point-of-care counting of the resulting bacteria for the detection of clinical samples. The good consistency between FBCIA and clinical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) validated the high reliability and promising potential of our developed platform in clinical applications.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry, referring to the rapid and selective synthesis of imaging and/or therapeutic molecules in live animals via transition metal-mediated non-natural chemical transformation without disrupting endogenous reactions, has greatly expanded the tools and techniques for biomedicine. However, owing to safety concerns associated with metal toxicity, selectivity, sensitivity and stability, efficient bioorthogonal reactions that can be reliably executed in complex biological environments remain challenging. In this study, an intelligent, versatile bioorthogonal catalyst based on ultrasmall poly(acrylic acid)-modified copper nanocomplexes (Cu@PAA NCs) to achieve high spatiotemporal catalytic efficacy is established. The catalytic activity of the Cu@PAA NCs can be reversibly regulated via valence state interconversion between Cu(II) and Cu(I) under exogenous ultrasound irradiation, promoting off-target prodrug activation in lesion sites through the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. Moreover, ultrasound-triggered electron-hole separation endows the Cu@PAA NCs with robust sonosensitizing ability for sonodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the Cu@PAA NCs exhibit enhanced contrast in magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging. Notably, the renal-clearable Cu@PAA NCs exhibit intrinsically benign biocompatibility. This spatiotemporally ultrasound-mediated bioorthogonal catalysis not only expands the repertoire of in situ therapeutic agents but also provides a new avenue for disease theranostics.

Abstract
As one of the most typical bioorthogonal reactions, the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has received worldwide attention in intracellular transformation of prodrugs due to its high efficiency and selectivity. However, the exogenous Cu catalysts may disturb Cu homeostasis and cause side effects to normal tissues. What is more, the intratumoral Cu(I) is insufficient to efficiently catalyze the intracellular CuAAC reaction due to oncogene-induced labile Cu(I) deficiency. Herein, in order to boost the endogenous Cu(I) level for intracellular drug synthesis through the bioorthogonal reaction, a self-adaptive bioorthogonal catalysis system was constructed by encapsulating prodrugs and sodium ascorbate within adenosine triphosphate aptamer-functionalized metal-organic framework nanoparticles. The system presents specificity to tumor cells and does not require exogenous Cu catalysts, thereby leading to high anti-tumor efficacy and minimal side effects both in vitro and in vivo. This work will open up a new opportunity for developing biosafe and high-performance bioorthogonal catalysis systems.

Abstract
The development of organometallic catalysis has greatly expanded the synthetic chemist toolbox compared to only exploiting "classical" organic chemistry. Although more widely used in organic solvents, metal-based catalysts have also emerged as efficient tools for developing organic transformations in water, thus paving the way for further development of bio-compatible reactions. However, performing metal-catalysed reactions within living cells or organisms induces additional constraints to the design of reactions and catalysts. In particular, metal complexes must exhibit good efficiency in complex aqueous media at low concentrations, good cell specificity, good cellular uptake and low toxicity. In this review, we focus on the presentation of discrete metal complexes that catalyse or photocatalyse reactions within living cells or living organisms. We describe the different reaction designs that have proved to be successful under these conditions, which involve very few metals (Ir, Pd, Ru, Pt, Cu, Au, and Fe) and range from in cellulo deprotection/decaging/activation of fluorophores, drugs, proteins and DNA to in cellulo synthesis of active molecules, and protein and organelle labelling. We also present developments in bio-compatible photo-activatable catalysts, which represent a very recent emerging area of research and some prospects in the field.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed bioorthogonal bond cleavage reactions are widely used and frequently reported. It is circumscribed by low reaction efficiency, which may encumber the therapeutic outcome when applied to physiological environments. Herein, an NIR-II light promoted integrated catalyst (CuS@PDA/Pd) (PDA - polydopamine) is designed to accelerate the reaction efficiency and achieve a dual bioorthogonal reaction for combination therapy. As NIR-II light can penetrate deeply into tissue, the Pd-mediated cleavage reaction can be promoted both in vitro and in vivo by the photothermal properties of CuS, beneficial to orthotopic 4T1 tumor treatment. In addition, CuS also catalyzes the synthesis of active resveratrol analogs by the CuAAC reaction. These simultaneously produced anticancer agents result in enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity in comparison to the single treatments. This is a fascinating study to devise an integrated catalyst boosted by NIR-II light for dual bioorthogonal catalysis, which may provide the impetus for efficient bioorthogonal combination therapy in vivo.

