Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by the parasite Leishmania donovani affecting populations belonging to developing countries. The present study explores drug repurposing as an innovative strategy to identify new uses for approved clinical drugs, reducing the time and cost required for drug discovery. The three-dimensional structure of Leishmania donovani Sterol C-24 methyltransferase (LdSMT) was modeled and 1615 FDA-approved drugs from the ZINC database were computationally screened to identify the potent leads. Fulvestrant, docetaxel, indocyanine green, and iohexol were shortlisted as potential leads with the highest binding affinity and fitness scores for the concerned pathogenic receptor. Molecular dynamic simulation studies showed that the macromolecular complexes of indocyanine green and iohexol with LdSMT remained stable throughout the simulation and can be further evaluated experimentally for developing an effective drug. The proposed leads have further demonstrated promising safety profiles during cytotoxicity analysis on the J774.A1 macrophage cell line. Mechanistic analysis with these two drugs also revealed significant morphological alterations in the parasite, along with reduced intracellular parasitic load. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of drug repurposing in identifying new treatments for leishmaniasis and other diseases affecting developing countries, highlighting the importance of considering approved clinical drugs for new applications.

Abstract
Porphyrins, known for generating toxic singlet oxygen (1O2) to combat bacteria, face challenges such as hydrophilicity and limited lifespan and 1O2 yield. Conversely, triterpenoid compounds like ammonium glycyrrhizinate (AG) offer antioxidative and antibacterial properties but lack efficacy and stability. Combining them in Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) yields dual-ligand zirconium (Zr)-basedMOFs (M-TG), capitalizing on porphyrins' membrane-disrupting ability and AG's inhibition of bacterial membrane synthesis for a synergistic antibacterial effect. M-TG resolves activity loss, enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield, and extends stability, achieving a remarkable 99.999% sterilization rate. This innovative approach maximizes ligand properties through synergistic effects, promising significant advancements in antibacterial material design.

Abstract
For antibacterial purposes, a photothermal and photodynamic antibacterial membrane was prepared through electrospinning. We used zein as the substrate and introduced Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) into the protein structure. Then, we used electrospinning technology to weave the modified zein into a fiber structure. We finally introduced a metallic polyphenol network (MPN) coating on the fiber surface to form the final membrane: MPN@Zein-PpIX. Then, we investigated the photothermal and photodynamic properties of the membrane and assessed its antibacterial activity with in vitro agar plate counting methods. The MPN@Zein-PpIX membrane exhibited good singlet oxygen generation and excellent photothermal conversion. Additionally, it showed good antibacterial capacity in vitro, owing to the combination of photothermal and photodynamic properties. Our research provides a simple approach to prepare a multifunctional membrane with excellent antibacterial ability. We used the electrospinning technique to anchor PpIX onto zein to produce a fiber membrane (Zein-PpIX) that can be adhered in situ to improve the biocompatibility of PpIX, and the MPN makes the membrane surface more hydrophilic and more accessible to adhere to biological tissues. The MPN@Zein-PpIX membrane provided new ideas for combining PDT and PTT, and it had great potential for use in the antibacterial application field.

