Abstract
A novel carbon dot-based luminescence probe for singlet oxygen (1O2) with a conventional optical detector has been implemented through the specific formation of electronically excited carbonyls from the breakdown of unstable endoperoxide intermediates, and its application in the real-time in vivo monitoring of 1O2 in photodynamic therapy (PDT) is achieved. More attractively, the relationship between the dynamics details of photosensitizer-generated 1O2 and the PDT efficacy has been established through a modified multiple-target survival model, enabling a direct and easy estimate of the surviving fraction of tumor cells from the generation dynamics of 1O2. Both in vitro and in vivo therapy results revealed that the rapid generation dynamics of 1O2 rather than its cumulative amount is responsible for better treatment efficacy in PDT. Overall, the deeper insight into the important roles of the generation dynamics of 1O2 in the PDT efficacy is irreplaceably advantageous in substantially reduced risks from deleterious treatment-related side effects by screening advanced photosensitizers and determining the light exposure end point.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays significant physiological and pathological functions, especially in causing photodynamic stress in vivo. However, specific 1O2 monitoring is an immense challenge, owing to its short half-lives and high oxidizing ability. To address this, we engineered three photostable two-photon fluorescence probe NBs for highly efficient 1O2 monitoring based on bioinspired novel tryptophan derivatives, among which NB-MOT was the best one comprehensively. Upon being cracked with 1O2, NB-MOT rapidly (within 5 s) demonstrated a remarkable enhancement in fluorescence intensity (∼180 fold) and lifetime (∼18 fold). Taking these advantages into account, NB-MOT was applied to evaluate exogenous and endogenous 1O2 in diverse biosystems. We successfully tracked the intracellular 1O2 level during photodynamic therapy, and for the first time achieved 1O2 mapping in live cells with dual-mode imaging as well as revealed ciprofloxacin-induced photodynamic stress in mice. NB-MOT was thus believed to be of instructive significance for studying the 1O2-mediated stress in wider biological milieus.

Abstract
Hypoxia, a common characteristic in solid tumors, is found in phenotypically aggressive cancers that display resistance to typical cancer interventions. Due to its important role in tumor progression, tumor hypoxia has been considered as a primary target for cancer diagnosis and treatment. An advantage of hypoxia-activated nanomedicines is that they are inactive in normoxic cells. In hypoxic tumor tissues and cells, these nanomedicines undergo reduction by activated enzymes (usually through 1 or 2 electron oxidoreductases) to produce cytotoxic substances. In this review, we will focus on approaches to design nanomedicines that take advantage of tumor hypoxia. These approaches include: i) inhibitors of hypoxia-associated signaling pathways; ii) prodrugs activated by hypoxia; iii) nanocarriers responsive to hypoxia, and iv) bacteria mediated hypoxia targeting therapy. These strategies have guided and will continue to guide nanoparticle design in the near future. These strategies have the potential to overcome tumor heterogeneity to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and diagnosis.

A glutathione-responsive photosensitizer with fluorescence resonance energy transfer characteristics for imaging-guided targeting photodynamic therapy. Eur J Med Chem 2020; 193:112203.

Abstract
Here, we have synthesized and characterized a novel activatable photosensitizer (PS) 8a in which two well-designed boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives are utilized as the photosensitizing fluorophore and quencher respectively, which are connected by a disulfide linker via two successive Cu (І) catalyzed click reactions. The fluorescence emission and singlet oxygen production of 8a are suppressed via intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the excited BODIPY-based PS part to quencher unit, but both of them can be simultaneously switched on by cancer-related biothiol glutathione (GSH) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution with 0.05% Tween 80 as a result of cleavage of disulfide. Also, 8a exhibits a bright fluorescence image and a substantial ROS production in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma, HeLa human cervical carcinoma and H22 mouse hepatoma cells having a relatively high concentration of GSH, thereby leading to a significant photocytotoxicity, with IC50 values as low as 0.44 μM, 0.67 μM and 0.48 μM, respectively. In addition, the photosensitizer can be effectively activated and imaged in H22 transplanted hepatoma tumors of mice and shows a strong inhibition on tumor growth. All these results suggest that such a GSH-responsive photosensitizer based on FRET mechanism may provide a new strategy for tumor-targeted and fluorescence imaging-guided cancer therapy.