Abstract
Transition metal catalysts (TMCs), capable of performing bioorthogonal reactions, have been engineered to trigger the formation of bioactive molecules in a controlled manner for biomedical applications. However, the widespread use of TMCs based biorthogonal reactions in vivo is still largely limited owing to their toxicity, poor stability, and insufficient targeting properties. The emergence of nanozymes (nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity), especially bioorthogonal nanozymes that combine the bioorthogonal catalytic activity of TMCs, the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, and the enzymatic properties of classical nanozymes potentially provide opportunities to address these challenges. Thus, they can be used as multifunctional catalytic platforms for disease treatment and will be far-reaching. In this review, we first briefly recall the classical TMC-based bioorthogonal reactions. Furthermore, this review highlights the diverse strategies for manufacturing bioorthogonal nanozymes and their potential for therapeutic applications, with the goal of facilitating bioorthogonal catalysis in the clinic. Finally, we present challenges and the prospects of bioorthogonal nanozymes in bioorthogonal chemistry.

Abstract
Abstract Tumor phototheranostics holds a great promise on account of its high spatiotemporal resolution, tumor-specificity, and noninvasiveness. However, physical limitation of light penetration and “always on” properties of conventional photothermal-conversion agents usually cause difficulty in accurate diagnosis and completely elimination of tumor. Meanwhile, nanozymes mediated Fenton reactions can well utilize the tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy (CDT), but limited by the concentration of H2O2 in TME and the delivery efficiency of nanozymes. To overcome these problems, a dual-targeting nanozyme (FTRNPs) is developed for tumor-specific in situ theranostics, based upon the assembling of ultrasmall Fe3O4 nanoparticles, 3,3’,5,5’-tetrameth-ylbenzidine (TMB) and the RGD peptide. The FTRNPs after H2O2 treatment exhibits superior photothermal stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 50.9%). FTRNPs shows extraordinary accumulation and retention in the tumor site by biological/physical dual-targeting, which is 3.54-fold higher than that without active targeting. Cascade-dual-response to TME for nanozymes mediated Fenton reactions and TMB oxidation further improves the accuracy of both photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). The tumor inhibition rate of photo-chemodynamic therapy is ~ 97.76%, which is ~ 4-fold higher than that of PTT or CDT only. Thus, the combination of CDT and PTT to construct “turn on” nanoplatform is of great significance to overcome their respective limitations. Considering its optimized “all-in-one” performance, this new nanoplatform is expected to provide an advanced theranostic strategy for the future treatment of cancers. Graphical abstract ![]()

Abstract
Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has been widely regarded as a promising avenue in bioorthogonal chemistry. The emerging heterogeneous copper catalysts have been developed with a series of exciting applications such as in situ activation of prodrugs because of their excellent stability and biocompatibility. However, due largely to the complex biophysical barriers in living organisms, most synthetic bioorthogonal drugs cannot penetrate deep pathological tissues. Especially in biofilm-associated infections, the biofilms severely block the penetration of traditional antimicrobial agents and increase the antibiotic resistance, which makes it extremely difficult to eliminate the biofilms. Inspired by self-propelled biological motors, such as enzymes, herein, we develop a NIR light-controllable carbonaceous nanocalabash (CNC) motor catalyst with good biocompatibility for active targeted synthesis of drugs inside the biofilms as a robust general-purpose bioorthogonal platform. Under the NIR laser, the CNC motor catalysts display a rapid autonomous motion and generate active molecules in the deep biofilm layers, removing the biofilms and eradicating the shielded bacteria. Our work will shed light on developing a robust bioorthogonal platform for active targeted synthesis of drugs in deep-layered living systems.