Abstract
The traditional clinical approaches for oral cancer consist of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and so on. However, these treatments often induce side effects and exhibit limited efficacy. Photothermal therapy (PTT) emerges as a promising adjuvant treatment, utilizing photothermal agents (PTAs) to convert light energy into heat for tumor ablation. Another innovative approach, photodynamic therapy (PDT), leverages photosensitizers (PSs) and specific wavelength laser irradiation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering an effective and non-toxic alternative. The relevant combination therapies have been reported in the field of oral cancer. Simultaneously, the advancement of nanomaterials has propelled the clinical application of PTT and PDT. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of PTT and PDT is required for better application in oral cancer treatment. Here, we review the use of PTT and PDT in oral cancer, including noble metal materials (e.g., Au nanoparticles), carbon materials (e.g., graphene oxide), organic dye molecules (e.g., indocyanine green), organic molecule-based agents (e.g., porphyrin-analog phthalocyanine) and other inorganic materials (e.g., MXenes), exemplify the advantages and disadvantages of common PTAs and PSs, and summarize the combination therapies of PTT with PDT, PTT/PDT with chemotherapy, PTT with radiotherapy, PTT/PDT with immunotherapy, and PTT/PDT with gene therapy in the treatment of oral cancer. The challenges related to the PTT/PDT combination therapy and potential solutions are also discussed.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 235:113748. [PMID: 38306804 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
The long-term durability of the implant is influenced by two significant clinical challenges, namely bacterial infection and fixation loosening. Conventional implant materials have failed to meet the demands of the dynamic process of infectious bone repair, which necessitates early-stage bacterial sterilization and a conducive environment for late-stage osteogenesis. Consequently, there is an urgent requirement for an implant material that can sequentially regulate antibacterial properties and promote osteogenesis. The study aimed to develop a micropatterned graphene oxide nanocomposite on titanium implant (M-NTO/GO) for the sequential management of bacterial infection and osteogenic promotion. M-NTO/GO exhibited a micropattern nanostructure surface and demonstrated responsiveness to near-infrared (NIR) light. Upon NIR light irradiation, M-NTO/GO exhibited effective antibacterial properties, achieving antibacterial rates of 96.9% and 98.6% against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. Under no-light condition, the micropatterned topography of M-NTO/GO exhibited the ability to induce directed cell growth, enhance cell adhesion and spreading, and facilitate osteogenic differentiation. These findings suggest the successful development of a functionalized micropatterned nanocomposite implant capable of sequentially regulating antibacterial and osteogenesis activity. Consequently, this highly effective strategy holds promise for expanding the potential applications of orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Oral biofilm is the main cause of pathologies affecting the hard and soft oral tissues around teeth. Its main components are the periodontal pathogens and other bacteria of the supragingival and subgingival biofilm. Different alternative strategies that could be adjuvants to the usual periodontal treatments used to eliminate biofilms are available. One of these methods is antimicrobial photodynamic therapy using VIS and water-filtered infrared-A combined with a photosensitizer. In this review, different recent studies were collected to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and the effectiveness of different types of photosensitizers.

Indocyanine green-loaded platelet activated by photodynamic and photothermal effects for selective control of wound repair. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 45:103945. [PMID: 38135108 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prompt and effective wound repair is an essential strategy to promote recovery and prevent infection in patients with various types of trauma. Platelets can release a variety of growth factors upon activation to facilitate revascularization and tissue repair, provided that their activation is uncontrollable. The present study is designed to explore the selective activation of platelets by photodynamic and photothermal effects (PDE/PTE) as well as the trauma repair mediated by PDE/PTE. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the current research, platelets were extracted from the blood of mice. Indocyanine green (ICG) was applied to induce PDE/PTE. The uptake of ICG by platelets was detected by laser confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The cellular integrity was measured by microscopy. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and temperature of platelets were assayed by 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) and temperature detector. The activation of platelets was measured by western blots (WB), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The release of growth factor was detected by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (Elisa), wherein the in vitro cell proliferation was investigated by 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) assay. The wound infection rates model and histological examination were constructed to assay the ICG-loaded platelet-mediated wound repair. RESULTS Platelets could load with ICG, a kind of photodynamic and photothermal agent, as carriers and remain intact. Near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation of ICG-loaded platelets (ICG@PLT) facilitated higher temperature and ROS generation, which immediately activated ICG@PLT, as characterized by increased membrane p-selectin (CD62p), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), thromboxane A2 receptor (TXA2R) expression, elevated hydrated particle size, and prominent aggregation in platelets. Further investigation revealed that massive insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were released from the activated ICG@PLT, which also promoted the proliferation of endothelial cells and keratinocytes in co-culture. In consequence, activated platelets and increased neovascularization could be observed in rats with wound infection treated by ICG@PLT in the presence of NIR. More impressively, the hydrogel containing ICG@PLT accelerated wound healing and suppressed inflammation under NIR, exhibiting excellent wound repair properties. CONCLUSION Taken together, the current work identified that platelets could be activated by PDE/PTE and thereby release growth factor, potentiating wound repair in a controlled manner.

