Abstract

As one of the most widely used drugs, acetaminophen, is the leading cause of acute liver injury. In addition, acetaminophen-induced liver injury (AILI) has a strong relationship with the overproduced reactive oxygen species, which can be effectively eliminated by nanozymes. To address these challenges, mesoporous PdPt@MnO2 nanoprobes (PPM NPs) mimicking peroxide, catalase, and superoxide dismutase-like properties are synthesized. They demonstrate nontoxicity, high colloidal stability, and exceptional reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability. By scavenging excessive ROS, decreasing inflammatory cytokines, and inhibiting the recruitment and activation of monocyte/macrophage cells and neutrophils, the pathology mechanism of PPM NPs in AILI is confirmed. Moreover, PPM NPs' therapeutic effect and good biocompatibility may facilitate the clinical treatment of AILI.

Keywords: PdPt@MnO2 nanoprobes; acute liver injury; multienzyme-like activity; nanozymes; reactive oxygen species.
