Abstract
The development of efficient theranostic nanoagents for the precise diagnosis and targeted therapy of glioblastoma (GBM) remains a big challenge. Herein, we designed and developed porphyrin-based organic nanoparticles (PNP NPs) with strong emission in the near-infrared IIa window (NIR-IIa) for orthotopic GBM theranostics. PNP NPs possess favorable photoacoustic and photothermal properties, high photostability, and low toxicity. After modification with the RGD peptide, the obtained PNPD NPs exhibited enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration capability and GBM targeting ability. NIR-IIa imaging was employed to monitor the in vivo biodistribution and accumulation of the nanoparticles, revealing a significant enhancement in penetration depth and signal-to-noise ratio. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that PNPD NPs effectively inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells and induced negligible side effects in normal brain tissues. In general, the work presented a kind of brain-targeted porphyrin-based NPs with NIR-IIa fluorescence for orthotopic glioblastoma theranostics, showing promising prospects for clinical translation.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 241:113985. [PMID: 38838443 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging non-invasive cancer treatment modality. Light-responsive porphysomes (DPP IR Mtx @Lipo NPs) nanosystems ablate breast cancer cells upon oxidative stress and hyperthermia. The unique self-assembled porphysomes were formed spherical shape in the size range of 150 ± 30 nm formed by the co-assembly of porphyrins along with IR 775 and chemotherapeutic drug, Mitoxantrone (Mtx), forming a camouflaged nanosystem (DPP IR Mtx @Lipo NPs, porphysomes). The advent of the prepared porphysomes aids in proper tuning of NIR absorbance improving singlet oxygen species generation among other anticancer drugs. The eminent release of DPP and adjuvant chemo-drug, Mitoxantrone from the self-assembled porphysomes is triggered by IR 775, a NIR photosensitizer upon laser irradiation. These multifunctional DPP IR Mtx @Lipo NPs have an efficient photothermal conversion efficiency of 65.8% as well as bioimaging properties. In-vitro studies in 2D and 3D models showed a significant cell death of 4T1 cells via the apoptotic pathway when irradiated with NIR laser, causing minimal damage to nearby healthy cells. DPP IR Mtx @Lipo NPs exhibited commingled PDT/PTT interdependent via NIR laser exposure, leading to mitochondrial disruption. Interestingly, the transient transfection using p53-GFP in cancer cells followed by DPP IR Mtx @Lipo NPs treatment causes rapid cell death. The activation of p53-dependent apoptosis pathways was vividly expressed, evidenced by the upregulation of Bax and increased pattern of Caspase-3 cleavage. This effect was pronounced upon transfection and induction with DPP IR Mtx @Lipo NPs, particularly in comparison to non-transfected malignant breast cancer 4T1 cells.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related death in men, and most PCa patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy will progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) due to the lack of efficient treatment. Recently, lots of research indicated that photothermal therapy (PTT) was a promising alternative that provided an accurate and efficient prostate cancer therapy. A photothermic agent (PTA) is a basic component of PPT and is divided into organic and inorganic PTAs. Besides, the combination of PTT and other therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), immunotherapy (IT), chemotherapy (CT), etc., provides an more efficient strategy for PCa therapy. Here, we introduce basic information about PTT and summarize the PTT treatment strategies for prostate cancer. Based on recent works, we think the combination of PPT and other therapies provides a novel possibility for PCa, especially CRPC clinical treatment.

Abstract
A new push-pull aza-BODIPY (AZB-CF3) derivative comprised of dimethylamino groups and trifluoromethyl moieties was successfully synthesized. This derivative exhibited broad absorption in the near-infrared region in the range from 798 to 832 nm. It also exhibited significant near-infrared (NIR) signals in low-polar solvents with emission peaks around 835-940 nm, while non-fluorescence in high-polar environments due to the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) phenomenon. The nanoprecipitation of this compound with phospholipid-based polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG) yielded AZB-CF3@DSPE-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) with a hydrodynamic size of 70 nm. The NPs exhibited good photostability, colloidal stability, biocompatibility, and excellent photothermal (PTT) competence with a conversion efficiency (η) of 44.9%. These NPs were evaluated in vitro and in ovo in a 4T1 breast cancer cell line for NIR light-trigger photothermal therapy. Proven in the chicken egg tumor model, AZB-CF3@DSPE-PEG NPs induced severe vascular damage (∼40% vascular destruction), showed great anticancer efficacy (∼75% tumor growth inhibition), and effectively inhibited distant metastasis via photothermal treatment. As such, this PTT-based nanocarrier system could be a potential candidate for a clinical cancer therapy approach.

