Abstract
Glutathione (GSH)-responsive nanomedicines have generated significant interest in biochemistry, oncology, and material sciences due to their diverse applications, including chemical and biological sensors, diagnostics, and drug delivery systems. The effectiveness of these smart GSH-responsive nanomedicines depends critically on the choice of GSH-responsive linkers. Despite their crucial role, comprehensive reviews of GSH-responsive linkers are scarce, revealing a gap in the current literature. This review addresses this gap by systematically summarizing various GSH-responsive linkers and exploring their potential applications in cancer treatment. We provide an overview of the mechanisms of action of these linkers and their bioapplications, evaluating their advantages and limitations. The insights presented aim to guide the development of advanced GSH-responsive agents for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Despite the advent of various medical interventions for cancer treatment, the disease continues to pose a formidable global health challenge, necessitating the development of new therapeutic approaches for more effective treatment outcomes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which utilizes light to activate a photosensitizer to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for eradicating cancer cells, has emerged as a promising approach for cancer treatment due to its high spatiotemporal precision and minimal invasiveness. However, the widespread clinical use of PDT faces several challenges, including the inefficient production of ROS in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, the limited penetration depth of light in biological tissues, and the inadequate accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site. Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the utilization of photofunctional transition metal complexes as photosensitizers for PDT applications due to their intriguing photophysical and photochemical properties. This review provides an overview of the current design strategies used in the development of transition metal complexes as innovative phototherapeutics, aiming to address the limitations associated with PDT and achieve more effective treatment outcomes. The current challenges and future perspectives on the clinical translation of transition metal complexes are also discussed.

Abstract
Over the last decades, a variety of metal complexes have been developed as chemotherapeutic agents. Despite the promising therapeutic prospects, the vast majority of these compounds suffer from low solubility, poor pharmacological properties, and most importantly poor tumor accumulation. To circumvent these limitations, herein, the incorporation of cytotoxic Ir(III) complexes and a variety of photosensitizers into polymeric gemini nanoparticles that selectively accumulate in the tumorous tissue and could be activated by near-infrared (NIR) light to exert an anticancer effect is reported. Upon exposure to light, the photosensitizer is able to generate singlet oxygen, triggering the rapid dissociation of the nanostructure and the activation of the Ir prodrug, thereby initiating a cascade of mitochondrial targeting and damage that ultimately leads to cell apoptosis. While selectively accumulating into tumorous tissue, the nanoparticles achieve almost complete eradication of the cisplatin-resistant cervical carcinoma tumor in vivo upon exposure to NIR irradiation.

Abstract
Luminescence imaging is a powerful and versatile technique for investigating cell physiology and pathology in living systems, making significant contributions to life science research and clinical diagnosis. In recent years, luminescent transition metal complexes have gained significant attention for diagnostic and therapeutic applications due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent development of luminescent transition metal complexes for bioimaging and biosensing applications, with a focus on transition metal centers with a d6, d8, and d10 electronic configuration. We elucidate the structure-property relationships of luminescent transition metal complexes, exploring how their structural characteristics can be manipulated to control their biological behavior such as cellular uptake, localization, biocompatibility, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution. Furthermore, we introduce the various design strategies that leverage the interesting photophysical properties of luminescent transition metal complexes for a wide variety of biological applications, including autofluorescence-free imaging, multimodal imaging, organelle imaging, biological sensing, microenvironment monitoring, bioorthogonal labeling, bacterial imaging, and cell viability assessment. Finally, we provide insights into the challenges and perspectives of luminescent transition metal complexes for bioimaging and biosensing applications, as well as their use in disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

Abstract
The ability to gain spatiotemporal information, and in some cases achieve spatiotemporal control, in the context of drug delivery makes theranostic fluorescent probes an attractive and intensely investigated research topic. This interest is reflected in the steep rise in publications on the topic that have appeared over the past decade. Theranostic fluorescent probes, in their various incarnations, generally comprise a fluorophore linked to a masked drug, in which the drug is released as the result of certain stimuli, with both intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli being reported. This release is then signaled by the emergence of a fluorescent signal. Importantly, the use of appropriate fluorophores has enabled not only this emerging fluorescence as a spatiotemporal marker for drug delivery but also has provided modalities useful in photodynamic, photothermal, and sonodynamic therapeutic applications. In this review we highlight recent work on theranostic fluorescent probes with a particular focus on probes that are activated in tumor microenvironments. We also summarize efforts to develop probes for other applications, such as neurodegenerative diseases and antibacterials. This review celebrates the diversity of designs reported to date, from discrete small-molecule systems to nanomaterials. Our aim is to provide insights into the potential clinical impact of this still-emerging research direction.

