Self‐Supplying O2 through the Catalase‐Like Activity of Gold Nanoclusters for Photodynamic Therapy against Hypoxic Cancer Cells
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) typically involves oxygen (O 2) consumption and therefore suffers from greatly limited anticancer therapeutic efficacy in tumor hypoxia. Here, it is reported for the first time that amine‐terminated, PAMAM dendrimer‐encapsulated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs‐NH 2) can produce O 2 for PDT via their intrinsic catalase‐like activity. The AuNCs‐NH 2 not only show optimum H 2 O 2 consumption via the catalase‐like activity over the physiological pH range (i.e., pH 4.8–7.4), but also extend such activity to acidic conditions. The possible mechanism is deduced from that the enriched tertiary amines of dendrimers are easily protonated in acidic solutions to facilitate the preadsorption of OH on the metal surface, thereby favorably triggering the catalase‐like reaction. By taking advantage of the exciting feature on AuNCs‐NH 2, the possibility to supply O 2 via the catalase‐like activity of AuNCs‐NH 2 for PDT against hypoxia of cancer cells was further studied. This proof‐of‐concept study provides a simple way to combine current O 2‐dependent cancer therapy of PDT to overcome cancer cell hypoxia, thus achieving more effective anticancer treatments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