Abstract
Nowadays, it is still quite difficult to combat glioblastoma, which is one of the most lethal cancers for human beings. Combinatory therapy, which could not only improve therapeutic efficacy and overcome multiple drug resistance but also decrease the threshold therapeutic drug dosage and minimize side effects, would be an appealing candidate for glioblastoma treatment. Herein, we report fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II)-guided combinatory photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy of glioblastoma with a newly formulated nanomedicine termed PATSL. It is composed of temperature-sensitive liposome (TSL) carriers, NIR-II emissive and photothermal aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dyes, and chemotherapeutic paclitaxel (PTX) as well. PATSL shows spherical morphology with diameters of approximately 55 and 85 nm by transmission electron microscopy and laser light scattering, respectively, a zeta potential of -14.83 mV, good stability in both size and photoactivity, strong light absorption with a peak of approximately 770 nm, and bright emission from 900 nm to 1,200 nm. After excitation with an 808-nm laser with good spatiotemporal controllability, PATSL emits bright NIR-II fluorescence signals for tumor diagnosis in vivo, exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency (68.8%), and triggers drug release of PTX under hypothermia, which assists in efficient tumor ablation in vitro and in vivo. This research demonstrates that "all-in-one" theranostics with NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided combinatory PTT and chemotherapy is an efficient treatment paradigm for improving the prognosis of brain cancers.

Abstract
The greatest barrier to the further development and clinical application of tumor image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT), is the inconsistency between the fluorescence intensity and singlet oxygen generation yield of the photosensitizer under light excitation. Herein, a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) system is designed from the point of molecular selection by wrapping a classical porphyrin molecule (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylphorphyrin, H2 TPP) as an acceptor into conjugated polymer (Poly[N,N'-bis(4-butylpheny)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine], ADS254BE) as a donor through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, which exhibits bright red emission centered at 650 nm (quantum yield, 0.12), relatively large Stoke shift of 276 nm, enhanced singlet oxygen generation rate of 0.73, and excellent photostability. The investigations on distribution and killing effect of nanomaterials in cancer cells reveal that ADS254BE/H2 TPP NPs can accumulate in the cytoplasm for imaging while simultaneously producing a large amount of singlet oxygen to remarkably kill cancer cells, which can be used for real-time image-guided PDT. In the xenograft tumor model, real-time imaging and long-term tracing in tumor tissue with ADS254BE/H2 TPP NPs disclose that the growth of lung cancer in mice can be effectively inhibited during in situ imaging. From the standpoint of molecular engineering design, this work provides a feasible strategy for novel D-A systems to improve the development of image-guided PDT.

Abstract
Open-shell radicals are promising near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agents (PTAs) owing to their easily accessible narrow band gaps, but their stabilization and functionalization remain challenging. Herein, highly stable π-extended nickel corrole radicals with [4n+1] π systems are synthesized and used to prepare NIR-absorbing PTAs for efficient phototheranostics. The light-harvesting ability of corrole radicals gradually improves as the number of fused benzene rings on β-pyrrolic locations increases radially, with naphthalene- and anthracene-fused radicals and their one-electron oxidized [4n] π cations exhibiting panchromatic visible-to-NIR absorption. The extremely low doublet excited states of corrole radicals promote heat generation via nonradiative decay. By encapsulating naphthocorrole radicals with amphiphilic polymer, water-soluble nanoparticles Na-NPs are produced, which exhibit outstanding photostability and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 71.8 %. In vivo anti-tumor therapy results indicate that Na-NPs enable photoacoustic imaging of tumors and act as biocompatible PTAs for tumor ablation when triggered by 808 nm laser light. The "aromatic-ring fusion" strategy for energy-gap tuning of corrole radicals opens a new platform for developing robust NIR-absorbing photothermal materials.

Isoindigo-Based Dual-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers Incorporated Conjugation Length and Intramolecular Charge Transfer for High-Efficient Photothermal Conversion.

