Abstract
AbstractNanozymes with intrinsic enzyme‐like characteristics have attracted enormous research interest in biological application. However, there is a lack of facile approach for evaluating the catalytic activity of nanozymes in living system. Herein, we develop a novel manganese‐semiconducting polymer‐based nanozyme (MSPN) with oxidase‐like activity for reporting the catalytic activity of itself in acid‐induced cancer therapy via ratiometric near‐infrared fluorescence (NIRF)‐photoacoustic (PA) molecular imaging. Notably, MSPN possess oxidase‐like activity in tumor microenvironment, owing to the mixed‐valent MnOx nanoparticles, which can effectively kill cancer cells. Because the semiconducting polymer (PFODBT) is conjugated with oxidase‐responsive molecule (ORM), the catalytic activity of nanozyme can be correlated with the ratiometric signals of NIRF (FL695/FL825) and PA (PA680/PA780), which may provide new ideas for predicting anticancer efficacy of nanozymes in living system.
