Abstract
In biology, the activity of enzymes is usually regulated by feedback loops, which enables direct communication between enzymes and the state of the cell. In a similar manner, with the intention to have automated activity regulation, the therapeutic effect of a photosensitizer (BOD1) is shown to be reduced through a negative feedback loop initiated by the photosensitizer. Photodynamic action produces cytotoxic 1O2 and this reactive oxygen species reacts with ascorbate, generating H2O2. Peroxide-mediated oxidation of the photosensitizer auxiliary group leads to the formation of inactive BOD2 from the parent photosensitizer. BOD1 is shown to accumulate in mitochondria, and cell viability is shown to decrease significantly with BOD1 compared to the loop end product, BOD2. Photoinduced enhancement of fluorescence indicates the formation of inactive BOD2 under cellular conditions, and enhanced fluorescence acts as a reporter for the activity of the photosensitizer. We present the first example of PDT autoinactivation, and such a feedback control mechanism would enable a decrease in post-therapy side effects.

Abstract
Dynamic changes in protein structure can be monitored by using a fluorescent probe and a dark quencher. This approach is contingent upon the ability to precisely introduce a fluorophore/quencher pair into two specific sites of a protein of interest. Despite recent advances, there is continued demand for new and convenient approaches to site-selectively label proteins with such optical probes. We have recently developed a chemoselectively rapid azo-coupling reaction (CRACR) for site-specific protein labeling; it relies on rapid coupling between a genetically encoded 5-hydroxytryptophan residue and various aromatic diazonium ions. Herein, it is reported that the product of this conjugation reaction, a highly chromophoric biarylazo group, is a potent fluorescence quencher. The absorption properties of this azo product can be tuned by systematically altering the structure of the aryldiazonium species. A particular "quenchergenic" aryldiazonium has been identified that, upon conjugation, efficiently quenches the fluorescence of green fluorescent protein, which is a widely used genetically encoded fluorescent probe that can be terminally attached to target proteins. This fluorophore/quencher pair was used to evaluate the protein-labeling kinetics of CRACR, as well as to monitor the proteolysis of a fusion protein.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) brings excellent treatment outcome while also causing poor tumor microenvironment and prognosis due to the uncontrolled oxygen consumption. To solve this issue, a novel PDT strategy, oxygenated PDT (maintain the tumor oxygenation before and after PDT) was carried out by a tumor and apoptosis responsive photoactivity conversion nanocomposite (MPPa-DP). Under physiological conditions, this nanocomposite has a low photoactivity. While at H2O2-rich tumor microenvironment, the nanocomposite could react with overexpressed H2O2 to produce O2 and release high photoactivity chimeric peptide PPa-DP for oxygenated tumor and PDT. Importantly, when the PDT mediates cell apoptosis, the photoactivity of PPa-DP be effectively quenched and the O2 consumption appeared retard, which avoided further consumption of residual O2 on apoptotic cells. In vitro and vivo studies revealed that this nanocomposite could efficiently change photoactivity, reasonable control O2 consumption and increase residual O2 content of tumor after PDT.

