Abstract
We report a rapid, efficient, and scope-extensive approach for the late-stage electrochemical diselenation of BODIPYs. Photophysical analyses reveal red-shifted absorption - corroborated by TD-DFT and DLPNO-STEOM-CCSD computations - and color-tunable emission with large Stokes shifts in the selenium-containing derivatives compared to their precursors. In addition, due to the presence of the heavy Se atoms, competitive ISC generates triplet states which sensitize 1 O2 and display phosphorescence in PMMA films at RT and in a frozen glass matrix at 77 K. Importantly, the selenium-containing BODIPYs demonstrate the ability to selectively stain lipid droplets, exhibiting distinct fluorescence in both green and red channels. This work highlights the potential of electrochemistry as an efficient method for synthesizing unique emission-tunable fluorophores with broad-ranging applications in bioimaging and related fields.

Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Photodynamic Action of Photosensitizing Nanoassemblies Based on Sulfobutylether-β-Cyclodextrin. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062493.

Abstract
Developing new broad-spectrum antimicrobial strategies, as alternatives to antibiotics and being able to efficiently inactivate pathogens without inducing resistance, is one of the main objectives in public health. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), based on the light-induced production of reactive oxygen species from photosensitizers (PS), is attracting growing interest in the context of infection treatment, also including biofilm destruction. Due to the limited photostability of free PS, delivery systems are increasingly needed in order to decrease PS photodegradation, thus improving the therapeutic efficacy, as well as to reduce collateral effects on unaffected tissues. In this study, we propose a photosensitizing nanosystem based on the cationic porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (N-methyl- 4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (TMPyP), complexed with the commerical sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (CAPTISOL®), at a 1:50 molar ratio (CAPTISOL®/TMPyP)50_1. Nanoassemblies based on (CAPTISOL®/TMPyP)50_1 with photodynamic features exhibited photo-antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, results from P. aeruginosa reveal that CAPTISOL® alone inhibits pyocyanin (PYO) production, also affecting bacterial biofilm formation. Finally, we obtained a synergistic effect of inhibition and destruction of P. aeruginosa biofilm by using the combination of CAPTISOL® and TMPyP.

Abstract
In this work, two compounds belonging to the BODIPY family, and previously investigated for their photosensitizing properties, have been bound to the amino-pendant groups of three random copolymers, with different amounts of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) in the backbone. The P(MMA-ran-DMAEMA) copolymers have inherently bactericidal activity, due to the amino groups of DMAEMA and to the quaternized nitrogens bounded to BODIPY. Systems consisting of filter paper discs coated with copolymers conjugated to BODIPY were tested on two model microorganisms, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). On solid medium, irradiation with green light induced an antimicrobial effect, visible as a clear inhibition area around the coated disks. The system based on the copolymer with 43% DMAEMA and circa 0.70 wt/wt% of BODIPY was the most efficient in both bacterial species, and a selectivity for the Gram-positive model was observed, independently of the conjugated BODIPY. A residual antimicrobial activity was also observed after dark incubation, attributed to the inherently bactericidal properties of copolymers.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins have been widely employed for drug delivery systems (DDSs) in which drugs are selectively delivered to a target site in the body. Recent interest has been focused on the construction of cyclodextrin-based nanoarchitectures that show sophisticated DDS functions. These nanoarchitectures are precisely fabricated based on three important features of cyclodextrins, namely (1) the preorganized three-dimensional molecular structure of nanometer size, (2) the easy chemical modification to introduce functional groups, and (3) the formation of dynamic inclusion complexes with various guests in water. With the use of photoirradiation, drugs are released from cyclodextrin-based nanoarchitectures at designated timing. Alternatively, therapeutic nucleic acids are stably protected in the nanoarchitectures and delivered to the target site. The efficient delivery of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for gene editing was also successful. Even more complicated nanoarchitectures can be designed for sophisticated DDSs. Cyclodextrin-based nanoarchitectures are highly promising for future applications in medicine, pharmaceutics, and other relevant fields.

