Abstract
Organic self-assembled co-crystals have garnered considerable attention due to their facile synthesis and intriguing properties, but supramolecular interactions restrict their stability in aqueous solution, which is especially important for biological applications. Herein, we report on the first biological application of aqueous dispersible self-assembled organic co-crystals via the construction of metal-organic framework (MOF) -stabilized co-crystals. In particular, we built an electron-deficient MOF with naphthalene diimide (NDI) as the ligand and biocompatible Ca2+ as the metal nodes. An electron donor molecule, pyrene, was encapsulated to form the host-guest MOF self-assembled co-crystal. We observed that such MOF structure leads to uniquely high-density ordered arrangement and the close intermolecular distance (3.47 Å) of the charge transfer pairs. Hence, the concomitant superior charge transfer interaction between pyrene/NDI can be attained and the resultant photothermal conversion efficiency of Py@Ca-NDI in aqueous solution can thus reach up to 41.8 %, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest value among the reported organic co-crystal materials; it is also much higher than that of the FDA approved photothermal agent ICG as well as most of the reported MOFs. Based on this realization, as a proof of concept, we demonstrated that such a self-assembled organic co-crystal platform can be used in biological applications that are exemplified via highly effective long wavelength light photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional antimicrobial peptides that combine the intrinsic microbicidal property of cationic polypeptide chains and additional antibacterial strategy hold promising applications for the treatment of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially "superbugs". In the present study, star-shaped copolymers ZnPc-g-PLO with a zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) core and four poly(l-ornithine) (PLO) arms were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as dual-functional antimicrobial agents, that is, intrinsic membrane damage and photothermal ablation capacity. In an aqueous solution, amphiphilic ZnPc-g-PLO molecules self-assemble into nanosized polymeric micelles with an aggregated ZnPc core and star-shaped PLO periphery, where the ZnPc core exhibits appreciable aggregation-induced photothermal conversion efficiency. In the absence of laser irradiation, ZnPc-g-PLO micelles display potent and broad-spectrum antibacterial activities via physical bacterial membrane disruption as a result of the high cationic charge density of the star-shaped PLO. Upon laser irradiation, significant improvement in bactericidal potency was realized due to the efficacious photothermal sterilization from the ZnPc core. Notably, ZnPc-g-PLO micelles did not induce drug-resistance upon subinhibitory passages. In summary, dual-functional ZnPc-g-PLO copolymers can serve as promising antibacterial agents for the treatment of infectious diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
The success of phototheranostics is hampered by some intrinsic defects, such as limited light penetration depth, heat resistance of tumor cells to photothermal therapy (PTT) induced by heat shock protein (HSP) and stress resistance against photodynamic therapy (PDT) caused by hypoxia microenvironment of tumor. Herein, a second near infrared (NIR-II) light excitation phototheranostic nanomedicine has been fabricated by integrating the semiconducting polymer, azo compound, and HSP inhibitor into a thermosensitive liposome, followed by modification with targeting aptamer, forming Lip(PTQ/GA/AIPH) for multimodal phototheranostics of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The phototheranostic nanomedicine provides tumor targeting NIR-II fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-modal imaging, as well as NIR-II PTT. The released HSP inhibitor can effectively inhibit the activity of HSP for enhanced NIR-II PTT. Moreover, azo compound can be decomposed by the NIR-II photothermal activation, generating cytotoxic free radicals and realizing oxygen-irrelevant photonic thermodynamic therapy (PTDT) effects. Under the NIR-II laser irradiation, NIR-II fluorescence/photoacoustic dual-modal imaging guided enhanced NIR-II PTT and PTDT by Lip(PTQ/GA/AIPH), can achieve precise diagnosis and effective suppression of deep-seated TNBC with negligible side effects. This work develops a promising NIR-II excitation phototheranostic nanomedicine for spatiotemporally specific diagnosis and combination therapy of TNBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been extensively investigated as a tumor-localizing therapeutic modality for neoplastic disorders. However, the hyperthermia effect of PTT is greatly restricted by the thermoresistance of tumor cells. Particularly, the compensatory expression of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) has been found to significantly accelerate the thermal tolerance of tumor cells. Thus, a combination of HSP90 inhibitor and photothermal photosensitizer is expected to significantly enhance antitumor efficacy of PTT through hyperthermia sensitization. However, it remains challenging to precisely co-deliver two or more drugs into tumors. METHODS A carrier-free co-delivery nanoassembly of gambogic acid (GA, a HSP90 inhibitor) and DiR is ingeniously fabricated based on a facile and precise molecular co-assembly technique. The assembly mechanisms, photothermal conversion efficiency, laser-triggered drug release, cellular uptake, synergistic cytotoxicity of the nanoassembly are investigated in vitro. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and self-enhanced PTT efficacy were explored in vivo. RESULTS The nanoassembly presents multiple advantages throughout the whole drug delivery process, including carrier-free fabrication with good reproducibility, high drug co-loading efficiency with convenient dose adjustment, synchronous co-delivery of DiR and GA with long systemic circulation, as well as self-tracing tumor accumulation with efficient photothermal conversion. As expected, HSP90 inhibition-augmented PTT is observed in a 4T1 tumor BALB/c mice xenograft model. CONCLUSION Our study provides a novel and facile dual-drug co-assembly strategy for self-sensitized cancer therapy.

