[PMID: 38458147 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202303842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Although being applied as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) fail the precise fluorescence imaging in vivo and phototherapy in deep-tissue, due to short excitation/emission wavelengths. Herein, this work proposes the first example of NIR-II emissive and benzobisthiadiazole-based COF-980. Comparing to its ligands, the structure of COF-980 can more efficiently reducing the energy gap (ΔES1-T1) between the excited state and the triplet state to enhance photodynamic therapy efficiency. Importantly, COF-980 demonstrates high photostability, good anti-diffusion property, superior reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency, promising imaging ability, and ROS production in deep tissue (≈8 mm). Surprisingly, COF-980 combined with laser irradiation could trigger larger amount of intracellular ROS to high efficiently induce cancer cell death. Notably, COF-980 NPs precisely enable PDT guided by NIR-II fluorescence imaging that effectively inhibit the 4T1 tumor growth with negligible adverse effects. This study provides a universal approach to developing long-wavelength emissive COFs and exploits its applications for biomedicine.

Abstract
The construction of secondary building units (SBUs) in versatile metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a promising method for developing multi-functional materials, especially for improving their sensitizing ability. Herein, we developed a dual small molecules auxiliary strategy to construct a high-nuclear transition-metal-based UiO-architecture Co16-MOF-BDC with visible-light-absorbing capacity. Remarkably, the N3 - molecule in hexadecameric cobalt azide SBU offers novel modification sites to precise bonding of strong visible-light-absorbing chromophores via click reaction. The resulting Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC exhibits extremely high performance for oxidative coupling benzylamine (~100 % yield) via both energy and electron transfer processes, which is much superior to that of Co16-MOF-BDC (31.5 %) and Carboxyl @Co16-MOF-BDC (37.5 %). Systematic investigations reveal that the advantages of Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC in dual light-absorbing channels, robust bonding between Bodipy/Co16 clusters and efficient electron-hole separation can greatly boost photosynthesis. This work provides an ideal molecular platform for synergy between photosensitizing MOFs and chromophores by constructing high-nuclear transition-metal-based SBUs with surface-modifiable small molecules.

De Novo Designed Ru(II) Metallacycle as a Microenvironment-Adaptive Sonosensitizer and Sonocatalyst for Multidrug-Resistant Biofilms Eradication. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202319966.

Abstract
Albeit sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has achieved encouraging progress in microbial sterilization, the scarcity of guidelines for designing highly effective sonosensitizers and the intricate biofilm microenvironment (BME), substantially hamper the therapeutic efficacy against biofilm infections. To address the bottlenecks, we innovatively design a Ru(II) metallacycle-based sonosensitizer/sonocatalyst (named Ru-A3-TTD) to enhance the potency of sonotherapy by employing molecular engineering strategies tailored to BME. Our approach involves augmenting Ru-A3-TTD's production of ultrasonic-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS), surpassing the performance of commercial sonosensitizers, through a straightforward but potent π-expansion approach. Within the BME, Ru-A3-TTD synergistically amplifies sonotherapeutic efficacy via triple-modulated approaches: (i) effective alleviation of hypoxia, leading to increased ROS generation, (ii) disruption of the antioxidant defense system, which shields ROS from glutathione consumption, and (iii) enhanced biofilm penetration, enabling ROS production in deep sites. Notably, Ru-A3-TTD sono-catalytically oxidizes NADPH, a critical coenzyme involved in antioxidant defenses. Consequently, Ru-A3-TTD demonstrates superior biofilm eradication potency against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli compared to conventional clinical antibiotics, both in vitro and in vivo. To our knowledge, this study represents the pioneering instance of a supramolecular sonosensitizer/sonocatalyst. It provides valuable insights into the structure-activity relationship of sonosensitizers and paves a promising pathway for the treatment of biofilm infections.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has evolved as a minimally invasive treatment modality offering precise control over cancer and various other diseases. To address inherent challenges associated with PDT, researchers have been exploring two promising avenues: the development of intelligent photosensitizers activated through light-induced energy transfers, charges, or electron transfers, and the disruption of photosensitive bonds. Moreover, there is a growing emphasis on the bioorthogonal delivery or activation of photosensitizers within tumors, enabling targeted deployment and activation of these intelligent photosensitive systems in specific tissues, thus achieving highly precise PDT. This concise review highlights advancements made over the last decade in the realm of light-activated or bioorthogonal photosensitizers, comparing their efficacy and shaping future directions in the advancement of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
We present the easy and high yield synthesis of several group 13 MesDPM compounds (Al-In) with alkyl substituents at the metal atom. All these compounds were fully characterized using techniques including X-ray diffraction analysis and photoluminescence measurements. It shows that for aluminium and gallium pronounced green fluorescence is observed, which is absent for indium. DFT calculations confirm that the first electronic transition corresponds to a ligand-based π-π* transition.