Abstract
Targeting the tumor microenvironment (TME) provides opportunities to modulate tumor physiology, enhance the delivery of therapeutic agents, impact immune response and overcome resistance. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemistry-based, nonthermal modality that produces reactive molecular species at the site of light activation and is in the clinic for nononcologic and oncologic applications. The unique mechanisms and exquisite spatiotemporal control inherent to PDT enable selective modulation or destruction of the TME and cancer cells. Mechanical stress plays an important role in tumor growth and survival, with increasing implications for therapy design and drug delivery, but remains understudied in the context of PDT and PDT-based combinations. This review describes pharmacoengineering and bioengineering approaches in PDT to target cellular and noncellular components of the TME, as well as molecular targets on tumor and tumor-associated cells. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of mechanical stress in the context of targeted PDT regimens, and combinations, for primary and metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Identifying the location and expression levels of enzymes under hypoxic conditions in cancer cells is vital in early-stage cancer diagnosis and monitoring. By encapsulating a fluorescent substrate, L-NO2 , within the NADH mimic-containing metal-organic capsule Zn-MPB, we developed a cofactor-substrate-based supramolecular luminescent probe for ultrafast detection of hypoxia-related enzymes in solution in vitro and in vivo. The host-guest structure fuses the coenzyme and substrate into one supramolecular probe to avoid control by NADH, switching the catalytic process of nitroreductase from a double-substrate mechanism to a single-substrate one. This probe promotes enzyme efficiency by altering the substrate catalytic process and enhances the electron transfer efficiency through an intra-molecular pathway with increased activity. The enzyme content and fluorescence intensity showed a linear relationship and equilibrium was obtained in seconds, showing potential for early tumor diagnosis, biomimetic catalysis, and prodrug activation.

Abstract
Human NAD(P)H: Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (hNQO1) is an attractive enzyme for cancer therapeutics due to its significant overexpression in tumors compared to healthy tissues. Its unique catalytic mechanism involving the two-electron reduction of quinone-based compounds has made it a useful target to exploit in the design of hNQO1 fluorescent chemosensors and hNQO1-activatable-prodrugs. In this work, hNQO1 is exploited for an optical therapeutic. The probe uses the photosensitizer, phenalenone, which is initially quenched via photo-induced electron transfer by the attached quinone. Native phenalenone is liberated in the presence of hNQO1 resulting in the production of cytotoxic singlet oxygen upon irradiation. hNQO1-mediated activation in A549 lung cancer cells containing high levels of hNQO1 induces a dose-dependent photo-cytotoxic response after irradiation. In contrast, no photo-cytotoxicity was observed in the normal lung cell line, MRC9. By targeting hNQO1, this scaffold can be used to enhance the cancer selectivity of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics, which combines diagnostic and therapeutic effects into one entity, holds promise in precision medicine. Conventional theranostic agents possess always-on imaging signals and cytotoxic effects and thus often encounter poor selectivity or specificity in cancer treatment. To tackle this issue, activatable phototheranostic materials (PMs) have been developed to simultaneously and specifically turn on their diagnostic signals (fluorescence/self-luminescence/photoacoustic signals) and photothermal/photodynamic effects in response to cancer hallmarks. This Review summarizes the recent progress in the design, synthesis and proof-of-concept applications of activatable PMs. The molecular engineering strategy to increase tumor accumulation and enhance treatment efficacy are highlighted. Current challenges and future perspectives in this emerging field are also discussed.

Abstract
Rhodamine dyes were widely developed for designing probes due to their excellent photophysical properties and biocompatibility. However, traditional rhodamine dyes still bear major drawbacks of short emission wavelengths (<600 nm) and narrow Stokes shifts (<30 nm), which limit their biological imaging applications. Herein, we reported a novel mitochondria-targeted fluorescent dye JRQ with near-infrared (NIR) emission wavelength and improved Stokes shift (63 nm) by tuning the donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) character of the rhodamine skeleton. As expected, JRQ exhibited multiple excellent properties and could accumulate in mitochondria, and can therefore be used as a signal reporter for the design of fluorescent probes by taking advantage of the fluorescence controlled mechanism of the ring opening and closing chemical processes of the spirolactone platform. By using JRQ as a precursor, a highly sensitive fluorescent probe JRQN for the fast detection of mitochondrial Cu2+ ions was synthesized based on the Cu2+-triggered specific hydrolysis mechanism because mitochondria are an important reservoir of intracellular Cu2+. We expect that the Stokes shift increase of rhodamine dyes via tuning the donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) character of the rhodamine skeleton will provide a novel synthetic approach for the development of rhodamine dyes and expansion of their applications. A novel NIR rhodamine dye JRQ with large Stokes shift (70 nm) by fusing the 1,4-diethylpiperazine moiety in rhodamine dyes has been synthesized and utilized to design a probe.![]()