Abstract
Over the past 30 years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great development. In the clinical setting the few approved molecules belong almost exclusively to the porphyrin family; but in the scientific field, in recent years many researchers have been interested in other families of photosensitizers, among which BODIPY has shown particular interest. BODIPY is the acronym for 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene, and is a family of molecules well-known for their properties in the field of imaging. In order for these molecules to be used in PDT, a structural modification is necessary which involves the introduction of heavy atoms, such as bromine and iodine, in the beta positions of the pyrrole ring; this change favors the intersystem crossing, and increases the 1O2 yield. This mini review focused on a series of structural changes made to BODIPYs to further increase 1O2 production and bioavailability by improving cell targeting or photoactivity efficiency.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative technique for cancer treatment with minimal side effects, based on the use of a photosensitizer, oxygen, and light. Photosensitizers (PSs) have several limitations, that may limit their clinical use, like poor solubilization, self-aggregation, and lack of specific targeting, which can be addressed with the use of nanomaterials. Herein, a unique type of catansomes (CaSs) was prepared using a gemini imidazolium-based surfactant (1,3-bis[(3-octadecyl-1-imidazolio)methyl]benzene dibromide (GBIB) and a double chain surfactant, diaoctyl sodium sulfosuccinate or Aerosol OT (AOT). The formation of CaS GBIB/AOT was optimized in various ethanol/water (E/W) solvent ratios by employing a facile, quick, and most reliable solution-solution mixing method. The CaS was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) techniques. The experimental results reveal that stable CaSs with a spherical shape were obtained at lower concentration (100 μM). Rose Bengal (RB), a PS of the xanthene family, was incorporated into these prepared CaSs, as proven by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Singlet oxygen (1O2) generation studies revealed the relevant role of the E/W solvent ratio as there was a 4-fold boost in the 1O2 production for GBIB/AOT in E/W = 50:50 and around 3-fold in E/W = 30:70. Also, the GBIB-rich 80:20 fraction was more efficient in increasing the 1O2 generation as compared to the AOT rich fraction (20:80). Further, their phototoxicity was tested in a water-rich solvent ratio (E/W = 30:70) against MCF-7 cells. Upon irradiation with a 532 nm laser (50 mW) for 5 min, RB@GBIB/AOT(20:80) fraction caused 50% decrease in the metabolic activity of MCF-7 cells, and RB@GBIB/AOT(80:20) fraction produced a maximum 85% decrease in cell viability. Furthermore, the enhancement in intracellular 1O2 generation by RB@GBIB/AOT, as compared to pure RB, was confirmed with singlet oxygen sensor green (SOSG). This new type of CaS based on gemini surfactants exhibiting a large amount of 1O2 generation, holds great interest for several applications, such as use in photomedicine in future.

Abstract
In recent years, antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) gained increasing attention for its potential to inhibit the growth and spread of microorganisms, both as free-living cells and/or embedded in biofilm communities. In this scenario, compounds belonging to the family of boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) represent a very promising class of photosensitizers for applications in antimicrobial field. In this study, twelve non-ionic and three cationic BODIPYs were assayed for the inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. As expected, S. aureus showed to be very sensitive to BODIPYs and mild conditions were sufficient to reach good rates of photoinactivation with both neutral and monocationic ones. Surprisingly, one neutral compound (named B9 in this study) resulted the best BODIPY to photoinactivate P. aeruginosa PAO1. The photoinactivation of C. albicans was reached with both neutral and mono-cationic BODIPYs. Furthermore, biofilms of the three model microorganisms were challenged with BODIPYs in light-based antimicrobial technique. S. aureus biofilms were successfully inhibited with milder conditions than those applied to P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. Notably, it was possible to eradicate 24-h-old biofilms of both S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. In conclusion, this study supports the potential of neutral BODIPYs as pan-antimicrobial PSs.

Abstract
As a worldwide major public health problem, cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Effective treatment of cancer is an important challenge. Therefore, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have been widely applied as anti-tumour strategies due to their high-performance and limited side effects. Inspired by natural supramolecular architectures, such as cytochromes and photosystems, the hierarchical supramolecular assembly of small organic molecules has been developed for their use as photosensitizers or photothermal agents for PDT and PTT, respectively. In this manuscript, we will summarize the recent progress of PDT and PTT based on the assembly of small organic molecules.

Abstract
A new class of compounds based on the 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene core, known as BODIPYs, has attracted significant attention as photosensitizers suitable for application in photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is a minimally invasive procedure to treat cancer. In PDT the combination of a photosensitizer (PS), light, and oxygen leads to a series of photochemical reactions generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) exerting cytotoxic action on tumor cells. Here we present the synthesis and the study of the in vitro photodynamic effects of two BODIPYs which differ in the structure of the substituent placed on the meso (or 8) position of the dipyrrolylmethenic nucleus. The two compounds were tested on three human cancer cell lines of different origin and degree of malignancy. Our results indicate that the BODIPYs are very effective in reducing the growth/viability of HCT116, SKOV3 and MCF7 cells when irradiated with a green LED source, whereas they are practically devoid of activity in the dark. Phototoxicity occurs mainly through apoptotic cell death, however necrotic cell death also seems to play a role. Furthermore, singlet oxygen generation and induction of the increase of reactive oxygen species also appear to be involved in the photodynamic effect of the BODIPYs. Finally, it is worth noting that the two BODIPYs are also able to exert anti-migratory activity.

