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
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

Abstract
Chirality is common in nature, which determines the high enantioselectivity of living systems. Selecting suitable chiral configurations is of great meaning for nanostructures to function better in biological systems. In this study, chiral Co3O4-H2TPPS-Au (CoHAu) nanoassemblies are constructed to accelerate the production ∙OH by consuming D-glucose (D-Glu, widely spread in nature) based on their outstanding enantioselective cascade-catalytic abilities. In particular, D-CoHAu nanoassemblies are more effective in the catalytic conversion of D-Glu than L-CoHAu nanoassemblies. This phenomenon is due to the stronger binding affinity of D-CoHAu nanoassemblies indicated by the lower Km value. Moreover, D-CoHAu nanoassemblies display excellent consumption-ability of D-Glu and production of ∙OH in living cells, which can eliminate senescent cells effectively based on their intracellular enantioselective cascade-catalysis. This research establishes the foundation for bio-mimicking nanostructures with unique functionalities to regulate abnormal biological activities better.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions provide a powerful tool to manipulate biological processes in their native environment. However, the transition-metal catalysts (TMCs) for bioorthogonal catalysis are limited to low atomic utilization and moderate catalytic efficiency, resulting in unsatisfactory performance in a complex physiological environment. Herein, sulfur-doped Fe single-atom catalysts with atomically dispersed and uniform active sites are fabricated to serve as potent bioorthogonal catalysts (denoted as Fe-SA), which provide a powerful tool for in situ manipulation of cellular biological processes. As a proof of concept, the N6-methyladensoine (m6A) methylation in macrophages is selectively regulated by the mannose-modified Fe-SA nanocatalysts (denoted as Fe-SA@Man NCs) for potent cancer immunotherapy. Particularly, the agonist prodrug of m6A writer METTL3/14 complex protein (pro-MPCH) can be activated in situ by tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-targeting Fe-SA@Man, which can upregulate METTL3/14 complex protein expression and then reprogram TAMs for tumor killing by hypermethylation of m6A modification. Additionally, we find the NCs exhibit an oxidase (OXD)-like activity that further boosts the upregulation of m6A methylation and the polarization of macrophages via producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Ultimately, the reprogrammed M1 macrophages can elicit immune responses and inhibit tumor proliferation. Our study not only sheds light on the design of single-atom catalysts for potent bioorthogonal catalysis but also provides new insights into the spatiotemporal modulation of m6A RNA methylation for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Active polymetallic atomic clusters can initiate heterogeneous catalytic reactions in the tumor microenvironment, and the products tend to cause manifold damage to cell metabolic functions. Herein, bimetallic PtPd atomic clusters (BAC) are constructed by the stripping of Pt and Pd nanoparticles on nitrogen-doped carbon and follow-up surface PEGylation, aiming at efficacious antineoplastic therapy through heterogeneous catalytic processes. After endocytosed by tumor cells, BAC with catalase-mimic activity can facilitate the decomposition of endogenous H2O2 into O2. The local oxygenation not only alleviates hypoxia to reduce the invasion ability of cancer cells but also enhances the yield of •O2- from O2 catalyzed by BAC. Meanwhile, BAC also exhibit peroxidase-mimic activity for •OH production from H2O2. The enrichment of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including the radicals of •OH and •O2-, causes significant oxidative cellular damage and triggers severe apoptosis. In another aspect, intrinsic glutathione (GSH) peroxidase-like activity of BAC can indirectly upregulate the level of lipid peroxides and promote ferroptosis. Such deleterious redox dyshomeostasis caused by ROS accumulation and GSH consumption also results in immunogenic cell death to stimulate antitumor immunity for metastasis suppression. Collectively, this paradigm is expected to inspire more facile designs of polymetallic atomic clusters in disease therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The concept of click chemistry was introduced in 2001 as an effective, efficient, and sustainable approach to making functional groups harnessing the thermodynamic properties of a set of known chemical reactions that are based on nature. Some of the most common examples include reactions that produce 1,2,3-triazoles, which have been used with great success in drug discovery and development, and in chemical biology. The reactions unite two molecules quickly and irreversibly, and the reactions can be performed inside living cells, without harming the cell. AREAS COVERED The main focus of this perspective is the future of click chemistry in drug discovery and development, exemplified by novel click chemistry approaches and other aspects of the drug development enterprise, like SPAAC and analogous techniques, PROTACs, as well as diversity-oriented click chemistry. EXPERT OPINION Drug discovery and development has benefited enormously from the amazing advances that have been made in the field of click chemistry since 2001. The methods most likely to have the most future applications include metal-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions giving 1,2,3-triazoles, SPAAC for medical diagnostics and vaccine development, other congeners, Sulfur-Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) and Diversity-Oriented Clicking (DOC), a concept with diverse molecular methodology with the potential for obtaining extensive molecular diversity.