Abstract
A water-soluble 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-substituted carbon-dipyrromethene (C-DIPY) was synthesized from the previously reported carbonyl pyrrole dimer through a two-step procedure. Owing to the presence of a tetrazine moiety, the fluorescence emission of this compound was largely quenched in phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4. Upon addition of a bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yne (BCN) derivative, the tetrazine-based quenching component of the compound was disrupted through the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction to restore the fluorescence in up to 6.6-fold. This bioorthogonal activation was also demonstrated using U-87 MG human glioblastoma cells, in which the fluorescence intensity of this C-DIPY could be enhanced by 8.7-fold upon post-incubation with the BCN derivative. The results showed that this tetrazine-caged C-DIPY can serve as a bioorthogonally activatable fluorescent probe for bioimaging. The compound, however, was found to reside preferentially in the lysosomes instead of the mitochondria of the cells as predicted based on its cationic character, which could be attributed to its energy-dependent endocytic cellular uptake pathway, for which lysosomes are the end station.

Abstract
The G protein-coupled kisspeptin receptor (GPR54 or KISS1R) is an important mediator in reproduction, metabolism and cancer biology; however, there are limited fluorescent probes or antibodies for direct imaging of these receptors in cells and intact tissues, which can help to interrogate their multiple biological roles. Herein, we describe the rational design and characterization of a new acid-resistant BODIPY-based amino acid (Trp-BODIPY PLUS), and its implementation for solid-phase synthesis of fluorescent bioactive peptides. Trp-BODIPY PLUS retains the binding capabilities of both short linear and cyclic peptides and displays notable turn-on fluorescence emission upon target binding for wash-free imaging. Finally, we employed Trp-BODIPY PLUS to prepare some of the first fluorogenic kisspeptin-based probes and visualized the expression and localization of GPR54 receptors in human cells and in whole mouse pancreatic islets by fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia can seriously impede the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT). To address this issue, two approaches, termed in situ oxygen generation and oxygen delivery, were developed. The in situ oxygen generation method uses catalysts such as catalase to decompose excess H2O2 produced by tumors. It offers specificity for tumors, but its effectiveness is limited by the low H2O2 concentration often present in tumors. The oxygen delivery strategy relies on the high oxygen solubility of perfluorocarbon, etc., to transport oxygen. It is effective, but lacks tumor specificity. In an effort to integrate the merits of the two approaches, we designed a multifunctional nanoemulsion system named CCIPN and prepared it using a sonication-phase inversion composition-sonication method with orthogonal optimization. CCIPN included catalase, the methyl ester of 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO-Me), photosensitizer IR780, and perfluoropolyether. Perfluoropolyether may reserve the oxygen generated by catalase within the same nanoformulation for PDT. CCIPN contained spherical droplets below 100 nm and showed reasonable cytocompatibility. It presented a stronger ability to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species and consequently destroy tumor cells upon light irradiation, in comparison with its counterpart without catalase or perfluoropolyether. This study contributes to the design and preparation of oxygen-supplementing PDT nanomaterials.

Abstract
As a reactive hydrogen species, the hydrogen radical (H⋅) scarcely sees applications in tumor biological therapy due to the very limited bio-friendly sources of H⋅. In this work, we report that TAF can act as an organic photosensitizer as well as an efficient photocatalytic H⋅ generator with reduced glutathione (GSH) as a fuel. The photoactivation of TAF leads to cell death in two ways including triple amplification of oxidative stress via ferroptosis-apoptosis under normoxia and apoptosis through biological reductions under hypoxia. TAF presents excellent biosafety with ultrahigh photocytotoxicity index at an order of magnitude of 102 -103 on both normoxic and hypoxic cells. The in vitro data suggest that H⋅ therapy is promising to overcome the challenge of tumor hypoxia at low doses of both photocatalyst and light. In addition, the capability of near-infrared two-photon excitation would benefit broad biological applications.

Abstract
Although metallacycle-based supramolecular photosensitizers (PSs) have attracted increasing attention in biomedicine, their clinical translation is still hindered by their inherent dark toxicity. Herein, we report what to our knowledge is the first example of a molecular engineering approach to building blocks of metallacycles for constructing a series of supramolecular PSs (RuA-RuD), with the aim of simultaneously reducing dark toxicity and enhancing phototoxicity, and consequently obtaining high phototoxicity indexes (PI). Detailed in vitro investigations demonstrate that RuA-RuD display high cancer cellular uptake and remarkable antitumor activity even under hypoxic conditions. Notably, RuD exhibited no dark toxicity and displayed the highest PI value (≈406). Theoretical calculations verified that RuD has the largest steric hindrance and the lowest singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST , 0.61 eV). Further in vivo studies confirmed that RuD allows safe and effective phototherapy against A549 tumors.