A glycyrrhetinic acid-iridium(III) conjugate as a theranostic NIR probe for hepatocellular carcinoma with mitochondrial-targeting ability. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 264:115995.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major contributor to global mortality rates, but current treatment options have limitations. Advanced theranostics are needed to effectively integrate diagnosis and therapeutic of HCC. Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) has abundant binding sites with glycyrrhetinic acid receptors (GA-Rs) on the surface of HCC cells and has also been reported to possess ligands with mitochondrial-targeting capability but with limited efficacy. Herein, we report a near-infrared (NIR) luminescent theranostic complex 1 through conjugating an iridium(III) complex to GA, which exhibits the desired photophysical properties and promotes mitochondrial-targeting capability. Complex 1 was selectively taken up by HepG2 liver cancer cells and was imaged within mitochondria with NIR emission. Complex 1 targeted mitochondria and opened mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTPs), resulting in ROS accumulation, mitochondrial damage, disruption of Bax/Bcl-2 equilibrium, and tumor cell apoptosis, resulting in significantly improved anticancer activity compared to GA. This work offers a methodology for developing multifunctional theranostic probes with amplified specificity and efficacy.

Abstract
Organelle-targeted photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are considered as an effective therapeutic strategy for the development of next generation PSs with the least side effects and high therapeutic efficacy. However, multiorganelle targeted PSs eliciting PDT via both type I and type II mechanisms are scarce. Herein, a series of cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes were formulated [Ir(C∧N)2(S∧S)] (C∧N = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)pyridine (thpy); S∧S = diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC), morpholine-N-dithiocarbamate (MORDTC) and methoxycarbonodithioate (MEDTC)) and the newly designed complexes Ir2@DEDTC and Ir1@MEDTC were characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Complexes containing thpy as C∧N ligand exhibit excellent photophysical properties such as red-shifted emission, high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ϕΔ) and longer photoluminescence lifetime when compared with complexes containing ppy ligands. Ir2@DEDTC exhibits the highest ϕΔ and photoluminescence lifetimes among the synthesized complexes. Therefore, Ir2@DEDTC was chosen to evaluate the photosensitizing ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Upon blue light irradiation (456 nm), it efficiently produces ROS, i.e., hydroxy radical (•OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2), which was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In vitro photocytotoxicity toward HCT116, HeLa, and PC3 cell lines showed that out of all the synthesized complexes, Ir2@DEDTC has the highest photocytotoxic index (PI > 400) value. Ir2@DEDTC is efficiently taken up by the HCT116 cell line and accumulated mainly in the lysosome and mitochondria of the cells, and after PDT treatment, it elicits cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, and DNA fragmentation. The phototherapeutic efficacy of Ir2@DEDTC has been investigated against 3D spheroids considering its ability to mimic some of the basic features of solid tumors. The morphology was drastically altered in the Ir2@DEDTC treated 3D spheroid after the light irradiation unleashed the potential of the Ir(III) dithiocarbamate complex as a superior PS for PDT. Hence, mitochondria and lysosome targeted photoactive cyclometalated Ir(III) dithiocarbamate complex exerting oxidative stress via both type I and type II PDT can be regarded as a dual-organelle targeted two-pronged approach for enhanced PDT.

Abstract
GSH is one of the most important reducing agents in biological systems. The depletion of GSH in the human body is linked to many diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to develop suitable and efficient probes for detecting GSH concentrations in real samples. In this work, we designed and synthesized two near-infrared emitting iridium(III) complex probes containing a novel ligand functionalized with an α,β-unsaturated ketone for the rapid and sensitive detection of GSH. The molecular structure of Ir2 was determined by X-ray crystallography. Due to their large Stokes shift, long luminescence lifetime and NIR emission, these probes were successfully applied in the imaging of GSH in living cells. In addition, two iridium(III) complexes have strong singlet oxygen generation ability which can be used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) upon visible light irradiation. On the basis of these findings, our iridium(III) complexes may serve as GSH probes for HeLa cell imaging and as photosensitizers for PDT.

