J Inorg Biochem 2023; 249:112384. [PMID: 37776828 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2023.112384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Novel zinc porphyrins (trans-A2B2 and A3B type) are reported containing pharmacophoric groups derived from Sorafenib at the meso-positions. The pharmacophoric and bioisosteric modification of Sorafenib was done with 2-methyl-4-nitro-N-phenylaniline. The in-vitro photo-cytotoxicity studies of zinc porphyrins on HeLa cells revealed excellent PDT based autophagy inhibition of cancer cells, with IC50 values between 6.2 to 15.4 μM. The trans-A2B2 type zinc porphyrin with two bioisosteric groups gave better cytotoxicity than A3B type. Molecular docking studies revealed excellent binding with mTOR protein kinase of the designed porphyrins. The confocal studies indicated significant ER localization of trans-A2B2 type zinc porphyrin in HeLa cells along with ROS generation. trans-A2B2 type zinc porphyrin induced ER stress in cancer cells, thereby causing elevation of Ca+2 ions in cytoplasm, which led to cancer cell death via autophagy pathway. The studies suggested that trans-A2B2 and A3B type zinc porphyrins can be developed as theranostic agents for anti-cancer applications.

Abstract
Glycoporphyrins are group of compounds of high value for the purpose of photodynamic therapy and other biomedical applications. Despite great progress in the field, new diversity-oriented syntheses of carbohydrate-porphyrin hybrids are increasingly desired. Herein, we present efficient, mild, and metal-free conditions for synthesis of glycoporphyrins. The versatile nature of the SNAr procedure is presented in 16 examples. Preliminary biological studies have been conducted on the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of the final molecules.

Abstract
The synthesis of water-soluble thioglycosylated A2B2 type porphyrins and their zinc(II) complexes is reported. The water-soluble trans-A2B2 porphyrins were synthesized in two steps, via [2+2] condensation between thioglycosylated dipyrromethanes and aromatic aldehydes in 15-21% yields. The thioglycosylated trans-A2B2 porphyrins showed decent in vitro singlet oxygen generation, which was supported by the intracellular DCFDA study. The in vitro cellular investigations of thioglycosylated A2B2 porphyrins were carried out in lung cancer cells (A549) to test their photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) activity. The PDT study revealed significant cytotoxicities of porphyrins with IC50 values between 23.3 and 44.2 μM in the dark, whereas, after visible light exposure, the photosensitizers exhibited IC50 values around 11.1-23.8 μM. The water-soluble thioglycosylated zinc(II) porphyrins having two meso-N-butylcarbazole groups exhibited an excellent degree of photocytotoxicity (IC50 = 4.6-8.8 μM). The flow cytometry analysis revealed that cellular uptake and ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation efficiency of water-soluble thioglycosylated zinc(II) porphyrins were considerably higher than nonmetalated porphyrins. Confocal microscopy images displayed substantial distribution in the endoplasmic reticulum with partial colocalization in mitochondria and lysosomes of water-soluble thioglycosylated zinc(II) porphyrins in A549 cells.

Abstract
The application of porphyrinoids in biomedical fields, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), requires the introduction of functional groups to tune their solubility for the biological environment and to allow a coupling to other active moieties or carrier systems. A valuable motif in this regard is the pentafluorophenyl (PFP) substituent, which can easily undergo a regiospecific nucleophilic replacement (SN Ar) of its para-fluorine atom by a number of nucleophiles. Here, it is shown that, instead of amino-substitution on the final porphyrinoid or BODIPY (boron dipyrromethene), the precursor 5-(PFP)-dipyrrane can be modified with amines (or alcohols). These dipyrranes were transformed into amino-substituted BODIPYs. Condensation of these dipyrranes with aldehydes gave access to trans-A2 B2 -porphyrins and trans-A2 B-corroles. By using pentafluorobenzaldehyde, it was possible to introduce another para-fluorine atom, which enabled the synthesis of multifunctionalized tetrapyrroles. Furthermore, alkoxy- and amino-substituted dipyrranes were applied to the synthesis of A3 B3 -hexaphyrins. The polar porphyrins that were prepared by using this method exhibited in vitro PDT activity against several tumor cell lines.

Abstract
Porphyrin derivatives for photodynamic therapy are frequently modified with hydrophilic groups to improve their water solubility; however, such hydrophilic groups not only improve the solubility but also affect the photodynamic behavior of the compound. The suitable number and pattern of the hydrophilic substituents depend on the nature of the hydrophilic groups. In this article, we explore the optimum architecture for 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP) derivatives bearing 2-hydroxyethylthio substituents. All five derivatives, namely mono-, cis-bis-, trans-bis-, tris- and tetrakis-substituted TFPP, were successfully synthesized by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of TFPP with 2-hydroxyethanethiol, separated, and subsequently identified using ESI-TOF mass spectrometry and (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopies. The hydrophilicity of the compounds increased with an increase in the number of 2-hydroxyethylthio groups. The singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical generation efficiencies were estimated using chemical probes following photoirradiation (λ>500nm). trans-Bissubstituted TFPP exhibited the highest efficiency for both singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical generation. The photocytotoxicities of the photosensitizers were evaluated in HeLa cells following photoirradiation (λ>500nm, 16Jcm(-2)), and increased with an increase in number of 2-hydroxyethylthio groups. In the case of 2-hydroxyethylthio-substituted TFPPs, the fully substituted TFPP was the most efficient architecture plausibly because of the result of the hydrophilicity of the compound rather than a greater efficiency in the generation of reactive oxygen species.
