Chemistry 2024; 30:e202302520. [PMID: 37877456 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202302520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) has the potential to enhance photoredox catalysis yield. It includes a sensitizer and an annihilator. Efficient and stable annihilators are essential for photoredox catalysis, yet only a few examples are reported. Herein, we designed four novel pyrene annihilators (1, 2, 3 and 4) via introducing aryl-alkynyl groups onto pyrene to systematically modulate their singlet and triplet energies. Coupled with platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP), the TTA-UC efficiency is enhanced gradually as the number of aryl-alkynyl group increases. When combining 4 with palladium tetraphenyl-tetrabenzoporphyrin (PdTPTBP), we achieved the highest red-to-green upconversion efficiency (22.4±0.3 %) (out of a 50 % maximum) so far. Then, this pair was used to activate photooxidation of aryl boronic acid under red light (630 nm), which achieved a great improved reaction yield compared to that activated by green light directly. The results not only provide a design strategy for efficient annihilators, but also show the advantage of applying TTA-UC into improving the photoredox catalysis yield.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nano-assemblies from amphiphilic macromolecules could undergo controlled structural transformations and generate diverse macroscopic phenomenon under stimuli. Due to the controllable responsiveness, they have been applied for broad material and biomedical applications, such as biologics delivery, sensing, imaging, and catalysis. Understanding the mechanisms of the assembly-disassembly processes and structural determinants behind the responsive properties is fundamentally important for designing the next generation of nano-assemblies with programmable responsiveness. In this review, we focus on structural determinants of assemblies from amphiphilic macromolecules and their macromolecular level alterations under stimuli, such as the disruption of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), depolymerization, decrosslinking, and changes of molecular packing in assemblies, which eventually lead to a series of macroscopic phenomenon for practical purposes. Applications of stimuli-responsive nano-assemblies in delivery, sensing and imaging were also summarized based on their structural features. We expect this review could provide readers an overview of the structural considerations in the design and applications of nanoassemblies and incentivize more explorations in stimuli-responsive soft matters.

Abstract
For the molecular properties in which energy transfer/migration is determinantal, such as triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon up-conversion (TTAUC), the overall performance is largely affected by the intermolecular distance and relative molecular orientations. In such scenarios, tools that may steer the intermolecular interactions and provide control over molecular organisation in the bulk, become most valuable. Often these non-covalent interactions, found predominantly in supramolecular assemblies, enable pre-programming of the molecular network in the assembled structures. In other words, by employing supramolecular chemistry principles, an arrangement where molecular units are arranged in a desired fashion, very much like a Lego toy, could be achieved. This leads to enhanced energy transfer from one molecule to other. In recent past, chiral luminescent systems have attracted huge attention for producing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). In such systems, chirality is a necessary requirement. Chirality induction/transfer through supramolecular interactions has been known for a long time. It was realized recently that it may help in the generation and amplification of CPL signals as well. In this review article we have discussed the applicability of self-/co-assembly processes for achieving maximum TTA-UC and CPL in various molecular systems.

Formylation as a Chemical Tool to Modulate the Performance of Photosensitizers Based on Boron Dipyrromethene Dimers. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11837.

Abstract
Heavy-atom-free photosensitizers are envisioned as the next generation of photoactive molecules for photo-theragnosis. In this approach, and after suitable irradiation, a single molecular scaffold is able to visualize and kill tumour cells by fluorescence signalling and photodynamic therapy (PDT), respectively, with minimal side effects. In this regard, BODIPY-based orthogonal dimers have irrupted as suitable candidates for this aim. Herein, we analyse the photophysical properties of a set of formyl-functionalized BODIPY dimers to ascertain their suitability as fluorescent photosensitizers. The conducted computationally aided spectroscopic study determined that the fluorescence/singlet oxygen generation dual performance of these valuable BODIPY dimers not only depends on the BODIPY-BODIPY linkage and the steric hindrance around it, but also can be modulated by proper formyl functionalization at specific chromophoric positions. Thus, we propose regioselective formylation as an effective tool to modulate such a delicate photonic balance in BODIPY-based dimeric photosensitizers. The taming of the excited-state dynamics, in particular intramolecular charge transfer as the key underlying process mediating fluorescence deactivation vs. intersystem crossing increasing, could serve to increase fluorescence for brighter bioimaging, enhance the generation of singlet oxygen for killing activity, or balance both for photo-theragnosis.