Abstract
Owing to the low abundance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in living tumor cells, the development of intracellular cancer-relevant miRNA stimuli-activatable photosensitizers (PSs) for accurate imaging and efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors in vivo is extremely challenging. Herein, we engineered a tumor targeting and intracellular trace miRNA-activatable nanophotosensitizer Y-motif/FA@HyNP on the basis of an endogenous ATP-powered strand-displacement cascade amplification strategy, which was prepared by assembly of a quencher BHQ2-labeled Y-motif DNA structure (containing ATP-binding aptamer and target miRNA-binding complementary sequence) on the surface of folate (FA) and amine-functionalized hybrid micellar nanoparticles. We showed that the fluorescence emissions at both 555 and 627 nm were effectively inhibited due to BHQ2 in Y-motif/FA@HyNPs, leading to negligible PDT efficacy. Once Y-motif/FA@HyNPs were selectively internalized into tumor cells via FA-receptor-mediated endocytosis, the intracellular trace target miRNA initiated the dissociation of the BHQ2-terminated sequences from Y-motif/FA@HyNPs by means of abundant endogenous ATP-powered strand-displacement reactions, causing remarkable fluorescence enhancement and cascade amplification PDT. The activated dual-color fluorescence emissions at 555 and 627 nm were feasible to achieve real-time, highly sensitive, and specific imaging of trace target miRNA in living tumor cells. With the guidance of excellent imaging in living mice, Y-motif/FA@HyNPs exhibited the precise and efficient PDT of tumors as well as insignificant side effects in vivo. This work revealed the great potential of using an integration of receptor-mediated cell uptake and target-triggered recycling cascade amplification strategy to design early cancer-relevant stimuli-activatable PSs for both fluorescence imaging and PDT ablation of tumors in vivo, which could effectively facilitate the timeliness and precision of early cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
The sun is the most abundant source of energy on earth. Phototrophs have discovered clever strategies to harvest this light energy and convert it to chemical energy for biomass production. This is achieved in light-harvesting complexes, or antennas, that funnel the exciton energy into the reaction centers. Antennas contain an array of chlorophylls, linear tetrapyrroles, and carotenoid pigments spatially controlled by neighboring proteins. This fine-tuned regulation of protein-pigment arrangements is crucial for survival in the conditions of both excess and extreme light deficit. Photomedicine and photodiagnosis have long been utilizing naturally derived and synthetic monomer dyes for imaging, photodynamic and photothermal therapy; however, the precise regulation of damage inflicted by these therapies requires more complex architectures. In this Account, we discuss how two mechanisms found in photosynthetic systems, photoprotection and light harvesting, have inspired scientists to create nanomedicines for more effective and precise phototherapies. Researchers have been recapitulating natural photoprotection mechanisms by utilizing carotenoids and other quencher molecules toward the design of photodynamic molecular beacons (PDT beacons) for disease-specific photoactivation. We highlight the seminal studies describing peptide-linked porphyrin-carotenoid PDT beacons, which are locally activated by a disease-specific enzyme. Examples of more advanced constructs include tumor-specific mRNA-activatable and polyionic cell-penetrating PDT beacons. An alternative approach toward harnessing photosynthetic processes for biomedical applications includes the design of various nanostructures. This Account will primarily focus on organic lipid-based micro- and nanoparticles. The phenomenon of nonphotochemical quenching, or excess energy release in the form of heat, has been widely explored in the context of porphyrin-containing nanomedicines. These quenched nanostructures can be implemented toward photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. Upon nanostructure disruption, as a result of tissue accumulation and subsequent cell uptake, activatable fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy can be achieved. Alternatively, processes found in nature for light harvesting under dim conditions, such as in the deep sea, can be harnessed to maximize light absorption within the tissue. Specifically, high-ordered dye aggregation that results in a bathochromic shift and increased absorption has been exploited for the collection of more light with longer wavelengths, characterized by maximum tissue penetration. Overall, the profound understanding of photosynthetic systems combined with rapid development of nanotechnology has yielded a unique field of nature-inspired photomedicine, which holds promise toward more precise and effective phototherapies.

Abstract
Nanomaterials play crucial roles in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Photothermal and photodynamic therapy, as two minimally invasive therapeutic methods, have promising potential in the diagnosis and prevention of cancer. Recently, many photothermal materials (such as noble metal material, transition metal sulfur oxides, carbon material and upconversion nanomaterial) and photodynamic materials (such as phthalein cyanogen, porphyrins and other dye molecules) have been applied in photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Moreover, as nanomaterials have suitable biocompatibility, these materials have been applied in cancer therapy. In the present review, we summarized the effects of different material types, synthesis methods, material morphologies and surface modifications on the outcomes of cancer therapy. The application of nanomaterials in PTT and PDT was introduced and the advantages and disadvantages of PTT and PDT in the prevention of cancer were discussed. Finally, we discussed the application of nanomaterials in the combination of PTT and PDT in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Developing concise theranostic prodrugs is highly desirable for personalized and precision cancer therapy. Herein we used the glutathione (GSH)-mediated conversion of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonates to phenols to protect a catechol moiety and developed stable pro-catechol-type diphenylpolyenes as small molecule-based prooxidative anticancer theranostic prodrugs. These molecules were synthesized via a modular route allowing creation of various pro-catechol-type diphenylpolyenes. As a typical representative, PDHH demonstrated three unique advantages: (1) capable of exploiting increased levels of GSH in cancer cells to in situ release a catechol moiety followed by its in situ oxidation to o-quinone, leading to preferential redox imbalance (including generation of H2O2 and depletion of GSH) and final selective killing of cancer cells over normal cells, and is also superior to 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin, the widely used chemotherapy drugs, in terms of its ability to kill preferentially human colon cancer SW620 cells (IC50 = 4.3 μM) over human normal liver L02 cells (IC50 = 42.3 μM) with a favourable in vitro selectivity index of 9.8; (2) permitting a turn-on fluorescent monitoring for its release, targeting mitochondria and therapeutic efficacy without the need of introducing additional fluorophores after its activation by GSH in cancer cells; (3) efficiently targeting mitochondria without the need of introducing additional mitochondria-directed groups.

