In this study, biocompatible metal-free carbon dots were prepared using a hydrothermal method. These carbon dots exhibited peroxidase-like, catalase-like, and superoxide dismutase-like activities. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the potential of these carbon dots in efficiently scavenging excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reducing inflammation.
Aberrant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is one of the crucial mediators in the pathogenesis of inflammation. So, the development of nanocatalytic medicine to catalyze the ROS-scavenging reactions in pathological regions are promising for anti-inflammatory therapy. Herein, a type of biocompatible metal free carbon dots is prepared via a hydrothermal method which can exhibit peroxidase (POD)-like, catalase (CAT)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities. It has been found that the carbon dots have the capability to efficiently deplete the excessive ROS such as peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion (O-2(center dot)) and hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-center dot) for their abundant functional groups. After the tail injection in mice with liver inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide, the carbon dots efficiently reduced the excessive production of ROS and proinflammatory cytokines in vitro. Both in vitro and in vivo results endowed the biocompatible carbon dots with great potential in nanocatalytic medicine for the treatment of disease. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