Copper-olsalazine metal-organic frameworks as a nanocatalyst and epigenetic modulator for efficient inhibition of colorectal cancer growth and metastasis. Acta Biomater 2022; 152:495-506.

Abstract
Despite the extensive explorations of nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) in drug delivery, the intrinsic bioactivity of nanoMOFs, such as anticancer activity, is severely underestimated owing to the overlooked integration of the hierarchical components including nanosized MOFs and molecular-level organic ligands and metal-organic complexes. Herein, we propose a de novo design of multifunctional bioactive nanoMOFs ranging from molecular to nanoscale level, and demonstrate this proof-of-concept by a copper-olsalazine (Olsa, a clinically approved drug for inflammatory bowel disease, here as a bioactive linker and DNA hypomethylating agent) nanoMOF displaying a multifaceted anticancer mechanism: (1) Cu-Olsa nanoMOF-mediated redox dyshomeostasis for enhanced catalytic tumor therapy, (2) targeting downregulation of cyclooxygenase-2 by the organic complex of Cu2+ and Olsa, and (3) Olsa-mediated epigenetic regulation. Cu-Olsa nanoMOF displayed an enzyme-like catalytic activity to generate cancericidal species ·OH and 1O2 from rich H2O2 in tumors, improved the expression of tumor suppressors TIMP3 and AXIN2 by epigenetic modulation, and fulfilled selective inhibition of colorectal cancer cells over normal cells. The hyaluronic acid-modified nanoMOF further verified the efficient suppression of CT26 colorectal tumor growth and metastasis in murine models. Overall, these results suggest that Olsa-based MOF presents a platform of epigenetic therapy-synergized nanomedicine for efficient cancer treatment and provides a powerful strategy for the design of intrinsically bioactive nanoMOFs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with intrinsic bioactivities such as anticancer and antibacterial activity are of great interest. Herein, we reported a bioactive copper-olsalazine (Cu-Olsa) nanoMOF as a nanodrug for colorectal cancer treatment. This nanoMOF per se displayed enzyme-like catalytic activity to generate cancericidal species ·OH and 1O2 from rich H2O2 in tumors for nanocatalytic tumor therapy. Upon dissociation into small molecular copper-organic complex and olsalazine in cancer cells, COX-2 inhibition and epigenetic modulation were fulfilled for selective inhibition of colorectal cancer growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have a well-established role as a classic heterogeneous catalyst. Also, Pt has traditionally been employed as a component of organometallic drug formulations for chemotherapy. However, a new role in cancer therapy is emerging thanks to its outstanding catalytic properties, enabling novel approaches that are surveyed in this review. Herein, we critically discuss results already obtained and attempt to ascertain future perspectives for Pt NPs as catalysts able to modify key processes taking place in the tumour microenvironment (TME). In addition, we explore relevant parameters affecting the cytotoxicity, biodistribution and clearance of Pt nanosystems. We also analyze pros and cons in terms of biocompatibility and potential synergies that emerge from combining the catalytic capabilities of Pt with other agents such as co-catalysts, external energy sources (near-infrared light, X-ray, electric currents) and conventional therapies.

Abstract
The in situ transformation of low-toxicity precursors into a chemotherapeutic agent at a tumor site to enhance the efficacy of its treatment has long been an elusive goal. In this work, a zinc-based zeolitic imidazolate framework that incorporates pharmaceutically acceptable precursors is prepared as a nanoreactor (NR) system for the localized synthesis of an antitumor drug. The as-prepared NRs are administered intratumorally in a tumor-bearing mouse model and then irradiated with ultrasound (US) to activate the chemical synthesis. The US promotes the penetration of the administered NRs into the tumor tissue to cover the lesion entirely, although some NRs leak into the surrounding normal tissue. Nevertheless, only the tumor tissue, where the H2O2 concentration is high, is adequately exposed to the as-synthesized antitumor drug, which markedly impedes development of the tumor. No significant chemical synthesis is detected in the surrounding normal tissue, where the local H2O2 concentration is negligible and the US irradiation is not directly applied. The as-proposed tumor-specific in situ synthesis of therapeutic molecules induces hardly any significant in vivo toxicity and, thus, is potentially a potent biocompatible approach to precision chemotherapy.