Abstract
In this paper, we report a novel near-infrared (NIR) mitochondrion-targeted fluorescent probe, RQS, with an improved Stokes shift (96 nm) for the specific detection of mitochondrial mercury ion (Hg2+) because mitochondrion is one of the main targeted organelles of Hg2+. For the preparation of the probe, a novel asymmetrical fluorescent xanthene dye RQ was first synthesized by tuning the donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) character of the rhodamine skeleton, and then the probe RQS was constructed by the mechanism of mercury-promoted ring-opening reaction. As expected, RQS could be used for the specific detection of Hg2+ with high selectivity, high sensitivity, and a detection limit down to the nanomolar range (2 nM). Importantly, RQS is capable of specifically distributing in mitochondria, and thus detect Hg2+ in real-time and provided a potential tool for studying the cytotoxic mechanisms of Hg2+. A novel mitochondrion-targeting Hg2+ probe, RQS, with NIR emission (680 nm) and a large Stokes shift (96 nm) was developed by tuning the D–A–D character of the rhodamine skeleton.![]()

Abstract
New 5-pyrazolone based azo- dyes (2-5) and a bisazo- dye (6) were synthesized via diazo- coupling reaction with substituted aryl amines. All azo-5-pyrazolone compounds were characterized with the aid of FTIR, UV-Vis., 1H NMR, 13C NMR-APT and, GC-MS or ESI(+)-MS spectroscopic techniques. NMR studies showed that all azo- and bisazo- compounds, are in hydrazo-keto form except compound 5 which is in enol-azo form in solution. FTIR(ATR) studies indicated that compounds 2 and 4 are in azo-keto form, compounds 3 and 6 are in hydrazo-keto form and compound 5 is in enol-azo form in the solid state. All newly synthesized compounds were investigated for their absorption and emission characteristics. Photophysical properties of the solvent polarity effect and acid/base effect on the absorption and emission spectra were evaluated for an azo- (2) and a bisazo- compound (6). All azo-5-pyrazolone compounds showed fluorescence properties and the solvents with different polarities gave rise to shifts in the absorption and emission spectra of 2 and 6. The base addition did not affect the emission spectra while changing the absorption properties of the azo- and bisazo- compounds. Thermal work of 2 and 6 were carried out with TG/DTG technique and the results showed that compound 2 had adequate stability for industrial applications as a fluorescent material.

Abstract
The selective formation of nanomaterials in cancer cells and tumors holds great promise for cancer diagnostics and therapy. Until now, most strategies rely on a single trigger to control the formation of nanomaterials in situ. The combination of two or more triggers may provide for more sophisticated means of manipulation. In this study, we rationally designed a molecule (Comp. 1) capable of responding to two enzymes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and reductase. Since the A549 lung cancer cell line showed elevated levels of extracellular ALP and intracellular reductase, we demonstrated that Comp. 1 responded in a stepwise fashion to those two enzymes and displayed a tandem molecular self-assembly behavior. The selective formation of nanofibers in the mitochondria of the lung cancer cells led to the disruption of the mitochondrial membrane, resulting in an increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the release of cytochrome C (Cyt C). ROS can react with proteins, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR). This severe ER stress led to disruption of the ER, formation of vacuoles, and ultimately, apoptosis of the A549 cells. Therefore, Comp. 1 could selectively inhibit lung cancer cells in vitro and A549 xenograft tumors in vivo. Our study provides a novel strategy for the selective formation of nanomaterials in lung cancer cells, which is powerful and promising for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn great interest in recent years mainly due to its low side effects and few drug resistances. Nevertheless, one of the issues of PDT is the need for oxygen to induce a photodynamic effect. Tumours often have low oxygen concentrations, related to the abnormal structure of the microvessels leading to an ineffective blood distribution. Moreover, PDT consumes O2. In order to improve the oxygenation of tumour or decrease hypoxia, different strategies are developed and are described in this review: 1) The use of O2 vehicle; 2) the modification of the tumour microenvironment (TME); 3) combining other therapies with PDT; 4) hypoxia-independent PDT; 5) hypoxia-dependent PDT and 6) fractional PDT.

