Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanomedicine, and in particular to the preparation and application of nanozymes containing N-doped porous carbon nanotubes loaded with Fe single atoms. Background Art
[0002] Bacterial infection-related diseases remain one of the most serious health problems worldwide. Currently, antibiotic therapy remains the mainstay of treatment for bacterial infections. However, the widespread use and misuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, severely reducing the therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotics. Therefore, the development of alternative antimicrobial agents is considered a promising approach to prevent bacterial resistance.
[0003] In recent years, nanozymes have been considered as promising antimicrobial agents. They can act as catalysts to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and achieve broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are nanozymes with theoretically high catalytic performance. They have a structure similar to that of natural enzymes and exhibit a clear coordination structure. By maximizing the use of dispersed metal atoms with catalytic activity, they exhibit catalytic activity 10 to 100 times higher than traditional nanozymes and have better stability. However, compared with the excellent performance of natural enzymes, single-atom nanozymes still face challenges and opportunities in future research. For example, the catalytic activity still needs to be further improved, and they need to have better biocompatibility and low toxicity, as well as better selectivity.
[0004] Chinese invention patent CN119770681A (publication date: April 8, 2025) discloses a biomimetic nanomedicine for treating subcutaneous drug-resistant bacterial infections, as well as its preparation method and application. The invention adds dopamine hydrochloride during the synthesis of a metal-organic framework to prepare a dandelion-shaped carbon nanozyme precursor, which is then carbonized to obtain a carbon nanozyme with targeting, photoresponsiveness, and peroxidase activity. Finally, berberine hydrochloride is loaded on the carbon nanozyme to obtain the biomimetic nanomedicine. The biomimetic nanomedicine proposed in this invention first has good biocompatibility, and secondly has a unique dandelion-like morphology, which is conducive to targeting. Finally, it has a strong light response ability in the near-infrared region, and can synergistically kill bacteria through the action mechanism of antibacterial drugs, photothermal therapy, and chemokinetics. It has important application value in the preparation of drugs for treating subcutaneous drug-resistant bacterial infections and provides a new strategy for nanozyme treatment of bacterial infections.
[0005] Based on the existing technology, in order to better carry out sterilization treatment, it is urgent to design a single-atom nanozyme with efficient multi-type enzyme activities. The nanozyme should include peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), etc., so as to generate a large amount of ROS (O2, ·OH, 1 O2) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to fight bacteria, and produce O2 to relieve hypoxia in infected tissues, consume glutathione to reduce the antioxidant capacity of bacteria, and further enhance the bactericidal effect of ROS; at the same time, the nanozyme should also have excellent photothermal performance (absorb light energy and convert it into heat energy) and have photothermal therapy (PTT) effect. PTT can increase the temperature of the reaction system, on the one hand, for photothermal sterilization, on the other hand, the temperature increase can significantly enhance the catalytic performance of the single-atom nanozyme; in addition, under light irradiation, the nanozyme can also have photodynamic therapy effect, producing singlet oxygen ( 1 O2), enhancing the antibacterial effect of ROS.

[0077] Example 2
[0078] Based on Example 1, this example also provides a nanozyme, which is a nanozyme of N-doped porous carbon nanotubes loaded with Fe single atoms, i.e., FeNC, prepared by the preparation method described in Example 1. For a general diagram of FeNC, please refer to Figure 1 .

[0082] Example 3
[0083] Based on the above Examples 1-2, this example uses nitrogen (N2) adsorption / desorption method and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method to analyze the specific surface area and pore size of NC and FeNC; its N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm and pore size distribution diagram can be found in Figure 5 , A is the specific surface area and pore structure diagram of FeNC prepared in this application, and B is the specific surface area and pore structure diagram of N-doped porous carbon nanotube support NC.

[0088] Example 4
[0089] Based on the above examples 1-3, this example verifies the presence of Fe, N, and C elements by scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) images and electron energy X-ray dispersion spectroscopy (EDS-mapping) elemental maps; the electron energy X-ray dispersion spectroscopy (EDS-mapping) elemental map of FeNC can be found in Figure 6 , high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) images of FeNC can be found in Figure 7 , high-resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) images of FeNC can be found in Figure 8 .
[0090] Elemental mapping images confirmed that Fe, N and C were uniformly distributed in the sample.
[0091] Figure 8 The bright white dots in the middle are monodispersed Fe atoms (red circles), which indicates that the single-atom nanozyme FeNC with Fe single atoms dispersed on the carrier NC has been successfully prepared.