Abstract
Phototheranostics integrating optical imaging and phototherapy has attracted extensive attention. Achieving nanophototherapeutics with near infrared (NIR)-light synchronously triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is challenging. Herein, we develop a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform prepared from the co-assembly of NIR boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) with a cooperative D-π-A structure of a thiophene-BODIPY core and benzene-diethylamino, and a choline phosphate lipid. The as-fabricated nanoparticles (DBNPs) exhibited desirable NIR absorption, uniform spherical morphology and good colloidal stability. The elaborate molecular design and supramolecular assembly endowed DBNPs with desirable PDT and PTT activities. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, the DBNPs efficiently generated active singlet oxygen and regional hyperpyrexia, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 37.6%. The excellent PDT and PTT performance of DBNPs boosted the potent in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor effects. In addition, these nanoparticles manifested their good capability of NIR fluorescence imaging of tumors. Overall, the DBNPs provide a paradigm for delivering hydrophobic phototherapy molecules with phospholipids for enhanced tumor treatment and imaging.

Abstract
Two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets (2D-MoS2) have been widely used in many biological applications due to their distinctive physicochemical properties. Further, the development of surface modification using thiolated ligands allows us to use them for many specific applications. But the effect of possible ligand exchange on 2D-MoS2 has never been explored, which can play an important role in diverse biological applications. In this study, we have observed the ligand-exchange phenomenon on 2D-MoS2 in the presence of different thiolated ligands. The initial study proceeded with boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) functionalized MoS2 with different concentrations of glutathione (GSH), which is the most abundant thiol species in the cytoplasm of various cancer cells. It was found that in the presence of GSH the fluorescence of BODIPY can be regenerated, which is time and concentration dependent. We have also examined this phenomenon with different thiol ligands and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We observed a variable rate of ligand exchange in different solvents, surface functionality, and receptor environments that helped us to construct sensor arrays. Interestingly, a ligand-exchange process was not observed in the presence of dithiols. Further, this concept was applied to a cancerous cell line for in vitro delivery. We found that BODIPY-functionalized 2D-MoS2 undergoes thiol exchange by intracellular GSH and subsequently enhanced the fluorescence in the cytoplasm of cancer cells. This strategy can be applied to the development of 2D-TMD-based materials for various biological applications related to ligand exchange.

Abstract
Malignant brain tumors, a heterogeneous group of primary and metastatic neoplasms in the central nervous system (CNS), are notorious for their highly invasive and devastating characteristics, dismal prognosis and low survival rate. Recently, near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging modalities including fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) have displayed bright prospect in innovation of brain tumor diagnoses, due to their merits, like noninvasiveness, high spatiotemporal resolution, good sensitivity and large penetration depth. Importantly, these imaging techniques have been widely used to vividly guide diverse brain tumor therapies in a real-time manner with high accuracy and efficiency. Herein, we provide a systematic summary of the state-of-the-art NIR contrast agents (CAs) for brain tumors single-modal imaging (e.g., FLI and PAI), dual-modal imaging (e.g., FLI/PAI, FLI/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PAI/MRI) and triple-modal imaging (e.g., MRI/FLI/PAI and MRI/PAI/computed tomography (CT) imaging). In addition, we update the most recent progress on the NIR optical imaging-guided therapies, like single-modal (e.g., photothermal therapy (PTT), chemotherapy, surgery, photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy and gas therapy), dual-modal (e.g., PTT/chemotherapy, PTT/surgery, PTT/PDT, PDT/chemotherapy, PTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and PTT/gene therapy) and triple-modal (e.g., PTT/PDT/chemotherapy, PTT/PDT/surgery, PTT/PDT/gene therapy and PTT/gene/chemotherapy). Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of the CAs and nanotheranostics for future clinic translation.

