An orally administered gold nanocluster with ROS scavenging for inflammatory bowel disease treatment by Fei Wang, Qianhui Li, Tingting Xu, Zhu Li, Yongxin Jiang, Yan Ma, Xiaohu Li, Wanni Wang, Haisheng Qian

“…Herein, ultrasmall Au25 nanoclusters (Au25 NCs) were synthesized using a simple improved protocol, which has good physiological stability and biosafety and can be noninvasively monitored by clinical computed tomography (CT) after oral administration. Au25 NCs can eliminate ROS such as ABTS radicals, superoxide free radicals (•O2−), and hydroxyl free radicals (•OH), upregulate the expression level of antioxidant enzymes, inhibit the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, and finally interrupt the inflammatory circuit of IBD to achieve the effective prevention and delayed treatment of IBD. …”
