Abstract
To accelerate the pace in the field of photothermal therapy (PTT), it is urged to develop easily accessible photothermal agents (PTAs) showing high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). As a proof-of-concept, hereby a conventional strategy is presented to prepare donor-acceptor (D-A) structured PTAs through cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) reaction, and the resultant PTAs give high PCE upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. By joint experimental-theoretical study, these PTAs exhibit prominent D-A structure with strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics and significantly twisting between D and A units which account for the high PCEs. Among them, the DMA-TCNQ exhibits the strongest absorption in NIR range as well as the highest PCE of 91.3% upon irradiation by 760-nm LED lamp (1.2 W cm-2). In vitro and in vivo experimental results revealed that DMA-TCNQ exhibits low dark toxicity and high phototoxicity after IR irradiation along with nude mice tumor inhibition up to 81.0% through intravenous therapy. The findings demonstrate CA-RE reaction as a convenient approach to obtain twisted D-A structured PTAs for effective PTT and probably promote the progress of cancer therapies.

Enhancing near-infrared II photodynamic therapy with nitric oxide for eradicating multidrug-resistant biofilms in deep tissues. Bioact Mater 2024; 33:341-354. [PMID: 38107603 PMCID: PMC10724540 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising approach to overcome drug tolerance and resistance to biofilm but is limited by its short excitation wavelengths and low yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we develop a compelling degradable polymer-based near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) photosensitizer (PNIR-II), which can maintain 50 % PDT efficacy even under a 2.6 cm tissue barrier. Remarkably, PNIR-II is synthesized by alternately connecting the electron donor thiophene to the electron acceptors diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), where the intramolecular charge transfer properties can be tuned to increase the intersystem crossover rate and decrease the internal conversion rate, thereby stabilizing the NIR-II photodynamic rather than photothermal effect. For exerting a combination therapy to eradicate multidrug-resistant biofilms, PNIR-II is further assembled into nanoparticles (NPs) with a synthetic glutathione-triggered NO donor polymer. Under 1064 nm laser radiation, NPs precisely release ROS and NO that triggered by over-expressed GSH in the biofilm microenvironment, thereby forming more bactericidal reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in vitro and in vivo in the mice model that orderly destroy biofilm of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus cultures from clinical patients. It thus provides a new outlook for destroy the biofilm of deep tissues.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2207535.

Abstract
Activatable prodrugs have drawn considerable attention for cancer cell ablation owing to their high specificity in drug delivery systems. However, phototheranostic prodrugs with dual organelle-targeting and synergistic effects are still rare due to low intelligence of their structures. Besides, the cell membrane, exocytosis, and diffusional hindrance by the extracellular matrix reduce drug uptake. Moreover, the up-regulation of heat shock protein and short singlet-oxygen lifetime in cancer cells hamper photo-ablation efficacy, especially in the mono-therapeutic model. To overcome those obstacles, we prepare an esterase-activated DM nano-prodrug, which is conjugated by diiodine-substituted fluorogenic malachite green derivative (MG-2I) and phototherapeutic agent DPP-OH via hydrolyzable ester linkage, having pH-responsiveness and genetically targetable activity for dual organelles-targeting to optimize photo-ablation efficacy. The DM nanoparticles (NPs) present improved pH-responsive photothermal/photodynamic property by the protonation of diethylaminophenyl units in acidic environment. More importantly, the MG-2I and DPP-OH moieties can be released from DM nano-prodrug through overexpressed esterase; then specifically target lysosomes and mitochondria in CT-26 Mito-FAP cells. Hence, near-infrared DM NPs can trigger parallel damage in dual-organelles with strong fluorescence and effective phototoxicity, thus inducing serious mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic death, showing excellent photo-ablation effect based on esterase-activated, pH-responsive, and genetically targetable activities.

