Abstract

Nanozymes, a class of nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-mimetic activities, have emerged as promising candidates for addressing oxidative stress-related diseases due to their antioxidant properties. These artificial enzymes replicate the function of natural enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase, neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restoring redox balance. The unique physicochemical properties of nanozymes, including tunable catalytic activity, structural stability, and adaptability, have fueled significant interest in their biomedical applications. This review highlights recent advancements in understanding the mechanisms underlying nanozyme antioxidant activity, including surface redox reactions and electron transfer processes. We also discuss therapeutic potential in conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Challenges such as biocompatibility, potential toxicity, and optimization of in vivo delivery are critically analyzed. By synthesizing current knowledge, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and limitations in the application of nanozymes as next-generation antioxidants, offering insights into future research directions.