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
Aliphatic polyesters are among materials most extensively used for producing biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles currently in development as delivery carriers and imaging agents for a range of biomedical applications. Their clinical translation requires robust particle labeling methodologies that allow reliably monitoring the fate of these formulations in complex biological environments. In the present study, a practical and versatile synthetic strategy providing conjugates of poly(D,L-lactide) representative of this class of polymers with BODIPY fluorophores varying in functional groups and excitation/emission maxima was investigated as a tool for making traceable nanoparticles. Polymer-probe conjugation was accomplished by carbodiimide-induced and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium 4-toluenesulfonate-catalyzed esterification of the polymer's terminal hydroxyl group, either directly with a carboxy-functionalized fluorophore or with amine-protected amino acids (Boc-glycine or Boc-6-aminohexanoic acid). In the latter case, the amino acid-derivatized polymeric precursors were reacted with amine-reactive BODIPY dyes after the removal of the protective group. Unlike nanoparticles encapsulating a strongly hydrophobic BODIPY505/515 (logPo/w = 4.3), nanoparticles labeled covalently with its carboxy-functionalized analogue (BODIPY FL) demonstrated stable particle-tracer association under perfect sink conditions. Furthermore, in contrast to the encapsulated dye rapidly partitioning from particles onto cell membranes but not stably retained by cultured cells, the internalization of the covalently attached probe was an irreversible process requiring the presence of serum, consistent with active nanoparticle uptake by endocytosis. In conclusion, the conjugation of particle-forming polymers with BODIPY fluorophores offers an effective and accessible labeling strategy for making traceable polyester-based biodegradable nanoparticles and is expected to facilitate their development and optimization as therapeutic carriers and diagnostic agents.

Abstract
The combination of cytotoxic amino-BODIPY dye and 2-phenyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolinone (3-HQ) derivatives into one molecule gave rise to selective activity against lymphoblastic or myeloid leukemia and the simultaneous disappearance of the cytotoxicity against normal cells. Both species' conjugation can be realized via a disulfide linker cleavable in the presence of glutathione characteristic for cancer cells. The cleavage liberating the free amino-BODIPY dye and 3-HQ derivative can be monitored by ratiometric fluorescence or by the OFF-ON effect of the amino-BODIPY dye. A similar cytotoxic activity is observed when the amino-BODIPY dye and 3-HQ derivative are connected through a non-cleavable maleimide linker. The work reports the synthesis of several conjugates, the study of their cleavage inside cells, and cytotoxic screening.

Abstract
BODIPY dyes have recently been used for photothermal and photodynamic therapy of tumors. However, complex multi-material systems, multiple excitation wavelengths and the unclear relationship between BODIPY structures and their PTT/PDT efficiency are still major issues. In our study, nine novel BODIPY near-infrared dyes were designed and successfully synthesized and then, the relationships between BODIPY structures and their PTT/PDT efficiency were investigated in detail. The results showed that modifications at position 3,5 of the BODIPY core with conjugated structures have better effects on photothermal and photodynamic efficiency than the modifications at position 2,6 with halogen atoms. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that this is mainly due to the extension of the conjugated chain and the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect. By encapsulating BDPX-M with amphiphilic DSPE-PEG2000-RGD and lecithin, the obtained NPs not only show good water solubility and biological stability, but also could act as superior agents for photothermal and photodynamic synergistic therapy of tumors. Finally, we obtained BODIPY NPs that exhibited excellent photothermal and photodynamic effects at the same time under single irradiation with an 808 nm laser (photothermal conversion efficiency: 42.76%, A/A0: ∼0.05). In conclusion, this work provides a direction to design and construct phototherapeutic nanoparticles based on BODIPY dyes for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Combination therapy such as photodynamic therapy (PDT)-enhanced chemotherapy is regarded as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), as close relatives of porphyrins, was widely used in PDT. However, poor water solubility, rapid metabolism by the body and lack of targeting limits its clinical application. Lenvatinib, as the first-line drug for molecular-targeted therapy of liver cancer, restricted its clinical application for its side effects. Herein, to achieve the synergy between PDT and chemotherapy, we synthesized two halogenated BODIPY, BDPBr2 and BDPCl2, which were prepared into self-assembly nanoparticles with lenvatinib, and were encapsulated with Pluronic F127 through the nanoprecipitation method, namely, LBPNPs (LBBr2 NPs and LBCl2 NPs). The fluorescence quantum yields of LBPNPs were 0.73 and 0.71, respectively. The calculated loading rates of lenvatinib for LBBr2 NPs and LBCl2 NPs were 11.8 and 10.2%, respectively. LBPNPs can be hydrolyzed under weakly acidic conditions (pH 5.0) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the release rate of lenvatinib reached 88.5 and 82.4%. Additionally, LBPNPs can be effectively taken up by Hep3B and Huh7 liver cancer cells, releasing halogenated BODIPY and lenvatinib in the acidic environment of tumor cells to enhance the targeting performance of chemotherapeutics. Compared with free lenvatinib and separate halogenated BODIPY, LBPNPs can inhibit tumor growth more effectively through pH-responsive chemo/photodynamic synergistic therapy and significantly promote the cascade of caspase apoptotic protease. This study shows that LBPNPs can be a promising nanotheranostic agent for synergetic chemo/photodynamic liver cancer therapy.

Abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest due to their promises in organic chemistry, solar energy harvesting and several biological applications. However, triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion in aqueous solutions is challenging due to sensitivity to oxygen, hindering its biological applications under ambient atmosphere. Herein, we report a simple enzymatic strategy to overcome oxygen-induced triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion quenching. This strategy stems from a glucose oxidase catalyzed glucose oxidation reaction, which enables rapid oxygen depletion to turn on upconversion in the aqueous solution. Furthermore, self-standing upconversion biological sensors of such nanoparticles are developed to detect glucose and measure the activity of enzymes related to glucose metabolism in a highly specific, sensitive and background-free manner. This study not only overcomes the key roadblock for applications of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion nanoparticles in aqueous solutions, it also establishes the proof-of-concept to develop triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion nanoparticles as background free self-standing biological sensors.

Abstract
The shortened Abstract is as follows: Therapeutic gas nitric oxide (NO) has demonstrated the unique advances in biomedical applications due to its prominent role in regulating physiological/pathophysiological activities in terms of vasodilation, angiogenesis, chemosensitizing effect, and bactericidal effect. However, it is challenging to deliver NO, due to its short half-life (<5 s) and short diffusion distances (20-160 µm). To address these, various polymeric NO delivery nanoplatforms (PNODNPs) have been developed for cancer therapy, antimicrobial and cardiovascular therapeutics, because of the important advantages of polymeric delivery nanoplatforms in terms of controlled release of therapeutics and the extremely versatile nature. This reviews highlights the recent significant advances made in PNODNPs for NO storing and targeting delivery. The ideal and unique criteria that are required for PNODNPs for treating cancer, cardiovascular diseases and infection, respectively, are summarized. Hopefully, effective storage and targeted delivery of NO in a controlled manner using PNODNPs could pave the way for NO-sensitized synergistic therapy in clinical practice for treating the leading death-causing diseases.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Herein, we report on the design and development of functionalized acrylic polymeric nanoparticles with Spiropyrans (SPs) and imidazole moieties via superficial polymerizations. Then, Au3+ ions were immobilized and reduced on their surface to obtain photoresponsive gold-decorated polymer nanoparticles(Au-NPs). The synthesized Au-NPs were surface adapted with biotin as specific targeting tumor penetration cells and enhance the intercellular uptake through the endocytosis. FT-IR (Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy), UV-Vis (Ultra Violet-Visible Spectrophotometer), EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and HR-TEM (High-resolution transmission electron microscopy) descriptions were engaged to illustrate their spectral analysis and morphological examinations of Bt@Au-NPs. Fluorescence microscopy images of cellular uptake descriptions and ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) investigation established the cell lines labeling ability and enhanced targetting efficacy of biotin-conjugated Au-NPs (Bt@Au-NPs) toward C6 glioma cells (brain cancer cells) with 72.5% cellular uptake relative to 30.2% for non-conjugated lone. These were further established through intracellular ROS examinations and in vitro cytotoxicity investigation on the C6 glioma cell line. The solid surface plasmon