Abstract
In spite of rapid emergence of numerous nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications, it is often challenging to precisely control, or effectively tame, the bioactivity/toxicity of NPs, thereby exhibiting limited applications in areas. Herein, we report the construction of hyaluronic acid (HA) laminated, otherwise toxic methylviologen (MV) NPs, via ternary host-guest complexation between cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), trans-azobenzene conjugated HA, and MV-functionalized polylactic acid NPs (MV-NPs). The high, non-specific toxicity of MV-NPs was effectively shielded (turned-off) by HA lamination, as demonstrated in cells, zebrafish, and mouse models. The supramolecular host-guest interactions mediated HA coating offered HA-MV-NPs several modalities, including hyaluronidase locally and photo-irradiation remotely, to precisely remove HA lamination on demand, thereby endowing materials with the capability of selective decoating-induced activation (DIA) for applications as a user-friendly herbicide, a selective antibacterial agent or an anticancer nanomedicine. This work offers facile supramolecular coating and DIA strategies to effectively tame and precisely control the bioactivity and toxicity of functional nanomaterials for diverse applications.