Abstract
Development of theranostic probes that can be used to identify tumors and direct the on-demand drug administration to cancers is ongoing but remains challenging. Herein, we report a theranostic platform composed of a H2S-activated imaging probe and a light-sensitive drug. The designed probe affords advantages of H2S-activated NIR emission light-up and efficient 1O2 generation, enabling the selective visualization of H2S-rich cancers and the subsequent imaging-directed on-demand light exposure to the detected cancers while leaving normal tissues untouched. Such controllable administration of photodynamic anticancer therapy maximizes the therapeutic efficiency and minimizes side effects. This work should facilitate significant advances toward precise diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Herein, a nanomedicine (LaCIONPs) that can achieve tumor-specific chemotherapeutic drug release and ROS generation is developed for cancer chemo/chemodynamic combination therapy. The LaCIONPs are constructed by encapsulation of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and β-lapachone (La) in nanostructure assembled by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-responsive polyprodrug and pH-responsive polymer. Through the enhanced permeability and retention effect, the nanosized LaCIONPs can accumulate in tumor tissue. After the LaCIONPs are internalized by tumor cells, the structure of LaCIONPs is disintegrated in acidic intracellular environment, leading to rapid release of La and iron ions. Then the released La generates massive H2O2 through tumor specific catalysis. On the one hand, H2O2 further reacts with iron ions to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy. On the other hand, H2O2 also activates the release of camptothecin from the polyprodrug for chemotherapy. The potent antitumor effect of the LaCIONPs is demonstrated by both in vitro and in vivo results. Therefore, the LaCIONP is a promising nanomedicine for tumor-specific chemo/chemodynamic combination therapy.

Abstract
Recently, photosensitized oxidation has been explored in many fields of research and applications, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT). Although the photosensitized generation of ROS features emerging applications, controllable management of the photosensitization process is still sometimes problematic. DNA has long been considered the carrier for genetic information. With the in-depth study of the chemical properties of DNA, the molecular function of DNA is gradually witnessed by the scientific community. Undoubtedly, the selective recognition nature of DNA endows them excellent candidate modulators for photosensitized oxidation. According to current research, reports on DNA regulation of photosensitized oxidation can be roughly divided into two categories in principle: P-Q quenching pair-switched photosensitization and host-guest interaction-switched photosensitization. In this review, the development status of these two analytical methods will be summarized, and the future development direction of DNA-modulated photosensitization in biosensing and environmental monitoring will also be prospected.

