Abstract

Bacterial infection and oxidative stress represent significant clinical challenges in wound management. Upon tissue damage, bacterial colonization triggers excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and persistent inflammation, forming a vicious cycle that impairs wound healing. The development of nanomedicines integrating antibacterial and antioxidant functionalities is a promising therapeutic strategy to concurrently combat pathogen invasion and oxidative damage. Herein, we fabricated a core–shell nanoplatform (PB@Se@TA-Fe) through a green and mild strategy, where tannic acid (TA) plays a dual role: reducing Na 2 SeO 3 to generate an intermediate selenium layer on Prussian blue (PB) cores and coordinating with Fe 2+ to form a stabilizing polyphenolic metal network as the outer shell. This TA-Fe shell firmly stabilizes the Se interlayer, yielding structurally robust nanoparticles with a sandwich-like architecture. The core-interlayer-shell configuration enables synergistic integration of all components, conferring superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like, catalase (CAT)-like, glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like, and peroxidase (POD)-like enzymatic activities for ROS elimination. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the nanoplatform exhibits photothermal conversion ability and broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). In vitro, PB@Se@TA-Fe alleviates H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage. In a bacterial infection wound model, the nanoplatform significantly accelerates wound healing by eliminating pathogens and reducing oxidative stress, indicating its potential for oxidative stress-related disorders and infectious wounds.