Abstract
Copper-based nanomaterials (Cu-based NMs) with favorable biocompatibility and unique properties have attracted the attention of many biomedical researchers. Cu-based NMs are one of the most widely studied materials in cancer treatment. In recent years, great progress has been made in the field of biomedicine, especially in the treatment and diagnosis of tumors. This review begins with the classification of Cu-based NMs and the recent synthetic strategies of Cu-based NMs. Then, according to the abundant and special properties of Cu-based NMs, their application in biomedicine is summarized in detail. For biomedical imaging, such as photoacoustic imaging, positron emission tomography imaging, and multimodal imaging based on Cu-based NMs are summarized, as well as strategies to improve the diagnostic effectiveness. Moreover, a series of unique structures and functions as well as the underlying property activity relationship of Cu-based NMs were shown to highlight their promising therapeutic performance. Cu-based NMs have been widely used in monotherapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the sophisticated design in composition, structure, and surface fabrication of Cu-based NMs can endow these NMs with more modalities in cancer diagnosis and therapy. To further improve the efficiency of cancer treatment, combined therapy based on Cu-based NMs was introduced in detail. Finally, the challenges, critical factors, and future prospects for the clinical translation of Cu-based NMs as multifunctional theranostic agents were also considered and discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a better understanding and key consideration for the rational design of this increasingly important new paradigm of Cu-based NMs as theranostic agents. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Intracellular formation of therapeutic agents has become one of the effective ways for cancer-specific treatment. Herein, a tumor acidity-activatable photothermal/Fenton nanoagent (denoted as CoPy) was constructed based on oxidized zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (oxZIF-67) nanosheet and pyrrole (Py) monomer for synergistic therapy. The CoPy showed negligible toxicity to normal cell models RAW264.7 and 3T3 cell lines, and could be degraded by ascorbic acid in normal physiological conditions. However, once uptaken by 4T1 cells, the acidic pH led to the release of Co3+, which served as a strong oxidant to induce the polymerization of Py to form polypyrrole (PPy) for site-specific photothermal therapy (PTT). Most appealingly, the PPy could chelate the generated Co2+ in the polymerization process to initiate the Fenton-like reaction, which was more capable to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) compared to the free Co2+ ones. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that all functionalities on CoPy worked collaboratively, and 78% of tumors were inhibited through cooperative PTT/CDT. Such a novel therapeutic nanoagent with tumor selectivity opens new opportunities for combinational treatment paradigms.