[PMID: 37465937 DOI: 10.1002/marc.202300244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
Photothermal tumor therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PA) have emerged as promising noninvasive diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. However, the development of efficient PTT agents with high photostability and strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption remains challenging. This study synthesizes three isoindigo-based dual-acceptor conjugated polymers (CPs) (P-IIG-TPD, P-IIG-DPP, and P-IIG-EDOT-BT) via a green and nontoxic direct arylation polymerization (DArP) method and characterizes their optical, electrochemical, and NIR photothermal conversion properties. By incorporating two acceptors into the backbone, the resulting polymers exhibit enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) due to improved synergy among conjugation length, planarity, and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The nanoparticles (NPs) of P-IIG-EDOT-BT and P-IIG-DPP have a uniform size distribution around 140 nm and exhibit remarkable NIR absorption at 808 nm. In addition, P-IIG-EDOT-BT and P-IIG-DPP NPs exhibit high PCEs of 62% and 78%, respectively. This study promotes the molecular design of CPs as NIR photothermal conversion materials and provides guidance for the development of novel dual-acceptor CPs for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have attracted much attention in the fields of chemistry, medicine, life science, and material science. Researchers have carried out a series of innovative researches and have made significant research progress regarding the unique photochemical and photophysical properties of CPs, expanding the application range of polymers. CPs are polymers formed by the conjugation of multiple repeating light-emitting units. Through precise control of their structure, functional molecules with different properties can be obtained. Fluorescence probes with different absorption and emission wavelengths can be obtained by changing the main chain structure. By modifying the side chain structure with water-soluble groups or selective recognition molecules, electrostatic interaction or specific binding with specific targets can be achieved; subsequently, the purpose of selective recognition can be achieved. This article reviews the research work of CPs in cell imaging, tumor diagnosis, and treatment in recent years, summarizes the latest progress in the application of CPs in imaging, tumor diagnosis, and treatment, and discusses the future development direction of CPs in cell imaging, tumor diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
Cancer thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia therapy, has long been exploited to eradicate mass lesions that are now defined as cancer. With the development of corresponding technologies and equipment, local hyperthermia therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and high-intensity focused ultrasound, have has been validated to effectively ablate tumors in modern clinical practice. However, they still face many shortcomings, including nonspecific damages to adjacent normal tissues and incomplete ablation particularly for large tumors, restricting their wide clinical usage. Attributed to their versatile physiochemical properties, biomaterials have been specially designed to potentiate local hyperthermia treatments according to their unique working principles. Meanwhile, biomaterial-based delivery systems are able to bridge hyperthermia therapies with other types of treatment strategies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, in this review, we discuss recent progress in the development of functional biomaterials to reinforce local hyperthermia by functioning as thermal sensitizers to endow more efficient tumor-localized thermal ablation and/or as delivery vehicles to synergize with other therapeutic modalities for combined cancer treatments. Thereafter, we provide a critical perspective on the further development of biomaterial-assisted local hyperthermia toward clinical applications.

Abstract
Phototherapeutic agents with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, strong reactive oxygen species generation and photothermal conversion capabilities are highly desirable for use in cancer therapy. Herein, a water-soluble NIR croconaine dye (TCR) with a thiophene-croconaine rigid core and two symmetric alkyl chains was designed and synthesized. TCR exhibits intense NIR absorption and fluorescence that peaked at 780 and 815 nm, respectively, with a high molar extinction coefficient of 1.19 × 105 M-1 cm-1. Moreover, TCR has a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 77% and is capable of generating hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) under 735 nm laser irradiation. Based on these outstanding properties, TCR has proven its application in NIR fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy of cancer.

Abstract
The development of new diagnostic imaging and precise treatment methods for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is significant to improve patients' quality of life and prolong their survival time. Herein, we proposed a photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided GBM high-efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) based on a second near-infrared (NIR-II) absorptive polymer (PDTP-TBZ) conjugated with intense electron donor dithienopyrrole (DTP) and strong electron acceptor thiadiazolobenzotriazole (TBZ). By nanoprecipitation, PDTP-TBZ can form into nanoparticles (PT NPs), and c(RGDfK) cyclic peptide with integrin-specific targeting was then modified on the surface of PT NPs to obtain the ability of active targeting GBM multifunctional nano-reagent (cRGD@PT NPs). Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that cRGD@PT NPs as NIR-II GBM phototheranostic reagents can greatly improve the enrichment rate at tumor sites under PAI monitoring, and carry out precise NIR-II PTT with high effective tumor cell phototoxicity and high biological safety. Thus, cRGD@PT NPs have great potential for the future GBM phototheranostic application in clinic. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, we successfully constructed an intense electron donor dithienopyrrole (DTP) with a strong electron acceptor thiadiazolobenzotriazole (TBZ) into a novel NIR-II optical absorptive conjugated polymer (PDTP-TBZ). Then, the c(RGDfK) cyclic peptide was modified on the surface of PT NPs to obtain multifunctional nanodiagnostic reagents (cRGD@PT NPs) that can effectively target GBM neovascularization and tumor cells. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that cRGD@PT NPs possess high photothermal conversion efficiency and practical photoacoustic imaging capability under 1064 nm laser irradiation. The results of this work suggested that cRGD@PT NPs have great potential in efficient NIR-II PTT guided by accurate PAI, which provide a good perspective for the treatment and diagnosis of GBM.

