Nat. Commun., Institute of Silicon, Chinese Academy of Sciences: Tumor-specific nanocatalytic medical therapy through nanocatalyst delivery

【introduction】

Nanobiomedicine is an emerging field of science and technology. Because nanomaterials range from 0.1 to 100 nm, they are especially suitable for molecular level operations. Nanomaterials can repair mutated genes, kill cancer cells and bacteria and viruses that invade the human body, release drugs at appropriate time, and trace substances needed by the human body. Nanomaterials have extremely important applications in cancer treatment and have great potential value.

[Introduction]

Recently, Shi Jianlin and Chen Yu (common communication) of the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and others have loaded natural glucose oxidase (GOD, enzyme catalyst) and ultra-small Fe3O4 nanoparticles (inorganic nano-enzyme catalyst) into degradable macropores. A nano-catalyst GOD-Fe3O4@DMSN (GFD NCs) with linkage effect was prepared in dendritic silica nanoparticles (DMSN), and the non-toxic nano-catalyst with good biocompatibility was delivered to the tumor site in the tumor. Under the stimulation of microenvironment excess glucose nutrition and slightly acidic metabolic environment, it is transformed into a reactive oxygen species-hydroxyl radical which is highly toxic to tumor cells, which induces apoptosis of tumor cells. Related results were published in Nat. entitled "Tumor-selective catalytic nanomedicine by nanocatalyst delivery". Commun. .

【summary】

Shi Jianlin and Chen Yu and others have introduced the concept of continuous catalysis into nanomedicine by carefully designing multifunctional nanocatalysts with excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, thus effectively inhibiting tumor growth. In the experiment, natural GOD and ultra-small Fe3O4 nanoparticles were simultaneously loaded into a large pore size DMSN to construct a continuous catalytic nano-catalyst GFD NCs. This has successfully demonstrated the concept of linked catalytic nanomedicine therapy for GFD NCs.