[0097] Example 5
[0098] Based on the above Examples 1-4, this Example verifies the temperature-raising effect of FeNC. Please refer to FIG10 for a diagram of the photothermal temperature-raising effect of FeNC.
[0099] Different concentrations of FeNC (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 μg / ml) were irradiated with an 808 nm near-infrared laser. It can be seen that the temperature of the FeNC nanozyme increased with the increase of concentration under the same irradiation conditions, providing a good photothermal effect for sterilization in skin soft tissue.
[0100] The near-infrared laser irradiation power is 1.0 W / cm 2 , a total of 600s.
[0101] The technical effects achieved in this example are as follows: FeNC demonstrates its excellent photothermal effect. The FeNC nanozyme achieved a photothermal conversion rate of 41.95%. Compared to the control (ultrapure water without FeNC), at room temperature (25°C), after irradiation with an 808nm near-infrared laser for 10 minutes at different concentrations of FeNC (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μg / ml), the temperature in the FeNC group increased by 1.4-2.3 times, ranging from 35°C to 58°C. This indicates that the temperature increased with irradiation time and was positively correlated with the material concentration.
[0102] Example 6
[0103] Based on the above examples 1-5, this example studies the peroxidase (POD)-like activity, catalase (CAT)-like activity and singlet oxygen production of FeNC. 1 The activity of O2 was analyzed; the peroxidase (POD) activity analysis diagram of FeNC is shown in Figure 11 , please refer to the analysis diagram of catalase (CAT) activity of FeNC Figure 12 , FeNC produces singlet oxygen 1 Please refer to the O2 activity analysis chart Figure 13 .
[0104] FeNC catalyzes H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals ·OH through peroxidase-like (POD) activity. 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is then used as a ·OH probe to monitor the absorption peak of its blue oxidation product TMBOX at 652 nm and visualize the color change.
[0105] Figure 11 Figure (A) in the middle shows that FeNC has stronger peroxidase-like catalytic activity in the presence of H2O2; the absorption peak of TMBOX at 652nm produced by the FeNC+TMB+H2O2 group in the presence of H2O2 is significantly increased by 1.6 times compared with the FeNC+TMB group in the absence of H2O2, and the color is darker blue, indicating that the catalytic activity of FeNC's POD is stronger in the presence of H2O2.
[0106] Figure 11 Figure (B) shows that the peroxidase (POD) catalytic activity of FeNC is concentration-dependent with H₂O₂. When 30 μg / ml FeNC is treated with different H₂O₂ concentrations (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mM) via POD activity, the absorption peak at 652 nm for TMBOX production gradually increases, increasing by 1.2- to 1.8-fold compared to the control (0 mM).
[0107] To analyze the catalase-like (CAT) activity of FeNC nanozymes, a dissolved oxygen meter was used to measure the amount of O2 produced by FeNC-catalyzed H2O2;
[0108] Figure 12 Figure (A) shows the curve of FeNC nanozyme (30 μg / ml) and carrier NC (30 μg / ml) catalyzing H2O2 to produce O2, indicating that FeNC can effectively catalyze H2O2 to produce a large amount of O2, indicating that FeNC has catalase (CAT)-like activity;
[0109] Figure 12 Figure (B) shows the O2 production curve of H2O2 catalyzed by FeNC nanozymes at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μg / ml), indicating that the amount of O2 produced increases rapidly with the increase of FeNC concentration and reaction time, indicating that FeNC has excellent catalase (CAT)-like activity; after 10 minutes of action, compared with the control group (FeNC is 0 μg / ml), the amount of O2 produced by H2O2 (5mM) catalyzed by FeNC nanozymes at different concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μg / ml) gradually increased by 2.7 to 4.2 times.
[0110] The control group was pure water; H2O2 was 5mM.
[0111] In order to analyze the generation of singlet oxygen by FeNC under 808 nm near-infrared laser irradiation 1 O2 capacity, using 1,3-diphenylbenzisofuran (DPBF) 1 O2 is detected once DPBF and 1 When combined with O2, DPBF will be irreversibly oxidized, and the absorption intensity of UV-visible light at 420nm will decrease rapidly;
[0112] Figure 13 Middle (A) shows that with the extension of the action time, FeNC nanozyme can rapidly reduce the UV absorption peak of DPBF at 420nm, and the UV absorption peak almost drops to 0 at 12min, while the carrier NC cannot reduce the UV absorption peak of DPBF;
[0113] Figure 13 (B) shows that with the increase of FeNC nanozyme concentration, the UV absorption peak of DPBF gradually decreases, which shows that under 808nm near-infrared laser irradiation, FeNC can catalyze H2O2 to produce singlet oxygen 1 O2.