Abstract
The incorporation of transition metal catalysts (TMCs) into nanoscaffolds generates nanocatalysts that replicate key aspects of enzymatic behavior. The TMCs can access bioorthogonal chemistry unavailable to living systems. These bioorthogonal nanozymes can be employed as in situ "factories" for generating bioactive molecules where needed. The generation of effective bioorthogonal nanozymes requires co-engineering of the TMC and the nanometric scaffold. This review presents an overview of recent advances in the field of bioorthogonal nanozymes, focusing on modular design aspects of both nanomaterial and catalyst and how they synergistically work together for in situ uncaging of imaging and therapeutic agents.

Abstract
With unlimited selectivity, full post-translational chemical control of biology would circumvent the dogma of genetic control. The resulting direct manipulation of organisms would enable atomic-level precision in "editing" of function. We argue that a key aspect that is still missing in our ability to do this (at least with a high degree of control) is the selectivity of a given chemical reaction in a living organism. In this Review, we systematize existing illustrative examples of chemical selectivity, as well as identify needed chemical selectivities set in a hierarchy of anatomical complexity: organismo- (selectivity for a given organism over another), tissuo- (selectivity for a given tissue type in a living organism), cellulo- (selectivity for a given cell type in an organism or tissue), and organelloselectivity (selectivity for a given organelle or discrete body within a cell). Finally, we analyze more traditional concepts such as regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective reactions where additionally appropriate. This survey of late-stage biomolecule methods emphasizes, where possible, functional consequences (i.e., biological function). In this way, we explore a concept of late-stage functionalization of living organisms (where "late" is taken to mean at a given state of an organism in time) in which programmed and selective chemical reactions take place in life. By building on precisely analyzed notions (e.g., mechanism and selectivity) we believe that the logic of chemical methodology might ultimately be applied to increasingly complex molecular constructs in biology. This could allow principles developed at the simple, small-molecule level to progress hierarchically even to manipulation of physiology.

Abstract
Macrophages are plastic cells of the immune system that can be broadly classified as having pro-inflammatory (M1-like) or anti-inflammatory (M2-like) phenotypes. M2-like macrophages are often associated with cancers and can promote cancer growth and create an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. Repolarizing macrophages from M2-like to M1-like phenotype provides a crucial strategy for anticancer immunotherapy. Imiquimod is an FDA-approved small molecule that can polarize macrophages by activating toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR 7/8) located inside lysosomes. However, the non-specific inflammation that results from the drug has limited its systemic application. To overcome this issue, we report the use of gold nanoparticle-based bioorthogonal nanozymes for the conversion of an inactive, imiquimod-based prodrug to an active compound for macrophage re-education from anti- to pro-inflammatory phenotypes. The nanozymes were delivered to macrophages through endocytosis, where they uncaged pro-imiquimod in situ. The generation of imiquimod resulted in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The re-educated M1-like macrophages feature enhanced phagocytosis of cancer cells, leading to efficient macrophage-based tumor cell killing.

