ABSTRACT
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has infected more than half of the world's population, and is the major cause of gastric cancer. The efficacy of standard antibiotic-based triple therapy is declining due to drug resistance development. Herein, a pH-responsive reactive oxygen species (ROS) nanogenerator (Fe-HMME@DHA@MPN) composed of acid-responsive metal polyphenol network (MPN) shell and mesoporous metal-organic nanostructure core [Fe-HMME (hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether, sonosensitizer)] loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is reported. These nanoparticles generate more ROS singlet oxygen than sonosensitizer HMME under ultrasonication, and this sonodynamic process is fueled by oxygen generated through Fenton/Fenton-like reactions of the degraded product in gastric acid Fe (II) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in the infection microenvironment. The encapsulated DHA, as a hydroperoxide source, is found to enhance the peroxidase-like activity of the Fe-HMME@DHA@MPN to generate ROS hydroxyl radical, beneficial for the microenvironment without sufficient H2 O2 . In vitro experiments demonstrate that the ROS nanogenerators are capable of killing multidrug-resistant H. pylori and removing biofilm, and ROS nanogenerators show high therapeutic efficacy in a H. pylori infection mouse model. Unlike the triple therapy, the nanogenerators display negligible side effects toward the normal gut microbiota. Taken together, these self-enhanced ROS nanogenerators have a great potential for treatment of H. pylori infection.
