Nanozymes are nanomaterials that emulate the catalytic functions of natural enzymes. They are considered a viable alternative to natural enzymes due to their high stability, ease of production, low synthesis costs, and significant catalytic potential. Unlike natural enzymes, nanozymes can withstand high temperatures and are less susceptible to degradation in physiological systems, making them suitable candidates for various medicinal applications. Nanodynamic therapies, including chemodynamic, photothermal, photodynamic, and sonodynamic therapies, exhibit effective apoptotic activity in cancer treatment by generating reactive oxygen species. Consequently, nanozymes have garnered considerable attention in the field of oncology. These therapies tend to be more effective when combined with nanozymes, enhancing cancer treatment by facilitating targeted cell death in tumors. This review delves into the fabrication processes of nanozymes, highlighting various methods including sol-gel synthesis, chemical precipitation, and hydrothermal techniques. Also, this review classifies nanozymes based on their origin, including natural, synthetic, and hybrid types, and discusses their distinct properties that contribute to their applicability in cancer therapy. Furthermore, the review explores diverse therapeutic approaches utilizing nanozymes, including targeted drug delivery, photothermal therapy, and combination therapies, elucidating their mechanisms of action and potential to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. By integrating nanozymes into cancer therapy, we aim to pave the way for more effective and personalized treatment strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes. This detailed exploration offers valuable insights for researchers and clinicians aiming to harness the unique capabilities of nanozymes in the ongoing fight against cancer.
纳米酶是模拟天然酶催化功能的纳米材料。由于其高稳定性、易于生产、合成成本低以及显著的催化潜力,它们被认为是天然酶的可行替代品。与天然酶不同,纳米酶能够承受高温,并且在生理系统中不易降解,这使其成为各种医学应用的合适候选者。包括化学动力学、光热、光动力和声动力疗法在内的纳米动力学疗法,通过产生活性氧在癌症治疗中表现出有效的凋亡活性。因此,纳米酶在肿瘤学领域引起了相当大的关注。当与纳米酶联合使用时,这些疗法往往更有效,通过促进肿瘤中的靶向细胞死亡来增强癌症治疗效果。本综述深入探讨了纳米酶的制备过程,重点介绍了包括溶胶 - 凝胶合成、化学沉淀和水热技术在内的各种方法。此外,本综述根据纳米酶的来源对其进行分类,包括天然、合成和杂化类型,并讨论了它们有助于在癌症治疗中应用的独特性质。此外,该综述还探讨了利用纳米酶的多种治疗方法,包括靶向药物递送、光热疗法和联合疗法,阐明了它们的作用机制以及在最小化副作用的同时提高治疗效果的潜力。通过将纳米酶整合到癌症治疗中,我们旨在为更有效和个性化的治疗策略铺平道路,最终改善患者的治疗效果。这一详细的探索为旨在利用纳米酶独特能力进行抗癌斗争的研究人员和临床医生提供了有价值的见解。
