Article Abstract

Overproduced hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a highly potential target for precise colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy; herein, a novel 5-Fu/Cur-P@HMPB nanomedicine is developed by coencapsulation of the natural anticancer drug curcumin (Cur) and the clinical chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) into hollow mesoporous Prussian blue (HMPB). HMPB with low Fenton-catalytic activity can react with endogenous HS and convert into high Fenton-catalytic Prussian white (PW), which can generate a high level of OH to activate chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and meanwhile trigger autophagy. Importantly, the autophagy can be amplified by Cur to induce autophagic cell death; moreover, Cur also acted as a specific chemosensitizer of the chemotherapy drug 5-Fu, achieving a good synergistic antitumor effect. Such a triple synergistic therapy based on a novel nanomedicine has been verified both and to have high efficacy in CRC treatment, showing promising potential in translational medicine.

d-Amino acid oxidase from (DAAO) is valuable for pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis due to its high enantioselectivity, but its poor thermostability limits extensive application. This study proposed a synergistic strategy of "sequence consensus design coupled with structure modification" to enhance DAAO thermostability. Through homologous sequence analysis and greedy algorithm-based optimization, a triple mutant M3 (S18T/V7I/Y132F) was obtained, showing a 3.

Chemical C-N coupling from CO and N toward urea synthesis is an appealing approach for Bosch-Meiser urea production. However, this process faces significant challenges, including the difficulty of N activation, high energy barriers, and low selectivity. In this study, we theoretically designed a Ni triple-atom doped CuO catalyst, Ni TAC@CuO, which exhibits exceptional urea synthesis performance.

While reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) hold promise for cancer treatment, their efficacy remains constrained by tumor microenvironment (TME) barriers: glutathione (GSH) overexpression, insufficient HO supply, and hypoxia. To address these limitations, we engineered a Trojan horse-inspired MnO-shelled CaO nanoreactor (CaO/MnO-Ce6-PEG) by employing a sequential TME reprogramming strategy, triggering a cascading ROS storm for enhanced CDT and PDT. The outer MnO layer first depletes GSH through redox conversion, exposing the CaO core hydrolysis, and subsequently providing HO for CDT and O for ameliorating hypoxia to boost Ce6-mediated PDT.
