Superoxide Dismutase, A Potential Theranostics Against Oxidative Stress Caused by Nanomaterials

Abstract

Nanomaterials can result in oxidative stress damage, how to prevent oxidative stress caused by nanomaterialshave become our concerns. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) performs some special functions inside the living cells such as combating with the reactive oxygen species (ROS), interfering with the injured made by the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and repairing the damage induced by these ROS, exhibiting great application prospects in clinical therapy. Herein we review the main advances of SOD and its high efficient delivery systems, and explore the issue, challenges, and prospects with the aim of developing novel nanoscaletheranostics against oxidative stress-induced damages caused nanomaterials.