Abstract
Molecular nanotechnology promises to offer privileged access to developing NIR-II materials with precise structural and functional manipulation for transformable theranostic applications. However, the lack of an affordable, yet general, method makes this goal currently inaccessible. By virtue of the intriguing nucleic acid chemistry, here we present an artificial base-directed topological single-strand DNA encoding design that enables one-step synthesis of valence-controlled NIR-II molecular nanostructures and spatial assembly of these nanostructures to modulate their behaviors in living systems. As proof-of-concept studies, we construct ultrasmall Ag2 S quantum dots and pH-responsive, size-tunable CuS assemblies for in vivo NIR-II fluorescence imaging and deep tumor photothermal therapy. This work paves a new way for creating functionally diversified architectures and broadens the scope of DNA-encoded material engineering.

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
DNA-templated metallization has emerged as an efficient strategy for creating nanoscale-metal DNA hybrid structures with a desirable conformation and function. Despite the potential of DNA-metal hybrids, their use as combinatory therapeutic agents has rarely been examined. Herein, we present a simple approach for fabricating a multipurpose DNA superstructure that serves as an efficient photoimmunotherapy agent. Specifically, we adsorb and locally concentrate Au ions onto DNA superstructures through induced local reduction, resulting in the formation of Au nanoclusters. The mechanical and optical properties of these metallic nanoclusters can be rationally controlled by their conformations and metal ions. The resulting golden DNA superstructures (GDSs) exhibit significant photothermal effects that induce cancer cell apoptosis. When sequence-specific immunostimulatory effects of DNA are combined, GDSs provide a synergistic effect to eradicate cancer and inhibit metastasis, demonstrating potential as a combinatory therapeutic agent for tumor treatment. Altogether, the DNA superstructure-templated metal casting system offers promising materials for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions are a class of chemical reactions that can be carried out in living organisms without interfering with other reactions, possessing high yield, high selectivity, and high efficiency. Since the first proposal of the conception by Professor Carolyn Bertozzi in 2003, bioorthogonal chemistry has attracted great attention and has been quickly developed. As an important chemical biology tool, bioorthogonal reactions have been applied broadly in biomedicine, including bio-labeling, nucleic acid functionalization, drug discovery, drug activation, synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates, and proteolysis-targeting chimeras. Given this, we summarized the basic knowledge, development history, research status, and prospects of bioorthogonal reactions and their biomedical applications. The main purpose of this paper is to furnish an overview of the intriguing bioorthogonal reactions in a variety of biomedical applications and to provide guidance for the design of novel reactions to enrich bioorthogonal chemistry toolkits.

Abstract
Employing living cells as carriers to transport transition metal-based catalysts for target-specific bio-orthogonal catalysis represents a cutting-edge approach in advancing precision biomedical applications. One of the initial hurdles in this endeavor involves effectively attaching the catalysts to the carrier cells while preserving the cells' innate ability to interact with biological systems and maintaining the unaltered catalytic activity. In this study, we have developed an innovative layer-by-layer method that leverages a noncovalent interaction between cucurbit[7]uril and adamantane as the primary driving force for crafting polymeric nanostructures on the surfaces of these carrier cells. The strong binding affinity between the host-guest pair ensures the creation of a durable polymer coating on the cell surfaces. Meanwhile, the layer-by-layer process offers high adaptability, facilitating the efficient loading of bio-orthogonal catalysts onto cell surfaces. Importantly, the polymeric coating shows no discernible impact on the cells' physiological characteristics, including their tropism, migration, and differentiation, while preserving the effectiveness of the bio-orthogonal catalysts.

Abstract
Cuproptosis, a kind of newly recognized cell death modality, shows enormous prospect in cancer treatment. The inducer of cuproptosis has more advantages in tumor therapy, especially that can trigger cuproptosis and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) simultaneously. However, cuproptosis is restricted to the deficiency of intracellular copper ions and the nonspecific delivery of copper-based ionophores. Therefore, high level delivery, responsive release, and utilizing synergistic-function of inducer become the key on cuproptosis-based oncotherapy. In this work, a cascade nanosystem is constructed for enhanced cuproptosis and CDT. In the weak acidic environment of tumor cells, DNA, zinc ions, and Cu+ can release from the nanosystem. Since Cu+ having superior performance in mediating both Fenton-like reaction and cuproptosis, the released Cu+ induces cuproptosis and CDT efficiently, accompanied by Cu2+ generation. Then Cu2+ can be converted into Cu+ partially by glutathione (GSH) to from a Cu+ supply loop and ensure the synergistic action. Meanwhile, the consumption of GSH also contributes to cuproptosis and CDT in return. Finally, DNA and Zn2+ form DNAzyme to shear catalase-related RNA, resulting in the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and further enhancing combination therapy. These results provide a promising nanotherapeutic platform and may inspire the design for potential cancer treatment based on cuproptosis.

