Abstract
Oxygen (O2) is vital in respiratory process that maintains biological balance in mammals. O2 therapeutics treat ischemic tissues by facilitating O2 transport and alleviating cellular hypoxia. The development of O2 carriers focuses on their interactions with molecular O2 to achieve therapeutic effects. This review examines the distinct O2-carrying mechanisms of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) and fluorocarbon-based oxygen carriers (FBOCs), emphasizing their chemical and physical differences. The rational design of O2 carriers for biomedical applications and recent research advances are discussed, focusing on their therapeutic use in acute hemorrhagic shock and organ preservation. Moreover, this review highlights the need to explore the biomedical mechanisms underlying O2 therapeutics further, offering insights for improving O2-carrying capacity and optimizing their applications in medicine.