Abstract
Transition metal complexes are of increasing interest as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and, more recently, for photochemotherapy (PCT). In recent years, Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes have emerged as promising systems for both PDT and PCT. Their rich photochemical and photophysical properties derive from a variety of excited-state electronic configurations accessible with visible and near-infrared light, and these properties can be exploited for both energy- and electron-transfer processes that can yield highly potent oxygen-dependent and/or oxygen-independent photobiological activity. Selected examples highlight the use of rational design in coordination chemistry to control the lowest-energy triplet excited-state configurations for eliciting a particular type of photoreactivity for PDT and/or PCT effects. These principles are also discussed in the context of the development of TLD1433, the first Ru(II)-based photosensitizer for PDT to enter a human clinical trial. The design of TLD1433 arose from a tumor-centered approach, as part of a complete PDT package that includes the light component and the protocol for treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Briefly, this review summarizes the challenges to bringing PDT into mainstream cancer therapy. It considers the chemical and photophysical solutions that transition metal complexes offer, and it puts into context the multidisciplinary effort needed to bring a new drug to clinical trial.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been successfully used to treat a variety of cancers. However, one drawback has been the adverse side effects experienced by patients during therapy, as a result of the destruction of normal tissues upon irradiation. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and characterisation of a photosensitiser to overcome this issue that, in addition to light, is also dependent on the overactive redox system present in cancer cells for its activation. Our probe consists of the photosensitiser, protoporphyrin IX, and a FRET-based quencher dye, BHQ-3, on a scaffold containing a disulfide bond. The close proximity of BHQ-3 to protoporphyrin IX quenches its ability to fluoresce and produce reactive oxygen species, whereas nonenzymatic or enzymatic reduction can recover its native properties. We further demonstrate its ability to be activated in cancer cells in a thiol-dependent manner and destroy breast and lung cancer cells upon red-light irradiation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and effective method for tumor therapy that relies on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths to inhibit tumor cells. Inorganic semiconductive materials are potential photosensitizers that can excellently absorb ultraviolet light to produce ROS to kill cancer cells. However, this strategy is still limited in terms of practical applications due to the weak penetration of ultraviolet light through biological tissue, as well as the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, largely decreasing ROS generation. In this research, novel PDT agents made with mesoporous lanthanide-semiconductor composites are developed to obtain a remarkable amount of generated ROS under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Due to the larger size (about 120 nm) of the up-conversion material (UCM) used as the substrate, coated with different amounts of semiconductors with mesoporous morphologies, this platform could emit higher blue emission under a 980 nm laser. Meanwhile, both of the semiconductors (SnO2 and TiO2) used have wide absorbance bands in the ultraviolet region, and the ultraviolet fluorescence emitted from the UCM core under NIR laser excitation can be used as the energy donor. Electron transfer processes in SnO2 and TiO2 are generated via the above platforms and produce ROS through photochemical action. Furthermore, the coated semiconductors are mesoporous with larger surface areas (about 302 m2 g−1) and various channels; this is beneficial to obtain enough oxygen to generate more ROS under a hypoxic environment. The PDT efficiency of a typical NaYF4@SnO2 sample is studied using a DPBF detector, in vitro MTT assays, and in vivo tumor inhibition experiments, revealing that this lanthanide-semiconductor platform could be potentially used as a PDT agent under NIR excitation. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and effective method for tumor therapy that relies on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths to inhibit tumor cells.![]()

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an appealing therapeutic modality in management of some solid tumors and other diseases for its minimal invasion and non-systemic toxicity. However, the hydrophobicity and non-selectivity of the photosensitizers, inherent serious hypoxia of tumor tissues and limited penetration depth of light restrict PDT further applications in clinic. Functional polymer nanoparticles can be used as a nanocarrier for accurate PDT. Here, we elucidate the mechanism and application of PDT in cancer treatments, and then review some strategies to administer the biodistribution and activation of photosensitizers (PSs) to ameliorate or utilize the tumor hypoxic microenvironment to enhance the photodynamic therapy effect.