Abstract
Exploration of effective ways to integrate various functional species into hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) is critically important for their applications but highly challenging. In this study, according to the "bottle-around-ship" strategy, core-shell heterostructure of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and HOFs was fabricated for the first time via a ligand-grafting stepwise method. The UCNPs "core" can effectively upconvert near-infrared (NIR) irradiation (980 nm) into visible light (540 nm and 653 nm), which further excites the perylenediimide-based HOF "shell" through resonance energy transfer. In this way, the nanocomposite inherits the high porosity, excellent photothermal and photodynamic efficiency, NIR photoresponse from two parent materials, achieving intriguing NIR-responsive bacterial inhibition toward Escherichia coli. This study may shed light on the design of functional HOF-based composite materials, not only enriching the HOF library but also broadening the horizon of their potential applications.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn considerable attention due to the deeper tissue penetration and higher maximum permissible exposure. However, current phototheranostic agents are greatly restricted by weak absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window, long-term toxicity, and poor photostability. In this report, novel organic NIR-II conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) based on narrow bandgap donor-acceptor BDT-TBZ polymers were developed for effective cancer PAI and PTT. Characterization data confirmed the high photothermal conversion efficiency, good photostability, excellent PAI performance, and superior biocompatibility of as-obtained CPNs. In addition, in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated the efficient PTT effect of CPNs in ablating cancer cells and inhibiting tumor growth under 1064 nm laser irradiation. More importantly, the CPNs exhibited rapid clearance capability through the biliary pathway and negligible systematic toxicity. Thus, this work provides a novel organic theranostic nanoplatform for NIR-II PAI-guided PTT, which advances the future clinical translation of biocompatible and metabolizable conjugated nanomaterials in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Developing simple and efficient nanotheranostic platforms with behavior responsive to the acid microenvironment of a tumor is of great significance for accurate tumor diagnosis and therapy. In this study, a smart 2D nanotheranostic platform has been successfully fabricated by doping functional ferrous ions into as-synthesized MgAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) with doxurubicin (DOX) loading to form Fe-LDH/DOX NPs, which achieved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic chemo/photothermal therapy for breast cancer. The doping of ferrous ions into Fe-LDH/DOX enabled a strong photo-induced heating ability with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 45.67%, which could be combined with the antitumor drug DOX to achieve the synergistic effect of photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy for killing tumor cells. Additionally, its in vitro pH-dependent degradation behavior and T2-weighted MRI effect revealed that the as-prepared Fe-LDH/DOX is sensitive to the tumor acid microenvironment. Most importantly, the growth rate of tumors in 4T1 bearing mice could be effectively inhibited after the synergistic treatment of PTT and chemotherapy by Fe-LDH/DOX. These results show that doping functional metal ions into LDH NPs may open a novel approach to fabricating an LDH NP-based nanotheranostics platform with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic performances.

Abstract
In this chapter, we designed and synthesized a series of thiadiazoloquinoxaline (TQ)-based semiconducting polymers (SPs) with a broad absorption covering from NIR-I to NIR-II regions. Theoretical calculation suggests that the BTD-TQE with ester-substituted TQ-acceptor shows a large dihedral angle and narrow adiabatic energy as well as low radiative decay, resulting in higher reorganization energy for efficient photoinduced nonradiative decay (PNRD). As a result, the obtained BDT-TQE SP-cored nanoparticles, a NIR-II PA probe, exhibit a highest NIR-II photothermal conversion efficiency (61.6%) and achieved PA tracking of in situ hepatic tumor growth for 20 days. Herein, we propose a strategy to construct an effective NIR-II photoacoustic reagent through the enhanced PNRD effect of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT), thereby extending the application of NIR-II PA reagents in in vivo bioimaging.

