摘要

Nanozymes have significant potential in human health applications. However, their use in tumor therapy has been restricted by limitations in tumor targeting and retention. Here, we report a 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu)-loaded BSA-palladium nanozyme (FBP) for synergistic treatment of colorectal cancer. The FBP nanozyme was fabricated by conjugation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil, followed by thermal reduction-mediated precipitation of palladium nanozymes. The BSA shell enhanced biocompatibility and promoted tumor-targeted accumulation via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The FBP nanozyme exhibited both oxidase- and peroxidase-like properties, generating abundant reactive oxygen species to induce tumor cell death. Furthermore, FBP achieved efficient photothermal conversion under 808 nm laser irradiation, triggering 5-fluorouracil release and suppressing tumor growth by hyperthermia. This FBP-mediated photothermal ability was effective in eliminating tumors with negligible systemic toxicity. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of this novel nanozyme in combined photothermal treatment for colorectal cancer.
