Abstract
Organic dyes that absorb light in the visible to near-infrared region have garnered significant interest, owing to their extensive utility in organic photovoltaics and various biomedical applications. Aza-boron-dipyrromethene (Aza-BODIPY) dyes are a class of chromophores with impressive photophysical properties such as tunable absorption from the visible region towards near infrared (NIR) region, high molar absorptivity, and fluorescence quantum yield. In this review, we discuss the developments in the aza-BODIPYs, related to their synthetic routes, photophysical properties and their applications. Their design strategies, modifications in chemical structures, mode/position of attachment, and their impact on photo-physical properties are reviewed. The potential applications of aza-BODIPY derivatives such as organic solar cells, photodynamic therapy, boron-neutron capture therapy, fluorescence sensors, photo-redox catalysis, photoacoustic probes and optoelectronic devices are explained.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer method due to its noninvasive features, high efficiency, and superior accuracy. The activated near-infrared upconversion photosensitizer has a high tissue penetration depth and could be explicitly released with minimal side effects. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of Br-substituted compounds (NFh-Br) based on the near-infrared upconversion hemicyanine dye. The heavy atomic effect improves the generation of 1O2 and upconversion luminous efficiency. Especially, NFh-Br11 exhibited an excellent 1O2 generation rate under 808 nm excitation and effectively killed tumor cells in vitro, and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-activatable photosensitizer (NFh-ALP) was obtained by modifying the NFh-Br11. NFh-ALP could be activated by ALP and release NFh-Br11, which induces apoptosis of tumor cells and has outstanding anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. This work could provide a strategy for designing activatable upconversion photosensitizers.

Abstract
A series of near-IR absorbing 2,6-diarylated BF2-chelated aza-boron-dipyrromethenes (aza-BDPs) derivatives bearing different electron donors (benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, phenothiazine and carbazole) were designed and synthesized. The effect of different electron donor substitutions on the photophysical properties was studied by steady-state UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, electrochemical, time-resolved nanosecond transient absorption (ns-TA) spectroscopy and theoretical computations. The UV-vis absorption spectra of AzaBDP-PTZ and AzaBDP-CAR (λabs=710 nm in toluene) showed a bathochromic absorption profile compared with the reference AzaBDP-Ph (λabs=685 nm in toluene), indicating the non-negligible electronic interaction at the ground state between donor and acceptor moieties. Moreover, the fluorescence is almost completely quenched for AzaBDP-PTZ/AzaBDP-CAR (fluorescence quantum yield, ΦF=0.2-0.7 % in toluene) as compared with the AzaBDP-Ph (ΦF=27 % in toluene). However, the apparent intersystem crossing ability of these compounds is poor, based on the singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ=0.3-1.5 %). The ns-TA spectral study showed typical Bodipy localized triplet state transient features, short-lived excited triplet state for AzaBDP-Ph (τT=53.2 μs) versus significantly long-lived triplet state for AzaBDP-CAR (τT=114 μs) was observed under deaerated experimental conditions. These triplet state lifetimes are much longer than that obtained with diiodoAzaBDP (intramolecular heavy atom effect, τT=1.5~7.2 μs). These information are useful for molecular structure design of triplet photosensitizers, for which longer triplet state lifetimes are usually desired. Theoretical computations displayed that the triplet state is mainly localized on the AzaBDP core, moreover, it was found that the HOMO/LUMO energy gap decreased after introducing donor moieties to the skeleton as compared with the reference.

Abstract
A series of naphtho[1,8-ef]isoindole-7,8,10(9H)-trione derivatives as novel theranostic agents for photodynamic therapy and multi-subcellular organelles localization were designed and synthesized. Most of them possess moderate fluorescence quantum yield and long wavelength absorption simultaneously, which made them possible for dual effects of imaging and therapy. Notably, compounds 7 b and 7 d exhibited significant light-toxicity but slight dark-toxicity. Confocal fluorescence microscopy experiments demonstrated that compound 7 b can locate and image in special multi-subcellular organelles. All the research results implied that naphtho[1,8-ef] isoindole-7,8,10(9H)-trione derivatives can be applied as a new series of theranostic agents with the characteristics of photodynamic therapy and multi-subcellular organelles imaging.

