Abstract
Developing the second near-infrared (NIR-II) photoacoustic (PA) agent is of great interest in bioimaging. Ag2Se quantum dots (QDs) are one kind of potential probe for applications in NIR-II photoacoustic imaging (PAI). However, the surfaces with excess anions of Ag2Se QDs, which increase the probability of nonradiative transitions of excitons benefiting PA imaging, are not conducive to binding electron donor ligands for potential biolabeling and imaging. In this study, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) cells are driven for the biosynthesis of Ag2Se QDs with catalase (CAT). Biosynthesized Ag2Se (bio-Ag2Se-CAT) QDs are produced in Se-enriched environment of S. aureus and have a high Se-rich surface. The photothermal conversion efficiency of bio-Ag2Se-CAT QDs at 808 and 1064 nm is calculated as 75.3% and 51.7%, respectively. Additionally, the PA signal responsiveness of bio-Ag2Se-CAT QDs is ≈10 times that of the commercial PA contrast agent indocyanine green. In particular, the bacterial CAT is naturally attached to bio-Ag2Se-CAT QDs surface, which can effectively relieve tumor hypoxia. The bio-Ag2Se-CAT QDs can relieve heat-initiated oxidative stress while undergoing effective photothermal therapy (PTT). Such biosynthesis method of NIR-II bio-Ag2Se-CAT QDs opens a new avenue for developing multifunctional nanomaterials, showing great promise for PAI, hypoxia alleviation, and PTT.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic plaque formation is considered the primary pathological mechanism underlying atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, leading to severe cardiovascular events such as stroke, acute coronary syndromes, and even sudden cardiac death. Early detection and timely intervention of plaques are challenging due to the lack of typical symptoms in the initial stages. Therefore, precise early detection and intervention play a crucial role in risk stratification of atherosclerotic plaques and achieving favorable post-interventional outcomes. The continuously advancing nanoplatforms have demonstrated numerous advantages including high signal-to-noise ratio, enhanced bioavailability, and specific targeting capabilities for imaging agents and therapeutic drugs, enabling effective visualization and management of atherosclerotic plaques. Motivated by these superior properties, various noninvasive imaging modalities for early recognition of plaques in the preliminary stage of atherosclerosis are comprehensively summarized. Additionally, several therapeutic strategies are proposed to enhance the efficacy of treating atherosclerotic plaques. Finally, existing challenges and promising prospects for accelerating clinical translation of nanoplatform-based molecular imaging and therapy for atherosclerotic plaques are discussed. In conclusion, this review provides an insightful perspective on the diagnosis and therapy of atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Novel strategies utilizing light in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II; 900-1,880 nm wavelengths) offer the potential to visualize and treat solid tumours with enhanced precision. Over the past few decades, numerous techniques leveraging NIR-II light have been developed with the aim of precisely eliminating tumours while maximally preserving organ function. During cancer surgery, NIR-II optical imaging enables the visualization of clinically occult lesions and surrounding vital structures with increased sensitivity and resolution, thereby enhancing surgical quality and improving patient prognosis. Furthermore, the use of NIR-II light promises to improve cancer phototherapy by enabling the selective delivery of increased therapeutic energy to tissues at greater depths. Initial clinical studies of NIR-II-based imaging and phototherapy have indicated impressive potential to decrease cancer recurrence, reduce complications and prolong survival. Despite the encouraging results achieved, clinical translation of innovative NIR-II techniques remains challenging and inefficient; multidisciplinary cooperation is necessary to bridge the gap between preclinical research and clinical practice, and thus accelerate the translation of technical advances into clinical benefits. In this Review, we summarize the available clinical data on NIR-II-based imaging and phototherapy, demonstrating the feasibility and utility of integrating these technologies into the treatment of cancer. We also introduce emerging NIR-II-based approaches with substantial potential to further enhance patient outcomes, while also highlighting the challenges associated with imminent clinical studies of these modalities.