Abstract
Electrochromic materials (EMs) are widely used color-switchable materials, but their applications as stimuli-responsive biomaterials to monitor and control biological processes remain unexplored. This study reports the engineering of an organic π-electron structure-based EM (dicationic 1,1,4,4-tetraarylbutadiene, 12+) as a unique hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-responsive chromophore amenable to build H2S-activatable fluorescent probes (12+-semiconducting polymer nanoparticles, 12+-SNPs) for in vivo H2S detection. We demonstrate that EM 12+, with a strong absorption (500-850 nm), efficiently quenches the fluorescence (580, 700, or 830 nm) of different fluorophores within 12+-SNPs, while the selective conversion into colorless diene 2 via H2S-mediated two-electron reduction significantly recovers fluorescence, allowing for non-invasive imaging of hepatic and tumor H2S in mice in real time. Strikingly, EM 12+ is further applied to design a near-infrared photosensitizer with tumor-targeting and H2S-activatable ability for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) of H2S-related tumors in mice. This study demonstrates promise for applying EMs to build activatable probes for molecular imaging of H2S and selective PDT of tumors, which may lead to the development of new EMs capable of detecting and regulating essential biological processes in vivo.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen, although integral to photodynamic therapy, is notoriously uncontrollable, suffers from poor selectivity and has fast decomposition rates in biological media. Across the scientific community, there is a conscious effort to refine singlet oxygen interactions and initiate selective and controlled release to produce a consistent and reproducible therapeutic effect in target tissue. This perspective aims to provide an insight into the contemporary design principles behind photosensitizers and drug delivery systems that depend on a singlet oxygen response or controlled release. The discussion will be accompanied by in vitro and in vivo examples, in an attempt to highlight advancements in the field and future prospects for the more widespread application of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have developed ultrasmall porphyrin-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) nanoparticles (<20 nm), called "porphyrinHDL," that have a high density of porphyrin molecules and dissociate rapidly upon tumor cell accumulation to become fluorescent and photoactive. This is introduced as a novel activatable photosensitizer for image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, we report the studies of these nanoparticles targeted to scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) expressed on lung cancer cells as a first step toward development of a minimally invasive treatment for peripheral lung cancer and metastatic lymph nodes of advanced lung cancer. METHODS The in vitro uptake of porphyrinHDL and the corresponding PDT efficacy were evaluated in both SR-BI-positive and SR-BI-negative lung cancer cell lines. A clinically relevant orthotopic lung cancer model in mice was used to examine fluorescence activation and quantification of uptake in tumor. In addition, we investigated the effect of porphyrinHDL-mediated PDT. RESULTS PorphyrinHDL promoted proper intracellular uptake in the H460 human lung cancer cell line. When irradiated with a 671-nm PDT laser, porphyrinHDL produced significant therapeutic effectiveness in vitro. After systemic administration in mice with orthotopic lung cancer xenografts, porphyrinHDL demonstrated selective accumulation and photoactivation in tumor with significantly enhanced disease-to-normal tissue contrast. Moreover, porphyrinHDL-PDT significantly induced cell apoptosis in lung tumors (73.2%) without toxicity in normal tissues or damage to adjacent critical structures. CONCLUSIONS SR-BI-targeted porphyrinHDL-mediated PDT of lung cancer is selective and effective in vitro and in vivo. These initial proof-of-principle studies suggest the potential of a "smart" PDT approach for highly selective tumor ablation.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that the use of a cyclopeptidic carrier could be of great interest for the design of fully characterized prodrugs for further use in photodynamic therapy. In order to further optimize the design, we decided to modify the highly quenched conjugate uPA-cPPP4/5 by co-loading a long-distance fluorescence quencher. For this purpose we tethered two black hole quenchers (BHQ3) together with two pheophorbide A moities onto the same PEGylated backbone and assessed the modified photophysical properties. In addition, to prove the reliability of our concept, we designed two analogues, uPA-cPPQ2+2/5 and CathB-cPPQ2+2/5, by using two different peptidic linkers as substrates for uPA and cathepsin B, respectively. These two conjugates proved to be much more water-soluble than their analogues bearing only Phas. These conjugates are not only highly quenched in their native state with regard to their fluorescence emission (up to 850 ± 287 times less fluorescent for CathB-cPPQ2+2/5 as compared to the unquenched monosubstituted reference uPA-cPPP1/5), but also prevent singlet oxygen production (with a total quenching of the emission when the quenchers are co-loaded with photosensitizers) when the photosentistizers are excited. After proteolytic activation, these conjugates recover their photophysical properties in the same way as occurred for uPA-cPPP4/5, with up to a 120-fold increase in fluorescence emission for uPA-cPPQ2+2/5 after two hours of incubation with uPA.