Abstract
Introduction It will be challenging to develop high-performance organic chromophores for light-triggered thermal ablation of the tumor. Besides, the mechanisms of organic chromophores for tumor therapy remain unclear. Herein, an acceptor-π-donor (A-π-D) structured organic chromophore based on 2-dicyanomethylenethiazole named PTM was developed for photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors. Methods and Results Biocompatible PTM nanoparticles (PTM NPs) were fabricated by enclosing PTM with Pluronic F-127. The results of optical and photothermal properties of PTM NPs showed robust near-infrared (NIR) absorption, excellent photostability and high photothermal conversion efficiency (56.9%). The results of flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, apoptosis, CCK-8 assays and animal experiments showed that PTM NPs had a good killing effect on tumors under NIR laser irradiation. Furthermore, mechanistic studies, RNA-seq and biological analysis revealed that PTM NPs can cause tumor cell death via DNA damage-mediated apoptosis. Conclusion Light-induced thermal ablation effects of PTM NPs in vitro and vivo were surveyed. Collectively, our studies provided a new approach to developing a safe and effective photothermal agent for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The shallow penetration depth of photothermal agents in the first near-infrared (NIR-I) window significantly limits their therapeutic efficiency. Multifunctional nanotheranostic agents in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window have drawn extensive attention for their combined treatment of tumors. Here, for the first time, we created oxygen-deficient black SnO2-x with strong NIR (700-1200 nm) light absorption with NaBH4 reduction from white SnO2. Hyaluronic acid (HA) could selectively target cancer cells overexpressed CD44 protein. After modification with HA, the obtained nanotheranostic SnO2-x@SiO2-HA showed high dispersity in aqueous solution and good biocompatibility. SnO2-x@SiO2-HA was confirmed to simultaneously generate enough hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species with single NIR-II (1064 nm) light irradiation. Because HA is highly affined to CD44 protein, SnO2-x@SiO2-HA has specific uptake by overexpressed CD44 cells and can be accurately transferred to the tumor site. Furthermore, tumor growth was significantly inhibited following synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) with targeted specificity under the guidance of photoacoustic (PA) imaging using 1064 nm laser irradiation in vivo. Moreover, SnO2-x@SiO2-HA accelerated wound healing. This work prominently extends the therapeutic utilization of semiconductor nanomaterials by changing their nanostructures and demonstrates for the first time that SnO2-x based therapeutic agents can accelerate wound healing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The phototherapeutic efficacy of nanotheranostics by NIR-I lightirradiation was restricted owing to the limitation of tissue penetration and maximum permissible exposure. To overcome these limitations, we hereby fabricated a NIR-IIlight-mediated multifunctional nanotheranostic based on SnO2-x. The introduction of oxygen vacancy strategy was employed to construct full spectrum responsive oxygen-deficient SnO2-x, endowing outstanding photothermal conversion, and remarkable production activity of reactive oxygen species under NIR-II light activation. Tumor growth was significantly inhibited following synergistic PDT/PTT with targeted specificity under the guidance of photoacoustic imaging using 1064 nm laser irradiation in vivo. Our strategy not only expands the biomedical application of SnO2, but also providea method to develop other inorganic metal oxide-based nanosystems for NIR-II light-activated phototheranostic of cancers.

Artesunate-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/polydopamine-manganese oxides nanoparticles as an oxidase mimic for tumor chemo-catalytic therapy. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 181:72-81. [PMID: 33771546 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.03.124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2020] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Conventional tumor chemotherapy is limited by its low therapeutic efficacy and side effects, which severely hold back its further application as a first-line agent in clinic. To improve the cure efficacy of cancer, nanozyme with enzyme-like activity has now been extensively investigated as a new strategy for tumor treatment. Herein, an anti-tumor platform based on manganese oxides (MnOx) modified poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)@polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (PP-MnOx NPs) as an oxidase mimic was developed. PP-MnOx NPs could not only produce abundant reactive oxygen species to inhibit tumor growth taking advantage of their oxidase-like activity, but also encapsulate and release antitumor drug (artesunate) to function as chemotherapy, achieving remarkable synergistic chemo-catalytic therapeutic effects. As an oxidase mimics, PP-MnOx NPs induced the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, down-regulation of Bcl-2, as well as activation of Bax and Caspase-3, demonstrating that the apoptosis triggered by PP-MnOx NPs was mediated via mitochondrial pathways. Importantly, the artesunate in PP-MnOx NPs further promoted this apoptosis. In addition, Mn ions released from PP-MnOx NPs facilitated the tumor-microenvironment-specific T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Taken together, this study well clarifies the antitumor mechanism of artesunate-loaded PP-MnOx NPs and offer a synergistic chemo-catalytic strategy for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is hampered by limited light penetration depth and cell thermoresistance induced by over-expressed heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, we proposed a tumor-specific enhanced NIR-II PTT through the starvation mediated thermal sensitization strategy. A semiconducting polymer with superior NIR-II fluorescence imaging (FI) performance and NIR-II PTT efficacy was synthesized and encapsulated into folate modified liposomes, together with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG). Upon specifically targeting folate receptors and guidance of NIR-II FI, spatiotemporal 2DG release could be achieved by the trigger of NIR-II photothermal effect. The released 2DG could not only deplete the energy supply of tumor cells by inhibiting tumor anaerobic glycolysis, but also decrease the ATP levels and hamper the production of HSPs, ultimately enhancing the tumor thermal sensitivity toward PTT. Owing to the sensitization effect of 2DG, tumor cells with overexpressed folate receptors could be significantly damaged by NIR-II PTT with an enhanced therapeutic efficiency. The work provided a promising strategy for specific starvation/NIR-II PTT synergistic therapy towards tumors.

Abstract
Thionated perylenediimides (PDIs) can potentially generate thermal and reactive oxygen species and thus can be used as theranostic agents for photothermal/photodynamic therapy. Herein, thionated cis-/trans-isomer PDI-CS and PDI-TS were designed and prepared to investigate thionation engineering on therapeutic performance. The results revealed that the photodynamic performance is less associated with the positon of sulfur atoms. By contrast, trans-isomer PDI-TS showed a photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 58.4%, which was 40% higher than that of PDI-CS (∼41.6%). An in vitro half-maximal inhibitory concentration of ∼7.78 μg mL-1 was achieved for PDI-TS, which was 1.7-fold smaller than that of PDI-CS, strongly reasserting the regioisomer-modulated phototheranostic performance. Notably, the strong π-π and CS interactions in PDI-TS nanoagents are essential factors attributed to their excellent photothermal performance, indicating that the optimization of non-bonding interactions is an ingenious way to improve phototheranostic performance. This work provides a facile means of creating thio-perylenediimides that possess excellent antitumor properties and a novel proof of concept to improve therapeutic performance through the optimization of non-bonding interactions.