Abstract
Introducing donor and acceptor into conjugated system can facilitate the intersystem crossing (ISC) rate to increase the generation of ROS. Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state could favor enhance the nonradiative transition and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) core functionalized benzene (PDDP), thiophene (TDPP), triphenylamine-conjugated benzene (TPA-PDDP) and thiophene (TPA-TDPP) derivatives were designed and synthesized. Electrochemistry experiments revealed the heavy atom effect and the introduction of triphenylamine reduced the energy level of TPA-TDPP and improved the ability to generate 1O2 (1O2 QY = 50%). In addition, in the aggregated state, introduction of thiophene, triphenylamine, and long alkyl chains promoted the twisting effect, preventing the intermolecular π-π interaction and enhancing the PCE of TPA-TDPP (38.7%). In vivo fluorescence imaging showed that TPA-TDPP NPs can target the tumor site with the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and presented excellent synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is promising for augmenting cancer therapeutic outcomes in cancer treatment. Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-conjugated polymer nanoparticles are in focus due to their dual photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy functions. Herein, the design and synthesis of three near-infrared absorbing conjugated polymers, named DPP-SO, DPP-SS and DPP-SSe, with heteroatom substitution of the thiophene moiety were developed for a photoacoustic imaging guided photothermal therapy. It was demonstrated that systematically changing only the heteroatom from O to S or Se could apparently adjust the absorption spectrum and energy gap of DPP-conjugated polymers to obtain the most suitable photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) for use in biomedicine. The characterization of photophysical properties proved that the photothermal conversion efficiency and absorption coefficient of DPP-SO nanoparticles under 808 nm irradiation was up to 79.3% and 66.51 L g-1 cm-1, respectively, which were much higher than those of DPP-SS and DPP-SSe nanoparticles. Remarkably, the IC50 value of DPP-SO for killing A549 cells was half that of DPP-SS and DPP-SSe nanoparticles. Further in vivo works demonstrated efficient photothermal therapeutic effects of DPP-SO nanoparticles with the guidance of photoacoustic imaging. Thus, this is an efficient method to regulate the photothermal performance of DPP-conjugated polymers by changing the heteroatom in the molecular skeleton.

Abstract
The endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) can signally influence the therapeutic effects of cancer, so it is necessary to explore effective synergistic therapeutic strategies based on changing of the TME. Here, a catalytic cascade nanoplatform based on manganese (Mn)-etched dendritic mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (designated as DMMnSiO3 NPs) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and natural glucose oxidase (GOD) is established (designated as DIG nanocomposites). As the Mn-O bonds in DMMnSiO3 NPs are susceptive to mildly acidic and reducing environments, the DIG nanocomposites can be rapidly decomposed because of the biodegradation of DMMnSiO3 NPs once internalized into the tumor by the consumption of glutathione (GSH) in TME to weaken the antioxidant capability of the tumors. The released Mn2+ could catalyze endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate oxygen (O2) to relieve the hypoxia in TME. The generation of O2 may promote the catalyzed oxidation of glucose by GOD, which will cut off nutrient supplies, accompanied by the regeneration of H2O2. The regenerated H2O2 could be sequentially catalyzed by Mn2+ to compensate for the consumed O2, and thus, the catalytic cascade process between Mn2+ and GOD was set up. As a result, a synergistic therapeutic strategy based on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Mn2+, starvation therapy by O2-compensation enhanced catalyzing glucose, dual-model (GSH consumption and O2 compensation) enhanced photodynamic therapy, and effective photothermal therapy of ICG (η = 23.8%) under 808 nm laser irradiation has been successfully established.

Abstract
Simultaneous photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is beneficial for enhanced cancer therapy due to the synergistic effect. Conventional materials developed for synergistic PTT/PDT are generally multicomponent agents that need complicated preparation procedures and be activated by multiple laser sources. The emerging monocomponent diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based conjugated small molecular agents enable dual PTT/PDT under a single laser irradiation, but suffer from low singlet oxygen quantum yield, which severely restricts the therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report acceptor-oriented molecular design of a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) conjugated small molecule (IID-ThTPA)-based phototheranostic agent, with isoindigo (IID) as selective acceptor and triphenylamine (TPA) as donor. The strong D-A strength and narrow singlet-triplet energy gap endow IID-ThTPA nanoparticles (IID-ThTPA NPs) high mass extinction coefficient (18.2 L g-1 cm-1), competitive photothermal conversion efficiency (35.4%), and a dramatically enhanced singlet oxygen quantum yield (84.0%) comparing with previously reported monocomponent PTT/PDT agents. Such a high PTT/PDT performance of IID-ThTPA NPs achieved superior tumor cooperative eradicating capability in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a serious problem threatening human health. The chitosan (CS)-modified MoS2 coating loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was designed on the surface of titanium (Ti) to kill bacteria rapidly and efficiently under 660 nm visible light. Ag/MoS2 exhibited high photocatalytic activity due to the rapid transfer of photo-inspired electrons from MoS2 to Ag NPs, resulting in higher yields of radical oxygen species (ROS) to kill bacteria. The covering of CS made the composite coating positively charged to further enhance the antibacterial property of the coating. In addition, CS/Ag/MoS2-Ti also showed a certain photothermal effect. in vitro results showed that the antibacterial efficiency of the coating on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was 98.66% and 99.77% respectively, when the coating was irradiated by 660 nm visible light for 20 min. Cell culture tests showed that CS/Ag/MoS2-Ti had no adverse effects on cell growth. Hence, this surface system will be a very promising strategy for eliminating bacterial infection on biomedical device and implants safely and effectively within a short time.

