Abstract:
Nanocatalytic therapy faces limitations from low ROS efficiency and high intracellular GSH. We develop trigonal PtTe2 photozymes (t-PtTe2) with stoichiometry-regulated multi-enzymatic (POD-, CAT-, OXD-like) and NIR-II responses. In acidic tumors, t-PtTe2 generates ˙OH (POD-like), produces O2 (CAT-like), and depletes GSH to amplify ROS. Under NIR-II, it enhances efficacy via photothermal effect and 1O2 photodynamic generation, synergizing with enzyme-catalyzed ROS to induce robust tumor apoptosis with minimal systemic toxicity.