Abstract
Phototherapy has gained great attention in the past decade owing to the advantages of high selectivity and low toxicity. However, it's still a challenge to develop a single photosensitizer that can achieve both photothermal and photodynamic effects. Herein, we design and synthesize a new organic compound (PIT) with a typical D-A-D structure through the covalent conjugation of perylene diimides (PDI) and triphenylamine (TPA). The amphiphilic PIT could be transformed to the nanoparticles (PIT NPs) through nanoprecipitation method. PIT NPs exhibit good water dispersibility with particle size around 70 nm. Because of the efficient NIR absorption, PIT NPs display high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) (η = 46.1 %) and strong photoacoustic signal under irradiation of 635 nm laser. Moreover, under the same laser irradiation, significant reactive oxygen species can be induced by PIT NPs both in aqueous solution and cancer cells. The MTT assay demonstrate the good biocompatibility and outstanding photocytotoxicity of PIT NPs. Thus, the as-prepared PIT NPs could be used as excellent candidates for photoacoustic imaging and photodynamic/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage in skin tissue, which can further result in skin cancers. Using sunscreens is one of the most popular and the most effective method to resist UV irradiation. Resveratrol (RES) shows high absorbance in UV region and significant anti-oxidant effects. However, RES is easily degraded by UV irradiation, resulting in the decrease of bioactivity and the limitation of its application in the pharmaceutical preparations of skin. In this paper, a nanostructured lipid carrier gel loaded with RES (RES-NLC-gel) was prepared to improve the stability of RES and the accumulation of RES in the epidermis. Moreover, RES-NLC-gel could scavenge free radical effectively and protect human keratinocyte from UV irradiation by inhibiting the generation of ROS, decreasing the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax and increasing the protein expression of Bcl-2. When mice skin was pretreated with RES-NLC-gel, there were less erythema, wrinkles and scabs on mice skin. The epidermal thickness of mice skins obviously reduced in dose-dependent manner. The activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mice skin tissue significantly increased. Thus, RES-NLC-gel exhibited an obvious anti-UV irradiation and anti-oxidant activity in vivo. RES-NLC-gel displayed great application potential in protecting skin from UV irradiation.

Abstract
Organic small molecule-based phototheranostics hold great promise for clinical translation by virtue of their distinct chemical structure, easy reproducibility, and high purity. However, reported molecular agents typically have relatively low optical absorbances, particularly over the near-infrared (NIR) region, and this limits their phototheranostic performance. Herein, we first exploit a diradicaloid molecular structure for enhancing NIR absorption to facilitate efficient photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). The donor-acceptor interaction in the diradicaloid molecule (DRM) leads to strong charge transfer resulting on obvious diradical characteristics, which is beneficial for NIR absorption. The DRM possesses excellent light-harvesting ability, with a mass extinction coefficient of ∼220 L g-1 cm-1, which is much higher than those (∼5-100 L g-1 cm-1) of typical organic molecules. After assembling into nanoparticles, they show good water dispersibility, good photostability, and impressive performance for PAI-guided PTT in vitro and in vivo. The impressive in vitro and in vivo performances show that developing small molecules with diradicaloid structures can be an effective approach for enhancing NIR harvesting capability for biomedical applications.

880 nm NIR-Triggered Organic Small Molecular-Based Nanoparticles for Photothermal Therapy of Tumor. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11030773. [PMID: 33803677 PMCID: PMC8003086 DOI: 10.3390/nano11030773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has received constant attention as an efficient cancer therapy method due to locally selective treatment, which is not affected by the tumor microenvironment. In this study, a novel 880 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser-triggered photothermal agent (PTA), 3TT-IC-4Cl, was used for PTT of a tumor in deep tissue. Folic acid (FA) conjugated amphiphilic block copolymer (folic acid-polyethylene glycol-poly (β-benzyl-L-aspartate)10, FA-PEG-PBLA10) was employed to encapsulate 3TT-IC-4Cl by nano-precipitation to form stable nanoparticles (TNPs), and TNPs exhibit excellent photothermal stability and photothermal conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the in vitro results showed TNPs display excellent biocompatibility and significant phototoxicity. These results suggest that 880 nm triggered TNPs have great potential as effective PTAs for photothermal therapy of tumors in deep tissue.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted extensive research attention as a noninvasive and selective treatment strategy for numerous cancers. PTT functions via photothermal effects induced by converting light energy into heat on near-infrared laser irradiation. Despite the great advances in PTT for cancer treatment, the photothermal therapeutics using laser devise only or non-specific small molecule PTT agents has been limited because of its low photothermal conversion efficiency, concerns about the biosafety of the photothermal agents, their low tumor accumulation, and a heat resistance of specific types of cancer. Using nanomaterials as PTT agents themselves, or for delivery of PTT agents, offers improved therapeutic outcomes with fewer side effects through enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, accumulation of the PTT agent in the tumor tissue, and, by extension, through combination with other therapies. Herein, we review PTT’s current clinical progress and present the future outlooks for clinical applications. To better understand clinical PTT applications, we describe nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effects and their mechanism of action in the tumor microenvironment. This review also summarizes recent studies of PTT alone or in combination with other therapies. Overall, innovative and strategically designed PTT platforms are promising next-generation noninvasive cancer treatments to move closer toward clinical applications.

