Abstract
This manuscript presents a new report on the in vitro antimicrobial photo-inactivation of foodborne microorganisms (Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes) using tetra-cationic porphyrins. Isomeric tetra-cationic porphyrins (3MeTPyP, 4MeTPyP, 3PtTPyP, and 4PtTPyP) were tested, and antimicrobial activity assays were performed at specific photosensitizer concentrations under dark and white-light LED irradiation conditions. Among the tested bacterial strains, 4MeTPyP exhibited the highest efficiency, inhibiting bacterial growth within just 60 min at low concentrations (17.5 μM). The minimal inhibitory concentration of 4MeTPyP increased when reactive oxygen species scavengers were present, indicating the significant involvement of singlet oxygen species in the photooxidation mechanism. Furthermore, the checkerboard assay testing the association of 4MeTPyP showed an indifferent effect. Atomic force microscopy analyses and dynamic simulations were conducted to enhance our understanding of the interaction between this porphyrin and the strain's membrane.

A first-in-class β-glucuronidase responsive conjugate for selective dual targeted and photodynamic therapy of bladder cancer. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 269:116283.

Abstract
In this report, we present a novel prodrug strategy that can significantly improve the efficiency and selectivity of combined therapy for bladder cancer. Our approach involved the synthesis of a conjugate based on a chlorin-e6 photosensitizer and a derivative of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor cabozantinib, linked by a β-glucuronidase-responsive linker. Upon activation by β-glucuronidase, which is overproduced in various tumors and localized in lysosomes, this conjugate released both therapeutic modules within targeted cells. This activation was accompanied by the recovery of its fluorescence and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Investigation of photodynamic and dark toxicity in vitro revealed that the novel conjugate had an excellent safety profile and was able to inhibit tumor cells proliferation at submicromolar concentrations. Additionally, combined therapy effects were also observed in 3D models of tumor growth, demonstrating synergistic suppression through the activation of both photodynamic and targeted therapy.

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
Topical administration of anti-cancer drugs along with photodynamically active molecules is a non-invasive approach, which stands to be a promising modality for treating aggressive cutaneous melanomas with the added advantage of high patient compliance. However, the efficiency of delivering drugs topically is limited by several factors, such as penetration of the drug across skin layers at the tumor site and limited light penetrability. In this study, curcumin, an active anti-cancer agent, and chlorin e6, a photoactivable molecule, were encapsulated into lipidic nanoparticles that produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) when activated at 665 nm by near-infrared (NIR) light. The optimized lipidic nanoparticle containing curcumin and chlorin e6 exhibited a particle size of less than 100 nm. The entrapment efficiency for both molecules was found to be 81%. The therapeutic efficacy of the developed formulation was tested on B16F10 and A431 cell lines via cytotoxicity evaluation, combination index, cellular uptake, nuclear staining, DNA fragmentation, ROS generation, apoptosis, and cell cycle assays under NIR irradiation (665 nm). Co-delivering curcumin and chlorin e6 exhibited higher cellular uptake, better cancer growth inhibition, and pronounced apoptotic events compared to the formulation having the free drug alone. The study results depicted that topical application of this ROS-generating dual-drug-loaded lipidic nanoparticles incorporated in SEPINEO gel achieved better permeation (80 ± 2.45%) across the skin, and exhibited the improved skin retention and a synergistic effect as well. The present work introduces photo-triggered ROS-generating dual-drug-based lipidic nanoparticles, which are simple and efficient to develop and exhibit synergistic therapeutic effects against cutaneous melanoma.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is a minimally invasive treatment of tumors using photosensitizers, light, and reactive oxygen species, which can destroy cellular structures. With the development of photodynamic therapy, significant efforts have been made to create new efficient photosensitizers with improved delivery to cells, stability, and selectivity against cancer tissues. Naturally occurring tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, such as porphyrins and chlorins, are very attractive as photosensitizers, and their structural modification and conjugation with other biologically active molecules are promising approaches for creating new photosensitizers specifically targeting cancer cells. The present review aims to highlight recent developments in the design, preparation, and investigation of complex conjugates of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, which can potentially be used as sensitizers for target-oriented photodynamic therapy of cancer. In this review, we discuss the structure, photodynamic effect, and anticancer activity of the following conjugates of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles: (1) conjugates obtained by modifying peripheral substituents in porphyrins and chlorins; (2) conjugates of porphyrins and chlorins with lipids, carbohydrates, steroids, and peptides; (3) conjugates of porphyrins and chlorins with anticancer drugs and some other biologically active molecules; (4) metal-containing conjugates. The question of how the conjugate structure affects its specificity, internalization, localization, and photoinduced toxicity within cancer cells is the focus of this review.

