Copper-based antibacterial materials have emerged as a potential alternative for combating bacterial infections, which continue to pose significant health risks. Nevertheless, the use of copper-based nanoparticles as antibacterial agents has faced challenges due to their toxicity towards cells and tissues. To overcome this obstacle, we propose a new approach using a contact-active copper-based nanoparticles called polydopamine (PDA)-coated copper-amine (Cuf-TMB@PDA). The positively charged surface of Cuf-TMB@PDA enables efficient targeting of negatively charged bacteria, allowing controlled release of Cu(II) into the bacterial cell membrane. Moreover, Cuf-TMB@PDA exhibits similar ·OH signals as Cuf-TMB suspensions in previous work. In cytotoxicity assays conducted over 72 h, Cuf-TMB@PDA demonstrated an efficacy of 98.56%, while releasing lower levels of Cu(II) that were less harmful to cells, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial effects. These antimicrobial properties are attributed to the synergistic effects of charge-contact activity of PDA, controlled release of Cu(II), and free radicals. Subsequent in vivo experiments confirmed the strong antimicrobial potency of Cuf-TMB@PDA and its ability to promote wound healing.