Abstract
Organic theranostic nanomedicine has precision multimodel imaging capability and concurrent therapeutics under noninvasive imaging guidance. However, the rational design of desirable multifunctional organic theranostics for cancer remains challenging. Rational engineering of organic semiconducting nanomaterials has revealed great potential for cancer theranostics largely owing to their intrinsic diversified biophotonics, easy fabrication of multimodel imaging platform, and desirable biocompatibility. Herein, a novel all-organic nanotheranostic platform (TPATQ-PNP NPs) is developed by exploiting the self-assembly of a semiconducting small molecule (TPATQ) and a new synthetic high-density nitroxide radical-based amphiphilic polymer (PNP). The nitroxide radicals act as metal-free magnetic resonance imaging agent through shortened longitudinal relaxation times, and the semiconducting molecules enable ultralow background second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence imaging. The as-prepared TPATQ-PNP NPs can light up whole blood vessels of mice and show precision tumor-locating ability with synergistic (MR/NIR-II) imaging modalities. The semiconducting molecules also undergo highly effective photothermal conversion in the NIR region for cancer photothermal therapy guided by complementary tumor diagnosis. The designed multifunctional organic semiconducting self-assembly provides new insights into the development of a new platform for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
With tremendous research advances in biomedical application, liquid metals (LM) also offer fantastic chemistry for synthesis of novel nano-composites. Herein, as a pioneering trial, litchi-shaped heterogeneous eutectic gallium indium-Au nanoparticles (EGaIn-Au NPs), served as effective radiosensitizer and photothermal agent for radio-photothermal cancer therapy, have been successfully prepared using in situ interfacial galvanic replacement reaction. The enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency and boosted radio-sensitization effect could be achieved with the reduction of Au nanodots onto the eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) NPs surface. Most importantly, the growth of tumor could be effectively inhibited under the combined radio-photothermal therapy mediated by EGaIn-Au NPs. Inspired by this approach, in situ interfacial galvanic replacement reaction may open a novel strategy to fabricate LM-based nano-composite with advanced multi-functionalities.

Abstract
In recent years, people have been actively exploring new imaging methods with high biological imaging performance because the clinical image definition and depth in vivo cannot meet the requirements of early diagnosis and prognosis. Based on the traditional near-infrared region I (NIR-I), the molecular probe of the near-infrared region II (NIR-II) is further explored and developed. In the NIR-II region due to the wavelength is longer than the NIR-I region can effectively reduce the molecular scattering, optical absorption of the organization, the organization of spontaneous fluorescence negligible, thus the NIR-II Fluorescence imaging (FI) can get deeper penetration depth, higher signal-to-background ratio (SBR) and better spatiotemporal resolution, FI in NIR-II region are an important and rapidly developing research region for future imaging. In the NIR-II fluorophore, small organic molecule fluorophore has attracted much attention because of its good biocompatibility and good pharmacokinetic properties. In this review, we briefly introduced the existing NIR-II organic small molecule fluorophores, and introduced the existing relatively mature methods for improving quantum yield and water solubility, and the small molecule dyes on FI of various improvement methods, also briefly introduces the small molecules of photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and a brief introduction of imaging-guided surgery (IGS) for some small organic molecules, finally, a reasonable prospect is made for the development of small organic molecules.

Abstract
To be clinically efficacious, nanotherapeutic drugs need to reach disease tissues reliably and cause limited side effects to normal organs and tissues. Here, we report a proof-of-concept study on the development of a smart peptidic nanophototherapeutic agent in line with clinical requirements, which can transform its morphology from nanoparticles to nanofibrils at the tumor sites. This in vivo receptor-mediated transformation process resulted in the formation and prolonged tumor-retention of highly ordered (J-aggregate type of photosensitizer) photosensitive peptide nanofibrillar network with greatly enhanced photothermal and photodynamic properties. This strategy of "multiple daily low-intensity laser radiation after each intravenous injection of significantly low-dose of nanomaterials" demonstrated effective elimination of 4T1 orthotopic syngeneic breast cancer in mice. The technology for nanomaterial modulation based on living cell surface receptors, in this case tumor-associated α3β1 integrin, has great potential for clinical translation and is expected to improve the therapeutic efficacy against many cancers.

Abstract
Au nanoclusters, decorated with graphene quantum dots (GQDs), were obtained through photocatalytic reduction of AuCl43- by UV irradiation, and then cytarabine (Cyt) was loaded to the Au/GQDs via charge-dipole interactions. Mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was anchored to the Cyt-loaded Au/GQDs through the formation of Au-S bond, which was further encapsulated by polyethyleneimine (PEI) via charge-dipole interactions. The delivery of Cyt from the quaternary complex (Au/GQDs/MPA/PEI) is pH-sensitive and can be modulated by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The results of cell viability test indicate that the developed nanoplatform can be used for chemo-photothermal combination therapy of cancer cells, and the efficacy of chemo-photothermal combination therapy is significantly higher than that of the single mode of photothermal therapy (PTT) or chemotherapy.

