Anti-Tumor Therapy through High ROS Performance induced by Ag Nanoenzyme from Boron Cluster with Halloysite Clay Nanotubes

The conventional silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are characterized with high loading rate and stacking phenomenon, leading to shedding caused biotoxicity and low catalytic efficiency. This seriously hinders their application in biomedicine. Here, we modified the highly dispersible Ag NPs and Ag single-atoms (SAs) synthesis by combining the halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) and dodecahydro-dodecaborate ( closo- [B 12 H 12 ] 2– ) to increase the biocompatible properties and decrease the loading rate. This novel Ag single-atom nanoenzyme alongside Ag NPs nanoenzyme avoid the elevated-temperature calcination while maintaining the exceptionally high-level efficiency of Ag utilization via the reducibility and coordination stabilization of closo -[B 12 H 12 ] 2? and HNTs. With theoretical calculation and electron paramagnetic resonance, we confirmed that both Ag SAzymes and Ag NPs in HNT@B 12 H 12 @Ag nanoenzyme are capable decompose the H 2 O 2 into hydroxyl radical (·OH). For the application, we investigated the catalytic activity in the tumor cells and antitumor effects of HNT@B 12 H 12 @Ag nanoenzyme both in vitro and in vivo , and confirmed that it effectively suppressed melanoma growth through ·OH generation, with limited biotoxicity. This study provides a novel Ag nanoenzyme synthesis approach to increase the possibility of its clinical application.