absorptions of the Au-NPs and Bt@Au-NPs providing raised photothermal therapy under UV irradiation. The synthesized multifunctional Bt@Au-NPs with an inclusive combination of potential resources presented encouraging nanoprobe with targeting capability, improved photodynamic and photothermal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer phototheranostics, composed of optical diagnosis and phototherapy (including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy), is a promising strategy for precise tumor treatment. Due to the unique properties of near-infrared absorption/emission, high reactive oxygen species generation, and photothermal conversion efficiency, aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY), as an emerging organic photosensitizer, has shown great potential for tumor phototheranostics. By encapsulating aza-BODIPY photosensitizers within functional amphiphilic polymers, we can afford hydrophilic nanomedicines that selectively target tumor sites via an enhanced permeability and retention effect, thereby efficiently improving diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Herein, in this spotlight article, we attempt to highlight our recent contributions in the development of aza-BODIPY-based nanomedicines, which comprises three main sections: (1) to elucidate the design strategy of aza-BODIPY photosensitizers and corresponding nanomedicines; (2) to overview their photophysical properties and biomedical applications in phototheranostics, including fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and synergistic therapy; and (3) to depict the challenges and future perspectives of aza-BODIPY nanomedicines. It is believed that this Spotlight on Applications article would illuminate the way of developing new aza-BODIPY nanomedicines as well as other organic photosensitizer-based nanomedicines for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Magnetic guidance shows promise as a strategy for improving the delivery and performance of cell therapeutics. However, clinical translation of magnetically guided cell therapy requires cell functionalization protocols that provide adequate magnetic properties in balance with unaltered cell viability and biological function. Existing methodologies for characterizing cells functionalized with magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) produce aggregate results, both distorted and unable to reflect variability in either magnetic or biological properties within a preparation. In the present study, we developed an inverted-plate assay allowing determination of these characteristics using a single-platform approach, and applied this method for a comparative analysis of two loading protocols providing highly uniform vs. uneven MNP distribution across cells. MNP uptake patterns remarkably different between the two protocols were first shown by fluorimetry carried out in a well-scan mode on endothelial cells (EC) loaded with BODIPY558/568-labeled MNP. Using the inverted-plate assay we next demonstrated that, in stark contrast to unevenly loaded cells, more than 50% of uniformly functionalized EC were captured within 5 min over a broad range of MNP doses. Furthermore, magnetically captured cells exhibited unaltered viability, substrate attachment, and proliferation rates. Conducted in parallel, magnetophoretic mobility studies corroborated the markedly superior guidance capacity of uniformly functionalized cells, confirming substantially faster cell capture kinetics on a clinically relevant time scale. Taken together, these results emphasize the importance of optimizing cell preparation protocols with regard to loading uniformity as key to efficient site-specific delivery, engraftment, and expansion of the functionalized cells, essential for both improving performance and facilitating translation of targeted cell therapeutics.