Abstract
Injectable nanobioplatforms capable of locally fighting the inflammation in osteoarticular diseases, by reducing the number of administrations and prolonging the therapeutic effect is highly challenging. β-Cyclodextrin cationic polymers are promising cartilage-penetrating candidates by intra-articular injection due to the high biocompatibility and ability to entrap multiple therapeutic and diagnostic agents, thus monitoring and mitigating inflammation. In this study, nanoassemblies based on poly-β-amino-cyclodextrin (PolyCD) loaded with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF) and linked by supramolecular interactions with a fluorescent probe (adamantanyl-Rhodamine conjugate, Ada-Rhod) were developed to manage inflammation in osteoarticular diseases. PolyCD@Ada-Rhod/DCF supramolecular nanoassemblies were characterized by complementary spectroscopic techniques including UV-Vis, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, DLS and ζ-potential measurement. Stability and DCF release kinetics were investigated in medium mimicking the physiological conditions to ensure control over time and efficacy. Biological experiments evidenced the efficient cellular internalization of PolyCD@Ada-Rhod/DCF (within two hours) without significant cytotoxicity in primary human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Finally, polyCD@Ada-Rhod/DCF significantly suppressed IL-1β production in hMSCs, revealing the anti-inflammatory properties of these nanoassemblies. With these premises, this study might open novel routes to exploit original CD-based nanobiomaterials for the treatment of osteoarticular diseases.

Abstract
Nowadays, novel less-expensive nanoformulations for in situ-controlled and safe delivery of photosensitisers (PSs) against opportunistic pathogens in body-infections areas need to be developed. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to treat bacterial infections that are recalcitrant to antibiotics. In this paper, we propose the design and characterization of a novel nanophototherapeutic based on the trade cyclodextrin CAPTISOL® (sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin, SBE-βCD) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphine tetrakis(p-toluenesulfonate) (TMPyP) to fabricate efficient biocompatible systems for aPDT. Spherical nanoassemblies of about 360 nm based on CAPTISOL®/TMPyP supramolecular complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry and apparent equilibrium binding constant (Kb ≅ 1.32 × 105 M-1) were prepared with entrapment efficiency of ≅ 100% by simple mixing in aqueous media and freeze-drying. These systems have been characterized by complementary spectroscopy and microscopy techniques. Time resolved fluorescence pointed out the strong interaction of porphyrin monomer within nanoassemblies (τ2 ≅ 11 ns with an amount of ca 90%) and scarce self-aggregation of porphyrins have been observed. Singlet oxygen comparative determination (ϕΔ CAPTISOL®/TMPyP = 0.58) assessed their photodynamic potential. Release and photostability studies have been carried out under physiological conditions pointing out the role of CAPTISOL® to sustain porphyrin release for more than 2 weeks and to protect PS from photodegradation. Finally, photoantimicrobial activity of nanoassemblies vs free porphyrin have been investigated against Gram-negative P. aeruginosa, E. coli and Gram-positive S. aureus. The proposed nanosystems were able to photokill both Gram-positive and -negative bacterial cells similarly to TMPyP at MBC90 = 6 µM of TMPyP and at 42 J/cm2 light dose. However, with respect to the less selective free TMPyP in biological sites, nanoassemblies exhibit sustained release properties and a higher photostability thus optimizing the PDT effect at the site of action. These results can open routes for in vivo translational studies on nano(photo)drugs and nanotheranostics based on less expensive formulations of CD and PS.

Abstract
In this work, a drug delivery system for perillyl alcohol based on the peptide self-assembly containing 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)-7-(diethylamino)coumarin (C6) as a fluorescent additive is obtained, and its photophysical characteristics as well as its release dynamics were studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Results proved the dynamics of drug release from the peptide nanostructures and showed that the system formed by the self-assembled peptide and C6, along with perillyl alcohol, presents unique photophysical properties that can be exploited to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) upon irradiation, which is not achieved by the sole components. Through epifluorescence microscopy combined with time-correlated single photon counting fluorescence spectroscopy, the release mechanism was proven to occur upon peptide structure interconversion, which is controlled by environmental changes.