Recently, rare diseases have received attention due to the need for improvement in diagnosed patients' and their families' lives. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, severe, progressive, muscle-wasting disease. Today, the therapeutic standard for treating DMD is corticosteroids, which cause serious adverse side effects. Nutraceuticals, e.g., herbal extracts or essential oils (EOs), are possible active substances to develop new drug delivery systems to improve DMD patients' lives. New drug delivery systems lead to new drug effects, improved safety and accuracy, and new therapies for rare diseases. Herbal extracts and EOs combined with click chemistry can lead to the development of safer treatments for DMD. In this review, we focus on the need for novel drug delivery systems using EOs as the therapy for DMD and the potential use of click chemistry for drug delivery systems. New EO complex drug delivery systems may offer a new approach for improving muscle conditions and mental health issues associated with DMD. However, further research should identify the potential of these systems in the context of DMD. In this review, we discuss possibilities for applying EOs to DMD before implementing expensive research in a theoretical way.

Abstract
Background and Objective Transition metals are commonly used catalysts in bioorthogonal chemistry and have attracted extensive attention in biochemistry because of their efficient catalytic performance. In recent years, transition metal-mediated cycloaddition reactions, bond cleavage, and formation reactions are being actively explored for tumor treatment. However, the direct application of transition metals in complex biological environments has several problems, including poor solubility, toxicity, and easy inactivation. The combination of transition metals and nanomaterials can solve those problems by playing a bioorthogonal catalytic role in tumor treatment. In this review, we summarize some research on the application of transition metals modified by nanomaterials in tumor therapy and discuss the potential and challenges of transition metal-mediated bioorthogonal therapy in comprehensive tumor therapy. Methods English literature on transition metal in cancer treatment was searched in PubMed and Web of Science. The main search terms were "cancer treatment", "bioorthogonal reaction", "transition metal", "bioorthogonal catalysis", etc. Key Content and Findings This review summarizes research on several major transition metals that can be used for bioorthogonal catalysis with the assistance of nanomaterials in anti-tumor therapy. In addition, bioorthogonal catalysis is a new supplement to antitumor therapy. We have compiled the potential challenges of the clinical application of transition metal-based nanocatalysts, which lays the foundation for future research related to medicinal chemistry and targeted cancer therapy. Conclusions Most of the transition metals still have a lot of room for exploration in cancer treatment research. We still need more research to confirm the feasibility of in vivo and clinical trials.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered cascade amplification of nanotherapies has attracted considerable attention as an effective strategy for cancer treatment. With the remarkable advances in materials chemistry and nanotechnology, a large number of well-designed nanosystems have emerged that incorporate presupposed cascade amplification processes and can be activated to trigger therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and ferroptosis, under exogenous US stimulation or specific substances generated by US actuation, to maximize antitumor efficacy and minimize detrimental effects. Therefore, summarizing the corresponding nanotherapies and applications based on US-triggered cascade amplification is essential. This review comprehensively summarizes and highlights the recent advances in the design of intelligent modalities, consisting of unique components, distinctive properties, and specific cascade processes. These ingenious strategies confer unparalleled potential to nanotherapies based on ultrasound-triggered cascade amplification and provide superior controllability, thus overcoming the unmet requirements of precision medicine and personalized treatment. Finally, the challenges and prospects of this emerging strategy are discussed and it is expected to encourage more innovative ideas and promote their further development.