Abstract
The simultaneous near-infrared (NIR)-absorbed photodynamic therapy (PDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT) has proved to be a promising approach to increase the antitumor efficiency due to their synergistic effect. Herein, a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based photosensitizer was designed and synthesized for the enhanced synergistic NIR-absorbed PDT/PTT therapy upon NIR light irradiation. In this strategy, a three-dimensional rigid polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) block was introduced into the Br-BODIPY molecule to alleviate the aggregation of the photosensitizer. The POSS hybrid BODIPY (Br-BODIPY-POSS) was further functionalized with a biocompatible amphiphilic PEG via a facile thiol-ene "click" reaction, affording Br-BODIPY-POSS-PEG2000 (BBPP). BBPP can self-assemble into nanoparticles, which maintain a competitive photothermal conversion efficiency (ηBBPP = 30.2%) with its counterpart Br-BODIPY-PEG (BBP, ηBBP = 34.5%). Significantly, BBPP exhibited a relatively higher oxygen quantum yield (ΦBBPP = 0.405) than BBP (ΦBBP = 0.175). The in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that BBPP possessed negligible dark cytotoxicity and a better phototherapeutic outcome than BBP. The proof-of-concept of the POSS hybrid photosensitizer offers guidance for the construction of single-component and PDT/PTT-balanced NIR nanoagents to promote the cancer therapeutic efficacy in the future.

Abstract
Terrylenediimide with electron-withdrawing groups (TDI4SF) was synthesized by the attachment of sulfone substituents on the bay region of terrylenediimide. The electron-withdrawing sulfone groups enhance the electron affinity, reduce the LUMO level to -4.37 eV, and endow TDI with excellent anti-oxidation ability. With sulfone substituents, TDI4SF has a red-shifted emission maximum with a peak at 702 nm and high photoluminescence quantum yield.

Abstract
Development of organic theranostic agents that are active in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) biowindow is of vital significance for treating deep-seated tumors. However, studies on organic NIR-II absorbing agents for photo-to-heat energy-converting theranostics are still rare simply because of tedious synthetic routes to construct extended π systems in the NIR-II region. Herein, we design a convenient strategy to engineer highly stable organic NIR-II absorbing theranostic nanoparticles (Nano-BFF) for effective phototheranostic applications via co-assembling first NIR (NIR-I, 650-1000 nm) absorbing boron difluoride formazanate (BFF) dye with a biocompatible polymer, endowing the Nano-BFF with remarkable theranostic performance in the NIR-II region. In vitro and in vivo investigations validate that Nano-BFF can serve as an efficient theranostic agent to achieve photoacoustic imaging guided deep-tissue photonic hyperthermia in the NIR-II biowindow, achieving dramatic inhibition toward orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma. This work thus provides an insight into the exploration of versatile organic NIR-II absorbing nanoparticles toward future practical applications.