Abstract
Thiophene-containing photosensitizers are gaining recognition for their role in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the inherent reactivity of the thiophene moiety toward singlet oxygen threatens the stability and efficiency of these photosensitizers. This study presents a novel mathematical model capable of predicting the reactivity of thiophene toward singlet oxygen in PDT, using Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) and genetic programming. The research combines advanced computational methods, including various DFT techniques and symbolic regression, and is validated with experimental data. The findings underscore the capacity of the model to classify photosensitizers based on their photodynamic efficiency and safety, particularly noting that photosensitizers with a constant rate 1000 times lower than that of unmodified thiophene retain their photodynamic performance without substantial singlet oxygen quenching. Additionally, the research offers insights into the impact of electronic effects on thiophene reactivity. Finally, this study significantly advances thiophene-based photosensitizer design, paving the way for therapeutic agents that achieve a desirable balance between efficiency and safety in PDT.

Abstract
Developing effective near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizers (PSs) has been an attractive goal of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment. In this study, we synthesized N, N-diethylaminomethylphenyl-containing Aza-BODIPY photosensitizers and comprehensively investigated their photophysical/photochemical properties, as well as cell-based and animal-based anti-tumor studies. Among them, BDP 1 has strong NIR absorption at 680 nm and higher singlet oxygen yield in PBS which showed favorable pH-activatable and lysosome-targeting ability. BDP 1 could be easily taken up by tumor cells and showed negligible dark activity (IC50 > 50 μM), however strong phototoxicity upon exposure to light irradiation. The acceptable fluorescence emission from BDP 1 allowed convenient in vivo fluorescence imaging for organ distribution studies in mice. After PDT treatment with upon single time PDT treatment at the beginning using relatively low light dose (54 J/ cm2), BDP 1 (2 mg/kg, 0.1 mL) was found to have strong efficacy to inhibit tumor growth and even to ablate off tumor without causing body weight loss. Therefore, pH-activatable and lysosome-targeted PS may become an effective way to develop potent PDT agent.

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
The discovery of new photosensitizer drugs with long wavelength Uv-vis absorption, high efficiency and low side-effects is still a challenge in photodynamic therapy. Here a series of novel meso-substitutedphenyl thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-fused BODIPY derivatives were designed, synthesized and characterized. All these compounds have strong absorption at 640-680 nm and obvious fluorescence emission at 650-760 nm. They exhibited high singlet oxygen generation ability and significant photodynamic efficiency against Eca-109 cancer cells. Compounds II4, II6, II9, II10 and II13 could generate intracellular ROS and induce cell apoptosis after laser irradiation, which displayed superior photodynamic efficiency against Eca-109 cells than Temoporfin in vitro and in vivo. Among them, compound II4 specifically exhibited excellent anti-tumor efficacy, and could be selected as a new drug candidate for PDT.

Abstract
Current therapeutic approaches to cancer are not fully effective, and so development of more effective treatment is needed. Auger-electron therapy and photodynamic therapy have attracted marked attentions as a promising strategy in cancer treatment. In this study, we synthesized [125I]BH-2/BH-2, which comprised Hoechst and 2,6-diiodo-substituted BODIPY, and evaluated its usefulness as a bi-modal agent for Auger-electron/photodynamic therapy by comparison with the previously reported compound [125I]BH/BH. [125I]BH-2 was obtained at a 13% radiochemical yield. [125I]BH-2 showed similar uptake into the nucleus to [125I]BH, suggesting that Hoechst can function as a nuclear localization tag. HeLa cell viabilities were reduced in both cells exposed to [125I]BH-2 and [125I]BH. γ-H2AX foci in HeLa cells exposed to [125I]BH-2 or [125I]BH were increased in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that DNA double-strand breaks may have occurred. No significant difference was observed between [125I]BH-2 and [125I]BH at these investigations. For PDT application, BH-2 showed a higher singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) and caused superior photo-induced cytotoxicity in HeLa cells compared with BH. These results suggest that bi-modal [125I]BH-2/BH-2 can cause anti-tumor effects with Auger-electron and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
With an objective to develop efficient photosensitizers to cancerous tissues, we synthesized two novel biocompatible sensitizers based on aza-BODIPYs incorporated with heavy atoms and biotin moieties. The bioconjugates DPR2a and DPR2b exhibited a favorable absorption range (600-750 nm) with excellent triplet-state quantum yields (up to 79%) and singlet oxygen generation yields (up to 75%). In vitro photobiological investigations employing MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines exhibited rapid cellular uptake, negligible dark toxicity, and high photocytotoxicity. The mechanism of cell death of these systems was predominantly due to the mitochondrial damage, leading to apoptosis mediated via the generation of singlet oxygen-triggered reactive oxygen species. The in vivo studies with the representative conjugate DPR2a employing female NOD/SCID mice models showed inhibition in tumor growth and significantly decreased tumor volume post photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment. Our results validate that both DPR2a and DPR2b with iodine incorporation exhibit favorable and superior photophysical and photobiological aspects and demonstrate thereby their potential applications in imaging and PDT of cancer.

