Abstract

Hypoxia, a common characteristic of bacterial infections, is known to be closely associated with the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which hastens the need to develop advanced microbicides and antibacterial techniques. Photodynamic therapy is a promising strategy to reduce bacterial antibiotic resistance and employs photosensitizers, excitation light sources, and sufficient oxygen to generate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). The inherent limitation of PDT is that the generation of ROS is restricted by the hypoxic microenvironment in infection sites. Here, an oxygen self-supplying nanotherapeutic is developed to enhance antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria on the basis of fluorinated boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based glycomimetics. The nanotherapeutic not only could capture the bacteria efficiently but also was able to act as an oxygen carrier to relieve the hypoxic microenvironment of bacterial infections, thus achieving enhanced PDT efficacy. In a infection of a rat cornea, typical administration of the nanotherapeutic decreased the infiltrate and showed a faster healing capacity in comparison with BODIPY-based glycomimetics. Self-supplying oxygen nanotherapeutics that relieve the hypoxic microenvironment and interfere with bacterial colonization have been shown to be a promising candidate for the management of drug-resistant microbial keratitis.

摘要

缺氧是细菌感染的一个常见特征,已知其与多药耐药菌的出现密切相关,这加速了开发先进的杀微生物剂和抗菌技术的需求。光动力疗法是一种减少细菌抗生素耐药性的有前途的策略,它使用光敏剂、激发光源和足够的氧气来产生有毒的活性氧(ROS)。PDT 的固有局限性在于 ROS 的产生受到感染部位缺氧微环境的限制。在这里,基于氟化硼二吡咯甲川(BODIPY)基糖模拟物,开发了一种氧气自供纳米治疗剂,以增强对抗多药耐药菌的抗菌活性。该纳米治疗剂不仅能够有效地捕获细菌,还能够作为氧载体来缓解细菌感染的缺氧微环境,从而实现增强的 PDT 疗效。在大鼠角膜的感染中,与 BODIPY 基糖模拟物相比,典型的纳米治疗剂给药可减少浸润并显示出更快的愈合能力。缓解缺氧微环境和干扰细菌定植的自供氧纳米治疗剂已被证明是治疗耐药性微生物角膜炎的有前途的候选药物。