Abstract
Self-assembled phototheranostic nanomaterials used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) have attracted increasing attention owing to their several advantages. Herein, we developed a novel strategy for size-tunable self-assembled nanophotosensitizers for PDT through a simple method. A series of switchable self-assembled nanophotosensitizers (NanoPc90, NanoPc40, NanoPc20, and NanoPc10) of different particle sizes were readily prepared based on an amphiphilic silicon(IV) phthalocyanine (SiPc)-biotin conjugate by regulating the amount of the Cremophor EL surfactant used. The photoactivities, including fluorescence and reactive oxygen species (ROS), of the self-assemblies could be regulated by the particle size. The self-assemblies could be specifically disassembled by tumor-overexpressing biotin receptors, leading to the recovery of quenched photoactivities. Demonstrated by the competitive assay, the self-assemblies were able to enter HepG2 cells through a biotin-receptor-mediated pathway, followed by biotin-receptor-triggered fluorescence recovery at the cellular level. Moreover, the particle size could also affect the in vitro and in vivo PDT effects and tumor targeting. The photocytotoxicity of NanoPc20 against HepG2 cells was more potent compared to that of NanoPc90 because of its strong intracellular fluorescence, higher intracellular ROS generation, and different subcellular localization. In addition, NanoPc20 showed higher in vivo tumor targeting and photodynamic therapeutic efficacy than NanoPc90. This work would provide a valuable reference for the development of self-assembled nanophotosensitizers for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a key hallmark of solid tumors and tumor hypoxia usually contributes to cancer progression, therapeutic resistance and poor outcome. Accurately detecting and imaging tumor hypoxia with high spatial resolution would be conducive to formulating optimized treatment plan and thus achieving better patient outcome. Methods: Tumor hypoxia can cleave the azo linker and release a NIR fluorophore (NR-NH2) and release the active drug as well. NR-NH2 shows a strong absorption band at around 680 nm and a strong fluorescence band at 710 nm, allowing for both multispectral optoacoustic tomography imaging (MSOT) and fluorescent imaging of tumor hypoxia in a tumor-bearing mouse model. Results: Liposome encapsulated with the activatable chromophore (NR-azo) for detecting/imaging tumor hypoxia and for tumor inhibition was demonstrated. For this chromophore, a xanthene-based NIR fluorophore acts as the optoacoustic and fluorescent reporter, an azo linker serves as the hypoxia-responsive moiety and a nitrogen mustard as the therapeutic drug. NR-azo shows an absorption at around 575 nm but exhibits negligible fluorescence due to the existence of the strong electron-withdrawing azo linker. Conclusion: We demonstrated an optoacoustic and fluorescent system for not only imaging tumor hypoxia in vivo but also achieving tumor inhibition.

Abstract
Benzidine was found to be a novel transient directing group to enable Pd-catalyzed direct selenylation of inert C(sp2)-H bonds of benzaldehydes. Diverse diarylselenides were readily constructed in high efficiency and satisfactory yields with good functional group tolerance. The practical usage of the method was further demonstrated by enlarged reaction to gram scale and application in the facile access to two selenoxanthenes and one fluorescent probe.

Abstract
The cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photoactivated sensitizers have been well explored in tumor therapy for nearly half a century, which is known as photodynamic therapy (PDT). The poor light penetration depth severely hinders PDT as a primary or adjuvant therapy for clinical indication. Whereas microwaves (MWs) are advantageous for deep penetration depth, the MW energy is considerably lower than that required for the activation of any species to induce ROS generation. Herein we find that liquid metal (LM) supernanoparticles activated by MW irradiation can generate ROS, such as ·OH and ·O2. On this basis, we design dual-functional supernanoparticles by loading LMs and an MW heating sensitizer ionic liquid (IL) into mesoporous ZrO2 nanoparticles, which can be activated by MW as the sole energy source for dynamic and thermal therapy concomitantly. The microwave sensitizer opens the door to an entirely novel dynamic treatment for tumors.