Abstract
High-entropy alloys nanoparticles (HEANPs) are receiving extensive attention due to their broad compositional tunability and unlimited potential in bioapplication. However, developing new methods to prepare ultra-small high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (US-HEANPs) faces severe challenges owing to their intrinsic thermodynamic instability. Furthermore, there are few reports on studying the effect of HEANPs in tumor therapy. Herein, the fabricated PtPdRuRhIr US-HEANPs act as bifunctional nanoplatforms for the highly efficient treatment of tumors. The US-HEANPs are engineered by the universal metal-ligand cross-linking strategy. This simple and scalable strategy is based on the aldol condensation of organometallics to form the target US-HEANPs. The synthesized US-HEANPs exhibit excellent peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity and can catalyze the endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore, the US-HEANPs possess a high photothermal conversion effect for converting 808 nm near-infrared light into heat energy. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that under the synergistic effect of POD-like activity and photothermal action, the US-HEANPs can effectively ablate cancer cells and treat tumors. It is believed that this work not only provides a new perspective for the fabrication of HEANPs, but also opens the high-entropy nanozymes research direction and their biomedical application.

Abstract
Controlled-release delivery systems have been widely used to improve the efficacy and bioavailability of pesticides and minimize environmental risks. Herein, a fungicide carbendazim (CBZ)-loaded, a kind of nanovalve including trimethylammoniumpillar[5]arene (AP5), and methyl orange (MO)-functionalized mesoporous selenium (MSe) nanopesticides (CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO) were prepared. The nanovalve endowed CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO with a pH-responsive property, so the CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO can respond to the microenvironment of the pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (S. sclerotiorum). First, MO was shed due to protonation, and AP5-functionalized MSe gradually dissolved in an acid environment. Finally, CBZ was released rapidly. It is reported that AP5 and MO as the host and guest functionalized mesoporous selenium (MSe) have never been applied to agriculture. In vitro release experiments showed that the cumulative release rate of CBZ at pH 4.5 was 1.74 times higher than that in a neutral environment. In addition, we found that the contact angle of the CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO in maize and rape leaves was effectively decreased, which could retain more in the leaves after washout. It can also decrease the dry biomass and the reducing sugar of S.sclerotiorum. The CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO holds a good safety profile for plants, animal cells, and the environment owing to the targeted release properties. These results suggest that CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO is an environmentally friendly and effective drug-loaded system against S. sclerotiorum. It provides a new strategy for the design and development of nanopesticides and the control of S. sclerotiorum.

Abstract
Personalized tumor vaccines have become a promising modality for cancer immunotherapy. However, in situ personalized tumor vaccines generated from immunogenic cancer cell death (ICD) and adjuvants are mired by toxic side effects and unsatisfactory efficiency. Herein, by functionalizing the reticular structure to optimize the catalytic activity of the materials, a series of biocompatible covalent organic framework (COF)-based catalysts have been designed and screened for establishing a bioorthogonal-activated in situ cancer vaccine in an efficient and safe way. Especially, pro-doxorubicin (pro-DOX) could be bioorthogonally activated in situ by the COF-based Fe(II) catalysts, which elicited ICD and released tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). This in situ prodrug activation strategy could minimize drug side effects and maximize treatment effects. More importantly, the system could also catalytically activate pro-imiquimod (pro-IMQ, a TLR7/8 immune agonist), which served as an adjuvant to amplify the antitumor immunity. Notably, this bioorthogonal-activated in situ cancer vaccine not only facilitated a strong antitumor immune response but also prevented the dose-dependent side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, including systemic inflammation caused by the random distribution of adjuvants. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to devise an efficient catalytic platform for generating an in situ bioorthogonal-activated cancer vaccine, which would provide a paradigm for achieving secure and robust immunotherapy.

Abstract
We report a versatile method for the incorporation of functional molecules into oligonucleotides carrying reactive groups by using a template-directed postsynthetic approach in the solution phase. For this purpose, we prepared oligonucleotides carrying an amino group on the backbone by using an acylic threoninol scaffold. The resulting oligonucleotides could be used to introduce almost any molecule carrying aldehyde, which can be, among other things, a metal-binding ligand or a fluorophore. In our study, we incorporated aldehyde-bearing phenanthroline, a metal-binding ligand, into oligonucleotides by template-directed reversible conjugation. We observed that the use of an abasic sugar site instead of a natural nucleobase in the template strand increased the yield of conjugation and induced selective incorporation of the phenanthroline. This method could lead progress in the development of probes for the recognition of abasic regions in duplex DNA. Moreover, template-directed formation of metal ligand-oligonucleotide conjugates might have potential applications in hybrid biocatalysis for enantioselective transformations.

