Research advances in nanozyme-based therapies for acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are serious respiratory conditions associated with high mortality rates, necessitating effective therapeutic strategies. In recent years, nanozymes have emerged as a promising treatment modality for ALI/ARDS due to their superior biocompatibility and targeting capabilities. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the definition and classification of nanozymes and summarizes their advantages and mechanisms of action in ALI and ARDS, including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, and promotion of cellular repair. We further discuss representative nanozyme types, including metal oxide, noble metal, carbon-based, and emerging platforms, as well as design and optimization strategies and pre-clinical evidence from animal models. We also compare nanozyme-based therapies with current pharmacotherapies for ALI/ARDS, highlighting their potential advantages in multi-enzyme-like catalytic activity, pulmonary targeting, and combined antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Finally, we address the challenges and future directions associated with clinical translation. In summary, nanozymes represent a promising therapeutic platform for ALI/ARDS, but their clinical translation will require further optimization of delivery, safety, standardization, and scalable manufacturing.