Abstract
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a promising approach to combat the increasing global multi-drug resistance crisis. However, the very short half-life of 1O2 and the inevitable photobleaching of photosensitizer (PS) are the inherent drawbacks that largely compromise its therapeutic efficiency. Here, we report a ROS conversion strategy that simultaneously addresses these issues. Based on a photodynamic model system where riboflavin (RF) served as the PS, we have clearly shown that about 93.2% of 1O2 could be converted to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of tertiary amine. The less reactivity of H2O2 (v.s.1O2) could retard the photobleaching of riboflavin by 88.9%. Orders of magnitude extended half-life of ROS (H2O2v.s.1O2) and retarded photobleaching of RF synergistically provide a more persistent oxidization that increased the oxidation capacity of the photodynamic model system by 56.6%. Consequently, it is able to improve the therapeutic efficiencies from 89.6% to 99.1% in combating methicillinresistant S. aureus (MRSA) and from 64.0% to 92.0% in eradicating S. aureus biofilm on biomaterials within a 5-min simulated sunlight illumination. The reinforced photodynamic model system could also significantly accelerate the healing & maturing of MRSA infected skin wound as compared to that of clinically used vancomycin. The generality of "ROS conversion" among different amines and different photosensitizers have been verified. These findings may inspire many creative approaches to increase the antibacterial efficiency of current photodynamic treatments for diverse applications.

Abstract
Photothermally triggered shape memory polymer materials are usually prepared by dispersing photothermally responsive fillers or compounds into shape memory polymer matrixes through physical blending, while the migration and non-biodegradability of the fillers limit their potential applications (e.g., in the biomedical field). Here, we synthesized a new type of porphyrin-based amphiphilic random copolymer bearing a reactive moiety of carbonyl group by co-polymerizing methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), diacetone acrylamide (DAAM), acrylic acid (AA) and double-bonded vinyl porphyrin monomers, followed by induced self-assembly in aqueous solution to give rise to amphiphilic random copolymer nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were further crosslinked by means of adipic dihydrazide (ADH) to fabricate the photothermally triggered one-component shape memory polymer material. Compared with the most-studied multi-phase/multi-component shape memory polymer materials, the porphyrin moiety, playing the role of a photo-to-heat converter, covalently bonded into the polymer structure would certainly make it more homogeneous and more stable in principle.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, is an emerging form of non-invasive treatment. The combination of imaging technology and phototherapy is becoming an attractive development in the treatment of cancer, as it allows for highly effective therapeutic results through image-guided phototherapy. Porphyrins have attracted significant interest in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer due to their excellent phototherapeutic effects in phototherapy and their remarkable imaging capabilities in fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic imaging. However, porphyrins suffer from poor water solubility, low near-infrared absorption and insufficient tumor accumulation. The development of nanotechnology provides an effective way to improve the bioavailability, phototherapeutic effect and imaging capability of porphyrins. This review highlights the research results of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy and image-guided phototherapy in the last decade and discusses the challenges and directions for the development of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy.

Polymeric Nanosystems Applied for Metal-Based Drugs and Photosensitizers Delivery: The State of the Art and Recent Advancements. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071506. [PMID: 35890401 PMCID: PMC9320085 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanotechnology-based approaches for targeting the delivery and controlled release of metal-based therapeutic agents have revealed significant potential as tools for enhancing the therapeutic effect of metal-based agents and minimizing their systemic toxicities. In this context, a series of polymer-based nanosized systems designed to physically load or covalently conjugate metal-based therapeutic agents have been remarkably improving their bioavailability and anticancer efficacy. Initially, the polymeric nanocarriers were applied for platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents resulting in some nanoformulations currently in clinical tests and even in medical applications. At present, these nanoassemblies have been slowly expanding for nonplatinum-containing metal-based chemotherapeutic agents. Interestingly, for metal-based photosensitizers (PS) applied in photodynamic therapy (PDT), especially for cancer treatment, strategies employing polymeric nanocarriers have been investigated for almost 30 years. In this review, we address the polymeric nanocarrier-assisted metal-based therapeutics agent delivery systems with a specific focus on non-platinum systems; we explore some biological and physicochemical aspects of the polymer–metallodrug assembly. Finally, we summarize some recent advances in polymeric nanosystems coupled with metal-based compounds that present potential for successful clinical applications as chemotherapeutic or photosensitizing agents. We hope this review can provide a fertile ground for the innovative design of polymeric nanosystems for targeting the delivery and controlled release of metal-containing therapeutic agents.