Abstract
Targeted delivery and specific activation of photosensitizers can greatly improve the treatment outcome of photodynamic therapy. To this end, we report herein a novel dual receptor-mediated bioorthogonal activation approach to enhance the tumor specificity of the photodynamic action. It involves the targeted delivery of a biotinylated boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based photosensitizer, which is quenched in the native form by the attached 1,2,4,5-tetrazine unit, and an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting cyclic peptide conjugated with a bicycle[6.1.0]non-4-yne moiety. Only for cancer cells that overexpress both the biotin receptor and EGFR, the two components can be internalized preferentially where they undergo an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction, leading to restoration of the photodynamic activity of the BODIPY core. By using a range of cell lines with different expression levels of these two receptors, we have demonstrated that this stepwise "deliver-and-click" approach can confine the photodynamic action on a specific type of cancer cells.

Abstract
We report herein a versatile and efficient bioorthogonal strategy to actualise targeted delivery and site-specific activation of photosensitisers for precise antitumoural photodynamic therapy. The strategy involved the use of an isonitrile-caged distyryl boron dipyrromethene-based photosensitiser, labelled as NC-DSBDP, of which the photoactivities could be specifically activated upon conversion of the meso ester substituent to carboxylate initiated by the [4 + 1] cycloaddition with a tetrazine derivative. By using two tetrazines conjugated with a galactose moiety or the GE11 peptide, labelled as gal-Tz and GE11-Tz, we could selectively label the cancer cells overexpressed with the asialoglycoprotein receptor and the epidermal growth factor receptor respectively. Upon encountering the internalised NC-DSBDP, these tetrazines triggered the "ester-to-carboxylate" transformation of this compound, activating its fluorescence and reactive oxygen species generation inside the target cells. The bioorthogonal activation was also demonstrated in vivo, leading to effective photo-eradication of the tumour in nude mice.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising noninvasive treatment that has drawn great attention. However, the hypoxic environment in tumors seriously limits the therapeutic effect of oxygen-dependent chemicals and PDT. Herein, a versatile nanocomposite DF-BODIPY@ZIF-8 with oxygen-generating ability was developed based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) by loading the near-infrared photosensitizer DF-BODIPY to overcome hypoxia-induced drug resistance in cancer therapy. ZIF-8 can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in tumors and increase the dissolved oxygen concentration, resulting in a significant improvement in PDT efficacy. Additionally, we found that enhancing the electronegativity of substituents can effectively reduce the energy level difference (ΔEst) between the minimum singlet state (S1) and the lowest triplet state (T1), leading to the enhancement of the singlet oxygen quantum yield. In vitro experiments suggested that DF-BODIPY@ZIF-8 indeed had a higher singlet oxygen quantum yield and better tumor cell phototoxicity than free DF-BODIPY. In vivo experiments also demonstrated that DF-BODIPY@ZIF-8 could effectively eliminate 4T1 tumors under light irradiation. Thus, we conclude that increasing the electronegativity of substituents and introducing a ZIF-8 material can effectively improve the singlet oxygen quantum yield and overcome the hypoxia limitations for high-efficiency PDT.

Abstract
AbstractPilzinfektionen, die durch Candida‐Arten verursacht werden, gehören zu den häufigsten Infektionen bei Krankenhauspatienten. Die derzeitigen Methoden zum Nachweis von Candida‐Pilzzellen in klinischen Proben beruhen jedoch auf zeitaufwändigen Analysen, die eine schnelle und zuverlässige Diagnose erschweren. In diesem Beitrag beschreiben wir die rationale Entwicklung neuer Phe‐BODIPY‐Aminosäuren als kleine fluorogene Bausteine und ihre Anwendung zur Erzeugung fluoreszierender antimikrobieller Peptide für die schnelle Markierung von Candida‐Zellen im Urin. Mit Hilfe von computergestützten Berechnungen haben wir das fluorogene Verhalten von BODIPY‐substituierten aromatischen Aminosäuren analysiert und Bioaktivitäts‐ und konfokale Mikroskopieexperimente bei verschiedenen Stämmen durchgeführt, um den Nutzen und die Vielseitigkeit von Peptiden mit Phe‐BODIPYs zu bestätigen. Schließlich haben wir einen einfachen und sensitiven fluoreszensbasierten Test zum Nachweis von Candida albicans in menschlichen Urinproben entwickelt.

