Photoactivated 9-methylacridine destroys midgut tissues of Aedes aegypti larvae by targeting ROS-mediated apoptosis in the mitochondrial pathway of midgut cells. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2024; 254:112893. [PMID: 38531303 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2024.112893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
An aromatic ring-containing compound with a wide range of biological activities, 9-methylacridine (AD-9-Me) is a precursor for the synthesis of various drugs. However, its photoactivation properties and mechanism of damage as a photo activator against Aedes aegypti are unknown. The toxic effects of AD-9-Me on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were determined under light and non-light conditions. The results showed that the toxicity of AD-9-Me to mosquito larvae was significantly higher than that of the dark treatment after 24 h of light exposure; AD-9-Me was mainly distributed in the midgut of larvae, after 24 h of treatment, it can cause an increase in calcium ion concentration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) eruption and ROS accumulation by blocking the ROS elimination pathway in midgut cells. This in turn caused an increase in protein carbonyl and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), a disruption of the barrier function of midgut tissues, a significant decrease in midgut weight and chitin content, which induced the up-regulation of AeDronc, AeCaspase8 and AeCaspase7 genes, leading to apoptotic cell death. In this study, we confirmed that AD-9-Me has photoactivation activity and mainly acts on the midgut of mosquito larvae, which can generate a large amount of ROS in the cells of the midgut and induce apoptosis to occur, resulting in the disruption of the function of the tissues of mosquito larvae, accelerating the death and delaying the development of the mosquito larvae.

Abstract
Non-invasive control of the drug molecules accessibility is a key issue in improving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some studies have explored the spatiotemporal control by light as a peripheral stimulus. Phototriggered drug delivery systems (PTDDSs) have received interest in the past decade among biological researchers due to their capability the control drug release. To this end, a wide range of phototrigger molecular structures participated in the DDSs to serve additional efficiency and a high-conversion release of active fragments under light irradiation. Up to now, several categories of PTDDSs have been extended to upgrade the performance of controlled delivery of therapeutic agents based on well-known phototrigger molecular structures like o-nitrobenzyl, coumarinyl, anthracenyl, quinolinyl, o-hydroxycinnamate and hydroxyphenacyl, where either of one endows an exclusive feature and distinct mechanistic approach. This review conveys the design, photochemical properties and essential mechanism of the most important phototriggered structures for the release of single and dual (similar or different) active molecules that have the ability to quickly reason of the large variety of dynamic biological phenomena for biomedical applications like photo-regulated drug release, synergistic outcomes, real-time monitoring, and biocompatibility potential.

Abstract
Light degradable polymers hold significant promise in a wide range of applications including the fabrication of optically recyclable materials, responsive coatings and adhesives, and controlled drug delivery. Here, we report the synthesis of polyurethanes that can be degraded under irradiation of visible light (≤450 nm) from commercial LED (3-15 W) light sources. The photolysis occurs in an aqueous environment via photocleavage of an acridine moiety incorporated within the backbone of the polymer chains. Analysis of the quantum yield as a function of wavelength reveals highly efficient photoreactivity at up to 440 nm activation, which is red-shifted compared to the UV-vis absorbance of the chromophore. The potential of our chemical system in biomaterials is demonstrated by the fabrication of an in situ forming hydrogel that can be degraded by visible light.

Abstract
Development of controlled release system promises a huge impact on the pesticide delivery, which has raised attentions in improving efficacy of pesticides. Herein, the emerging photoremovable protecting group (PRPG), used in spatiotemporal delivery of drug by light, was introduced into agriculture. We obtained three TNB-insecticides and two of them exhibited excellent photophysicochemical properties. Our dual photo-controlled release system displayed more than sixfold insecticidal activity differences upon irradiation with UV light or sunlight. The dual release of DIN-TNB-DIN showed synergistic effect on mosquito larvae and armyworm larvae. Distribution of the fluorescence in body of dead/alive wigglers clearly illustrated the action mode, and visually demonstrated the precise and spatiotemporal delivery of insecticides in the living mosquito larvae. The new developed dual photo-controlled release system might widen the diversity in pesticide delivery, promoting the development in improving pesticide efficacy.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Dark and photolysis reactions in solution were investigated for 9-acridinecarboxaldehyde (ACL). ACL reacts in the dark at T = 20 °C and pH = 7.0 in an air saturated solution to the main product 9-acridinecarboxylic acid (ACA) and to the minor product 9-acridinemethanol (ACM) with a lifetime of τ = 4.3 days. The dissociation constant of the base ACLH+ was determined to be pKa ± σ = 4.38 ± 0.04. The photolysis of ACL was investigated using a polychromatic Xe-light source. The quantum yield in aqueous solution at T = 20 °C in a concentration range of c0(ACL) = 0.18-16.6 μM for pH > pKa and for nitrogen, air and oxygen aerated solutions was found to be Φ ± σ = (0.015 ± 0.003) mol/mol, independent from concentration. The quantum yield of ACLH+, i.e. for pH ≪ pKa, is by a factor of 2 higher (Φ = 0.029 mol/mol). Quantum yields in methanol and isopropanol are slightly lower compared to water and in acetone lower by about a factor of 20. In acetonitrile ACL was found to be practically photostable. Minimum lifetimes in sunlight for a measurement on September 5, 2017 were in the range of τ = 5-10 minutes. The diurnal photolysis of ACL in sunlight was satisfactory explained using the mean quantum yield, the absorption spectrum and photon fluxes with suitable corrections for cloudiness and the dimensions of the setup. For low concentrations ACR is formed with a yield of practically 100% in the photolysis reaction. However, with increasing concentration of ACL yields of ACR decrease and yields of ACA increase. 9(10H)-Acridinone and ACM were always detected as minor products with yields below 2%. 9-Methylacridine was never detected in any reaction of ACL. Strong indications are presented of a photolysis reaction of ACL in a river located in Lower Saxony (Germany) with a corresponding equimolar formation of ACR. ACL is therefore a direct precursor of ACR in natural surface water.

Abstract
A new fluorescent photoremovable protecting group (FPRPG) based on acetylcarbazole framework has been explored for the first time release of single and dual (similar or different) substrates from single chromophore. Mechanistic studies of the photorelease process revealed that photorelease of two (similar or different) substrates from acetyl carbazole proceeds via a stepwise pathway. Further, we constructed photoresponsive dual drug delivery system (DDS) to release two different anticancer drugs (caffeic acid and chlorambucil, 1 equiv each). In vitro study reveals that our DDS exhibit excellent properties like biocompatibility, cellular uptake, and photoregulated dual drug release.