Abstract
The multivalent presentation of glycans leads to enhanced binding avidity to lectins due to the cluster glycoside effect. Most materials used as scaffolds for multivalent glycan arrays, such as polymers or nanoparticles, have intrinsic dispersity: meaning that in any sample, a range of valencies are presented and it is not possible to determine which fraction(s) are responsible for binding. The intrinsic dispersity of many multivalent glycan scaffolds also limits their reproducibility and predictability. Here we make use of the structurally programmable nature of self-assembled metal coordination cages, with polyhedral metal-ion cores supporting ligand arrays of predictable sizes, to assemble a 16-membered library of perfectly monodisperse glycoclusters displaying valencies from 2 to 24 through a careful choice of ligand/metal combinations. Mono- and trisaccharides are introduced into these clusters, showing that the synthetic route is tolerant of biologically relevant glycans, including sialic acids. The cluster series demonstrates increased binding to a range of lectins as the number of glycans increases. This strategy offers an alternative to current glycomaterials for control of the valency of three-dimensional (3-D) glycan arrays, and may find application across sensing, imaging, and basic biology.

Abstract
Enzymes, as a kind of biomacromolecules, play an important role in many physiological processes and relate directly to various diseases. Developing an efficient detection method for enzyme activity is important to achieve early diagnosis of enzyme-relevant diseases and high throughput screening of potential enzyme-relevant drugs. Time-resolved luminescence assay provide a high accuracy and signal-to-noise ratios detection methods for enzyme activity, which has been widely used in high throughput screening of enzyme-relevant drugs and diagnosis of enzyme-relevant diseases. Inspired by these advantages, various responsive probes based on metal complexes and metal-free organic compounds have been developed for time-resolved bioimaging and biosensing of enzyme activity owing to their long luminescence lifetimes, high quantum yields and photostability. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed metal complex- and metal-free organic compound-based responsive probes applied to detect enzyme activity through time-resolved imaging, including their design strategies and sensing principles. Current challenges and future prospects in this rapidly growing field are also discussed.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 268:120690. [PMID: 34894566 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2021.120690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Aggregation-induced phosphorescence emission (AIPE) materials based on transition metal Ir(III) complexes have significant advantages in bioimaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to the long lifetime, the reduced photobleaching and the good reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Herein, four cationic Ir(III) complexes (Ir1-Ir4) have been synthesized and studied. Tunable phosphorescence from green to red with the excellent properties of AIPE and long lifetimes can be achieved by varying the substituents. Moreover, these phosphorescence Ir(III) complexes exhibited dual-mode PDT potential (type I and type II). Complex Ir4 showed great prospect in bioimaging and PDT with the large Stokes shift (259 nm), the long lifetime (9.85 μs) and the high ROS yield (0.73). Confocal microscopy demonstrated that Ir4 accumulated in the mitochondria selectively and possessed remarkable photostability (reduced photobleaching up to 600 s). The results indicate that Ir4 may be used in dual-mode PDT guided by mitochondria-targeted imaging. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the relationship between structure and photophysical properties and facilitates the study in PDT applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved and promising treatment approach that utilizes a photosensitizer (PS) to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) through irradiation to achieve tumor noninvasive therapy. However, the limited singlet oxygen generation, the nonspecific uptake of PS in normal cells, and tumor hypoxia have become major challenges in conventional PDT, impeding its development and further clinical application. This review summarizes an overview of recent advances for the enhanced PDT. The development of PDT with innovative strategies, including molecular engineering and heavy atom-free photosensitizers is presented and future directions in this promising field are also provided. This review aims to highlight the recent advances in PDT and discuss the potential strategies that show promise in overcoming the challenges of PDT.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a serious threat to people's health worldwide. Artesunate (ART), one of the classical antimalarial drugs, has recently been shown to exert significant cytotoxicity in various cancers, but its bioavailability is low. Cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes have emerged as a promising class of anticancer therapeutic agents. Herein, through conjugation of two of them, three novel Ir(iii)-ART conjugates, [Ir(C-N)2(bpy-ART)](PF6) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, C-N = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy, Ir-ART-1), 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine (thpy, Ir-ART-2), and 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine (dfppy, Ir-ART-3)) have been synthesized, and their potential as anti-HCC agents was evaluated. We demonstrate that Ir-ART-1-3 display higher cytotoxicity against HCC cell lines than normal liver cells, and they can especially locate to mitochondria of HepG2 cells and induce a series of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis events. Moreover, Ir-ART-1-3 can regulate the cell cycle and inhibit metastasis of HepG2 cells. Finally, in vivo antitumor evaluation also demonstrates the inhibitory activity of Ir-ART-1 on tumor growth. Taken together, these Ir(iii)-ART conjugates have the potential to become drug candidates for future anti-HCC treatments.