Automated radiosynthesis and in vivo evaluation of 18F-labeled analog of the photosensitizer ADPM06 for planning photodynamic therapy. EJNMMI Radiopharm Chem 2023; 8:14. [PMID: 37458904 DOI: 10.1186/s41181-023-00199-y] [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: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A family of BF2-chelated tetraaryl-azadipyrromethenes was developed as non-porphyrin photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. Among the developed photosensitizers, ADPM06 exhibited excellent photochemical and photophysical properties. Molecular imaging is a useful tool for photodynamic therapy planning and monitoring. Radiolabeled photosensitizers can efficiently address photosensitizer biodistribution, providing helpful information for photodynamic therapy planning. To evaluate the biodistribution of ADPM06 and predict its pharmacokinetics on photodynamic therapy with light irradiation immediately after administration, we synthesized [18F]ADPM06 and evaluated its in vivo properties. RESULTS [18F]ADPM06 was automatically synthesized by Lewis acid-assisted isotopic 18F-19F exchange using ADPM06 and tin (IV) chloride at room temperature for 10 min. Radiolabeling was carried out using 0.4 μmol of ADPM06 and 200 μmol of tin (IV) chloride. The radiosynthesis time was approximately 60 min, and the radiochemical purity was > 95% at the end of the synthesis. The decay-corrected radiochemical yield from [18F]F- at the start of synthesis was 13 ± 2.7% (n = 5). In the biodistribution study of male ddY mice, radioactivity levels in the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney, small intestine, muscle, and brain gradually decreased over 120 min after the initial uptake. The mean radioactivity level in the thighbone was the highest among all organs investigated and increased for 120 min after injection. Upon co-injection with ADPM06, the radioactivity levels in the blood and brain significantly increased, whereas those in the heart, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, small intestine, muscle, and thighbone of male ddY mice were not affected. In the metabolite analysis of the plasma at 30 min post-injection in female BALB/c-nu/nu mice, the percentage of radioactivity corresponding to [18F]ADPM06 was 76.3 ± 1.6% (n = 3). In a positron emission tomography study using MDA-MB-231-HTB-26 tumor-bearing mice (female BALB/c-nu/nu), radioactivity accumulated in the bone at a relatively high level and in the tumor at a moderate level for 60 min after injection. CONCLUSIONS We synthesized [18F]ADPM06 using an automated 18F-labeling synthesizer and evaluated the initial uptake and pharmacokinetics of ADPM06 using biodistribution of [18F]ADPM06 in mice to guide photodynamic therapy with light irradiation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy, an alternative that has gained weight and popularity compared to current conventional therapies in the treatment of cancer, is a minimally invasive therapeutic strategy that generally results from the simultaneous action of three factors: a molecule with high sensitivity to light, the photosensitizer, molecular oxygen in the triplet state, and light energy. There is much to be said about each of these three elements; however, the efficacy of the photosensitizer is the most determining factor for the success of this therapeutic modality. Porphyrins, chlorins, phthalocyanines, boron-dipyrromethenes, and cyanines are some of the N-heterocycle-bearing dyes' classes with high biological promise. In this review, a concise approach is taken to these and other families of potential photosensitizers and the molecular modifications that have recently appeared in the literature within the scope of their photodynamic application, as well as how these compounds and their formulations may eventually overcome the deficiencies of the molecules currently clinically used and revolutionize the therapies to eradicate or delay the growth of tumor cells.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms pose a serious threat to human health, as they prevent the penetration of antimicrobial agents. Developing nanocarriers that can simultaneously permeate biofilms and deliver antibacterial agents is an attractive means of treating bacterial biofilm infections. Herein, photosensitive metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles were developed to promote the penetration of antibiotics into biofilms, thereby achieving the goal of eradicating bacterial biofilms through synergistic photodynamic and antibiotic therapy. First, a ligand containing benzoselenadiazole was synthesized and incorporated into MOF skeletons to construct benzoselenadiazole-doped MOFs (Se-MOFs). The growth of the Se-MOFs could be regulated to obtain nanoparticles (Se-NPs) in the presence of benzoic acid. The singlet oxygen (1O2) generation efficiencies of the Se-MOFs and Se-NPs were evaluated. The results show that the Se-NPs exhibited a higher 1O2 generation efficacy than the Se-MOF under visible-light irradiation because the small size of the Se-NPs was conducive to the diffusion of 1O2. Afterward, an antibiotic drug, polymyxin B (PMB), was conjugated onto the surface of the Se-NPs via amidation to yield PMB-modified Se-NPs (PMB-Se-NPs). PMB-Se-NPs exhibit a synergistic antibacterial effect by specifically targeting the lipopolysaccharides present in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria through surface-modified PMB. Benefiting from the synergistic therapeutic effects of antibiotic and photodynamic therapy, PMB-Se-NPs can efficiently eradicate bacterial biofilms at relatively low antibiotic doses and light intensities, providing a promising nanocomposite for combating biofilm infections.