Abstract
Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), as a traditional fluorescent dye, has drawn increasing attention because of its excellent photophysical properties like adjustable spectra and outstanding photostability. BODIPY dyes could be assembled into nanoparticles for cancer imaging and therapy via rational design. In this review, the bio-applications of BODIPY-containing nanoparticles are introduced in detail, such as cellular imaging, near-infrared fluorescence imaging, computed tomography imaging, photoacoustic imaging, phototherapy, and theranostics. The construction strategies of BODIPY-containing nanoparticles are emphasized so the review has three sections-self-assembly of small molecules, chemical conjugation with hydrophilic compounds, and physical encapsulation. This review not only summarizes various and colorific bio-applications of BODIPY-containing nanoparticles, but also provides reasonable design methods of BODIPY-containing nanoparticles for cancer theranostics. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
It is a challenge to develop multifunctional theranostic agents in one molecule, which simultaneously possesses tumor imaging ability with a high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent therapeutic activity. In this work, we synthesized and screened a series of BODIPY (BDP) with various absorption and fluorescence. The interplay of the molecular structure, pH-sensitive absorption and emission, and photodynamic and photothermal activities was well studied in detail. Photoinduced electron transfer, intramolecular charge transfer, and heavy atom effect were leveraged to engineer BDP with tumor imaging and therapeutic functions. The BDP nanoparticle formulations possessed multifunctional biological features, including selective treatment of cancer cells, near-infrared fluorescence, photoacoustic and computed tomography imaging, and photodynamic and photothermal therapy, as validated by cellular and animal experiments. These results not only give a new horizon to multifunctional BDP for biological applications but also show a new way to design the organic dye for tumor imaging and phototherapy.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have drawn growing attention in cancer phototherapy and imaging due to their large extinction coefficients, robust photostability, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we propose a new type of photothermal therapy materials on the basis of BODIPY-diketopyrrolopyrrole CPs, where the number of methyl substituents at the β and β' positions on BODIPYs is variable, allowing us to investigate the interplay between the structure of the monomers and the related properties of CPs. Combining the experimental data with theoretical calculations, we concluded that with the decrease of the number of methyl moieties on the β and β' positions of BODIPY, the polymerization degree and the solubility of the obtained CPs improved and the polymeric spatial planarization and degrees of conjugation increased, inducing the bathochromic shift of absorption, which resulted in the absorption spectra getting closer to the near-infrared region and more conducive to the application of the conjugated polymers in vivo. Afterward, the CP nanoparticles were constructed and their photothermal activity in cancer therapy was validated by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. In this paper, we provide a new way to manipulate properties of CPs with great potential in photothermal therapy through structural engineering.

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
Nitric oxide (NO) induces a multitude of antitumor activities, encompassing the induction of apoptosis, sensitization to chemo-, radio-, or immune-therapy, and inhibition of metastasis, drug resistance, angiogenesis, and hypoxia, thus attracting much attention in the area of cancer intervention. To improve the precise targeting and treatment efficacy of NO, a glutathione (GSH)-sensitive NO donor (1,5-bis[(l-proline-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diol- O2-yl]-2,4-dinitrobenzene, BPDB) coordinates with iron ions to form the nanoscale coordination polymer (NCP) via a simple precipitation and then partial ion exchange process. The obtained Fe(II)-BNCP shows desirable solubility, biocompatibility, and circulation stability. Quick NO release triggered by high concentrations of GSH in tumor cells improves the specificity of NO release in situ, thus avoiding side effects in other tissues. Meanwhile, under high concentrations of H2O2 in tumors, Fe2+ ions in BPDB-based NCP, named Fe(II)-BNCP, exert Fenton activity to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which is the main contribution for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In addition, ·O2- generated by the Haber-Weiss reaction of Fe2+ ions with H2O2 can quickly react with NO to produce peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) that is more cytotoxic than ·O2- or NO only. This synergistic NO-CDT effect has been proved to retard the tumor growth in Heps xenograft ICR mouse models. This work not only implements a synergistic effect of NO-CDT therapy but also offers a simple and efficient strategy to construct a coordination polymer nanomedicine via rationally designed prodrug molecules such as NO donors.

Abstract
NIR photosensitizer is attractive for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Low-power light irradiation and imaging-guided PDT makes it possible to increase tissue penetration depth. The pyrrole-substituted iodinated BODIPY (BDPI) molecule was designed and synthesized, and it possesses an intense NIR absorption and emission band, and exhibits a high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 0.80) which leads remarkable cytotoxicity upon low power illumination (IC50 = 0.60 μg/mL, 6.1 mW/cm2). After being encapsulated with biocompatibility polypeptide PEG-PLys, polymeric micelles nanoparticles (PBDPI NPs) was obtained that are water-dispersed and passively tumor-targetable. Such enhanced accumulation in tumor area makes it easily traced in vivo due to its NIR fluorescence. In addition, such nanoparticles offer an unprecedented photodynamic therapeutic effect by using a low-power irradiation light, which makes it possible to kill cancer cells in deep tissue efficiently.
