Chemical Reviews

Since the first connection between Fenton chemistry and biomedicine, numerous studies have been presented in this field. Comprehensive presentation of the guidance from Fenton chemistry and a summary of its representative applications in cancer therapy would help us understand and promote the further development of this field. This comprehensive review first supplies basic information regarding Fenton chemistry, including Fenton reactions and Fenton-like reactions. Subsequently, the current progress of Fenton chemistry is discussed, with some corresponding representative examples presented. Furthermore, the current strategies for further optimizing the performance of chemodynamic therapy guided by Fenton chemistry are highlighted. Most importantly, future perspectives on the combination of biomedicine with Fenton chemistry or a wider range of catalytic chemistry approaches are presented. We hope that this review will attract positive attention in the chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine fields and further tighten their connections.