Abstract
Aza-boron-dipyrromethenes (Aza-BODIPYs) represent an important class of chromophores absorbing and emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region. They have unique optical and electronic features and higher physiological and photo stability than other NIR dyes. Especially after the development of facile synthetic routes, Aza-BODIPYs have become indispensable fluors that can find various applications ranging from chemosensors, bioimaging, phototherapy, solar energy materials, photocatalysis, photon upconversion, lasers, and optoelectronics. Herein, we review Aza-BODIPY based fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors. We show the potential and untapped toolbox of Aza-BODIPY based fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors. Hence, we divide the fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors and probes into five sections according to the target analytes. The first section begins with the chemosensors developed for pH. Next, we discuss Aza-BODIPY based ion sensors, including metal ions and anions. Finally, we present the chemosensors and probes concerning reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) along with biologically relevant species in the last two sections. We believe that Aza-BODIPYs are still in their infancy, and they have a promising future for translation from the bench to real biomedical and materials science applications. After two decades of intensive research, it seems that there are many more to come in this already fertile field. Overall, we hope that future work will further expand the applications of Aza-BODIPY in many areas.

Abstract
Broad antiviral activity in vitro is known for many organic photosensitizers generating reactive oxygen species under irradiation with visible light. Low tissue penetration of visible light prevents further development of antiviral therapeutics based on these compounds. One possible solution to this problem is the development of photosensitizers with near-infrared absorption (NIR dyes). These compounds found diverse applications in the photodynamic therapy of tumors and bacterial infections, but they are scarcely mentioned as antivirals. In this account, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic prospects of various NIR-absorbing and singlet oxygen-generating chromophores for the development of broad-spectrum photosensitizing antivirals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of a potent photosensitizer with desirable immunogenic cell death (ICD) ability can prominently enhance antitumor immunity in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, majority of commercially-available photosensitizers suffer from serious aggregation and fail to elicit sufficient ICD. Pyroptosis as a newly identified pattern for potent ICD generation is rarely disclosed in reported photosensitizers. In addition, the photosensitizer with excellent mitochondria-anchored ability evokes prominent mitochondria oxidative stress, and consequently induces ICD. RESULTS Herein, a novel supramolecular photosensitizer LDH@ZnPc is reported, without complicated preparation, but reveals desirable pyroptosis-triggered ability with mitochondria anchoring feature. LDH@ZnPc is obtained through isolation of ZnPc using positive charged layered double hydroxides (LDH), and excellent mitochondria-anchored ability is achieved. More importantly, LDH@ZnPc-mediated PDT can effectively initiate gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pyroptosis of tumor cells. In vitro and in vivo results verify robust ICD ability and potent tumor inhibition efficacy, and antitumor immunity towards distant tumor inhibition. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals that LDH@ZnPc can act as an excellent pyroptosis inducer with simultaneous mitochondria anchoring ability for enhancing photodynamic therapy and boosting antitumor immunity.

Abstract
By the introduction of the −tBu groups into aza-BODIPY core, di-tert-butyl-substituted aza-BODIPYs at 3,5-sites (tBuazaBDPs) were prepared for the first time. Based on the X-ray analysis of CN-tBuazaBDP, this molecular structure is twisted. Near-infrared dye SMe-tBuazaBDP has the ultra-large Stokes shift (152 nm) in aza-BODIPY system, combining with the twisted intramolecular charge transfer and the free rotation of the −tBu groups at 3,5-sites. Although the barrier-free rotors of the distal −tBu groups in SMe-tBuazaBDP result in low fluorescence quantum yield, the photothermal conversion efficiency is markedly enhanced. SMe-tBuazaBDP nanoparticles with low power laser irradiation were proven to block cancer cell cycle, inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and induce cancer cell apoptosis in photothermal therapy (PTT). The strategy of “direct attachment of −tBu groups to aza-BODIPY core” gives a new design platform for a photothermal therapy agent. Di-tert-butyl-substituted aza-BODIPYs at 3,5-sites (tBuazaBDPs) were prepared for the first time. Near-infrared dye SMe-tBuazaBDP has the ultra-large Stokes shift (152 nm) in aza-BODIPY system. SMe-tBuazaBDP nanoparticles can photothermally induce apoptosis as a potential photothermal therapy agent.