Abstract
Herein, a core-shell dual metal-organic framework (MOF) heterointerface is synthesized. The Prussian blue (PB) MOF acts as a core for the growth of a porphyrin-doped MOF which is named PB@MOF. Porphyrins can significantly enhance the transfer of photoinspired electrons from PB and suppress the recombination of electrons and holes, thus enhancing the photocatalytic properties and consequently promoting the yields of singlet oxygen rapidly under 660 nm illumination. PB@MOF can exhibit a better photothermal conversion efficiency up to 29.9% under 808 nm near-infrared irradiation (NIR). The PB@MOF heterointerface can possess excellent antibacterial efficacies of 99.31% and 98.68% opposed to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, separately, under the dual light illumination of 808 nm NIR and 660 nm red light for 10 min. Furthermore, the trace amount of Fe and Zr ions can trigger the immune system to favor wound healing, promising that PB@MOF achieves the rapid therapy of bacterial infected wounds and environmental disinfection.

Abstract
As an emerging clinical modality for cancer treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT) takes advantage of the cytotoxic activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are generated by light irradiating photosensitizers (PSs) in the presence of oxygen (O2 ). However, further advancements including tumor selectivity and ROS generation efficiency are still required. Substantial efforts are devoted to design and synthesize smart PSs with optimized properties for achieving a desirable therapeutic efficacy. This review summarizes the recent progress in developing intelligent PSs for efficient PDT, ranging from single molecules to delicate nanomaterials. The strategies to improve ROS generation through optimizing photoinduced electron transfer and energy transfer processes of PSs are highlighted. Moreover, the approaches that combine PDT with other therapeutics (e.g., chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and radiotherapy) and the targeted delivery in cancer cells or tumor tissue are introduced. The main challenges for the clinical application of PSs are also discussed.

Abstract
Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) based organic molecules have drawn significant research attention as phototheranostic agents. Herein, based on thieno[3,2-b]thienyl-DPP (TT-DPP), a near-infrared small molecule photosensitizer diethyl 3,3'-((((2,5-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-3,6-dioxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-diyl)bis(thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-5,2-diyl))bis-(4,1-phenylene))bis(7-bromo-10H-phenothiazine-10,3-diyl))(2E,2'E)-diacrylate (PDBr), with a high singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yield of 67%, was developed. After nano-precipitation, the hydrophilic PDBr NPs present an encouraging photothermal conversion efficiency of 35.7% and excellent fluorescence/infrared-thermal imaging performance. In vitro studies disclosed the high phototoxicity but low dark cytotoxicity of PDBr NPs to tumor cells. Furthermore, PDBr NPs can effectively impede the tumor growth without noticeable side effects in living mice through imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy. Therefore, PDBr NPs could be a promising nanotheranostic agent for imaging-guided synergistic photothermal and photodynamic therapy in the clinic.

Abstract
Insufficient oxygen supply (hypoxia), short half-life (<40 ns) of singlet oxygen, and up-regulation of the heat shock protein expression in solid tumors impede the photodynamic and photothermal therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a near-infrared carrier-free nanoconjugate direct-acting antiviral (DAA) with synergistic antivascular activity and pH-responsive photodynamic/photothermal behavior was designed and synthesized to improve cancer treatment efficacy. Obtained by the self-assembly approach, the biocompatible DAA nanoparticles (NPs) displayed amplifying pH-responsive photodynamic/photothermal performance in an acidic tumor microenvironment due to the protonation of diethylaminophenyl units. Most important, the antivascular agent 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid, targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor, can be smartly released from the pro-drug DAA via ester bond hydrolysis at the subacid endocytosis organelles in the endothelial cells, which can effectively destroy the vascular region to prevent tumor proliferation and metastasis. Hence, DAA NPs can specifically target vascular endothelial cells and tumorous lysosomes with desired cellular damage properties in vitro. Therefore, the tumors can be ablated completely with no recurrence and side effects in vivo, which implies that DAA NPs provide a promising approach for cancer treatment via synergistic antivascular activity and photodynamic/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging presents an innocuous imaging modality with good penetration depth and resolution. To use this modality for detection and imaging of pathological sites, new imaging probes need to be developed to enhance the contrast over endogenous sonophores. These contrast agents should specifically bind to the site of interest, be non-toxic and be cleared renally if applied intravenously. Small organic dyes with absorption in the near infrared spectrum often exhibit good photoacoustic response. However, such dyes are often not water soluble or they are cytotoxic. Here, we present a novel PEGylated sonophore based on diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), which overcomes these limitations and can be functionalized with desired biological recognition motifs using thiol-yne click chemistry. Proof of concept is demonstrated by functionalizing the DPP-based probe with an RGD peptide, resulting in specific binding to endothelial (HUVEC) cells and an efficient photoacoustic response.