Abstract
Cuprous-based nanozymes have demonstrated great potential for cascade chemodynamic therapy (CDT) due to their higher catalytic efficiency and simple reaction conditions. Here, hollow cuprous oxide@nitrogen-doped carbon (HCONC) dual-shell structures are designed as nanozymes for CDT oncotherapy. This HCONC with a size distribution of 130 nm is synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using cupric nitrate and dimethyl formamide as precursors. The thin-layer carbon (1.88 nm) of HCONC enhances the water-stability and reduces the systemic toxicity of cuprous oxide nanocrystals. The dissolved Cu+ of HCONC in acid solution induces a Fenton-like reaction and exhibits a fast reaction rate for catalyzing H2 O2 into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Meanwhile, the formed Cu+ consumes oversaturated glutathione (GSH) to avoid its destruction of ROS at the intracellular level. In general, both cellular and animal experiments show that HCONC demonstrates excellent antitumor ability without causing significant systemic toxicity, which may present tremendous potential for clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
As one of the typical bioorthogonal reactions, copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction holds great potential in organic synthesis, bioconjugation, and surface functionalization. However, the toxicity of Cu(I), inefficient catalytic activity, and the lack of cell specific targeting of the existing catalysts hampered their practical applications in living systems. Herein, we design and construct a DNA-based platform as a biocompatible, highly efficient, and precisely targeted bioorthogonal nanocatalyst. The nanocatalyst presents excellent catalytic efficiency in vitro, which is one order of magnitude higher than the commonly used catalyst CuSO4/sodium ascorbate. The theoretical calculation further supports the contribution of DNA structure and its interaction with substrates to the superior catalytic activity. More importantly, the system can achieve efficient prodrug activation in cancer cells through cell type-specific recognition and produce a 40-fold enhancement of transformation compared to the non-targeting nanocatalyst, resulting in enhanced antitumor efficacy and reduced adverse effects. In vivo tumor therapy demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the system in mammals. Copper-click reaction has been used for a wide range of bio-conjugations but does suffer from toxicity issues. Here, the authors report on the growth of copper nanoparticles on DNA with linked aptamer targeting and demonstrate high catalytic effect and improved application due to targeting and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Despite significant achievement in chemotherapy, the off-target actions and low pharmaceutical selectivity of the therapeutic agents still limit their clinical efficacy. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform which integrates chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photoactivation of TRPV1 channels has been successfully established for specific cancer therapy. Polydopamine (PDA) coated hollow prussian blue nanocages (hPBNCs) are used as the photothermal switches and drug carriers for loading chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin (Dox). Conjugating with the TRPV1 antibodies enables the nanoplatform to bind specifically to TRPV1 channels on the plasma membrane of the TRPV1-positive cancer cells and then activate them by local heating upon NIR irradiation, leading to the over-influx of Ca2+. Critically, the laser irradiation can be carefully controlled to not only open the TRPV1 channels but also avoid burning of tumors by hyperthermia. Moreover, the exposed hPBNCs in the acidic tumor cells can decompose endogenous H2O2 into ˙OH by Fenton reaction to realize CDT, which further aggravates cancer cell apoptosis. Together with the chemotherapy caused by Dox, our nanoplatform displays an enhanced anticancer effect both in vitro and in vivo. Our work provides a powerful means for site-specific cancer synergetic therapy with high spatial and temporal resolution.

Abstract
As one of the representative bioorthogonal reactions, the copper-catalyzed click reaction provides a promising approach for in situ prodrug activation in cancer treatment. To solve the issue of inherent toxicity of Cu(i), biocompatible heterogeneous copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were developed for the Cu-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. However, the unsatisfactory catalytic activity and off-target effect still hindered their application in biological systems. Herein, we constructed a DNAzyme-augmented and targeted bioorthogonal catalyst for synergistic cancer therapy. The system could present specificity to cancer cells and promote the generation of Cu(i) via DNAzyme-induced value state conversion of DNA-templated ultrasmall CuNPs upon exposure to endogenous H2O2, thereby leading to high catalytic activity for in situ drug synthesis. Meanwhile, DNAzyme could produce radical species to damage cancer cells. The synergy of in situ drug synthesis and chemodynamic therapy exhibited excellent anti-cancer effects and minimal side effects. The study offers a simple and novel avenue to develop highly efficient and safe bioorthogonal catalysts for biological applications. A DNAzyme-augmented and tumor-targeted bioorthogonal catalysis system is constructed for synergistic cancer therapy. It promotes the generation of Cu(i) and ROS using endogenous H2O2, thereby achieving in situ drug synthesis and chemodynamic therapy.![]()

Abstract
Sodium pyruvate, a natural intermediate produced during cellular metabolism, is commonly used in buffer solutions and media for biochemical applications. Here we show the use of sodium pyruvate (SP) as a reducing agent in a biocompatible aqueous photoinduced azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. This copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is triggered by SP under UV light irradiation, exhibits oxygen tolerance and temporal control, and provides a convenient alternative to current CuAAC systems, particularly for biomolecular conjugations.