Abstract
We report a cationic porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-N-methylpyridyl)-porphyrin (TMPyP) that can respond to specific bacteria, followed by adaptable photodynamic/photothermal therapy processes. TMPyP could be reduced to phlorin by facultative anaerobes with a strong reducing ability such as E. coli and S. typhimurium in hypoxic environments, possessing strong NIR absorption and remarkable photothermal conversion capacity, thus demonstrating excellent antimicrobial activity (>99 %) by photothermal therapy. While in an aerobic environment with aerobic bacteria, TMPyP functioned as a typical photosensitizer that killed bacteria effectively (>99.9 %) by photodynamic therapy. By forming a host-guest complex with cucurbit[7]uril, the biocompatibility of TMPyP significantly improved. This kind of bacteria-responsive porphyrin shows specificity and adaptivity in antimicrobial treatment and holds potential in non-invasive treatments of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is used to treat a variety of cancers. In this paper, water-soluble porphyrin photosensitizers (H2P1[Formula: see text]H2P3) for photodynamic therapy were synthesized, containing three groups -CH3, -CN, and -CF3. Density functional theory is used to optimize the structure of H2P1-H2P3 and calculate the [Formula: see text]E value. The smaller the value of [Formula: see text]E, the more favorable the electron transfer and thus the higher activity of the porphyrin photosensitizers. Due to the electron-withdrawing groups of -CN and -CF3, H2P2 and H2P3 have lower [Formula: see text]E values, higher reactive oxygen species yields compared with H2P1. The H2P2 porphyrin photosensitizers showed positive photodynamic therapeutic activity against hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) and good compatibility with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by cellular anticancer activity assay. The anti-cancer mechanism of PSs was explained by living and dead cell staining experiment and intracellular reactive oxygen species experiment. PSs produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells under light irradiation, which induced cancer cell apoptosis.

Abstract
At present, metalloporphyrin compounds demonstrate three main uses as anticancer sensitizers: (1) photosensitizers, (2) photothermal conversion agents, and (3) ultrasound sensitizers. Developing efficient sensitizers for cancer with excellent controllability and biocompatibility is an important goal of oncology medicine. Because of the different structural diversity of anticancer sensitizers, such sensitizers are used for treating cancers by employing a variety of tumor treatment methods such as mature photodynamic therapy, commonly used clinically photothermal therapy and promising sonodynamic therapy. Among the many sensitizers, metalloporphyrin-complex sensitizers attract wide attention due to their excellent performance in tumor treatment and diagnosis. This review briefly describes some metalloporphyrin anticancer drugs and diagnostic agents related to photodynamic, photothermal and sonodynamic therapy, and discusses the roles of metal atoms in these drugs.

Abstract
Much effort is devoted to develop agents with superior photoacoustic/photothermal properties for improved disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a new fused two isoindigo (DIID)-based semiconducting conjugated polymer (named PBDT-DIID) is rationally designed and synthesized with a strong near-infrared absorption band ranging from 700 to 1000 nm. Water-dispersing nanoparticles (NPs) of PBDT-DIID are prepared with good biocompatibility and a rather high photothermal conversion efficiency (70.6%), as the active excited-state intramolecular twist around the central double bonds in DIID permits most of the absorbed excitation energy flow to heat deactivation pathway through internal conversion. The photoacoustic signal can be further magnified by incorporation of polylactide (PLA) in the NP core to confine the generated heat of PBDT-DIID within NPs. The resultant doped NPs show excellent performance in photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy in an orthotopic 4T1 breast tumor-bearing mouse model. It is also found that the photothermal effect of the PBDT-DIID NPs is safe and quite efficacious to highly improve the root canal treatment outcome by heating the 1% NaClO solution inside the root canal upon 808 nm laser irradiation in a human extracted tooth root canal infection model.

