Abstract
Over the last few decades, various forms of regulated cell death (RCD) have been discovered and were found to improve cancer treatment. Although there are several reviews on RCD induced by photodynamic therapy (PDT), a comprehensive summary covering metal-based photosensitizers (PSs) as RCD inducers has not yet been presented. In this review, we systematically summarize the works on metal-based PSs that induce different types of RCD, including ferroptosis, immunogenic cell death (ICD), and pyroptosis. The characteristics and mechanisms of each RCD are explained. At the end of each section, a summary of the reported commonalities between different metal-based PSs inducing the same RCD is emphasized, and future perspectives on metal-based PSs inducing novel forms of RCD are discussed at the end of the review. Considering the essential roles of metal-based PSs and RCD in cancer therapy, we hope that this review will provide the stage for future advances in metal-based PSs as RCD inducers.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is one of the most significant bio-metals that helps the body to form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. It is necessary for fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, blood sugar regulation, and normal brain and nerve functions. It accelerates the synthesis of proteins, vitamin C, and vitamin B. It is also involved in the catalysis of hematopoiesis, regulation of the endocrine level, and improvement of immune function. Again, Mn metalloenzymes like arginase, glutamine synthetase, phosphoenolpyruvate decarboxylase, and Mn superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) contribute to the metabolism processes and reduce oxidative stress against free radicals. Recent investigations have revealed that synthetic Mn-complexes act as antibacterial and antifungal agents. As a result, chemists and biologists have been actively involved in developing Mn-based drugs for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. Therefore, any therapeutic drugs based on manganese complexes would be invaluable for the treatment of cancer/infectious diseases and could be a better substitute for cisplatin and other related platinum based chemotherapeutic drugs. From this perspective, attempts have been made to discuss the interactions and nuclease activities of Mn(II/III/IV) complexes with DNA through which one can evaluate their therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Coordination of metal ions by the tetrapyrrolic macrocyclic ring of porphyrin-based photosensitizers (PSs) affects their photophysical properties and consequently, their photodynamic activity. Diamagnetic metals increase the singlet oxygen quantum yield while paramagnetic metals have the opposite effect. Since singlet oxygen is considered the main cell-damaging species in photodynamic therapy (PDT), the nature of the chelated cation would directly affect PDT efficacy. This expectation, however, is not always supported by experimental results and numerous exceptions have been reported. Understanding the effect of the chelated metal is hindered because different chelators were used. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the nature of chelated cation on the photophysical and photodynamic properties of metalloporphyrins, using the same tetrapyrrole core as a chelator of Ag(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), In(III), Mn(III), or Zn(II). Results demonstrated that with the exception of Ag(II), all paramagnetic metalloporphyrins were inefficient as generators of singlet oxygen and did not act as PSs. In contrast, the coordination of diamagnetic ions produced highly efficient PSs. The unexpected photodynamic activity of the Ag(II)-containing porphyrin was attributed to reduction of the chelated Ag(II) to Ag(I) or to demetallation of the complex, caused by cellular reductants and/or by exposure to light. Our results indicate that in biological systems, where PSs localize to various organelles and are subjected to the action of enzymes, reactive metabolites, and reducing or oxidizing agents, their physicochemical and photosensitizing properties change. Consequently, the photophysical properties alone cannot predict the anticancer efficacy of a PS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Discoloration of teeth following antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a serious concern. Common photosensitizers are colored, and access to a photosensitizer that does not leave color on the teeth or is the same color as the enamel and dentin is highly demanded. The physicochemical characterization, anti-virulence, and antimicrobial effects of a novel rutin-gallium (III) (Rt-Ga) complex as novel photosensitizer are presented herein. MATERIALS AND METHODS Photophysical properties and cytotoxicity of the Rt-Ga complex were evaluated in comparison with the parental rutin. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation following Rt-Ga complex-mediated aPDT was measured using the fluorescent 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (H2DCF-DA) method. The anti-biofilm effects of Rt-Ga complex-mediated aPDT on Streptococcus mutans were assessed using a colorimetric assay. The virulence‑associated gtfB gene expression was assessed following Rt-Ga complex-mediated aPDT by quantitative real‑time PCR. RESULTS The photophysical properties of the Rt-Ga complex revealed a significant blue-shift in absorption (60 nm shift) and increased extinction coefficient (4100 M -1 cm -1; at λmax = 450 nm). Average (± SEM) DCF fluorescence intensities in an arbitrary unit (A.U.) were 7.1 ± 0.9, 4.1 ± 0.5, and 1.7 ± 0.3 for 10.0 μM of Rt-Ga complex-mediated aPDT, 7.5 μM of Rt-Ga complex-mediated aPDT, and 10.0 μM of Rt-Ga complex alone, respectively. The corresponding DCF fluorescence intensities were 710% (P = 0.001), 410% (P = 0.001), and 170% (P = 0.02) of the untreated S. mutans as the control group (1.0 ± 0.1 A.U.), respectively. The novel Rt-Ga complex-mediated aPDT exhibited no toxicity against primary human gingival fibroblast cells, a dose dependent decrease in S. mutans biofilm cell survival and virulence were observed (91.4% and 11.7-fold, respectively). CONCLUSION The Rt-Ga complex-mediated anti-virulence and antimicrobial photodynamic effects were superior to the one caused by rutin alone making the Rt-Ga complex a more promising photosensitizer than the parent material.

