[PMID: 38893414 PMCID: PMC11173947 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29112538] [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: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Perylenediimides (PDIs) are composed of a central perylene ring, on which are grafted two imide groups at the peri positions. Thionated PDIs are characterized by the substitution of one or more oxygen atoms of these imide functions with sulfur atoms. This structural modification alters the electronic properties with a redshift of the optical absorption accompanied by modification of the charge transport characteristics compared to their non-thionated counterparts. These properties make them suitable candidates for applications in optoelectronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes and organic photovoltaics. Moreover, the presence of sulfur atom(s) can favor the promotion of reactive oxygen species production for photodynamic and photothermal therapies. These thionated PDIs can be synthesized through the post-functionalization of PDIs by using a sulfurizing reagent. Nevertheless, the main drawbacks remain the difficulties in adjusting the degree of thionation and obtaining tri- and tetrathionated PDIs. Up to now, this thionation reaction has been described almost exclusively using Lawesson's reagent. In the current study, we present our first investigations into an alternative reagent to enhance selectivity and achieve a greater degree of thionation. The association of phosphorus pentasulfide with hexamethyldisiloxane (Curphey's reagent) clearly demonstrated higher reactivity compared with Lawesson's reagent to attain multi-thionated PDIs.

Abstract
Isatis tinctoria and its indigo dyes have already provided highly active anti-leukaemic lead compounds, with the focus mainly being on indirubin, whereas indigo itself is inactive. There are many more indigoids to find in this plant extract, for example, quingdainone, an indigoid derived from tryptanthrin. We present here a new synthesis of hitherto neglected substituted quingdainones, which is very necessary due to their poor solubility behaviour, and a structure-dependent anti-leukaemic activity study of a number of compounds. Substituted α-phenylaminoacrylic acid was synthesised by hydrogen sulfide extrusion from an analogue mercaptoacetic acid, available from the condensation of rhodanin and a substituted tryptanthrin. It is shown that just improving water solubility does not increase anti-leukaemic activity, since a quingdainone carboxylic acid is inactive compared to dihydroxyquingdainone. The most effective compound, dihydroxyquingdainone with an AC50 of 7.5 µmole, is further characterised, revealing its ability to overcome multidrug resistance in leukaemia cells (Nalm-6/BeKa) with p-glycoprotein expression.

Abstract
Covalently attached perylene monolayers serve as back contacts for Sb2S3 photoelectrochemical cells with a thianthrene+/0 front, rectifying contact. Covalent attachment of perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, PTCDA, to Si(111) utilizes an anhydride-to-imide conversion at surface-attached amines. For Sb2S3 solar absorbers, we hypothesized that a terminal thioperylene anhydride, i.e., S=C-O-C=S, formed from thionation of the terminal perylene anhydride would serve as a soft, electron-selective and hole-blocking back contact. We explored several routes to convert carbonyls to thiocarbonyls on surface-attached perylene anhydrides including Lawesson's reagent, P4S10, and a P4S10-pyridine complex. Here, P4S10 in toluene yielded the highest conversion as quantified by thioperylene-anhydride-S-to-imide-N ratios in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Spectra demonstrated minimal residual reagent as determined by the absence of quantifiable phosphorus following sonication and rinsing. Photoelectrochemistry yielded an average |V oc| = 840 ± 90 mV with the highest value of 952 mV under ELH-simulated AM1.5G illumination for chemical-bath-deposited Sb2S3 in the strongly oxidizing thianthrene+/0 redox couple when thioperylene-anhydride-tethered surfaces formed the back contact. Sb2S3 absorbers in which perylene anhydride, esters, thionoesters, and thiols form the back contact yielded significantly decreased |V oc| magnitudes vs Sb2S3 on perylene-thioanhydride-terminated surfaces. We attribute the large V oc to the combination of favorable sulfur-functionalized surfaces for deposition, charge transfer properties of the perylene layer, and use of the thianthrene+/0 redox couple.