Abstract
As traditional phototherapy agents, boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) photosensitizers have attracted increasing attention due to their high molar extinction coefficients, high phototherapy efficacy, and excellent photostability. After being formed into nanostructures, BODIPY-containing nano-photosensitizers show enhanced water solubility and biocompatibility as well as efficient tumor accumulation compared to BODIPY molecules. Hence, BODIPY nano-photosensitizers demonstrate a promising potential for fighting cancer. This review contains three sections, classifying photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and the combination of PDT and PTT based on BODIPY nano-photosensitizers. It summarizes various BODIPY nano-photosensitizers, which are prepared via different approaches including molecular precipitation, supramolecular interactions, and polymer encapsulation. In each section, the design strategies and working principles of these BODIPY nano-photosensitizers are highlighted. In addition, the detailed in vitro and in vivo applications of these recently developed nano-photosensitizers are discussed together with future challenges in this field, highlighting the potential of these promising nanoagents for new tumor phototherapies.

Abstract
Hypoxic tumor microenvironment is the bottleneck of the conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and significantly weakens the overall therapeutic efficiency. Herein, versatile metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets (DBBC-UiO) comprised of bacteriochlorin ligand and Hf6(µ3-O)4(µ3-OH)4 clusters to address this tricky issue are designed. The resulting DBBC-UiO enables numerous superoxide anion radical (O2 -•) generation via a type I mechanism with a 750 nm NIR-laser irradiation, part of which transforms to high toxic hydroxyl radical (OH•) and oxygen (O2) through superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated catalytic reactions under severe hypoxic microenvironment (2% O2), and the partial recycled O2 enhances O2 -• generation. Owing to the synergistic radicals, it realizes advanced antitumor performance with 91% cell mortality against cancer cells in vitro, and highly efficient hypoxic solid tumor ablation in vivo. It also accomplishes photoacoustic imaging (PAI) for cancer diagnosis. This DBBC-UiO, taking advantage of superb penetration depth of the 750 nm laser and distinct antihypoxia activities, offers new opportunities for PDT against clinically hypoxic cancer.

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
Herein, taking graphite carbon nitride ( g-C3N4) as the example, we demonstrated that the two limiting factors that determine the photosensitization performance, namely, light absorption and intersystem crossing (ISC), could be simultaneously enhanced through Pt2+ doping. Specifically, as a π-conjugated two-dimensional semiconductor, g-C3N4 is capable of absorbing light shorter than 460 nm (2.7 eV). Upon Pt2+ doping that allows metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) from Pt2+ to the substrate g-C3N4, the light absorption of g-C3N4 was greatly expanded up to 1000 nm. Meanwhile, the large atomic number of Pt2+ ensures promotion of ISC to activate the triplet state of g-C3N4 via heavy atom effect (HAE), which was confirmed via both photosensitization performance and photophysical characterizations. Further, the enhanced light absorption and photosensitization of Pt2+-doped g-C3N4 were harvested for antibiotics removal, a type of environment contaminants that gained global attention because of their worldwide abuse. Compared with its undoped counterpart, Pt2+-doped g-C3N4 featured significantly improved antibiotics removal in the presence of low-power white LED irradiation, which is promising for photosensitized environmental remediation.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a hallmark of malignant tumors and often correlates with increasing tumor aggressiveness and poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, early diagnosis and effective killing of hypoxic tumor cells are crucial for successful tumor control. There has been a surge of interdisciplinary research aimed at developing functional molecules and nanomaterials that can be used to noninvasively image and efficiently treat hypoxic tumors. These mainly include hypoxia-active nanoparticles, anti-hypoxia agents, and agents that target biomarkers of tumor hypoxia. Hypoxia-active nanoparticles have been intensively investigated and have demonstrated advanced effects on targeting tumor hypoxia. In this review, we present an overview of the reports published to date on hypoxia-activated prodrugs and their nanoparticle forms used in tumor-targeted therapy. Hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles are inactive during blood circulation and normal physiological conditions but are activated by hypoxia once they extravasate into the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Their use can enhance the efficiency of tumor chemotherapy, radiotherapy, fluorescence and photoacoustic intensity, and other imaging and therapeutic strategies. By targeting the broad habitats of tumors, rather than tumor-specific receptors, this strategy has the potential to overcome the problem of tumor heterogeneity and could be used to design diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles for a broad range of solid tumors.