Abstract
Due to the reduced absorption, light scattering, and tissue autofluorescence in the NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, significant efforts are underway to explore diverse material platforms for in vivo fluorescence imaging, particularly for cancer diagnostics and image-guided interventions. Of the reported imaging agents, nanoparticles derived from conjugated polymers (CPNs) offer unique advantages to alternative materials including biocompatibility, remarkable absorption cross-sections, exceptional photostability, and tunable emission behavior independent of cell labeling functionalities. Herein, the current state of NIR-II emitting CPNs are summarized and structure-function-property relationships are highlighted that can be used to elevate the performance of next-generation CPNs. Methods for particle processing and incorporating cancer targeting modalities are discussed, as well as detailed characterization methods to improve interlaboratory comparisons of novel materials. Contemporary methods to specifically apply CPNs for cancer diagnostics and therapies are then highlighted. This review not only summarizes the current state of the field, but offers future directions and provides clarity to the advantages of CPNs over other classes of imaging agents.

Abstract
This comprehensive review examines the immense capacity of nanowires, nanostructures characterized by unbounded dimensions, to profoundly transform the field of biomedicine. Nanowires, which are created by combining several materials using techniques such as electrospinning and vapor deposition, possess distinct mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. As a result, they are well-suited for use in nanoscale electronic devices, drug delivery systems, chemical sensors, and other applications. The utilization of techniques such as the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) approach and template-assisted approaches enables the achievement of precision in synthesis. This precision allows for the customization of characteristics, which in turn enables the capability of intracellular sensing and accurate drug administration. Nanowires exhibit potential in biomedical imaging, neural interfacing, and tissue engineering, despite obstacles related to biocompatibility and scalable manufacturing. They possess multifunctional capabilities that have the potential to greatly influence the intersection of nanotechnology and healthcare. Surmounting present obstacles has the potential to unleash the complete capabilities of nanowires, leading to significant improvements in diagnostics, biosensing, regenerative medicine, and next-generation point-of-care medicines.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a significant pathological event involving the neurodegenerative process associated with many neurological disorders. Diagnosis and treatment of neuroinflammation in its early stage are essential for the prevention and management of neurological diseases. Herein, we designed macrophage membrane-coated photoacoustic (PA) probes (MSINPs), with targeting specificities based on naturally existing target-ligand interactions for the early diagnosis of neuroinflammation. The second near-infrared dye, IR1061, was doped into silica as the core and was encapsulated with a macrophage membrane. In vitro as well as in vivo, the MSINPs could target inflammatory cells via the inflammation chemotactic effect. PA imaging was used to trace the MSINPs in a neuroinflammation mouse model and showed a great targeted effect of MSINPs in the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, the biomimetic nanoprobe prepared in this study offers a new strategy for PA molecular imaging of neuroinflammation, which can enhance our understanding of the evolution of neuroinflammation in specific brain regions.

Abstract
Fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window has garnered massive interest owing to high maximum permissible exposure of light, reduced autofluorescence, and improved deep penetration. However, active targeted NIR-II photoacoustic/NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging of glioma under NIR-II excitation has been seldom reported, which is partly ascribable to the lack of suitable materials. In this study, a small-molecule-based αvβ3-targeted NIR-II photoacoustic/NIR-IIa fluorescent probe IR-32p was generated and subsequently evaluated in U87MG tumor-bearing mice excited with NIR-I and NIR-II light. Exceptional dual-modal imaging properties such as good tumor uptake, high targeting specificity, and high tumor contrast were achieved in an orthotopic glioma model under 1020/1064 nm excitation, exhibiting a superior imaging depth of glioma through the skull. Our study introduces an outstanding dual-modal contrast agent with NIR-II absorption and confirms the superiority of NIR-II excitation over NIR-I in in vivo NIR-II/PA imaging.

