Abstract
In this work, for the first time, we constructed a novel multi‐nanozymes cooperative platform to mimic intracellular antioxidant enzyme‐based defense system. V2O5 nanowire served as a glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimic while MnO2 nanoparticle was used to mimic superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Dopamine was used as a linker to achieve the assembling of the nanomaterials. The obtained V2O5@pDA@MnO2 nanocomposite could serve as one multi‐nanozyme model to mimic intracellular antioxidant enzyme‐based defense procedure in which, for example SOD, CAT, and GPx co‐participate. In addition, through assembling with dopamine, the hybrid nanocomposites provided synergistic antioxidative effect. Importantly, both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that our biocompatible system exhibited excellent intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) removal ability to protect cell components against oxidative stress, showing its potential application in inflammation therapy.