Intratumor delivery of amino-modified graphene oxide as a multifunctional photothermal agent for efficient antitumor phototherapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:1108-1116.

Abstract
Due to the high selectivity and non-invasive property, phototherapy has attracted increasing attention in the treatment of cancer. Targeted delivery and retention of photoactive agents in tumor tissue is of great significance and importance for safe and efficient phototherapy. Herein, we report a multifunctional nanomaterial photothermal agent, namely amino-modified graphene oxide (AGO) for anti-oral cancer photothermal therapy (PTT). Compared to the parental graphene oxide (GO) which has a negative charge and weak photothermal effect, AGO possesses a positive charge (∼+50 mV) and the significantly enhanced photothermal effect. Positive charge allows AGO to efficiently interact with tumor cells and retain in tumor tissue after intratumor injection. The enhanced photothermal effect allows AGO to achieve the tunable and efficient PTT. In vitro results show that AGO (15 μg/mL) reduces the viability of HSC-3 cells (oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line) to 5% under near infrared (NIR) irradiation (temperature increased to 58.4 °C). In vivo antitumor study shows that intratumor delivery of AGO (200 μg/mouse) has no inhibition effects on tumor growth (454% of initial tumor size) without NIR. With a single dose of NIR irradiation, however, AGO significantly reduces the tumor size to 25% of initial size in 1 of 4 mice, and even induces the complete tumor ablation in 3 of 4 mice. Furthermore, the injected AGO falls off along with the scab after PTT. Our findings indicate that AGO is a potential nano-photothermal agent for tunable, convenient and efficient anticancer PTT.

Abstract
Developing antibiotic-free treatment strategies to cope with the crisis on drug-resistant bacteria, are urgently needed. Antibiotics-independent physical approaches, especially the non-invasive phototherapies, worked through the assistance of photosensitizer (PS), have geared intensive attention and interests. Here, composite porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer/graphene oxide, denoted as GO-TAPP, combining the advantages of each component perfectly, was developed as broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. GO-TAPP, prepared via the self-oxidation coupling of tetraethynyl porphyrin on the surface of graphene oxide, could exert synergistic photothermal (PTT, ascribed to the graphene) and photodynamic (PDT, derived from the Porphyrin polymer) antimicrobial effectiveness. Both the in vivo and in vitro experiments have confirmed GO-TAPP are extremely potent against the Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) pathogens, which presents a remarkably enhanced sterilizing effect in comparison with its counterparts (the bare GO, and TAPP). Meanwhile, the synergistic effect of GO-TAPP could significantly accelerate the healing of open wound infected by bacterial. Altogether, this work proposed a new approach for the rational preparation of highly biocompatible graphene-based composite materials as antibiotic-free agents with synergistic antibacterial effect to combat bacterial infections.

