Abstract
The exciting success of NBTXR3 in the clinic has triggered a tumult of activities in the design and development of hafnium-based nanoparticles. However, due to the concerns of nondegradation and limited functions, the biomedical applications of Hf-based nanoparticles mainly focus on tumors. Herein, tannic acid capped hafnium disulfide (HfS2@TA) nanosheets, a 2D atomic crystal of hafnium-based materials prepared by liquid-phase exfoliation, were explored as high-performance anti-inflammatory nanoagents for the targeted therapy of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Benefiting from the transformation of the S2-/S6+ valence state and huge specific surface area, the obtained HfS2@TA nanosheets were not only capable of effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species and downregulating pro-inflammatory factors but also could be excreted via kidney and hepatointestinal systems. Unexpectedly, HfS2@TA maintained excellent targeting capability to an inflamed colon even in the harsh digestive tract environment, mainly attributed to the electrostatic interactions between negatively charged tannic acid and positively charged inflamed epithelium. Encouragingly, upon oral or intravenous administration, HfS2@TA quickly inhibited inflammation and repaired the intestinal mucosa barrier in both dextran sodium sulfate and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid induced IBD models. This work demonstrated that ultrathin HfS2@TA atomic crystals with enhanced colon accumulation were promising for the targeted therapy of IBD.
