Infections caused by bacteria pose a serious threat to public health, and there is need for numerous innovative, antibiotic-free antimicrobial medicines. Herein, we describe the synthesis of CuS/Co-ferrocene-MOF (CuS/Co-Fc-MOF) nanocomposites, formed coupling CuS nanoparticles (NPs) two-dimensional (2D) Co-Fc-MOF nanosheets, that constitutes an platform capable near-infrared (NIR) photothermal promotion chemodynamic antibacterial. 2D CuS/Co-Fc-MOF nanocomposites consist nanosheets with dimensions approximately 100–200 nm thicknesses 13.1–15.6 nm, where NPs, size about 8 are excellently dispersed on surface nanosheets. The diverse valence states cobalt iron in enable them undergo Fenton-like reactions H2O2, thus generating highly oxidizing ·OH therapy (CDT). utilization local plasmonic resonance effect NPs enables enhancement CDT activity under laser irradiation. More importantly, can achieve rapid (15 min) NIR laser-assisted killing both S. aureus E. coli bacterial infection microenvironment compared Therefore, be employed as promising nanoagent promote photothermally augmented antibacterial therapy.

Carbon Dots with Integrated Photothermal Antibacterial and Heat‐Enhanced Antioxidant Properties for Diabetic Wound Healing

Small, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 20(45)

Опубликована: Июль 25, 2024

Abstract Diabetic wounds pose a persistent challenge due to their slow healing nature, primarily caused by bacterial infection and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐induced inflammation. In this study, carbon dots with synergistic antibacterial antioxidant properties, referred as AA‐CDs, are developed specifically for diabetic wound using straightforward solvothermal method. By utilizing cost‐effective precursors like citric acid ascorbic acid, AA‐CDs engineered possess tailored functions of photothermal sterilization ROS scavenging. The resulting demonstrats broad‐spectrum activity, particularly against multidrug‐resistant strains, along efficient scavenging both in solution within cells. Additionally, exhibits protective effect oxidative stress‐induced damage. Notably, high conversion efficiency (41.18%), displays heat‐enhanced performance, providing not only augmented but also additional protection stress, yielding true “1 + 1 > 2” effect. To facilitate use vivo, incorporated into thermally responsive hydrogel, which evident anti‐inflammatory properties modulating inflammatory factors significantly promots the wounds. This study underscores value integrated platforms highlights potential versatile CDs promising therapeutic agents biomedical applications.

Antifungal Performance and Mechanisms of Carbon Quantum Dots in Cellulosic Materials

ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 4, 2025

Cellulosic materials, which are widely utilized in daily life, highly susceptible to fungal degradation. However, commercial fungicides usually toxic, posing severe threats human health and the environment, highlighting necessity of developing eco-friendly antifungal agents for cellulosic materials. In this work, we synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) via a microwave-assisted method. CQDs with proper structure demonstrated significant effects against both brown-rot (Postia placenta, Pp) white-decay fungi (Trametes versicolor, Tv) on various The underlying mechanisms materials were further elucidated. We found that positively charged nanosized primarily adhered penetrated into cell membranes. This led metabolism disorder, reduction enzymatic activities, ultimately death, as confirmed by transcriptome analysis. Additionally, generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light, causing oxidation dysfunction wall. Furthermore, have ability chelate Fe3+, results inhibition Fenton reaction hindering nonenzymatic cellulose These findings suggest inhibit degradation through integrated mechanisms, potential implications sustainable applications.
