Abstract
This work describes the reactivity and properties of fluorinated derivatives (F-PD and F-PDO) of plasmodione (PD) and its metabolite, the plasmodione oxide (PDO). Introduction of a fluorine atom on the 2-methyl group markedly alters the redox properties of the 1,4-naphthoquinone electrophore, making the compound highly oxidizing and particularly photoreactive. A fruitful set of analytical methods (electrochemistry, absorption and emission spectrophotometry, and HRMS-ESI) have been used to highlight the products resulting from UV photoirradiation in the absence or presence of selected nucleophiles. With F-PDO and in the absence of nucleophile, photoreduction generates a highly reactive ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) capable of leading to the formation of a homodimer. In the presence of thiol nucleophiles such as β-mercaptoethanol, which was used as a model, o-QMs are continuously regenerated in sequential photoredox reactions generating mono- or disulfanylation products as well as various unreported sulfanyl products. Besides, these photoreduced adducts derived from F-PDO are characterized by a bright yellowish emission due to an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process between the dihydronapthoquinone and benzoyl units. In order to evidence the possibility of an intramolecular coupling of the o-QM intermediate, a synthetic route to the corresponding anthrones is described. Tautomerization of the targeted anthrones occurs and affords highly fluorescent stable hydroxyl-anthraquinones. Although probable to explain the intense visible fluorescence emission also observed in tobacco BY-2 cells used as a cellular model, these coupling products have never been observed during the photochemical reactions performed in this study. Our data suggest that the observed ESIPT-induced fluorescence most likely corresponds to the generation of alkylated products through reduction species, as demonstrated with the β-mercaptoethanol model. In conclusion, F-PDO thus acts as a novel (pro)-fluorescent probe for monitoring redox processes and protein alkylation in living cells.

Abstract
3-Benzylmenadiones were obtained in good yield by using a blue-light-induced photoredox process in the presence of Fe(III), oxygen, and γ-terpinene acting as a hydrogen-atom transfer agent. This methodology is compatible with a wide variety of diversely substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones as well as various cheap, readily available benzyl bromides with excellent functional group tolerance. The benzylation mechanism was investigated and supports a three-step radical cascade with the key involvement of the photogenerated superoxide anion radical.

Abstract
Plasmodione (PD) is a potent antimalarial redox-active 3-benzyl-menadione acting at low nanomolar range concentrations on different malaria parasite stages. The specific bioactivation of PD was proposed to occur via a cascade of redox reactions starting from one-electron reduction and then benzylic oxidation, leading to the generation of several key metabolites including corresponding benzylic alcohol (PD-bzol, for PD benzhydrol) and 3-benzoylmenadione (PDO, for PD oxide). In this study, we showed that the benzylic oxidation of PD is closely related to the formation of a benzylic semiquinone radical, which can be produced under two conditions: UV photoirradiation or catalysis by Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (PfFNR) redox cycling in the presence of oxygen and the parent PD. Electrochemical properties of both PD metabolites were investigated in DMSO and in water. The single-electron reduction potential values of PD, PD-bzol, PDO, and a series of 3-benzoylmenadiones were determined according to ascorbate oxidation kinetics. These compounds possess enhanced reactivity toward PfFNR as compared with model quinones. Optimal conditions were set up to obtain the best conversion of the starting PD to the corresponding metabolites. UV irradiation of PD in isopropanol under positive oxygen pressure led to an isolated yield of 31% PDO through the transient semiquinone species formed in a cascade of reactions. In the presence of PfFNR, PDO and PD-bzol could be observed during long lasting redox cycling of PD continuously fueled by NADPH regenerated by an enzymatic system. Finally, we observed and quantified the effect of PD on the production of oxidative stress in the apicoplast of transgenic 3D7[Api-roGFP2-hGrx1] P. falciparum parasites by using the described genetically encoded glutathione redox sensor hGrx1-roGFP2 methodology. The observed fast reactive oxygen species (ROS) pulse released in the apicoplast is proposed to be mediated by PD redox cycling catalyzed by PfFNR.

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.
