Abstract The emergence of drug‐resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to people's lives and health as bacterial infections continue persist. Currently, antibiotic therapy remains the primary approach for tackling infections. However, escalating rates drug resistance coupled with lag in development novel drugs have led diminishing effectiveness conventional treatments. Therefore, nonantibiotic‐dependent therapeutic strategies has become imperative impede rise resistance. chemodynamic (CDT) opened up new possibility due CDT can convert H 2 O into •OH via Fenton/Fenton‐like reaction treatment. efficacy is limited by variety practical factors. To overcome this limitation, sterilization efficiency be enhanced introducing therapeutics inherent antimicrobial capability. In addition, researchers explored CDT‐based combined therapies augment its effects mitigate potential toxic side toward normal tissues. This review examines research progress field, explores various enhance presents synergistic combination other modalities. And last, current challenges faced future directions are discussed.

The slow healing of diabetic wounds has seriously affected human health. Meanwhile, the open are susceptible to bacterial infection. Clinical therapeutic methods such as antibiotic therapy, insulin treatment, and surgical debridement have made great achievements in treatment wounds. However, drug-resistant bacteria will develop after long-term use antibiotics, resulting decreased efficacy. To improve effect, increasing drug concentration is a common strategy clinical practice, but it also brings serious side effects. In addition, hyperglycemia control or can easily bring negative effects patients, hypoglycemia damage normal tissue. Therefore, essential novel strategies effectively promote wound healing. recent years, nanozyme-based systems received extensive attention because they possess advantages nanomaterials natural enzymes. For example, nanozymes small size high surface area volume ratio, which enhance tissue penetration increase reactive active sites. Moreover, compared with enzymes, more stable catalytic activity, lower production cost, stronger operability. this review, we first reviewed basic characteristics then elaborated on mechanism action principle different types from three aspects: controlling infection, hyperglycemia, relieving inflammation. Finally, challenges, prospects future implementation for outlined.

Abstract Chronic wounds caused by bacterial infections are a major challenge in medical fields. The hypoxia condition extremely induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and upregulates the expression of hypoxia‐inducible factor, both which can increase pro‐inflammatory M1 subtype macrophages production while reducing anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophages. Besides, bacteria‐formed biofilms hinder penetration therapeutic agents. Encouraged natural motors automatically executing tasks, hypothesized that supplying sufficient (O 2 ) would simultaneously drive agent movement, rescue hypoxic microenvironment, disrupt vicious cycle inflammation. Here, small organic molecule‐based nanoparticles (2TT‐mC6B@Cu 5.4 O NPs) possess high photothermal conversion efficiency enzymatic activities developed, including superoxide dismutase‐, catalase‐, glutathione peroxidase‐like activity. 2TT‐mC6B@Cu NPs exhibit superior ROS‐scavenging abilities synergistically relieve inflammation, alleviate conditions, promote their deep chronic wound tissues.