Abstract
Bacterial infections on implantable materials can cause severe complications for affected patients, posing a serious threat to human health. Therefore, the development of appropriate surface modification strategies to construct the antibacterial platforms on medical implants are urgently needed. In this work, the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-stabilized polypyrrole nanoparticles (PVA-PPy NPs) were prepared by oxidative polymerization using FeCl3 as the oxidant. Subsequent mixing of the PVA-PPy NPs solution mixture with tannic acid (TA) was facilitated by hydrogen bonding. The as-formed TA/PVA-PPy NPs can be deposited with good adhesion onto solid materials in a substrate-independent manner. The hydrophilic TA/PVA-PPy NPs-deposited titanium (Ti-TPP) surface can reduce the adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). In addition, the Ti-TPP surface had photothermal property under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, which can kill the adhered bacteria via the hyperthermal effect. Upon exposure to NIR, the respective survival rates of S. aureus and E. coli on the Ti-TPP surfaces were only 1.66% and 2.78%, in comparison to those on the pristine Ti surfaces. Furthermore, the Ti-TPP surface could prevent the formation of early-stage biofilm under NIR irradiation. The TA/PVA-PPy NPs composites can be utilized as a contact-photoactive antibacterial coating for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this contribution, a unique donor-acceptor conjugated organic-small-molecule photothermal material, namely GDPA-QCN, is presented. Bulky dendritic triphenylamine (GDPA) was grafted onto quinoxaline-6,7-dicarbonitrile (QCN) with a phenyl ring as a bridge to form an "umbrella" architecture. Benefited from the particular molecular structure, in solid state, GDPA-QCN molecules adopted a loose packing mode due to the steric effect of "umbrella head" dendritic triphenylamine and flexible molecular structure feature, which allows efficient intramolecular motions and consequently elevates energy dissipation by taking the pathway of thermal deactivation within broad absorption range. The GDPA-QCN solid has high solar-thermal conversion efficiency with an absorption range from 300 to 1100 nm, which can promote superior water purification and electricity generation performance.

Abstract
The preparation of novel stable radical systems that survive and may be manipulated under harsh conditions is essential for their practical applications, such as energy storage and conversion materials. Here, we present a facile synthesis of an electrically neutral benzo-fused nickel corrole radical that shows remarkable photo- and thermal stability. The carbon-based organic radical character was confirmed using electron spin resonance and spin population analyses. This radical may be reversibly converted to its aromatic or antiaromatic ion via a one-electron redox process, as indicated by nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and theoretical calculations. Notably, the antiaromatic state is stable, showing intense ring currents with complex pathways. The spectroscopic characteristics and calculated molecular orbitals of the corrole radical exhibit a combination of aromatic and antiaromatic features. On the basis of the aromatic light-harvesting property and antiaromatic emission-free character, the corrole radical exhibits highly robust, efficient photothermal energy conversion in water after encapsulation within nanoparticles, with the unpaired spin simultaneously retained. These results provide a fundamental understanding of the relationship between the (anti)aromaticity and photophysical properties of a porphyrinoid radical and a promising platform for the design of radical-based functional materials.

Abstract
The emergence of conjugated polymers (CPs) has provided a pathway to attain smart multifunctional conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) with enhanced properties and diverse applications. CPNs based on π-extended CPs exhibit high fluorescence brightness, low cytotoxicity, excellent photostability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability, high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), etc. which endorse them as an excellent theranostic tool. Furthermore, the unique light-harvesting and energy transfer properties of CPNs enables their transformation into smart functional nanohybrids with augmented performance. Owing to such numerous features, simple preparation method and an easy separation process, the CPNs and their hybrids have been constantly rising as a frontrunner in the domain of medicine and much work has been done in the respective research area. This review summarizes the recent progress that has been made in the field of CPNs for biological and biomedical applications with special emphasis on biosensing, imaging, and theranostics. Following an introduction into the field, a first large section provides overview of the conventional as well as recently established synthetic methods for various types of CPNs. Then, the CPNs-based fluorometric assays for biomolecules based on different detection strategies have been described. Later on, examples of CPNs-based probes for imaging, both in vitro and in vivo using cancer cells and animal models have been explored. The next section highlighted the vital theranostic applications of CPNs and corresponding nanohybrids, mainly via imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT) and drug delivery. The last section summarizes the current challenges and gives an outlook on the potential future trends on CPNs as advanced healthcare material.

Abstract
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment modality that destroys abnormally growing cells or microorganisms. Porphyrins are used as photosensitizers in PDT; however, their clinical application has been limited by their poor water solubility, resulting in aggregation and low quantum yields of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Methods To overcome these limitations and improve PDT efficacy, we herein report the conjugation of ZnCuInS/ZnS (ZCIS/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) to 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (mTHPP). The optimal conditions for QDs porphyrin conjugation formation were systematically evaluated. Discussion This study further assessed the PDT efficacy and antibacterial potency of the synthesized ZCIS/ZnS-mTHPP conjugates. The PDT efficacy of the QDs, mTHPP, and conjugate was evaluated against the murine metastatic melanoma (B16 F10 Nex2) cell line. This was performed with and without LED irradiation. Results The conjugate exhibited the highest reduction in cell viability following LED irradiation (72%) compared to the bare QDs (19%) and mTHPP (1%). Antimicrobial studies conducted on E. coli showed that the conjugation exhibits a higher antibacterial effect than the bare QDs, even without light. Conclusion The results suggest that conjugate is a promising class of materials for anti-cancer and antimicrobial PDT.

