Finely tuned Prussian blue-based nanoparticles and their application in disease treatment

Abstract

The Prussian blue (PB) based nanostructure is a mixed-valence coordination network with excellent biosafety, remarkable photothermal effect and multiple enzyme-mimicking behaviours. Compared with other nanomaterials, PB-based nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit several unparalleled advantages in biomedical applications. This review begins with the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of PB-based NPs. The tuning strategies of PB-based NPs and their biomedical properties are systemically demonstrated. Afterwards, the biomedical applications of PB-based NPs are comprehensively recounted, mainly focusing on treatment of tumors, bacterial infection and inflammatory diseases. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of PB-based NPs and their application in disease treatment are discussed.