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.

[PMID: 36770184 PMCID: PMC9921263 DOI: 10.3390/ma16031175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Among the most relevant themes of modernity, using renewable resources to produce biofuels attracts several countries' attention, constituting a vital part of the global geopolitical chessboard since humanity's energy needs will grow faster and faster. Fortunately, advances in personal computing associated with free and open-source software production facilitate this work of prospecting and understanding complex scenarios. Thus, for the development of this work, the keywords "biofuel" and "nanocatalyst" were delivered to the Scopus database, which returned 1071 scientific articles. The titles and abstracts of these papers were saved in Research Information Systems (RIS) format and submitted to automatic analysis via the Visualization of Similarities Method implemented in VOSviewer 1.6.18 software. Then, the data extracted from the VOSviewer were processed by software written in Python, which allowed the use of the network data generated by the Visualization of Similarities Method. Thus, it was possible to establish the relationships for the pair between the nodes of all clusters classified by Link Strength Between Items or Terms (LSBI) or by year. Indeed, other associations should arouse particular interest in the readers. However, here, the option was for a numerical criterion. However, all data are freely available, and stakeholders can infer other specific connections directly. Therefore, this innovative approach allowed inferring that the most recent pairs of terms associate the need to produce biofuels from microorganisms' oils besides cerium oxide nanoparticles to improve the performance of fuel mixtures by reducing the emission of hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

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 pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is closely related to several contributing factors, especially amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation. Bioorthogonal reactions provide a general, facile, and robust route for the localization and derivatization of Aβ-targeted agents. Herein, a pair of chiral alkyne-containing metallohelices (ΛA and ΔA) were demonstrated to enantioselectively target and modulate Aβ aggregation, which has been monitored in triple-transgenic AD model mice and proved to improve cognitive function. Compared with its enantiomer ΔA, ΛA performed better in blocking Aβ fibrillation, relieving Aβ-triggered toxicity, and recovering memory deficits in vivo. Moreover, clickable ΛA could act as a functional module for subsequent visualization and versatile modification of amyloid via bioorthogonal reaction. As a proof-of-concept, thioflavin T, tacrine, and magnetic nanoparticles were conjugated with ΛA to realize Aβ photo-oxygenation, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and Aβ clearance, respectively. This proof-of-principle work provided new insights into the biolabeling and bioconjugation of multifunctional metallosupramolecules through click reactions for AD therapy.

Abstract
Substrate selectivity is one of the most attractive features of natural enzymes from their "bind-to-catalyze" working flow and is thus a goal for the development of synthetic enzyme mimics that mediate abiotic transformations. However, despite the recent success in the preparation of substrate-selective enzyme mimics based on single-chain nanoparticles, examples extending such selectivity into living systems have been absent. In this article, we report the in cellulo substrate selectivity of an enzyme-mimicking macromolecular catalyst based on a cationic dense-shell nanoparticle (DSNP) scaffold. With a systematic study on DSNP's structure-activity relationship, we demonstrate that the DSNP has excellent membrane affinity that is governed by several contributing factors, namely, charge density, type of charge, and particle size, and the best-performing phosphonium-rich DSNP can be used as a membrane-embedded catalyst (MEC) for efficient on-membrane synthesis. Importantly, the DSNP catalyst retains its selectivity toward lipophilic and anionic substrates when working as an MEC for on-membrane ligation. The usefulness of such substrate selectivity and on-membrane catalysis strategy was exemplified with several molecules of interest with low cell permeability and anionic nature, which were successfully transported into eukaryotic cells by after their formation directly on the cell membrane.