Abstract
Dual-imaging agents with highly sensitive fluorescence (FL) imaging and highly selective fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI) are valuable for biomedical research. At the same time, photosensitizers with a high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating capability are crucial for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Herein, a series of tetra-trifluoromethylated aza-boron dipyrromethenes (aza-BODIPYs) were conveniently synthesized from readily available building blocks and their physicochemical properties, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption, FL emission, photothermal efficacy, ROS generating efficacy, and 19F MRI sensitivity, were systematically investigated. An aza-BODIPY with 12 symmetrical fluorines was identified as a potent FL-19F MRI dual-imaging traceable photodynamic agent. It was found that the selective introduction of trifluoromethyl (CF3) groups into aza-BODIPYs may considerably improve their UV absorption, FL emission, photothermal efficacy, and ROS generating properties, which lays the foundation for the rational design of trifluoromethylated aza-BODIPYs in biomedical applications.

Charged groups on pyropheophorbide-based photosensitizers dictate uptake by tumor cells and photodynamic therapy efficacy. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 227:112375. [PMID: 34968800 PMCID: PMC8816894 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2021.112375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of anionic and cationic substituents of the pyropheophorbide-based photosensitizers (PS) on uptake and retention by tumor epithelial cells and photodynamic therapy (PDT). A series of PSs were generated that bear carboxylic acid functionalities, alkyl amines with variable length of carbon units or as a quaternary ammonium salt introduced at position 172 of 3-(1'-hexyloxy)ethyl-3-devinylpyropheophorbide-a (HPPH). The nature of the functionalities in the macrocycle made a significant difference in overall lipophilicity (log D values at pH 7.4), and in binding to and retention by human and murine tumor cells. Depending on the presence of functional groups, the PSs showed a change in cellular uptake from diffusion to endocytosis and in the preference for subcellular localization to mitochondria/ER or lysosomes. Two and more carboxylic groups drastically reduced uptake by all cell types. In contrast, PSs with amine and quaternary amine salt showed higher cellular binding, uptake and in vitro PDT efficacy than HPPH. The enhanced cellular uptake of the cationic PSs was accompanied by a loss of tumor cell specificity and contributed to severe systemic toxicity in tumor-bearing mice intravenously injected with the PS and subjected to investigate their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
1,7-Di-tert-butyl-substituted aza-BODIPYs (tBu-azaBDP) were successfully obtained for the first time. The structures of tBu-azaBDP and Ph-azaBDP were confirmed by X-ray crystal analysis, and tBu-azaBDP 2 is more twisted than Ph-azaBDP 5. tBu-azaBDPs have significant photo-stability and enhanced water solubility. tBu-azaBDPs possess excellent optical properties, such as high molar extinction coefficients, broad full width half maxima, and large Stokes shifts, which is comparable to those of the parent dye Ph-azaBDP. Although the low-barrier rotation of the distal -tBu groups in tBu-azaBDPs results in low quantum yield, photothermal conversion efficiency and singlet oxygen generation ability of tBu-azaBDPs are more effective than those of Ph-azaBDP, which is highly desirable for a photothermal-photodynamic therapy agent.

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
Commonly, an efficient photosensitizer usually requires a number of excellent properties, such as a larger molar absorption coefficient in the tissue transparency window, a high intersystem spin-crossing (ISC) probability induced by heavy atom and low dark toxicity as well as high photostability. In this study, NIR tetra-bromo thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-fused BODIPYs derivatives 3 was prepared, and fully characterized. Their photophysical properties have been well investigated including absorption, fluorescence profiles and photostability. The novel BODIPYs 2-3 possess long wavelength absorptions of maximum up to 720 nm with large molar absorption coefficients due to extend the effect of π-conjugation system via fusion the thieno[3,2-b]thiophene group. Especially, BODIPY 3 containing heavy atoms (four bromine atoms) exhibits photocytotoxicity upon irradiation with light NIR laser based on the results of MTT assays and flow analyses in living HeLa cells, in the meanwhile, it features lower cytotoxic in the dark. The current research work will contribute to the development of functional dyes and new organic NIR photosensitizer agents.
