Abstract:

Nanocatalysts offer possibilities to realize intracellular in situ catalytic reactions for artificially regulating cellular activities at the molecular level. Artificial nanocatalysts have shown excellent catalytic performances in diagnostic imaging and treatment under different physiological and pathological conditions due to their low cost, good stability, and safe yield production. In this review, we summarized the key progress in nanocatalysts with the activities of natural enzymes for cancer and oxidative stress treatments, and the proposed concept of accurate diagnostic imaging based on nanocatalyst-mediated intracellular catalytic reaction, as well as the challenges and prospects of nanocatalysts for further applications in the health care field were discussed.

Key words: Nanocatalyst, Intracellular catalysis, Diagnosis, Cancer, Oxidative stress