Abstract
A novel upconverting nanotheranostic agent, UCNP-CAE-FDU/NO2, activated by both hypoxia (internal stimuli) and NIR irradiation (external stimuli) was designed and synthesized for simultaneous imaging and chemotherapy of solid tumours. The devised theranostic agent consists of an active drug, floxuridine (FDU), upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP: NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+, multifunctional carriers for upconverting 980 nm NIR light to 365 nm UV light and tumour-targeted drug delivery), (E)-o-hydroxycinnamic acid (CAE, a UV-photo trigger and a fluorescence dye precursor), and a 4-nitrobenzyl group (a hypoxic trigger). In addition, FDU was modified by CAE, and CAE was modified by the 4-nitrobenzyl group; moreover, CAE was conjugated to UCNPs by covalent bonds to form a novel UCNP-CAE-FDU/NO2 platform. In normal cells, the platform is "locked", whereas in tumour cells, hypoxia combined with NIR illumination (980 nm) "unlocks" the platform, based on a series of reactions including the reduction of UCNP-CAE-FDU/NO2 catalyzed by over-expression of nitroreductase (NTR), 1,6-rearrangement-elimination, the photo-isomerization of UCNP-CAE-FDU caused by absorption of NIR irradiation and emission at 365 nm of UCNP-CAE-FDU/NO2, and intramolecular esterification, which initiate the fluorescent dye in conjugation with UCNP (UCNP-CM) formation and FDU release with high spatio-temporal control. The amounts of FDU and UCNP-CM released can be accurately tuned by controlling the NIR illumination time. UCNP-CAE-FDU/NO2 showed excellent selectivity for hypoxic cells, exhibited high cytotoxicity against cancer cells and almost no cytotoxicity to normal cells, presented significant inhibition of tumour growth in vivo, and displayed sensitive detection of the hypoxic status and the amount of FDU released. The excellent properties of UCNP-CAE-FDU/NO2 endow it with great potential applications for precise imaging of tumour cells and personalized solid tumour treatment.

Abstract
The precise and selective delivery of chemodrugs into tumors represents a critical requirement for anti-cancer therapy. Intelligent delivery systems that are responsive to a single internal or external stimulus often lack sufficient cancer selectivity, which compromises the drug efficacy and induces undesired side effects. To overcome this dilemma, we herein report a cancer-targeting vehicle which allows highly cancer-selective drug release in response to cascaded external (light) and internal (hypoxia) dual triggers. In particular, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded, hypoxia-dissociable nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from self-assembled polyethylenimine-nitroimidazole (PEI-NI) micelles that were further co-assembled with hyaluronic acid-Ce6 (HC). Upon accumulation in tumor cells, tumor site-specific light irradiation (660 nm, 10 mW cm-2) generated high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and greatly enhanced the hypoxic levels to induce NP dissociation and accordingly DOX release. A synergistic anti-cancer efficacy between DOX-mediated chemotherapy and Ce6-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) was thus achieved, resulting in reduced side effects to normal tissues/cells. This study therefore provides an effective method to control the cancer-specific drug delivery by responding to cascaded multiple triggers, and it renders promising applications for the programmed combination of chemotherapy and PDT toward cancer treatment.

Abstract
Density Functional Theory and time-dependent (TD) DFT calculations were carried out for recently reported 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY)-based photosensitizers (PSs) that could be activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) to generate 1 O2 specifically in target tissues. To assess the applicability of the compounds as activatable PSs (a-PSs) in photodynamic therapy, absorption wavelengths; singlet-triplet energy gaps; and spin-orbit matrix elements for the radiationless transition, Sn →Tm , were investigated. A TD-DFT qualitative analysis indicated that only a Br-substituted BODIPY derivative with the chromanol ring of α-tocopherol linked by methylene functioned as an a-PS. The chromanol ring promotes photoinduced electron transfer to the BODIPY unit that reduces the probability of intersystem crossing and triplet-state population, and can turn off 1 O2 photosensitization. Therefore, 1 O2 photosensitization can be switched on only in target cells in which the chromanol ring is oxidized by ROS. The oxidation reaction pathways of the most promising derivative, by either 1 O2 or cumyloxyl radical as typical ROS, have been examined to reveal that oxidation by the cumyloxyl radical is more effective than that by 1 O2 .