Abstract
Two new trimethoxyl A2B triaryl corroles 10-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)- corrole (1) and 10-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-corrole (2) and their gallium(III) and phosphorus(V) (1-Ga, 1-P, 2-Ga and 2-P) complexes had been prepared and well characterized by UV-vis, NMR and HR-MS. Among all compounds, 2-Ga, 1-P and 2-P showed excellent in vivo photodynamic activity against the MDA-MB-231, A549, Hela and HepG2 cell lines upon light irradiation at 625 nm. And 2-P even exhibited higher phototoxicity than the clinical photosensitizer temoporfin. Also, 2-P exhibited the highest singlet oxygen quantum yield and photostability. The preliminary investigation revealed that 2-P could be rapidly absorbed by tumor cells and mainly located in the cytoplasm. After photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment with 2-P, mitochondrial membrane potential destruction, intracellular ROS level increasing and nuclear fragmentation of cancer cells could be observed. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that the 2-P PDT may cause tumor cell arrest at sub-G1 stage and induce early and late apoptosis of cells. These results suggest that 2-P is a promising candidate as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a rapidly developing modality of primary and adjuvant anticancer treatment. The main trends today are the search for new effective photodynamic agents and the creation of targeted delivery systems with the function of controlling the release of the agent in the tumor. Recently, the new group of cyanoarylporphyrazine dyes was reported, which combine the properties of photosensitizers and sensors of the local microenvironment. Such unique characteristics allow the release of the photosensitizer from the transport carrier to be assessed in real time in vivo. The aim of the present work was to compare the photophysical and photobiological properties of tetra(2-naphthyl)tetracyanoporphyrazine and its newly synthesized Fe(II) complex. We have shown that the chelation of the Fe(II) cation with the porphyrazine macrocycle leads to a decrease in molar extinction and an increase in the quantum yield of fluorescence and photostability. We demonstrate that the iron cation significantly affects the rate of dye accumulation in cells, the dark toxicity and photodynamic activity, and the direction of the changes depends on the particular cell line. However, in all the cases, the photodynamic index of a metal complex was higher than that of a metal-free base. In general, both of the compounds were found to be very promising for PDT, including for the use with transport delivery systems, and can be recommended for further in vivo studies.

Abstract
meso-Arylporphyrins as most accessible tetrapyrrole macroheterocycles have always been the focus of attention from researchers concerned with practically useful properties of these compounds. The first syntheses of meso-arylporphyrins date back to about 90 years ago. Up to now, the yields of these compounds have been improved from 5 to 80%. The present review analyzes different ways and strategies for the synthesis of meso-aryl-substituted porphyrins. The most efficient methods that can be scaled up to an industrial level have been identified.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the proliferation and metastatization of cancer cells. Aberrancies in the expression and activation of EGFR are hallmarks of many human malignancies. As such, EGFR-targeted therapies hold significant potential for the cure of cancers. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained increased interest as a non-invasive cancer treatment. In PDT, a photosensitizer is excited by light to produce reactive oxygen species, resulting in local cytotoxicity. One of the critical aspects of PDT is to selectively transport enough photosensitizers to the tumors environment. Accordingly, an increasing number of strategies have been devised to foster EGFR-targeted PDT. Herein, we review the recent nanobiotechnological advancements that combine the promise of PDT with EGFR-targeted molecular cancer therapy. We recapitulate the chemistry of the sensitizers and their modes of action in PDT, and summarize the advantages and pitfalls of different targeting moieties, highlighting future perspectives for EGFR-targeted photodynamic treatment of cancer.

Abstract
In the present work, a number of chlorophyll [Formula: see text] derivatives were synthetized with galactose fragments with an ester bond between macrocycle and carbohydrate fragments. It showed that synthesized compounds fluoresce intensely inside HeLa cells, which enable these compounds to be considered as potential diagnostic agents and indicates their ability to remain in the cell in an unassociated photoactive state — a necessary condition for the realization of a photodynamic action. It was determined that while all conjugates had comparable photoinduced toxicities, the conjugate with phorbin macrocycle fragment had a much lower dark toxicity, which corresponds to the trends noted earlier. In terms of a therapeutic window, conjugate significantly exceeds similar derivatives of chlorin [Formula: see text] and is the most promising for further research.

Application of a polyelectrolyte complex based on biocompatible polysaccharides for colorectal cancer inhibition. Carbohydr Res 2020; 499:108194.

Abstract
Strategies for incorporating water-insoluble photosensitisers (PS) in drug delivery systems have been extensively studied. In this work, we evaluate the formation, characterisation, drug sorption studies, and cytotoxicity of chitosan (CHT)/chondroitin sulphate (CS) polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) coated with polystyrene-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (AlClPc). The PECs were characterised by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PS-b-PAA NPs on the PEC surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Additionally, optical images distinguished the PEC structures containing PS-b-PAA or PS-b-PAA/AlClPc from the unloaded PEC. Kinetic and equilibrium studies investigate the sorption capacity of the PEC/PS-b-PAA toward AlClPc. The encapsulation efficiency reached 95% at 190 μg mL-1 AlClPc after only 15 min. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic fitted well to the experimental data. The PS-b-PAA NPs on the PEC surfaces increase the AlClPc bioavailability and the PEC structure stabilizes the PS-b-PAA/AlClPc nanostructures. The materials were cytocompatible upon healthy VERO (kidney epithelial cells), and cytotoxic against colorectal cancerous cells (HT-29 cells). For the first time, we associate PS-b-PAA/AlClPc with a hydrophilic and cytocompatible polysaccharide matrix. We suggest the use of these materials in strategies to treat cancer by using photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
A new water-soluble conjugate, consisting of a chlorin-e6 photosensitizer part, a 4-arylaminoquinazoline moiety with affinity to epidermal growth factor receptors, and a hydrophilic β-d-maltose fragment, was synthesized starting from methylpheophorbide-a in seven steps. The prepared conjugate exhibited low levels of dark cytotoxicity and pronounced photoinduced cytotoxicity at submicromolar concentrations in vitro, with an IC50(dark)/IC50(light) ratio of ∼368 and a singlet oxygen quantum yield of about 20%. In tumor-bearing Balb/c nude mice, conjugate 1 preferentially accumulates in the tumor tissue. Irradiation of the nude mice bearing A431 xenograft tumors after intravenous administration of the prepared conjugate with a relatively low light dose (50 J/cm2) produced an excellent therapeutic effect with profound tumor regression and low systemic toxicity.
