Nanocatalytic Tumor Therapy by Single-Atom Catalysts

Huo, Minfeng, Wang, Liying, Wang, Youwei, Chen, Yu, Shi, Jianlin·2019·ACS Nano

Abstract

Initiating localized catalytic chemical reactions in tumor microenvironment (TME) can achieve appealing tumor-therapeutic efficacy concurrently with high specificity and desirable biosafety, which is mainly dependent on the high performance of biomedical nanocatalysts. This report demonstrates that PEGylated single-atom Fe-containing nanocatalysts (PSAF NCs) could effectively trigger the in situ tumor-specific Fenton reaction to generate abundant toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) selectively under the acidic TME. Based on density functional theory, it has been theoretically uncovered that the nanocatalysts could specifically catalyze the heterogeneous Fenton reaction via a proton-mediated H 2 O 2 -homolytic pathway. These generated radicals could not only lead to the apoptotic cell death of malignant tumors, but also induce the accumulation of lipid peroxides, causing tumor cell ferroptosis, which synergistically lead to an impressive tumor suppression outcome. In the meantime, the favorable biodegradability and biocompatibility of PSAF NCs also guarantee their desirable biosafety both in vivo and in vitro .

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.