Abstract
With rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant microbes, it is imperative to seek alternative means for infection control. Optical waveguides are an auspicious delivery method for precise administration of phototherapy. Studies have shown that phototherapy is promising in fighting against a myriad of infectious pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) including biofilm-forming species and drug-resistant strains while evading treatment resistance. When administered via optical waveguides, phototherapy can treat both superficial and deep-tissue infections while minimizing off-site effects that afflict conventional phototherapy and pharmacotherapy. Despite great therapeutic potential, exact mechanisms, materials, and fabrication designs to optimize this promising treatment option are underexplored. This review outlines principles and applications of phototherapy and optical waveguides for infection control. Research advances, challenges, and outlook regarding this delivery system are rigorously discussed in a hope to inspire future developments of optical waveguide-mediated phototherapy for the management of infection and beyond.

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
With the growth of photoenergy harvesting and thermal engineering, photothermal materials (PTMs) have attracted substantial interest due to their unique functions such as localized heat generation, spatiotemporal thermal controllability, invisibility, and light harvesting capabilities. In particular, π-conjugated organic PTMs show advantages over inorganic or metallic PTMs in thin film applications due to their large light absorptivity, ease of synthesis and tunability of molecular structures for realizing high NIR absorption, flexibility, and solution processability. This review is intended to provide an overview of organic PTMs, including both molecular and polymeric PTMs. A description of the photothermal (PT) effect and conversion efficiency (ηPT ) for organic films is provided. After that, the chemical structure and optical properties of organic PTMs are discussed. Finally, emerging applications of organic PT films from the perspective of spatiotemporal thermal engineering principles are illustrated.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) are capable of coordinating the electron coupling phenomenon to bestow powerful optoelectronic features. The light-harvesting and light-amplifying properties of CPs are extensively used in figuring out the biomedical issues with special emphasis on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and precise theranostics. This review summarizes the recent progress of CP materials in bioimaging, cancer therapeutics, and introduces the design strategies by rationally tuning the optical properties. The recent advances of CPs in bioimaging applications are first summarized and the challenges to clear the future directions of CPs in the respective area are discussed. In the following sections, the focus is on the burgeoning applications of CPs in phototherapy of the tumor, and illustrates the underlying photo-transforming mechanism for further molecular designing. Besides, the recent progress in the CPs-assistant drug therapy, mainly including drug delivery, gene therapeutic, the optical-activated reversion of tumor resistance, and synergistic therapy has also been discussed elaborately. In the end, the potential challenges and future developments of CPs on cancer diagnosis and therapy are also illuminated for the improvement of optical functionalization and the promotion of clinical translation.

Abstract
In the past ten years, photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted widespread attention in tumor treatment due to its non-invasiveness and little side effects. PTT utilizes heat produced by photothermal agents under the irradiation of near-infrared light to kill tumor cells. Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), an organic phototherapy agent, has been widely used in tumor phototherapy due to its higher molar extinction coefficient, robust photostability and good phototherapy effect. However, there are some issues in the application of BODIPY for tumor PTT, such as low photothermal conversion efficiency and short absorption wavelength. In this review, we focus on the latest development of BODIPY nanomaterials for overcoming the above problems and enhancing the PTT effect.

Abstract
Biomedical imaging techniques play a crucial role in clinical diagnosis, surgical intervention, and prognosis. Fluorescence imaging in the second biological window (second near-infrared [NIR-II]; 1000-1700 nm) has attracted attention recently. NIR-II fluorescence imaging offers unique advantages in terms of reduced photon scattering, deep tissue penetration, high sensitivity, and many others. A host of materials, including small organic molecules, single-walled carbon nanotubes, polymeric and rare-earth-doped nanoparticles, have been explored as NIR-II emitting fluorescent probes. Efficient and viable approaches to design and develop fluorescence probes with tunable photophysical properties without compromising other key features are of paramount importance. Various chemical strategies are explored to increase the quantum yield of these imaging agents without compromising their spatiotemporal resolution, specificity, and tissue penetration capabilities. This review summarizes the strategies implemented to design and synthesize NIR-II emitting nanoparticles and small organic molecule-based fluorescent probes for applications in the biomedical field. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanoscale Tools and Techniques in Surgery.