Abstract
The development of highly effective and minimally invasive approaches for cancer treatment is the ultimate goal. Herein, an injectable hybrid hydrogel as a biomimetic cascade bioreactor is designed for combination antitumor therapy by providing spatiotemporally-controlled and long-term delivery of therapeutic agents. This hybrid nanozyme@hydrogel (hPB@gellan) is doped with Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles via the in situ nanoprecipitation method in the polysaccharide gellan matrix. The obtained PB nanoparticles have a small size of 10 nm and play dual roles as a photothermal agent with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 59.6% and as a nanozyme to decompose hydrogen peroxide into oxygen. By incorporating glucose oxidase (GOD) into the hybrid hydrogel, a cascade bioreactor is formed for PB-promoted glucose consumption. Owing to its shear-thinning and self-recovery properties, the hybrid hydrogel is locally administered into tumors, and shows long-term resistance against body clearance and metabolism. The in vivo antitumor results demonstrate that the tumors in the group of combined photothermal and starvation therapy (GOD/hPB@gellan + NIR) are greatly eliminated with a tumor suppression rate of 99.7% 22 days after the treatment. The outstanding antitumor performance is attributed to the main attack by NIR-triggered hyperthermia and the holding attack by GOD-mediated starvation from the catalytic bioreactor of the hybrid hydrogel. Taking into consideration the advantages of biosafety, simple synthetic approaches and facile manipulation in treatment, the hybrid hydrogel has great potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Drug toxicity and insufficient drug dosing place a limit on the effect of chemotherapy. Optimal efficacy is achieved by exposing tumor cells to the maximum tolerated dose of a chemotherapeutic drug. In this study, we developed a strategy (graphic summary) for enhancing the therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities of known chemotherapeutics. We used a dual-mode near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging technology to achieve actively guided tumor targeting of the photothermal therapeutic agent indocyanine green (ICG) and the chemotherapeutic drug 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME), which were loaded into thermosensitive liposomes (TSLs) with surface-grafted tumor-targeting peptide cRGDyk (cRGDyk-2-ME@ICG-TSLs). In vitro studies demonstrated that cRGDyk-2-ME@ICG-TSLs effectively induced drug accumulation and cytotoxicity in NIR laser-irradiated B16-F10 melanoma cells using dual targeting based on the cRGDyk peptide and temperature sensitivity. An in vivo study showed that 24 h after intravenously injecting cRGDyk-2-ME@ICG-TSLs into melanoma tumor-bearing mice, the dual-mode NIR fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging could accurately identify tumors and normal tissues. In addition, the combination of cRGDyk-2-ME@ICG-TSLs and NIR radiation suppressed tumor growth in tumor-bearing nude mice and was associated with a low risk of side effects on normal organs. Our results indicate that TSLs are a suitable drug delivery system for diagnostic and chemotherapeutic agents guided by dual-mode imaging.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared (NIR) hyperthermia agents are promising in cancer photothermal therapy due to their deeper penetration ability and less side effects. Spherical gold nanoshell and graphene-based nanomaterials are two major NIR hyperthermia agents that have been reported for photothermal therapy of cancer. Herein, we constructed a two-dimensional graphene oxide-template gold nanosheet (GO@SiO2@AuNS) hybrid that could destruct cancer cells with efficient photothermal effect. METHODS Graphene oxide was coated with a layer of mesoporous silica, which provided binding sites for gold seeds. Then, seed-growth method was utilized to grow a layer of gold nanosheet to form the GO@SiO2@AuNS hybrid, which possessed great biocompatibility and high photothermal conversion efficiency. RESULTS With the irradiation of NIR laser (808 nm) with low power density (0.3 W/cm2), GO@SiO2@AuNS hybrid showed a photothermal conversion efficiency of 30%, leading to a temperature increase of 16.4 °C in water. Colorectal cancer cells (KM12C) were killed with the treatment of GO@SiO2@AuNS hybrid under NIR irradiation. CONCLUSION The GO@SiO2@AuNS hybrid may expand the library of the 2D nanostructures based on gold for cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), a powerful tool for non-invasive cancer treatment, has been recognized as an alternative strategy for cancer therapy in the clinic, and it is promoted by optical absorbing agents (photothermal agents) that can intensively convert near-infrared (NIR) light into thermal energy for cancer ablation. Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) have recently attracted extensive attention owing to their excellent photothermal properties. However, the absorption of typical CPNs is mostly located in the traditional near-infrared region (NIR-I, 700-900 nm), which suffers from low tissue penetration, so the penetration depth is still limited and severely restricts their further applications. Compared with the NIR-I light, the second near-infrared window light (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) could efficiently enhance the tissue penetration depth, however, CPNs which absorb NIR-II region light are still especially limited and need further exploration. Here, a thieno-isoindigo derivative-based Donor-Acceptor (D-A) polymer (BTPBFDTS), which exhibited excellent absorption characteristics from the NIR-I to NIR-II window, was prepared. After formation of nanoparticles and surface functionalization, the prepared nanoparticles (NPsBTPBFDTS@HA NPs) exhibited obvious targeting ability, high photothermal conversion efficiency and photoacoustic imaging effects under 1064 nm irradiation. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that our obtained NPsBTPBFDTS@HA nanoparticles possess excellent PTT efficacy including extremely high cancer cell killing ability and admirable tumor elimination efficiency. Hence, this work developed a promising photothermal conversion agent based on CPNs for cancer ablation.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing nanoagents for personalized multifunctional phototheranostics has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. Recently, the organic nanomaterials with good biosafety are considered as promising phototheranostic agents, while their facile synthesis remains challenging. Inspired by the preparation of carbon nanodots, we fabricate the NIR-absorbing phthalocyanine-based nanodots (ZnPc-NDs) using a facile method for multifunctional phototheranostics. The significant aggregation of phthalocyanines in nanodots induces a complete fluorescence quenching, which affords a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 45.7%). The ZnPc-NDs disperse very well in water media with an average diameter around 80 nm. Further conjugation of biotin on the surface of ZnPc-NDs affords tumor-targeting phthalocyanine nanodots (ZnPc-BT). The ZnPc-BT are demonstrated with favorable biocompatibility, intense photoacoustic signals, high tumor accumulation, and effective tumor suppression in vivo. This Article provides a new insight for further developing nanomedicines with imaging and therapeutic functions to treat cancers precisely and effectively.

Abstract
Multi-modality imaging-guided cancer therapy is considered as a powerful theranostic platform enabling simultaneous precise diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, recently reported multifunctional systems with multiple components and sophisticate structures remain major obstacles for further clinical translation. In this work, a single-photomolecular theranostic nanoplatform is fabricated via a facile nanoprecipitation strategy. By encapsulating a semiconductor oligomer (IT-S) into an amphiphilic lipid, water-dispersible IT-S nanoparticles (IT-S NPs) are prepared. The obtained IT-S NPs have a very simple construction and possess ultra-stable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-modal imaging and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 72.3%. Accurate spatiotemporal distribution profiles of IT-S NPs are successfully visualized by NIR FL/PA dual-modal imaging. With the comprehensive in vivo imaging information provided by IT-S NPs, tumor photothermal ablation is readily realized under precise manipulation of laser irradiation, which greatly improves the therapeutic efficacy without any obvious side effects. Therefore, the IT-S NPs allow high tumor therapeutic efficacy under the precise guidance of FL/PA imaging techniques and thus hold great potential as an effective theranostic platform for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Precise diagnosis and effective treatment of gliomas still remain a huge challenge. Photoacoustic-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) has unique advantages over conventional techniques for brain tumor theranostics, but existing nanoagents for photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided PTT are mainly organic small molecules or inorganic nanoparticles, which have the limitations of poor photostability and biocompatibility. Besides, the restricted absorption in the first near-infrared window (NIR-I) of the most existing nanoagents compromises their effectiveness for deep tissue PAI and PTT. We herein develop novel semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) that are strongly absorptive in the second NIR window (NIR-II) to alleviate these problems. With the merits of excellent photoacoustic and photothermal performance, high photostability, proper size, and low toxicity, SPNs not only show efficient cellular uptake for PAI and PTT toward U87 glioma cells but also demonstrate effective accumulation in both subcutaneous tumors and brain tumors upon intravenous injection, thereby realizing efficient PAI-guided PTT toward gliomas under NIR-II light irradiation.

