ABSTRACT

Nanozymes with superior antioxidant properties offer new hope for treating oxidative stress-related inflammatory skin diseases. However, lacking sufficient catalytic activity or having complex material designs limit the application of current metallic nanozymes in inflammatory skin diseases. Here, we report a simple and effective twin-defect platinum nanowires (Pt NWs) enzyme with multiple mimetic enzymes and broad-spectrum ROS scavenging capability for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases in mice (including psoriasis and rosacea). Pt NWs with simultaneous superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase mimetic enzyme properties exhibit cytoprotective effects against ROS-mediated damage at extremely low doses and significantly improve treatment outcomes in psoriasis- and rosacea-like mice. Meanwhile, these ultrasmall sizes of Pt NWs allow the nanomaterials to effectively penetrate the skin and do not produce significant biotoxicity. Therefore, Pt NWs have potential applications in treating diseases related to oxidative stress or inflammation.