Abstract
As a burgeoning bioorthogonal reaction, the fluoride-mediated desilylation is capable of prodrug activation. However, due to the reactions lack of cell selectivity and unitary therapy modality, this strongly impedes their biomedical applications. Herein, we construct a cancer cell-selective biomimetic metal-organic framework (MOF)-F platform for prodrug activation and enhanced synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT). With cancer cell membranes camouflage, the designed biomimetic nanocatalyst displays preferential accumulation to homotypic cancer cells. Then, pH-responsive nanocatalyst releases fluoride ions and ferric ions. For activation of our designed prodrug tert-butyldimethyl silyl (TBS)-hydroxycamptothecin (TBSO-CPT), fluoride ions can desilylate TBS and cleave the designed silyl ether linker to synthesize the OH-CPT (10-hydroxycamptothecin) drug molecule, which effectively kills cancer cells. Intriguingly, the bioorthogonal-synthesized OH-CPT drug upregulates intracellular H2O2 by activating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX), amplifying the released iron induced Fenton reaction for synergistic CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate our strategy presents a versatile fluoride-activated bioorthogonal catalyst for cancer cell-selective drug synthesis. Our work may accelerate the biomedical applications of fluoride-activated bioorthogonal chemistry.

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
A visual drug delivery system (DDS) is urgently needed for precision medicine. DDS-mediated bioorthogonal prodrug activation strategies have demonstrated remarkable advantages in enlarging a therapeutic index via the alleviation of adverse drug reactions. However, the events of bioorthogonal prodrug activation remain inaccessible. Here, we construct a self-reporting bioorthogonal prodrug activation system using fluorescence emission to interpret prodrug activation events. In designed reactive oxygen species (ROS)-instructed supramolecular assemblies, the bioorthogonal reaction handle of tetrazine carries a dual role as fluorescence quencher and prodrug activator. The subsequent inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction simultaneously liberates fluorescence and active drugs, which form a linear relationship. Differentiated by their cellular redox status, ROS-instructed supramolecular assemblies form selectively in both tumor cells and cell spheroids. Upon prodrug treatment, the brightness of fluorescence reflects the liberation of active drugs, which further correlates with the cell survival rate. Therefore, a fluorescence-based visualizable DDS (VDDS) for bioorthogonal prodrug activation is demonstrated, which should be useful to elucidate the multi-step processes in drug delivery and determine prodrug activation efficacy.

Abstract
The protein modulation by light illumination enables the biological role investigation in high spatiotemporal precision. Compared to genetic methods, the small molecules approach is uniquely suited for modulating endogenous proteins. The endogenous protein modulation in live cells with small molecules and light has recently advanced on three distinctive frontiers: i) the infrared-light-induced or localized decaging of small molecules by photolysis, ii) the visible-light-induced photocatalytic releasing of small molecules, and iii) the small-molecule-ligand-directed caging for photo-modulation of proteins. Together, these methods provide powerful chemical biology tool kits for spatiotemporal modulation of endogenous proteins with potential therapeutic applications. This Concept aims to inspire organic chemists and chemical biologists to delve into this burgeoning endogenous protein modulation field for new biological discoveries.

Abstract
Aryl azide and diaryl tetrazole are both photoactive molecules, which can form nitrene and nitrile imine intermediates respectively by photolysis. Depending on the new finding that the azide can suppress the photolysis of tetrazole in the azide-tetrazole conjugated system, we developed aryl azide-tetrazole probes for the photoactivatable fluorogenic azide alkyne click (PFAAC) reaction, in which the aryl azide-tetrazole probes were not phoroactivatable fluorogenic itself, but the triazole products after click reaction were prefluorophore that can be activated by light. Therefore, in PFAAC chemistry, the fluorescent probes can be activated by two orthogonal events: azide-alkyne click reaction and light, which leads to spatiotemporal resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. This PFAAC process was proved in vitro by copper catalyzed or strain-promoted azide-alkyne reactions and in live cells by spatiotemporally controlled organelle imaging. By incorporation a linker to the azide-tetrazole conjugate, this PFAAC chemistry could covalently label extra probes to the biomolecules and spatiotemporally detecting this process by photoinduced fluorescence.

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.![]()