Abstract
Targeted delivery of intracellular stimuli-activatable photosensitizers (PSs) into tumor cells to achieve selective imaging and on-demand photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors has provided a vital opportunity for precise cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this paper, we report a tumor targeting and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-activatable nanophotosensitizer Apt-HyNP/BHQ2 by modifying hybrid micellar nanoparticles with both nucleolin-targeting aptamer AS1411 and quencher BHQ2-labeled ATP-binding aptamer BHQ2-ATP-apt. We demonstrated that both of the fluorescence emissions at 555 and 627 nm were quenched by BHQ2 in Apt-HyNP/BHQ2, resulting in low PDT capacity. After selective entry into tumor cells through nucleolin-mediated endocytosis, the high concentration of intracellular ATP could bind to BHQ2-ATP-apt and trigger Apt-HyNP/BHQ2 dissociation, leading to turning "on" both fluorescence and PDT. The "off-on" fluorescence emissions at both 555 and 627 nm were successfully applied for dual color fluorescence imaging of endogenous ATP levels and real-time monitoring of intracellular activation of Apt-HyNP/BHQ2 in tumor cells. Moreover, imaging-guided precise PDT of tumors in living mice was also demonstrated, allowing for selective ablation of tumors without obvious side effects. This study highlights the potential of using a combination of tumor-targeting and ATP-binding aptamers to design ATP-activatable PSs for both fluorescence imaging and imaging-guided PDT of tumors in vivo.

Abstract
Nontoxic prodrugs, especially activated by tumor microenvironment, are urgently required for reducing the side effects of cancer therapy. And combination of chemo-photodynamic therapy prodrugs show effectively synergetic therapeutic efficiency, however, this goal has not been achieved in a single molecule. In this work, we developed a mitochondrial-targeted prodrug PNPS for near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging guided and synergetic chemo-photodynamic precise cancer therapy for the first time. PNPS contains a NIR photosensitizer (NPS) and an anticancer drug 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR). These two parts are linked and caged through a bisboronate group, displaying no fluorescence and very low cytotoxicity. In the presence of H2O2, the bisboronate group is broken, resulting in activation of NPS for NIR photodynamic therapy and activation of 5'-DFUR for chemotherapy. The activated NPS can also provide a NIR fluorescence signal for monitoring the release of activated drug. Taking advantage of the high H2O2 concentration in cancer cells, PNPS exhibits higher cytotoxicity to cancer cells than normal cells, resulting in lower side effects. In addition, based on its mitochondrial-targeted ability, PNPS exhibits enhanced chemotherapy efficiency compare to free 5'-DFUR. It also demonstrated a remarkably improved and synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapeutic effect for cancer cells. Moreover, PNPS exhibits excellent tumor microenvironment-activated performance when intravenously injected into tumor-bearing nude mice, as demonstrated by in vivo fluorescence imaging. Thus, PNPS is a promising prodrug for cancer therapy based on its tumor microenvironment-activated drug release, synergistic therapeutic effect and "turn-on" NIR imaging guide.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy, in which malignant tissue is killed by targeted light exposure following administration of a photosensitizer, can be a valuable treatment modality but currently relies on passive transport and local irradiation to avoid off-target oxidation. We present a system of excited-state control for truly local delivery of singlet oxygen. An anionic phenylene ethynylene oligomer is initially quenched by water, producing minimal fluorescence and no measurable singlet oxygen generation. When presented with a binding partner, in this case an oppositely charged surfactant, changes in solvent microenvironment result in fluorescence unquenching, restoration of intersystem crossing to the triplet state, and singlet oxygen generation, as assayed by transient absorption spectroscopy and chemical trapping. This solvation-controlled photosensitizer model has possible applications as a theranostic agent for, for example, amyloid diseases.

Abstract
With singlet oxygen (1O2) as the active agent, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising technique for the treatment of various tumors and cancers. But it is hampered by the poor selectivity of most traditional photosensitizers (PS). In this review, we present a summary of controllable PDT implemented by regulating singlet oxygen efficiency. Herein, various controllable PDT strategies based on different initiating conditions (such as pH, light, H2O2 and so on) have been summarized and introduced. More importantly, the action mechanisms of controllable PDT strategies, such as photoinduced electron transfer (PET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and some physical/chemical means (e.g. captivity and release), are described as a key point in the article. This review provide a general overview of designing novel PS or strategies for effective and controllable PDT.

Abstract
Many diseases can be characterized by the abnormal activity exhibited by various biomolecules, the targeting of which can provide therapeutic and diagnostic utility. Recent trends in medicine and nanotechnology have prompted the development of protease-sensitive nanomaterials systems for therapeutic, diagnostic, and theranostic applications. These systems can act specifically in response to the target enzyme and its associated disease conditions, thus enabling personalized treatment and improved prognosis. In this Review, we discuss recent advancements in the development of protease-responsive materials for imaging and drug delivery and analyze several representative systems to illustrate their key design principles.