Abstract
The development of biodegradable nanomaterials for near-infrared photothermal antibacterial is of great significance to improve the biosafety of nano-antibacterial strategies in clinical application. In this study, a new nano-antibacterial strategy was developed, in which a biodegradable charge-transfer nanocomplex acted as a high-efficiency near-infrared light-activatable photothermal nanoconvertor. The charge-transfer nanocomplex was synthesized through oxidation-induced self-assembly of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine molecules. This nanocomplex can efficiently convert light energy around 900 nm into heat energy, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 30%. More importantly, the nanocomplex can spontaneously degrade under physiological conditions within 12 hours. Utilizing the photothermal effect of this nanocomplex, both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria can be inactivated within 2 minutes. In addition, the inactivation mechanism was systematically discussed and the results indicated that the photothermal effect induced bacterial cell membrane damage was probably responsible for the antibacterial effect.

Abstract
Photoirradiation provides a convenient and biocompatible approach for spatiotemporal modulation of biological systems with photoresponsive components. The construction of molecular platforms with a photoresponse to be integrated into biomolecules for photomodulation has been of great research interest in optochemical biology. In this review, we summarize typical molecular platforms that are integratable with biomolecules for photomodulation purposes. We categorize these molecular platforms according to their excitation light source, namely ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis) or near-infrared (NIR) light. The protype chemistry of these molecular platforms is introduced along with an overview of their most recent applications for spatiotemporal regulation of biomolecular function in living cells or mice models. Challenges and the outlook are also presented. We hope this review paper will contribute to further progress in the development of molecular platforms and their biomedical use.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions are rapid, specific and high yield reactions that can be performed in in vivo microenvironments or simulated microenvironments. At present, the main biorthogonal reactions include Staudinger ligation, copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition, strain-promoted [3 + 2] reaction, tetrazine ligation, metal-catalyzed coupling reaction and photo-induced biorthogonal reactions. To date, many reviews have reported that bioorthogonal reactions have been used widely as a powerful tool in the field of life sciences, such as in target recognition, drug discovery, drug activation, omics research, visualization of life processes or exogenous bacterial infection processes, signal transduction pathway research, chemical reaction dynamics analysis, disease diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, to date, few studies have investigated the application of bioorthogonal reactions in the analysis of biomacromolecules in vivo. Therefore, the application of bioorthogonal reactions in the analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, enzyme activities and other endogenous molecules, and the determination of disease-related targets is reviewed. In addition, this review discusses the future development opportunities and challenges of biorthogonal reactions. This review presents an overview of recent advances for application in biomolecular analysis and disease diagnosis, with a focus on proteins, metabolites and RNA detection.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry refers to any chemical reactions that can occur inside of living systems without interfering with native biochemical processes, which has become a promising strategy for modulating biological processes. The development of synthetic metal-based catalysts to perform bioorthogonal reactions has significantly expanded the toolkit of bioorthogonal chemistry for medicinal chemistry and synthetic biology. A wide range of homogeneous and heterogeneous transition metal catalysts (TMCs) have been reported, mediating different transformations such as cycloaddition reactions, as well as bond forming and cleaving reactions. However, the direct application of 'naked' TMCs in complex biological media poses numerous challenges, including poor water solubility, toxicity and catalyst deactivation. Incorporating TMCs into nanomaterials to create bioorthogonal nanocatalysts can solubilize and stabilize catalyst molecules, with the decoration of the nanocatalysts used to provide spatiotemporal control of catalysis. This review presents an overview of the advances in the creation of bioorthogonal nanocatalysts, highlighting different choice of nano-scaffolds, and the therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Tailored ruthenium sandwich complexes bearing photoresponsive arene ligands can efficiently promote azide–thioalkyne cycloaddition (RuAtAC) when irradiated with UV light. The reactions can be performed in a bioorthogonal manner in aqueous mixtures containing biological components. The strategy can also be applied for the selective modification of biopolymers, such as DNA or peptides. Importantly, this ruthenium‐based technology and the standard copper‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) proved to be compatible and mutually orthogonal.