Abstract
Noninvasive bioimaging techniques are critical for assessing the biodistribution of cellular therapies longitudinally. Among them, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) can generate high-resolution images with a tissue penetration depth of ∼4 cm. However, it is essential and still highly challenging to develop stable and efficient near-infrared (NIR) probes with low toxicity for PAI. We report here the preparation and use of perylene diimide derivative (PDI) with NIR absorbance (around 700 nm) as nanoprobes for tracking mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in mice. Employing an in-house synthesized star hyperbranched polymer as a stabilizer is the key to the formation of stable PDI nanoparticles with low toxicity and high uptake by the MSCs. The PDI nanoparticles remain within the MSCs as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo assessments. The PDI-labeled MSCs injected subcutaneously on the flanks of the mice are clearly visualized with PAI up to 11 days postadministration. Furthermore, bioluminescence imaging of PDI-labeled luciferase-expressing MSCs confirms that the administered cells remain viable for the duration of the experiment. These PDI nanoprobes thus have good potential for tracking administered cells in vivo using PAI.

Abstract
Photothermal agents can transfer the absorbed light to heat energy, offering a noninvasive and controllable method to kill tumor cells and tissues. Here, we develop a simple and high-output strategy to prepare photothermal nanodots (MnPc-NDs) by the self-assembly and carbonization of manganese phthalocyanine. The aggregation of phthalocyanine molecules in the nanodots induces an efficient photothermal conversion. Thanks to the high thermal stability of phthalocyanine, the macrocycle is well preserved in the core of nanodots under the controlled hydrothermal temperature. Moreover, the as-prepared MnPc-NDs disperse well in aqueous solution with an average nanoscale size around 60 nm. The intense absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region, along with efficient reactive oxygen generation, high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 59.8%), and excellent magnetic resonance contrast performances of MnPc-NDs endow them with great potential for MRI-guided cancer phototherapy. Therefore, the contribution provides a facile way to develop theranostic MnPc-NDs for precise and efficient cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal conversion nanoagents based on conjugated polymers (CPs) are attracting increasing attention for in vivo disease theranostics and high-performing ones are in urgent pursuit. Herein, we report a new and non-donor-acceptor approach to photothermal conversion CPs that combine several merits including low bandgaps, strong near-infrared absorption, low intersystem crossing rate and non-emissive nature. Three CPs based on 6,7; 6',7'-fused isoindigos (nIIDs), i.e., P2IIDV, P3IIDV and P4IIDV that have optical bandgaps of 1.30, 1.22 and 1.17 eV, respectively, are synthesized. The nanoparticles (NPs) of the CPs in water are prepared via nanocoprecipitation, which are non-fluorescent due to the rapid intramolecular twisting in the CP backbone within NPs, enabling most of the excitation energy flow to generate heat. The photothermal conversion efficiencies of the NPs as measured under irradiation at 808, 880 and 980 nm are 62.4%, 40.5% and 15.8% for P2IIDV, 65.1%, 41.0% and 38.9% for P3IIDV and 71.5%, 48.9% and 41.7% for P4IIDV, which are significantly higher than indocyanine green and many popularly reported photothermal conversion materials. In vivo studies using xenograft 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model demonstrate that the P4IIDV NPs can serve as a rather effective photothermal conversion nanoagent for enhanced photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Rattle-structured nanoparticles with movable cores, porous shells and hollow interiors have shown great effectiveness in drug delivery and cancer theranostics. Targeting autophagy and glucose have provided alternative strategies for cancer intervention therapy. Herein, rattle-structured polydopamine@mesoporous silica nanoparticles were prepared for in vivo photoacoustic (PA) imaging and augmented low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) via complementary autophagy inhibition and glucose metabolism. Methods: The multifunctional rattle-structured nanoparticles were designed with the nanocore of PDA and the nanoshell of hollow mesoporous silica (PDA@hm) via a four-step process. PDA@hm was then loaded with autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) and conjugated with glucose consumer glucose oxidase (GOx) (PDA@hm@CQ@GOx), forming a corona-like structure nanoparticle. Results: The CQ and GOx were loaded into the cavity and decorated onto the surface of PDA@hm, respectively. The GOx-mediated tumor starvation strategy would directly suppress the expression of HSP70 and HSP90, resulting in an enhanced low-temperature PTT induced by PDA nanocore. In addition, autophagy inhibition by the released CQ made up for the loss of low-temperature PTT and starvation efficiencies by PTT- and starvation-activated autophagy, realizing augmented therapy efficacy. Furthermore, the PDA nanocore in the PDA@hm@CQ@GOx could be also used for PA imaging. Conclusion: Such a “drugs” loaded rattle-structured nanoparticle could be used for augmented low-temperature PTT through complementarily regulating glucose metabolism and inhibiting autophagy and in vivo photoacoustic imaging.
