Abstract

Here, we present a pleiotropic nanomedicine-a smart, functionalized redox buffering nanoparticle-that may be used to treat hematological diseases, associated splenic hyperplasia, and issues related to restricted erythropoiesis. With a diameter of 5-7 nm, the spherical nanomaterial is made of manganese oxide and citrate. Here, we have produced the novel nanomaterial and, using cutting-edge electron microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, extensively assessed its redox buffering potential in vitrowith its structural integrity. Using an appropriate animal model (phenyl hydrazine, PHz, intoxicated C57BL/6J mice), we assessed the therapeutic efficacy of the redox buffering nanomedicine in the treatment of anemia and related consequences. We have further investigated the intricate molecular mechanism of the nanomedicine and its therapeutic impact, which includes increased erythropoiesis and G6PDH production, decreased inflammatory responses, mitigation of splenic hyperplasia, and synergistic intracellular redox-buffering. To the best of our knowledge, our studies would find relevance in the innovative management of anemia, decreased erythropoiesis, and splenic hyperplasia.
