The invention provides a biomimetic nano-carrier with dual functions of oxidation and anti-oxidation, a preparation method and application thereof. The biomimetic nano-carrier provided by the invention comprises red blood cell membrane and an organometallic framework coated in the red blood cell membrane, and the organometallic framework is loaded with functionalized SOD enzyme and β-lapachone. After the biomimetic nanocarrier reaches the acidic environment of tumor cells, the metal-ligand bond in the MOF is hydrolyzed to produce protonated ligands that destroy the red blood cell membrane, and the enzyme and drug are released; β-lapachone is oxidized and reduced by the quinone highly expressed in tumor cells Enzyme 1 catalyzes the production of a large amount of superoxide anion, which is catalyzed by SOD enzyme to produce hydrogen peroxide. Finally, iron ions in SOD enzyme catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl free radicals through Fenton reaction, thereby killing tumor cells. The biomimetic nano-carrier provided by the invention not only does not produce drug resistance through enzyme treatment, but also can significantly reduce systemic toxicity caused by drug administration, and has a very high clinical application prospect.