Curr Drug Deliv 2024; 21:1128-1141. [PMID: 37592787 DOI: 10.2174/1567201821666230817122011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Among various materials designed for anticancer drug transport, sulfide nanoparticles are uniquely intriguing owing to their spectral characteristics. Exploration of newer nanoscale copper sulfide particles with dysprosium doping is reported herein. It leads to a change in the physicochemical properties of the sulfide nanoparticles and hence the difference in drug release and cytotoxicity. OBJECTIVE We intend to purport the suitably engineered cobalt sulfide and dysprosium-doped cobalt sulfide nanoparticles that are magnetic and NIR-absorbing, as drug delivery vehicles. The drug loading and release are based on the supramolecular drug complex formation on the surface of the nanoparticles. METHOD The nanomaterials are synthesized employing hydrothermal procedures, coated with a biocompatible poly-β-cyclodextrin, and characterized using the methods of diffractometry, microscopy, spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and magnetometry. The sustained drug release is investigated in vitro. 5-Fluorouracil is loaded in the nanocarriers. The empty and 5-fluorouracil-loaded nanocarriers are screened for their anti-breast cancer activity in vitro on MCF-7 cells. RESULTS The size of the nanoparticles is below 10 nm. They show soft ferromagnetic characteristics. Further, they show broad NIR absorption bands extending up to 1200 nm, with the dysprosium-doped material displaying greater absorbance. The drug 5-fluorouracil is encapsulated in the nanocarriers and released sustainably, with the expulsion duration extending over 10 days. The IC50 of the blank and the drug-loaded cobalt sulfide are 16.24 ± 3.6 and 12.2 ± 2.6 μg mL-1, respectively. For the drug-loaded, dysprosium-doped nanocarrier, the IC50 value is 9.7 ± 0.3 μg mL-1. CONCLUSION The ultrasmall nanoparticles possess a size suitable for drug delivery and are dispersed well in the aqueous medium. The release of the loaded 5-fluorouracil is slow and sustained. The anticancer activity of the drug-loaded nanocarrier shows an increase in efficacy, and the cytotoxicity is appreciable due to the controlled release. The nanocarriers show multi-functional characteristics, i.e., magnetic and NIR-absorbing, and are promising drug delivery agents.

Abstract
Bacterial infection becomes a severe threat to human life and health worldwide. Antibiotics with the ability to resist pathogenic bacteria are therefore widely used, but the misuse or abuse of antibiotics can generate multidrug-resistant bacteria or resistant biofilms. Advanced antibacterial technologies are needed to counter the rapid emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. With the excellent optical properties, engineerable surface chemistry, neglectable biotoxicity, gold nanocrystals are particularly attractive in biomedicine for cancer therapy and antibacterial therapy, as well as nanoprobes for bioimaging and disease diagnosis. In this perspective, gold nanocrystal-based antibacterial performance and deep-tissue imaging are summarized, including near-infrared-light excited photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging through deep tissue infections. On the basis of integrating "imaging-therapy-targeting" in single nanotheranostic, the current challenges of imaging-guided antibacterial and therapy based on gold nanocrystals are discussed, and some insights are provided into the gold nanocrystal-based nanoplatform that integrates antibacterial activity and therapy. This perspective is expected to provide comprehensive guidance for diagnosing and combating bacterial infections based on gold nanostructures.

Small-Molecule Phototheranostic Agent with Extended π-Conjugation for Efficient NIR-II Photoacoustic-Imaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2307829.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) conducted over the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) window offer the benefits of noninvasiveness and deep tissue penetration. This necessitates the development of highly effective therapeutic agents with NIR-II photoresponsivity. Currently, the predominant organic diagnostic agents used in NIR-II PAI-guided PTT are conjugated polymeric materials. However, they exhibit a low in vivo clearance rate and long-term biotoxicity, limiting their clinical translation. In this study, an organic small molecule (CY-1234) with NIR-II absorption and nanoencapsulation (CY-1234 nanoparticles (NPs)) for PAI-guided PTT is reported. Extended π-conjugation is achieved in the molecule by introducing donor-acceptor units at both ends of the molecule. Consequently, CY-1234 exhibits a maximum absorption peak at 1234 nm in tetrahydrofuran. Nanoaggregates of CY-1234 are synthesized via F-127 encapsulation. They exhibit an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 76.01% upon NIR-II light irradiation. After intravenous injection of CY-1234 NPs into tumor-bearing mice, strong PA signals and excellent tumor ablation are observed under 1064 nm laser irradiation. This preliminary study can pave the way for the development of small-molecule organic nanoformulations for future clinical applications.

JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL OPTICS 2023; 28:082803.

