Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a method utilizing mesoporous Fe 0 Methods and applications of nanomaterials to enhance the activity of gallic acid. Background Technology

[0002] Gallic acid is a polyphenolic organic compound found ubiquitously in plants in nature and is safe and beneficial to organisms. Polyphenol species possess numerous potential health benefits. There is ample evidence that certain polyphenols exert numerous beneficial effects through their antioxidant activity, protecting the body from various diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Gallic acid is a key bioactive component of green tea, and gallic acid extracted from tea leaves has been shown to possess various biological and pharmaceutical functions, such as anti-fatigue, antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-angiogenic effects. The quinones and semiquinones formed by the autoxidation of gallic acid have the function of accelerating electron transfer during electron transfer processes. Simultaneously, the formed quinones can convert H₂O₂ into… 1 O2 (Equation 1).

[0003] Chemokinetic therapy (CDT) is a novel cancer treatment approach that has emerged in recent years. CDT utilizes the Fenton reaction, with ferrous ions acting as a catalyst, to convert H₂O₂ into highly oxidized ·OH (Equation 2). Among common ROS, ·OH possesses the strongest oxidizing power (E(·OH / H₂O) = 2.80V, E( 1 With E(H2O2 / H2O) = 2.17V and E(H2O2 / H2O) = 1.78V, the Fenton reaction has proven to be an effective strategy for inducing cancer cell death by utilizing the high levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide expressed in most tumors. Therefore, we employed zero-valent iron (Fe2O3 / H2O) as an example. 0 The material, acting as a carrier for GA, can activate oxygen molecules as an electron donor to generate a large amount of H2O2 (Equation 3), releasing Fe... 2+ ·OH can be efficiently generated via the Fenton reaction. It is worth noting that gallic acid reacts with ferrous ions (Fe... 2+ The complexation reaction of iron-gallic acid (Fe-GA) is the key chemical reaction in the preparation of ink, forming a blue-violet iron-gallic acid (Fe-GA) metal complex. Interestingly, this iron coordination compound exhibits high reducing power; it can donate electrons from the gallate ligand to surrounding free oxygen molecules, reducing oxygen (O2) to superoxide anion (O2⁻). ·-The presence of ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Equation 4) increases the intratumoral H2O2 content, leading to the generation of large amounts of ·OH within the tumor and inducing ferroptosis. Ferrroptosis is a necrotic cell death mechanism catalyzed by ferrous ions. It is characterized by the inactivation of the intracellular reducing system, resulting in the oxidation of lipid molecules containing polyunsaturated fatty acids located on the intracellular membrane by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The accumulation of these lipid peroxides ultimately causes cell membrane rupture, increasing intracellular ROS levels and inducing tumor cell death.