Abstract
The presence of heavy elements in photosensitizers (PS) strongly influences their electronic and photophysical properties, and hence, conjugation of PS with a suitable element is regarded as a potential strategy to improve their photodynamic properties. Moreover, PS conjugated to metal ion or metal complex and heavy atoms such as halogen have attracted considerable attention as promising agents for multimodal or synergistic cancer therapy. These tetrapyrrole compounds depending on the type and nature of the inorganic elements have been explored for photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy, X-ray photon activation therapy (PAT), and radiotherapy. Particularly, the combination of metal-based PS and X-ray irradiation has been investigated as a promising novel approach for treating deep-seated tumors, which in the case of PDT is a major limitation due to low light penetration in tissue. This review will summarize the present status of evidence on the effect of insertion of metal or halogen on the photophysical properties of PS and the effectiveness of various metal and halogenated PS investigated for PDT, chemotherapy, and PAT as mono and/or combination therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) are therapeutic techniques based on a photosensitizer (PS) and light. These techniques allow the spatial and temporal control of the activation of drugs with light. Transition metal complexes are attractive compounds as photoactivatable prodrugs since their excited states can be appropriately designed by subtle modifications of the ligands, the metal centre, or the oxidation state. However, most metal-based PSs contain heavy metals such as Ru, Os, Ir, Pt or Au, which are expensive and non-earth-abundant, contrary to first-row transition metals. In this context, the exploration of the photochemical properties of complexes based on first-row transition metals appears to be extremely promising. This did encourage several groups to develop promising PSs based on these metals. This review presents up-to-date state-of-the-art information on first-row-transition metal complexes, from titanium to zinc in regard to their application as PSs for phototherapeutic applications.

Abstract
The advance of porphyrins as artificial nucleases along the years have developed a class of compounds having potential therapeutic applications. Being an extrovert of chemistry, a variety of chemical modifications have been done on porphyrin macrocycle in order to improve the spectroscopic properties and to adapt as artificial receptors that can recognize molecules. The last twenty years has witnessed broad research in the arena of porphyrin- DNA interactions and their evolution from simple to more complex entities. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the porphyrin-based structural modifications, with a specific emphasis on various effects of porphyrin on DNA cleavage potency. We particularly detailed the nuclease activity of cationic and anionic porphyrins, porphyrin dimers and conjugates as well as heme proteins till the third generation porphyrins as artificial nucleases.

Abstract
In this review we present an updated survey of the main synthesis methods of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in order to obtain various tailored nanosystems for biomedical imaging. The synthesis approach significantly impacts on the AuNPs properties such as surface chemistry, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity. In recent years, nanomedicine emphasized the development of functionalized AuNPs for biomedical imaging. AuNPs are a good option for used as delivery photosensitizer agents for PDT of cancer. For example, the complex formed from AuNPs functionalized with PEGylate porphyrins presents several advantages in the medical field such as a better use in photodynamic therapy because of high triplet states and singlet oxygen quantum yield efficiency of porphyrin molecules.