Abstract
Advances in supramolecular self-assembly have promoted the development of theranostics, the combination of both therapeutic and diagnostic functions in a single nanoplatform, which is closely associated with antitumor applications and has shown promising potential in personalized medicine. Peptide-modulated self-assembly serves as a versatile strategy for tumor supramolecular nanotheranostics possessing controllability, programmability, functionality and biosafety, thus promoting the translation of nanotheranostics from bench to bedside. In this review, we will focus on the self-assembly of peptide-photosensitizers and peptide-drugs as well as multicomponent cooperative self-assembly for the fabrication of nanotheranostics that integrate diagnosis and therapeutics for antitumor applications. Emphasis will be placed on building block design, interaction strategies and the potential relationships between their structures and properties, aiming to increase understanding of the critical role of peptide-modulated self-assembly in advancing antitumor supramolecular nanotheranostics.

Abstract
A series of phosphinate-containing rhodol and fluorescein dyes are disclosed. These new fluorophores increase the color palette of phosphinate-based xanthenes in the far-red spectral region. The new chemical functionality of these scaffolds is leveraged to produce a sensitive, no-wash imaging probe for cellular esterase activity. The reported phosphinate-containing dyes provide platforms for the further development of imaging probes and self-reporting delivery vehicles.

Abstract
High specificity detection and site-specific therapy are still the main challenges for theranostic anticancer prodrugs. In this work, we reported two smart activatable theranostic molecules based on a thermally activated delayed fluorescence fluorescein derivative. Nitroreductase induced by a mild hypoxia microenvironment of a solid tumor was used to activate the fluorescence and photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency by employing the intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer mechanism. A high PDT efficiency under 10% oxygen concentration was achieved, which is better than that of porphyrin (PpIX), a traditional photosensitizer. Such an excellent PDT efficiency can be attributed to lysosome disruption because the theranostic molecule can specifically enter the lysosomes of cells. Importantly, the strategy of targeting the mild hypoxic cells in the edge of tumor tissue could heal the "Achilles' heel" of traditional PDT. We believe that this theranostic molecule has a high potential to be applied in clinical investigation as a theranostic anticancer prodrug.

Water-soluble chiral tetrazine derivatives: towards the application of circularly polarized luminescence from upper-excited states to photodynamic therapy. Chem Sci 2019; 10:4163-4168.

Abstract
A new family of water-soluble chiral tetrazine derivatives 1 and 2 is reported. Spectroscopic studies reveal that the derivatives violate Kasha's rule and emit from their upper-excited states (S n , n > 1). The transition assignments are supported by time-dependent density functional theory calculations. More importantly, both chromophores exhibit anisotropy factors on the order of ∼10-3 to 10-4 for circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from upper-excited states. Additionally, the nonplanar geometry of the derivatives induces a significant yield of triplet excited states. Transient absorption spectroscopic measurements reveal high triplet quantum yields of ∼86% for 1 and ∼81% for 2. Through in vitro studies, we demonstrate that the derivatives can be used as photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents, providing a highly efficient form of cancer therapy. This study is the first demonstration of simple organic molecules with CPL from upper-excited states and efficient PDT.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen tension found in numerous solid tumours. It is typically associated with abnormal vasculature, which results in a reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients, as well as impaired delivery of drugs. The hypoxic nature of tumours often leads to the development of localized heterogeneous environments characterized by variable oxygen concentrations, relatively low pH, and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The hypoxic heterogeneity promotes tumour invasiveness, metastasis, angiogenesis, and an increase in multidrug-resistant proteins. These factors decrease the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs and can provide a barrier to advancing drug leads beyond the early stages of preclinical development. This review highlights various hypoxia-targeted and activated design strategies for the formulation of drugs or prodrugs and their mechanism of action for tumour diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Recently, diverse functional materials that take subcellular structures as therapeutic targets are playing increasingly important roles in cancer therapy. Here, particular emphasis is placed on four kinds of therapies, including chemotherapy, gene therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and hyperthermal therapy, which are the most widely used approaches for killing cancer cells by the specific destruction of subcellular organelles. Moreover, some non-drug-loaded nanoformulations (i.e., metal nanoparticles and molecular self-assemblies) with a fatal effect on cells by influencing the subcellular functions without the use of any drug molecules are also included. According to the basic principles and unique performances of each treatment, appropriate strategies are developed to meet task-specific applications by integrating specific materials, ligands, as well as methods. In addition, the combination of two or more therapies based on multifunctional nanostructures, which either directly target specific subcellular organelles or release organelle-targeted therapeutics, is also introduced with the intent of superadditive therapeutic effects. Finally, the related challenges of critical re-evaluation of this emerging field are presented.
