Heterogeneous Cu2O-SnO2 doped polydopamine fenton-like nanoenzymes for synergetic photothermal-chemodynamic antibacterial application

Wound infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria pose a great threat to human health, and the development of non-drug-resistant antibacterial approaches has become a research priority. In this study, we developed Cu2O-SnO2 doped polydopamine (CSPDA) triple cubic antibacterial nanoenzymes with high photothermal conversion efficiency and good Fenton-like catalase performance. CSPDA antibacterial nanoplatform can catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) from H2O2 at low concentration (50 μg∙mL-1) under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation to achieve a combined photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). And the CSPDA antibacterial nanoplatform displays broad-spectrum and long-lasting antibacterial effects against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli (100 %) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (100 %) in vitro. Moreover, in a mouse wound model with mixed bacterial infection, the nanoplatform demonstrates a significant in vivo bactericidal effect while remaining good cytocompatible. To conclude, this study successfully develops an efficient and long-lasting bacterial infection treatment system. This system provided different options for future studies on the design of synergistic antimicrobial therapy. Hence, the as-synthesized synergetic photothermal therapy and chemodynamic therapy nanoenzymes have rapid and long-term bactericidal ability, well-conglutinant performance and effectively preventing wound infection for clinical application.