Abstract
Over the past decades, transition metal complexes have been successfully used in anticancer phototherapies. They have shown promising properties in many different areas including photo-induced ligand exchange or release, rich excited state behavior, and versatile biochemical properties. When encorporated into polymeric frameworks and become part of nanostructures, photoresponsive metallopolymer nanoparticles (MPNs) show enhanced water solubility, extended blood circulation and increased tumor-specific accumulation, which greatly improves the tumor therapeutic effects compared to low-molecule-weight metal complexes. In this review, we aim to present the recent development of photoresponsive MPNs as therapeutic nanomedicines. This review will summarize four major areas separately, namely platinum-containing polymers, zinc-containing polymers, iridium-containing polymers and ruthenium-containing polymers. Representative MPNs of each type are discussed in terms of their design strategies, fabrication methods, and working mechanisms. Current challenges and future perspectives in this field are also highlighted.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Due to the limitations of the current therapeutics, new treatment options are needed. Hyperthermia is a promising approach to improve breast cancer therapy, particularly when combined with chemo and radiotherapy. This area has gained more attention following association with nanotechnology, with the emergence of modalities, such as photothermal therapy (PTT). PTT is a simple, minimally invasive technique that requires a near infrared (NIR) light source and a PTT agent. Gold nanostructures are excellent PTT agents as they offer biocompatibility, versatility, high photothermal conversion efficiency, imaging contrast and an easily-modified surface. In this review, we describe the molecular basis and the current clinical aspects of hyperthermia-based therapies. The emergent area of nanoparticle-induced hyperthermia will be explored, in particular gold nanostructure-mediated PTT, focusing on recent preclinical studies for breast cancer management.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising approach for tumor treatment because of the noninvasion, and future would be perfect while it activates systemic immune responses through deep penetration to effectively avoid tumor recurrence. Here, a multifunctional nanosonosensitizer system (FA-MnPs) is designed by encapsulating manganese-protoporphyrin (MnP) into folate-liposomes. The nanoparticles of FA-MnPs not only exhibit excellent depth-responsive SDT but also simultaneously activate SDT-mediated immune response. Under US irradiation, FA-MnPs show the high acoustic intensity in mimic tissue up to 8 cm depth and generate amount of singlet oxygen (1O2). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that metal coordination in MnP has enhanced the US response ability. The good depth-responsed SDT of FA-MnPs efficiently suppresses the growth of not only the superficial tumors but also the deep lesion in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) mice model. Importantly, FA-MnPs-induced SDT further re-polarizes immunosuppressive M2 macrophages to antitumor M1 macrophages, and elicits immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate dendritic cells, T lymphocytes, and natural killercells (NK), which consequently trigger the antitumor immune, contributing to the tumor growth inhibition. This study put forward an idea for curing deep-seated and metastatic tumors through noninvasively depth-irradiated immunogenic SDT by reasonably designing multifunctional sonosensitizers.

An "all-in-one" strategy based on the organic molecule DCN-4CQA for effective NIR-fluorescence-imaging-guided dual phototherapy. J Mater Chem B 2021; 9:5785-5793.

Abstract
Dual phototherapy combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is considered to be a more effective therapeutic method against cancer than single treatment. Therefore, the development of a single material with both near-infrared (NIR)-laser-triggered PDT and PTT abilities is highly desirable but remains a great challenge. A design philosophy for photosensitizers for integrated PDT and PTT treatment has been put forward: (1) a high molar extinction coefficient in the NIR region; (2) suitable LUMO and T1 energy levels to regulate intersystem crossing for effective singlet oxygen (1O2) generation for PDT; and (3) the suppression of fluorescence emission to enhance the process of nonradiative transition with appropriate chemical modifications. Herein, an "all-in-one" functional material, di-cyan substituted 5,12-dibutylquinacridone (DCN-4CQA), for diagnosis and therapy was obtained. DCN-4CQA possesses dual-functional phototherapeutic activity and NIR fluorescence and it was produced via a facile synthesis process from the classic organic photoelectric material quinacridone. We then prepared smart water-soluble nanoparticles (NPs), DCN-4CQA/F127, using Pluronic® 127 (F127) as a drug carrier. The NPs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, robust photostability, NIR fluorescence, a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 47.3%), and sufficient 1O2 generation (ΦΔ = 24.3%) under NIR laser irradiation. Remarkably, the DCN-4CQA/F127 NPs significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice subjected to NIR laser irradiation. This study provides a new route for the development of highly efficient, low-cytotoxicity photosensitizers for fluorescence-imaging-guided PTT/PDT.

Abstract
The use of photo-based nanomedicine in imaging and therapy has grown rapidly. The property of light in converting its energy into different forms has been exploited in the fields of optical imaging (OI) and phototherapy (PT) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The development of nanotechnology offers numerous advantages to overcome the challenges of OI and PT. Accordingly, in this review, we shed light on common photosensitive agents (PSAs) used in OI and PT; these include fluorescent and bioluminescent PSAs for OI or PT agents for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). We also describe photo-based nanotechnology systems that can be used in photo-based diagnostics and therapies by using various polymeric systems.