Abstract
A series of iron(III), manganese(III) and copper(III) mono-hydroxyl corrole complexes had been prepared and well characterized by UV-vis, 1H NMR, 19F NMR and HR-MS. These metallocorroles may bind to CT-DNA through external binding mode. Metallocorrole Fe-2c exhibited significant phototoxicity and low toxicity toward A549 tumor cells. While manganese (III) and copper (III) corroles showed hypotoxicity to A549, MCF-7 and HepG-2 tumor cells, whether under dark or illumination conditions. All tested metallocorroles exhibited non-toxicity to human normal cells (GES-1) with or without irradiation at 625 nm. Cell cycle analysis indicated that metallocorrole Fe-2c arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase and increased the Sub-G1 phase in A549 cell lines. It was mainly localized at mitochondria and could significantly reduce mitochondrial membrane potential after photodynamic treatment, which would further induce tumor cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence showed that the particulate matter exposure is associated with atherosclerotic plaque progression, which may be related to foam cell formation, but the mechanism is still unknown. The study was aimed to investigate the toxic effects and possible mechanism of PM2.5 on the formation of macrophage foam cells induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). Results showed that PM2.5 induced cytotoxicity by decreasing the cell viability and increasing the LDH level in macrophage foam cells. PM2.5 aggravated the lipid accumulation in ox-LDL-stimulated macrophage RAW264.7 within markedly increasing level of intracellular lipid by Oil red O staining. The level of ROS increased obivously after co-exposure to PM2.5 and ox-LDL than single exposure group. In addition, serious mitochondrial damage such as the mitochondrial swelling, cristae rupturing and disappearance were observed in macrophage foam cells. The loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) further exacerbated the mitochondrial damage in PM2.5-induced macrophage foam cells. The apoptotic rate increased more severely via up-regulated protein level of Bax, Cyt C, Caspase-9, Caspase-3, and down-regulated that of Bcl-2, indicating that PM2.5 activated the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis pathway. In summary, our results demonstrated that PM2.5 aggravated the lipid accumulation, mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in macrophage foam cells, suggesting that PM2.5 was a risk factor of atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
In this study, our fundamental research interest was to understand how negatively charged porphyrins could interact with a plant cell wall and further act inside cells. Thus, three anionic porphyrins differing in their anionic external groups (carboxylates, sulfonates, and phosphonates) were tested. First, the tobacco cell wall was isolated to monitor in vitro its interactions with the three different anionic porphyrins. Unexpectedly, these negatively charged molecules were able to bind to the negatively charged cell wall probably by weak bonds such as hydrogen bonds and/or electrostatic interactions when the tetrapyrrolic core was protonated. Moreover, we showed that at the pH of spent culture medium (4.5), the neutrality of the carboxylated porphyrin (TPPC) facilitated its cell wall crossing while the diffusion of the two other sulfonated (TPPS) or phosphonated (TPPP) porphyrins that remained anionic was delayed. Once inside Tobacco Bright Yellow-2 (TBY-2) cells, TPPC induced higher levels of production of both H2O2 and malondialdehyde compared to TPPS after illumination. That result correlated well with strong cell death induction by photoactivated TPPC. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species-scavenging enzymes such as catalase, peroxidases, and superoxide dismutase were also strongly downmodulated in response to TPPC, while these enzymes were almost unchanged in response to photoactivated TPPS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that took into account the whole story from interactions of porphyrins with a plant cell wall to their photodynamic activity inside the cells.

Bioorg Med Chem 2019; 27:2598-2608. [PMID: 30992204 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2019.03.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2019] [Accepted: 03/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Water-soluble porphyrins are considered promising drug candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT). This study investigated the PDT activity of a new water-soluble, anionic porphyrin (1-Zn), which possesses four negative charges. The photodynamic anticancer activity of 1-Zn was investigated by the MTT assay, with mTHPC as a positive control. The cellular distribution was determined by fluorescence microscopy. Holographic and phase contrast images were recorded after 1-Zn treatment with a HoloMonitor™ M3 instrument. The inhibition of A549 cell growth achieved by inducing apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. DNA damage was investigated by the comet assay. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was also measured by western blot assays. 1-Zn had better phototoxicity against A549 cells than HeLa and HepG2 cancer cells. Interestingly, 1-Zn was clearly located almost entirely in the cell cytoplasmic region/organelles. The late apoptotic population was less than 1.0% at baseline in the untreated and only light-treated cells and increased to 40.5% after 1-Zn treatment and irradiation (P < 0.05). 1-Zn triggered significant ROS generation after irradiation, causing ΔΨm disruption (P < 0.01) and DNA damage. 1-Zn induced A549 cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. In addition, 1-Zn bound in the groove of DNA via an outside binding mode by pi-pi stacking and hydrogen bonding. 1-Zn exhibits good photonuclease activity and might serve as a potential photosensitizer (PS) for lung cancer cells.

Abstract
A new protocol for the preparation of thioaryl-porphyrins is described. The compounds were prepared from different disulfides employing NaBH4 as a reducing agent. The methodology allowed the preparation of four different thioaryl-porphyrins in very-good to excellent yields under soft conditions, such as short reaction times and smooth heating. Additionally, the photophysical properties of new compounds were determined and experimental and theoretical DNA interactions were assessed.

Abstract
A new tin(IV) corrole, 5,10,15-tris(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl) corrole tin(IV) (1-Sn) was synthesized and characterized. The DNA binding, photocleavage and anti-cancer activity were studied and compared with its free-base. The interaction of 1-Sn and its free-base 1 with calf thymus DNA had been investigated by spectroscopic methods, viscosity measurements and molecular docking analysis. The results revealed that 1-Sn and 1 could interact with calf thymus DNA via an outside groove binding mode. Furthermore, although 1 displayed no photonuclease activity, 1-Sn exhibited good photonuclease activity as indicated by agarose gel electrophoresis, and superoxide anion might be the active intermediate for the DNA scission. Finally, 1 was nontoxic but 1-Sn displayed cytotoxicity towards A549 tumor cell lines.

Abstract
In this work, the N-confused porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-2-aza-21-carbaporphyrin (NCTPP) was immobilized on neutral or cationic supports based on silica and on Merrifield resin. The new materials were characterized by appropriate techniques (UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, and zeta potential analysis). Piezoelectric quartz crystal gold electrodes were coated with the different hybrids and their ability to interact with heavy metals was evaluated. The preliminary results obtained showed that the new materials can be explored for metal cations detection and the modification of the material surface is a key factor in tuning the metal selectivity.
