Nature of Linear Spectral Properties and Fast Electronic Relaxations in Green Fluorescent Pyrrolo[3,4-c]Pyridine Derivative. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115592. [PMID: 34070488 PMCID: PMC8197551 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22115592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The electronic nature of 4-hydroxy-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-1,3,6(2H,5H)-trione (HPPT) was comprehensively investigated in liquid media at room temperature using steady-state and time-resolved femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic techniques. The analysis of the linear photophysical and photochemical parameters of HPPT, including steady-state absorption, fluorescence and excitation anisotropy spectra, along with the lifetimes of fluorescence emission and photodecomposition quantum yields, revealed the nature of its large Stokes shift, specific changes in the permanent dipole moments under electronic excitation, weak dipole transitions with partially anisotropic character, and high photostability. Transient absorption spectra of HPPT were obtained with femtosecond resolution and no characteristic solvate relaxation processes in protic (methanol) solvent were revealed. Efficient light amplification (gain) was observed in the fluorescence spectral range of HPPT, but no super-luminescence and lasing phenomena were detected. The electronic structure of HPPT was also analyzed with quantum-chemical calculations using a DFT/B3LYP method and good agreement with experimental data was shown. The development and investigation of new pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives are important due to their promising fluorescent properties and potential for use in physiological applications.

Abstract
In recent years, synthetic polymer materials have become a research hotspot in the field of drug delivery. Compared with natural polymer materials, synthetic polymer materials have more flexible structural adjustability, and can be designed to obtain clinically required delivery vehicles. Polyphosphazenes are one of the most promising biomedical materials in the future due to their controllable degradation properties and structural flexibility. These materials can be designed by controlling the hydrophilic and hydrophobic balance, introducing functional groups or drugs to form different forms of administration, such as nanoparticles, polyphosphazene-drug conjugates, injectable hydrogels, coatings, etc. In addition, the flexible backbone of polyphosphazenes and the flexibility of substitution enable them to meet researchers' design requirements in terms of stereochemistry, nanostructures, and topologies. At present, researchers have achieved a lot of successful practices in the field of targeted delivery of anticancer drugs/proteins/genes, bone tissue engineering repair, cell imaging tracking, photothermal therapy, and immunologic preparations. This review provides a summary of the progress of the recent 10 years of polyphosphazene-based drug delivery systems in terms of of chemical structure and functions.

Abstract
Tissue engineering scaffolds made of conventional aliphatic polyesters are inherently non-fluorescent, which results in their in vivo degradation hard to be visualized. Photoluminescent biodegradable polyorganophosphazenes (PPOPs) are synthesized by introducing fluorophores onto the polyphosphazene backbone via nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this study, a fluorophore (termed as TPCA), derived from citric acid and 2-aminoethanethiol, was co-substituted with alanine ethyl ester onto the polyphosphazene backbone to obtain a photoluminescent biodegradable POPP (termed as PTA). The scaffolds made of PTA demonstrated non-cytotoxicity and cell affinity, particularly, capacity in promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). In vivo evaluations using the rat calvarial defect model confirmed its strong potential in enhancing osteogenesis, more importantly, the in vivo degradation of the PTA scaffold could be monitored via its fluorescence intensity alongside implantation time.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a facile end-functionalization method using hydroxylated coumarin to initiate the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters to synthesize a series of fluorescent biodegradable aliphatic polyesters with tailorable properties. The resulting fluorescent functionalized poly(l-lactide) (PLLA-COU), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-COU) poly(δ-valerolactone) (PVL-COU) and poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC-COU) were investigated to evaluate the dependence of fluorescence on the chemical structure and molecular weight of the materials. The differences in the electron withdrawing ability and the density of ester groups are responsible for the changes in the fluorescence quantum yield. Then, two representative biodegradable materials, namely, PLLA-COU and PCL-COU, were used to prepare fluorescent paclitaxel-loaded microspheres. During in vitro drug release, the release rate of the PCL-COU microspheres is dramatically faster than that of the PLLA-COU microspheres due to the difference in the material nature and their surface morphologies, possibly achieving a tunable degradation and release rate for the drug carriers. Fluorescent functionalized polyester microspheres can retain their fluorescence properties and emit bright blue light for fluorescence tracing during the degradation process. Biological evaluations showed that both fluorescent polyesters are devoid of any significant toxicity and have good biocompatibility. The results demonstrated that the obtained fluorescent polyesters are promising for use in traceable and controlled drug delivery with tunable drug release.
