Metal‐Phenolic Nanocapsules with Photothermal Antibacterial and Ros Scavenging Ability for Diabetic Wound Healing

Abstract

The presence of bacteria in diabetic wounds not only leads to the formation of biofilms but also triggers oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, which hinder the wound‐healing process. Therefore, it is imperative to formulate a comprehensive strategy that can proficiently eliminate bacteria and enhance the wound microenvironment. Herein, w e developed multifunctional metal‐phenolic nanozymes (TA‐Fe/Cu nanocapsules), wherein the one‐pot coordination of tannic acid and Fe3+/Cu2+ using a self‐sacrificial template afforded hollow nanoparticles (NPs) with exceptional photothermal and reactive oxygen species scavenging capabilities. After photothermal disruption of the biofilms, TA‐Fe/Cu NPs autonomously capture bacteria through hydrogen bonding interactions with peptidoglycans (the bacterial cell wall component), ultimately bolstering the bactericidal efficacy. Furthermore, these NPs exhibit peroxidase‐like enzymatic activity, efficiently eliminating surplus hydrogen peroxide in the vicinity of the wound and mitigating inflammatory responses. As the wound transitions into the remodeling phase, the presence of Cu2+ stimulates vascular migration and regeneration, expediting the wound‐healing process. This study innovatively devised a minimalist approach to synthesize multifunctional metal‐phenolic nanozymes integrating potent photothermal antibacterial activity, bacterial capture, anti‐inflammatory, and angiogenesis properties, showcasing their great potential for diabetic wound treatment.This article is protected by copyright.

Supramolecular Coordination Complexes for Synergistic Cancer Therapy

“…This increased interest stems from the multifaceted therapeutic contributions of PTT. PTT effectively converts light energy into thermal energy, leading to an increase in the temperature of tumor sites and subsequent tumor cell ablation. , PTT can potentiate the effects of chemotherapeutic agents through several mechanisms: (1) hypothermia promotes enhanced permeability of the cell membrane, facilitating a more efficient accumulation of NPs in the cancer cells; (2) hyperthermia can downregulate the expression of multidrug resistance (MDR)-related genes such as P-gp, thereby mitigating or overcoming MDR in cancer cells; and (3) hyperthermia can hinder the ability of cancer cells to repair DNA damage induced by anticancer drugs, ultimately amplifying the cytotoxic effects of these drugs . Therefore, the development of highly efficient photothermal agents characterized by strong light absorption and high photothermal-conversion efficiency is of paramount importance because it can significantly augment the therapeutic efficacy of PTT .…”

Nanozymes for the Therapeutic Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

“…Therefore, it is imperative to develop a multifunctional photothermal nanomaterial that can simultaneously penetrate biofilms and modulate the microenvironment of inflammatory wounds. Qin et al 182 developed a multifunctional metal-phenolic nanozyme (TA-Fe/Cu nanoencapsules) by a one-pot method using ZIF-8 as a self-sacrificial template mixed with tannic acid (TA). After effectively disrupting the dense biofilm through PTT, TA-Fe/Cu NPs autonomously capture bacteria through hydrogen bonding interactions with peptidoglycan (a bacterial cell wall component), ultimately enhancing the bactericidal efficacy.…”