Photothermal and natural activity-based synergistic antibacterial effects of Ti 3C 2T x MXene-loaded chitosan hydrogel against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124482.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has strong resistance to antibiotic therapy. In this regard, developing antibiotic-free antibacterial agents is of great significance to treat MRSA infections. Herein, we loaded Ti3C2Tx MXene nanomaterial in the non-crosslinked chitosan (CS) hydrogel. The obtained MX-CS hydrogel is expected to not only adsorb MRSA cells via CS-MRSA interactions, but also gather the MXene-induced photothermal hyperthermia, achieving the efficient and intensive anti-MRSA photothermal therapy. As a result, under NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1.6 W/cm2, 5 min), MX-CS showed a greater photothermal effect than MXene alone did (30 μg/mL, 49.9 °C for MX-CS and 46.5 °C for MXene). Importantly, MRSA cells were rapidly adsorbed on MX-CS hydrogel (containing 30 μg/mL MXene) and completely inhibited (99.18 %) under NIR irradiation for 5 min. In contrast, MXene (30 μg/mL) and CS hydrogel alone only inhibited 64.52 % and 23.72 % MRSA, respectively, significantly lower than the inhibition caused by MX-CS (P < 0.001). Interestingly, when the hyperthermia was depleted by a 37 °C water bath, the bacterial inhibition rate of MX-CS significantly decreased to 24.65 %. In conclusion, MX-CS hydrogel has a remarkable synergistic anti-MRSA activity by gathering MRSA cells and MXene-induced hyperthermia, and may have great potentials in treating MRSA-infected diseases.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are rapidly emerging, coupled with the failure of current antibiotic therapy; thus, new alternatives for effectively treating infections caused by MDR bacteria are required. Hyperthermia-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) have attracted extensive attention as antibacterial therapies owing to advantages such as low invasiveness, low toxicity, and low likelihood of causing bacterial resistance. However, both strategies have notable drawbacks, including the high temperature requirements of PTT and the weak ability of PDT-derived ROS to penetrate target cells. To overcome these limitations, a combination of PTT and PDT has been used against MDR bacteria. In this review, we discuss the unique benefits and limitations of PTT and PDT against MDR bacteria. The mechanisms underlying the synergistic effects of the PTT–PDT combination are also discussed. Furthermore, we introduced advancements in antibacterial methods using nano-based PTT and PDT agents to treat infections caused by MDR bacteria. Finally, we highlight the existing challenges and future perspectives of synergistic PTT–PDT combination therapy against infections caused by MDR bacteria. We believe that this review will encourage synergistic PTT- and PDT-based antibacterial research and can be referenced for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a critical threat to human health. Considering the difficulties and time-consuming nature of synthesizing new antibiotics, it is of great significance and importance to develop the antibiotic-independent antibacterial approaches against drug-resistant bacteria. Nanomaterials-based photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have attracted much attention due to their broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, low toxicity, and drug-free feature. In this work, we loaded indocyanine green (ICG) on the Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (454 nm) so as to combine the photothermal effect of MXene with the photodynamic effect of ICG. Without near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, MXene (20 μg/mL), ICG (5 μg/mL) or ICG-loaded MXene (ICG-MXene) showed no significant antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Under NIR, however, the viability loss of MRSA remarkably increased to 45% for MXene, 66% for ICG and 100% for ICG-MXene. We further found that the great anti-MRSA activity of ICG-MXene under NIR was attributed to the combination of photothermal effect of MXene (high temperature) and photodynamic effect of ICG (high level of reactive oxygen species). Our findings indicate that MXene can be used as both the photothermal agent and the carrier of photosensitizers to achieve the synergistic PTT/PDT therapy for bacterial infections.

Abstract
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with the intrinsic advantages including non-invasiveness, spatiotemporal selectivity, low side-effects, and immune activation ability has been clinically approved for the treatment of head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Nevertheless, the PDT is only a strategy for local control of primary tumor, that it is hard to remove the residual tumor cells and inhibit the tumor metastasis. Recently, various smart nanomedicine-based strategies are developed to overcome the barriers of traditional PDT including the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers, limited tissue penetrability of light, inefficient induction of tumor cell death and tumor resistance to the therapy. More notably, a growing number of studies have focused on improving the therapeutic efficiency by eliciting host immune system with versatile nanoplatforms, which heralds a broader clinical application prospect of PDT in the future. Herein, the pathways of PDT induced-tumor destruction, especially the host immune response is summarized, and focusing on the recent progress of nanosystems-enhanced PDT through eliciting innate immunity and adaptive immunity. We expect it will provide some insights for conquering the drawbacks current PDT and expand the range of clinical application through this review.