Abstract
Two novel polyoxovanadate-iodoBodipy supramolecular assemblies, named as (2I-BDP-C6)2V6 and (2I-BDP-C6)3V10, were first synthesized by the self-assembly of anionic hexavanadate and decavanadate with cationic iodoBodipy for photochemotherapy, respectively. The mechanisms for synergistic photochemotherapy of the anion-cation pairs were determined. In particular, (2I-BDP-C6)3V10 can effectively kill lung cancer cells (HepG2) by synergetic chemotherapy as well as photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
As traditional phototherapy agents, boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) photosensitizers have attracted increasing attention due to their high molar extinction coefficients, high phototherapy efficacy, and excellent photostability. After being formed into nanostructures, BODIPY-containing nano-photosensitizers show enhanced water solubility and biocompatibility as well as efficient tumor accumulation compared to BODIPY molecules. Hence, BODIPY nano-photosensitizers demonstrate a promising potential for fighting cancer. This review contains three sections, classifying photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and the combination of PDT and PTT based on BODIPY nano-photosensitizers. It summarizes various BODIPY nano-photosensitizers, which are prepared via different approaches including molecular precipitation, supramolecular interactions, and polymer encapsulation. In each section, the design strategies and working principles of these BODIPY nano-photosensitizers are highlighted. In addition, the detailed in vitro and in vivo applications of these recently developed nano-photosensitizers are discussed together with future challenges in this field, highlighting the potential of these promising nanoagents for new tumor phototherapies.

Abstract
Nowadays, active targeting of nanotherapeutics is a challenging issue. Here, we propose a rational design of a ternary nanoassembly (SAP) composed of nonionic amphiphilic β-cyclodextrins (amphiphilic CD) incorporating pheophorbide (Pheo) as a phototherapeutic and an adamantanyl-folic acid conjugate (Ada-FA) to target tumor cells overexpressing α-folate receptor (FR-α(+)). Dynamic light scattering and ζ-potential pointed out the presence of nanoassemblies bearing a negative surface charge (ζ = -51 mV). Morphology of SAP was investigated by atomic force microscopy and microphotoluminescence, indicating the presence of highly emissive near-spherical assemblies of about 280 nm in size. Complementary spectroscopic techniques such as ROESY-NMR, UV/vis and steady-state fluorescence revealed that the folic acid protrudes out of amphiphilic CD rims, prone for recognition with FR-α. Pheo was strongly loaded in the nanoassembly mostly in monomeric form, thus generating singlet oxygen (1O2) and consequentely showing phototherapeutic action. SAP remained stable until 2 weeks in aqueous solutions. Stability studies in biologically relevant media pointed out the ability of SAP to interact with serum proteins by means of the oligoethylenglycole fringe, without destabilization. Release experiments demonstrated the sustained release of Pheo from SAP in environments mimiking physiological conditions (∼20% within 1 week), plausibly suggesting low Pheo leaking and high integrity of the assembly within 24 h, time spent on average to reach the target sites. Cellular uptake of SAP was confirmed by confocal microscopy, pointing out that SAP was internalized into the tumoral cells expressing FR-α more efficiently than SP. SAP showed improved phototoxicity in human breast MCF-7 cancer cells FR-α(+) (IC50 = 270 nM) with respect to human prostate carcinoma PC3 cells (IC50 = 700 nM) that express a low level of that receptor (FR-α(-)). Finally, an improved phototoxicity in FR-α(+) MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 270 nM) was assessed after treatment with SAP vs SP (IC50 = 600 nM) which was designed without Ada-FA as a targeting unit.

Abstract
An adamantane-containing zwitterionic copolymer poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine)- co-poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl adamantane-1-carboxylate) (poly(MPC- co-MAda)) was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was conjugated to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) by glutathione (GSH)-sensitive disulfide bonds. The Ce6 conjugated supramolecular prodrug nanocarriers were fabricated due to the host-guest interaction between adamantane and β-CD, which was confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Ce6 conjugated prodrug nanocarriers showed reduction-responsive release of Ce6, which could result in the activation of Ce6. The generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly enhanced due to the activation of Ce6. In additiona, the Ce6 conjugated prodrug nanocarriers could effectively inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells upon light irradiation.