Abstract
Fungal infections caused by Candida species are among the most prevalent in hospitalized patients. However, current methods for the detection of Candida fungal cells in clinical samples rely on time‐consuming assays that hamper rapid and reliable diagnosis. Herein, we describe the rational development of new Phe‐BODIPY amino acids as small fluorogenic building blocks and their application to generate fluorescent antimicrobial peptides for rapid labelling of Candida cells in urine. We have used computational methods to analyse the fluorogenic behaviour of BODIPY‐substituted aromatic amino acids and performed bioactivity and confocal microscopy experiments in different strains to confirm the utility and versatility of peptides incorporating Phe‐BODIPYs. Finally, we have designed a simple and sensitive fluorescence‐based assay for the detection of Candida albicans in human urine samples.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The pretargeting strategy has recently emerged in order to overcome the limitations of direct targeting, mainly in the field of radioimmunotherapy (RIT). This strategy is directly dependent on chemical reactions, namely bioorthogonal reactions, which have been developed for their ability to occur under physiological conditions. The Staudinger ligation, the copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and the strain-promoted [3 + 2] azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) were the first bioorthogonal reactions introduced in the literature. However, due to their incomplete biocompatibility and slow kinetics, the inverse-electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction was advanced in 2008 by Blackman et al. as an optimal bioorthogonal reaction. The IEDDA is the fastest bioorthogonal reaction known so far. Its biocompatibility and ideal kinetics are very appealing for pretargeting applications. The use of a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and a tetrazine (Tz) in the reaction encouraged researchers to study them deeply. It was found that both reagents are sensitive to acidic or basic conditions. Furthermore, TCO is photosensitive and can be isomerized to its cis-conformation via a radical catalyzed reaction. Unfortunately, the cis-conformer is significantly less reactive toward tetrazine than the trans-conformation. Therefore, extensive research has been carried out to optimize both click reagents and to employ the IEDDA bioorthogonal reaction in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Preparation of near-infrared (NIR) emissive fluorophore for imaging-guided PDT (photodynamic therapy) has attracted enormous attention. Hence, NIR photosensitizers of two-photon (TP) fluorescent imaging and photodynamic therapy are highly desirable. In this contribution, a novel D-π-A structured NIR photosensitizer (TTRE) is synthesized. TTRE demonstrates near-infrared (NIR) emission, good biocompatibility, and superior photostability, which can act as TP fluorescent agent for clear visualization of cells and vascular in tissue with deep-tissue penetration. The PDT efficacy of TTRE as photosensitizer is exploited in vitro and in vivo. All these results confirm that TTRE would serve as potential platform for TP fluorescence imaging and imaging-guided photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
![]()
Over the past decade,
porphyrin derivatives have emerged as invaluable
synthetic building blocks and theranostic kits for the delivery of
cellular fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy. Tetraphenylporphyrin
(TPP), its metal complexes, and related derivatives have been investigated
for their use as dyes in histology and as components of multimodal
imaging probes. The photophysical properties of porphyrin–metal
complexes featuring radiometals have been a focus of our attention
for the realization of fluorescence imaging probes coupled with radioimaging
capabilities and therapeutic potential having “true”
theranostic promise. We report hereby on the synthesis, radiochemistry,
structural investigations, and preliminary in vitro and in vivo uptake studies on a range of functionalized
porphyrin-based derivatives. In pursuit of developing new porphyrin-based
probes for multimodality imaging applications, we report new functionalized
neutral, polycationic, and polyanionic porphyrins incorporating nitroimidazole
and sulfonamide moieties, which were used as targeting groups to improve
the notoriously poor pharmacokinetics of porphyrin tags. The resulting
functional metalloporphyrin species were stable under serum challenges
and the nitroimidazole and sulfonamide derivatives remained fluorescent,
allowing in vitro confocal studies and visualization
of the lysosomal uptake in a gallium(III) sulfonamide derivative.
The molecular structures of selected porphyrin derivatives were determined
by single crystal X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. We
also investigated the nature of the emission/excitation behavior of
model functional porphyrins using in silico approaches
such as TD DFT in simple solvation models. The conjugation of porphyrins
with the [7-13] and [7-14] fragments of bombesin was also achieved,
to provide targeting of the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR).
Depending on the metal, probe conjugates of relevance for single photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography
(PET) probes have been designed and tested hereby, using TPP and related
functional free base porphyrins as the bifunctional chelator synthetic
scaffold and 111In[In] or 68Ga[Ga], respectively,
as the central metal ions. Interestingly, for simple porphyrin conjugates
good radiochemical incorporation was obtained for both radiometals,
but the presence of peptides significantly diminished the radio-incorporation
yields. Although the gallium-68 radiochemistry of the bombesin conjugates
did not show radiochemical incorporation suitable for in vivo studies, likely because the presence of the peptide changed the
behavior of the TPP-NH2 synthon taken alone, the optical
imaging assays indicated that the conjugated peptide tags do mediate
uptake of the porphyrin units into cells.