[0114] The technical effects achieved in this embodiment are as follows: It is demonstrated that FeNC has peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity, catalase (CAT)-like activity and the ability to generate singlet oxygen under 808nm near-infrared laser irradiation. 1 O2's capabilities.
[0115] Example 7
[0116] Based on the above Examples 1-6, this Example analyzes the ability of FeNC to consume glutathione (GSH); the analysis chart of the ability of FeNC to consume glutathione (GSH) can be found in Figure 14 , where (A) is the curve change diagram of FeNC consumption of GSH (10 mM) at 10 μg / ml, (B) is 30 μg / ml, and (C) is 50 μg / ml, and (D) is the curve change diagram of NC consumption of GSH (10 mM) at 10 μg / ml, (E) is 30 μg / ml, and (F) is 50 μg / ml.
[0117] 5,5-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) was used as a probe to detect GSH. When the absorption peak at 412 nm gradually decreased, it indicated that GSH was gradually consumed by FeNC nanozymes.
[0118] like Figure 14As shown in (A), (B), and (C), the consumption of GSH by FeNC nanozymes is time-dependent. 10 μg / ml FeNC nanozymes requires 25 min to basically consume all GSH, while 30 μg / ml and 50 μg / ml FeNC nanozymes can consume all GSH in a shorter time, 15 min and 7 min, respectively. This indicates that the higher the concentration of FeNC nanozymes, the faster the consumption of GSH.
[0119] like Figure 14 As shown in (D), (E), and (F), in comparison, the carrier NC with the same concentration is far from consuming all GSH within the same period of time, which indicates that the ability to rapidly consume GSH mainly comes from the catalytic Fe single atom FeNC nanozyme.
[0120] The technical effects achieved by this embodiment are as follows: it is proved that FeNC has the ability to quickly consume GSH, and the higher the concentration, the faster the consumption of GSH.
[0121] Example 8
[0122] Based on the above Examples 1-7, this Example detects the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacteria during the sterilization process by FeNC. For a diagram showing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacteria during the sterilization process by FeNC, see Figure 15 .
[0123] In order to detect the ability of FeNC nanozymes to produce ROS in cells during the bactericidal process, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) was used as a chemical probe to evaluate the changes in ROS production in bacteria;
[0124] like Figure 15 As shown in (A) and (B), in MRSA and E. coli, the FeNC+NIR, FeNC+H2O2, and FeNC+H2O2+NIR groups showed strong green fluorescence, indicating that ROS were generated in the cells during the bactericidal process of FeNC nanozymes;
[0125] Among them, the FeNC+H2O2+NIR group produced a large amount of ROS through photothermal effect and enzyme-like catalysis. The green fluorescence intensity of ROS produced in the FeNC+H2O2+NIR group of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) was 3.1 times and 3.4 times that of the control group, respectively.
[0126] This example also tested the in vitro antibacterial activity of FeNC.
[0127] To investigate the in vitro antibacterial properties of FeNC, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were used as models;
[0128] Figure 16 Middle (A) shows the antibacterial effect of FeNC nanozyme alone. It can be found that as the concentration of FeNC nanozyme gradually increases, the bactericidal effect on MRSA and E. coli becomes stronger, indicating that FeNC nanozyme itself has a bactericidal effect, and its strength is related to its concentration;
[0129] Figure 16 Figures (B) and (C) show that the FeNC+H2O2 group further enhanced its bactericidal effect against MRSA and E. coli, suggesting that FeNC catalyzes H2O2 to produce toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) (hydroxyl radicals ·OH) that kill bacteria. In the absence of NIR irradiation, the FeNC+H2O2 group achieved bactericidal rates of 39.5% and 37.5% against MRSA and E. coli, respectively, compared to the control group.
[0130] The photothermal effect of FeNC has a relatively strong bactericidal effect. The FeNC+H2O2+NIR group produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) through photothermal effect and enzyme-like catalysis, which has a very strong synergistic antibacterial effect.
[0131] The technical effects achieved in this example are as follows: FeNC nanozymes generate ROS intracellularly during the bactericidal process, demonstrating that the photothermal effect of FeNC has a relatively strong bactericidal effect. The FeNC + H2O2 + NIR treatment, through photothermal and enzyme-like catalysis, generates a large amount of ROS, resulting in a powerful synergistic antibacterial effect. Under NIR irradiation, the synergistic antibacterial effect of the FeNC + H2O2 + NIR treatment achieved a 100% bactericidal rate against both MRSA and E. coli, compared to the control group.
