Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas therapygarners significant attention for its potential to improve outcomes in various disease treatments. The quantitative control of H2S release is crucial for effective the rapeutic interventions; however, traditional researchon H2S therapy frequently utilizes static release models and neglects the dynamic nature of blood flow. In this study, we propose a novel slow-release in-situ H2S release model that leverages the dynamic hydrolysis of H2S donorswithin the bloodstream. Calcium sulfide nanoparticles (CaS NPs) withmicrosolubility characteristics exhibit continuous H2S release, surpassing 24 h at normal blood flow velocities. The extended-release profile demonstrates superior potential in aligning with the bell-shapedpharmacological effect of H2S, compared to NaHS. Moreover, we synthesisedrare earth-doped CaS NPs (CaS: Eu2+, Sm3+ NPs) tha texhibit persistent luminescence, enabling visualisation of the continuous H2S release in trials. Our results demonstrate that lowdose CaS: Eu2+, Sm3+ NPs significantly reduces seizureduration to 1.2 ± 0.7 minutes, while high dose effectively suppresses colontumor growth with a tumor inhibition rate of 54%. Remarkably, these findings closely resemble endogenous H2S levels in treating epilepsy and tumors. This innovative slow-release, in-situ H2S the rapeutic approach via hydrolysis rejuvenates the development of H2S-basedtherapeutics.
