Nitric oxide plays an extensive role in the expansion of blood vessels, regulation of blood pressure, and inhibition of platelet adhesion. Supplement of endo- and exo- genous nitric oxide in blood has become an essential approach to the prevention and treatment of thrombosis, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. In this project, a new biomimetic approach was proposed for the artificial catalytical generation of nitric oxide messenger based on the cascade enzyme assemblies. The oxidoreductase and peroxidase will be combined as cascade enzymes for the catalytical generation of nitric oxide in the presence of endogenous arginine, hydrogen peroxide as the intermediate product. The cascade enzymes will be assembled together as nanostructure assemblies simultaneously loading with imaging agent, targeting molecules and intelligent response macromolecules, and guarantee the nitric oxide release in a continuous, steady and controllable manner. The cell toxicity and biological effect of the biomimetic assemblies will be investigated, and the biomimetic assemblies will be further exploited as a nitric oxide donor for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis, and other cardiovascular diseases. This study holds great promise to provide new methods and technologies for the nitric oxide supplement, therapy of cardiovascular diseases. And this project is also an innovative subject that is expected to promote the development of chemical biology and cardiovascular medicine in the cross field of modern biomimetic chemistry and materials assembly.