Abstract
Significance X-ray imaging is frequently used for gastrointestinal imaging. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) of the gastrointestinal tract is an emerging approach that has been demonstrated for preclinical imaging of small animals. A contrast agent active in both modalities could be useful for imaging applications. Aim We aimed to develop a dual-modality contrast agent comprising an admixture of barium sulfate with pigments that absorb light in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II), for preclinical imaging with both x-ray and PAI modalities. Approach Eleven different NIR-II dyes were evaluated after admixture with a 40% w/v barium sulfate mixture. The resulting NIR-II absorption in the soluble fraction and in the total mixture was characterized. Proof-of-principle imaging studies in mice were carried out. Results Pigments that produced more uniform suspensions were assessed further for photoacoustic contrast signal at a wavelength of 1064 nm that corresponds to the output of the Nd:YAG laser used. Phantom imaging studies demonstrated that the pigment-barium sulfate mixture generated imaging contrast in both x-ray and PAI modalities. The optimal pigment selected for further study was a cyanine tetrafluoroborate salt. Ex-vivo and whole-body mouse imaging demonstrated that photoacoustic and x-ray contrast signals co-localized in the intestines for both imaging modalities. Conclusion These data demonstrate that commercially-available NIR-II pigments can simply be admixed with barium sulfate to generate a dual-modality contrast agent appropriate for small animal gastrointestinal imaging.

Biomimetic Theranostic Agents with Superior NIR-II Photoacoustic and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Performance for Targeted Photothermal Therapy of Prostate Cancer. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:1617. [PMID: 37376066 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15061617] [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: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The accurate diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer at an early stage is crucial to reduce mortality rates. However, the limited availability of theranostic agents with active tumor-targeting abilities hinders imaging sensitivity and therapeutic efficiency. To address this challenge, we have developed biomimetic cell membrane-modified Fe2O3 nanoclusters implanted in polypyrrole (CM-LFPP), achieving photoacoustic/magnetic resonance dual-modal imaging-guided photothermal therapy of prostate cancer. The CM-LFPP exhibits strong absorption in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm), showing high photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 78.7% under 1064 nm laser irradiation, excellent photoacoustic imaging capabilities, and good magnetic resonance imaging ability with a T2 relaxivity of up to 48.7 s-1 mM-1. Furthermore, the lipid encapsulation and biomimetic cell membrane modification enable CM-LFPP to actively target tumors, leading to a high signal-to-background ratio of ~30.2 for NIR-II photoacoustic imaging. Moreover, the biocompatible CM-LFPP enables low-dose (0.6 W cm-2) photothermal therapy of tumors under 1064 nm laser irradiation. This technology offers a promising theranostic agent with remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency in the NIR-II window, providing highly sensitive photoacoustic/magnetic resonance imaging-guided prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) have received increasing attention owing to their advantages of greater penetration depth and higher signal-to-noise ratio. Plasmonic nanomaterials with tunable optical properties and strong light absorption provide an alternative to dye molecules, showing great prospects for phototheranostic applications. In this review, the research progress in principally modulating the optical properties of plasmonic nanomaterials, especially affecting parameters such as size, morphology, and surface chemical modification, is introduced. The commonly used plasmonic nanomaterials in the NIR-II window, including noble metals, semiconductors, and heterostructures, are then summarized. In addition, the biomedical applications of these NIR-II plasmonic nanomaterials for PAI and PTT in phototheranostics are highlighted. Finally, the perspectives and challenges for advancing plasmonic nanomaterials for practical use and clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has gained more and more attention in recent years and showed great potential in the field of bioimaging. Until now, numerous materials have been developed as contrast agents for NIR-II PA imaging. Among them, small molecule dyes hold unique advantages such as definite structures and capability of fast clearance from body. By virtue of these advantages, small molecule dyes-constructed nanoparticles have relatively small size and show promise in the clinical translation. Thus, in this minireview, we summarize recent advances in small molecule dyes-based nanotheranostics for NIR-II PA imaging and cancer therapy. Studies about NIR-II PA imaging-guided phototherapy are first introduced. Then, NIR-II PA imaging-guided phototherapy-based combination therapeutic systems are reviewed. Finally, the conclusion and perspectives of this field are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Persistent radicals have attracted increasing attention owing to their fascinating properties, including multi-step redox and long-wavelength absorption characteristics. In this study, boron complexes with π-extended nitroxide ligands were synthesised via Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions of the corresponding boron-nitroxide complex and diarylamines. These nitroxide complexes exhibited two-step and reversible one-electron oxidation processes, suggesting stable redox triads involving anionic aminoxide, neutral nitroxide-radical, and cationic oxoammonium ligands. Cationic boron complexes of the nitroxide radical ligands were obtained via chemical oxidation of the aminoxide complexes and structurally characterised. The cationic nitroxide-radical complexes exhibited strong absorptions at approximately 1100 nm, demonstrating their potential as near-infrared (NIR)-II-active functional dyes.