Abstract
The surging development of bioorthogonal chemistry has profoundly transformed chemical biology over the last two decades. Involving chemical partners that specifically react together in highly complex biological fluids, this branch of chemistry now allows researchers to probe biomolecules in their natural habitat through metabolic labelling technologies. Chemical reporter strategies include metabolic glycan labelling, site-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids in proteins, and post-synthetic labelling of nucleic acids. While a majority of literature reports mark cell-surface exposed targets, implementing bioorthogonal ligations in the interior of cells constitutes a more challenging task. Owing to limiting factors such as membrane permeability of reagents, fluorescence background due to hydrophobic interactions and off-target covalent binding, and suboptimal balance between reactivity and stability of the designed molecular reporters and probes, these strategies need mindful planning to achieve success. In this review, we discuss the hurdles encountered when targeting biomolecules localized in cell organelles and give an easily accessible summary of the strategies at hand for imaging intracellular targets.

Abstract
Background Therapeutic tumor vaccine (TTV) that induces tumor-specific immunity has enormous potentials in tumor treatment, but high heterogeneity and poor immunogenicity of tumor seriously impair its clinical efficacy. Herein, a novel NIR responsive tumor vaccine in situ (HA-PDA@IQ/DOX HG) was prepared by integrating hyaluronic acid functionalized polydopamine nanoparticles (HA-PDA NPs) with immune adjuvants (Imiquimod, IQ) and doxorubicin (DOX) into thermal-sensitive hydrogel. Results HA-PDA@IQ NPs with high photothermal conversion efficiency (41.2%) and T1-relaxation efficiency were using HA as stabilizer by the one-pot oxidative polymerization. Then, HA-PDA@IQ loaded DOX via π-π stacking and mixed with thermal-sensitive hydrogel to form the HA-PDA@IQ/DOX HG. The hydrogel-confined delivery mode endowed HA-PDA@IQ/DOX NPs with multiple photothermal ablation performance once injection upon NIR irradiation due to the prolonged retention in tumor site. More importantly, this mode enabled HA-PDA@IQ/DOX NPs to promote the DC maturation, memory T cells in lymphatic node as well as cytotoxic T lymphocytes in spleen. Conclusion Taken together, the HA-PDA@IQ/DOX HG could be served as a theranostic tumor vaccine for complete photothermal ablation to trigger robust antitumor immune responses. ![]()

Abstract
Although abiotic catalysts are capable of promoting numerous new-to-nature reactions, only a small subset has so far been successfully integrated into living systems. Research in intracellular catalysis requires an interdisciplinary approach that takes advantage of both chemical and biological tools as well as state-of-the-art instrumentations. In this perspective, we will focus on the techniques that have made studying metal-catalyzed reactions in cells possible using representative examples from the literature. Although the lack of quantitative data in vitro and in vivo has somewhat limited progress in the catalyst development process, recent advances in characterization methods should help overcome some of these deficiencies. Given its tremendous potential, we believe that intracellular catalysis will play a more prominent role in the development of future biotechnologies and therapeutics.

"One-stitch" bioorthogonal prodrug activation based on cross-linked lipoic acid nanocapsules. Biomaterials 2021; 273:120823. [PMID: 33930738 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.120823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Bioorthogonal prodrug activation is fascinating but suffers from staggered administration of prodrug and trigger, which would not only reduce the therapeutic effect but bring great inconvenience for clinical application. Herein, we report a new cross-linked lipoic acid nanocapsules (cLANCs) based two-component bioorthogonal nanosystem for "one-stitch" prodrug activation. Due to the reversible stability of cLANCs, the loaded prodrug and trigger cannot release in advance while can react upon arrival in the tumor tissue. Moreover, the cLANCs would be degraded into dihydrolipoic acid in tumor cells to potentiate the anticancer effect of the drug synthesized in situ. The data showed that the new bioorthogonal system held a killing effect 1.63 times higher than that of parent drug 3 against human colorectal tumor cells (HT29) and a tumor inhibitory rate 34.2% higher than that of 3 against HT29 tumor xenograft model with negligible side effects. The biodistribution study showed that the "one-stitch" prodrug activation exhibited a selective accumulation of 3 in the tumor tissue compared with free 3 group (34.2 μg vs 3.56 μg of 3/g of tissue). This two-component bioorthogonal nanosystem based on cross-linked lipoic acid nanocapsules constitutes the first example of "one-stitch" bioorthogonal prodrug activation.
