Abstract
Methods to control polymorphic modifications of phthalocyanines using optical (laser) radiation and possible photoinduced transformations of polymorphs are of practical interest in problems of identification and attribution of paintings, laser (micro)sampling, and the development of phthalocyanine structures for technical applications in optics, optoelectronics, and medicine. In this work, we compare the thermal and laser-induced changes of a gouache paint layer based on copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) PB15. The thermally induced color changes of the paint layer are quantified using the CIE Lab D65/10 color space. (Nano)rods formed in the paint layer when the sample is heated to 450°C at normal pressure without humidity control are studied using absorption spectroscopy, Raman microspectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that the formation of (nano)rods is related to the α→β polymorph transition of CuPc. Low-frequency markers of the CuPc β-polymorph are revealed in the Raman spectra. For the sample containing (nano)rods, the a* color coordinate substantially increases (by about 30 units), whereas the L* and b* coordinates remain almost unchanged. Irradiation with a single nanosecond laser pulse at a wavelength of 532 nm leads to the laser ablation of the paint layer at fluences exceeding a threshold level of about 3 J/cm2. Irradiation at fluences of greater than 0.5 J/cm2, but lower than the ablation threshold leads to color change of the paint layer due to the α→ε transition of CuPc. Similar transformations are observed at the periphery of and inside ablation crater.

Amphiphilic Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles as Imaging and Far-Red Photokilling Agents for Photodynamic Therapy in Zebrafish Embryo Xenografts. Adv Healthc Mater 2024:e2401683. [PMID: 38973211 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202401683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
This work introduces rationally designed, improved amphiphilic single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) for imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in zebrafish embryo xenografts. SCNPs are ultrasmall polymeric nanoparticles with sizes similar to proteins, making them ideal for biomedical applications. Amphiphilic SCNPs result from the self-assembly in water of isolated synthetic polymeric chains through intrachain hydrophobic interactions, mimicking natural biomacromolecules and, specially, proteins (in size and when loaded with drugs, metal ions or fluorophores also in function). These ultrasmall, soft nanoparticles have various applications, including catalysis, sensing, and nanomedicine. Initial in vitro experiments with nonfunctionalized, amphiphilic SCNPs loaded with a photosensitizing Zn phthalocyanine with four nonperipheral isobutylthio substituents, ZnPc, showed promise for PDT. Herein, the preparation of improved, amphiphilic SCNPs containing ZnPc as highly efficient photosensitizer encapsulated within the nanoparticle and surrounded by anthracene units is disclosed. The amount of anthracene groups and ZnPc molecules within each single-chain nanoparticle controls the imaging and PDT properties of these nanocarriers. Critically, this work opens the way to improved PDT applications based on amphiphilic SCNPs as a first step toward ideal, long-term artificial photo-oxidases (APO).

In Silico and In Vitro Studies on an Asymmetrical Porphyrin Derivative with Therapeutic Potential in Skin Disorders. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:688. [PMID: 38931355 PMCID: PMC11206637 DOI: 10.3390/ph17060688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
For developing novel photosensitizers with therapeutic potential in non-malignant and malignant cutaneous disorders, the unsymmetrical porphyrin, 5-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-10, 15, 20-tris-(4-carboxymethylphenyl) porphyrin, was evaluated in silico and in vitro. The cellular uptake of the investigated porphyrin and its ability to perform photodynamic therapy were investigated in terms of the viability, proliferation, and necrosis of human HaCaT keratinocytes and human Hs27 skin fibroblasts, in correlation with the predictions regarding diffusion through cell membranes, ADMET profile (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, toxicity), and potential pharmacological mechanism. Molecular docking and 250 ns molecular dynamics simulations revealed that P5.2 has the potential to form a relatively stable complex with the carbonic anhydrase IX catalytic site, the lowest predicted free energy of binding (MM/PBSA) being -39.097 kcal/mol. The results of the in vitro study showed that P5.2 is incorporated within 24 h in the investigated cells, especially in HaCaT keratinocytes, indicating its photosensitizing ability. Nevertheless, P5.2 does not exert significant cytotoxicity in "dark" conditions. In turn, PDT induced a decrease in the number of metabolically active HaCaT keratinocytes within 24 h, accompanied by a 4-fold increase in lactate dehydrogenase release, indicating its ability to perform PDT in human skin cells. The experimental results suggest that the asymmetrical porphyrin is a promising candidate theranostics agent for skin disorders.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is a noninvasive cancer treatment that utilizes photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species upon light exposure, leading to tumor cell apoptosis. Although photosensitizers have shown efficacy in clinical practice, they are associated with certain disadvantages, such as a certain degree of toxicity and limited availability. Recent studies have shown that natural product photosensitizers offer promising options due to their low toxicity and potential therapeutic effects. In this review, we provide a summary and evaluation of the current clinical photosensitizers that are commonly used and delve into the anticancer potential of natural product photosensitizers like psoralens, quinonoids, chlorophyll derivatives, curcumin, chrysophanol, doxorubicin, tetracyclines, Leguminosae extracts, and Lonicera japonica extract. The emphasis is on their phototoxicity, pharmacological benefits, and effectiveness against different types of diseases. Novel and more effective natural product photosensitizers for future clinical application are yet to be explored in further research. In conclusion, natural product photosensitizers have potential in photodynamic therapy and represent a promising area of research for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Antibiotics development during the last century permitted unprecedent medical advances. However, it is undeniable that there has been an abuse and misuse of antimicrobials in medicine and cosmetics, food production and food processing, in the last decades. The pay toll for human development and consumism is the emergence of extended antimicrobial resistance and omnipresent contamination of the biosphere. The One Health concept recognizes the interconnection of human, environmental and animal health, being impossible alter one without affecting the others. In this context, antibiotic decontamination from water-sources is of upmost importance, with new and more efficient strategies needed. In this framework, light-driven antibiotic degradation has gained interest in the last few years, strongly relying in semiconductor photocatalysts. To improve the semiconductor properties (i.e., efficiency, recovery, bandgap width, dispersibility, wavelength excitation, etc.), bio-based supporting material as photocatalysts matrices have been thoroughly studied, exploring synergetic effects as operating parameters that could improve the photodegradation of antibiotics. The present work describes some of the most relevant advances of the last 5 years on photodegradation of antibiotics and other antimicrobial molecules. It presents the conjugation of semiconductor photocatalysts to different organic scaffolds (biochar and biopolymers), then to describe hybrid systems based on g-C3N4 and finally addressing the emerging use of organic photocatalysts. These systems were developed for the degradation of several antibiotics and antimicrobials, and tested under different conditions, which are analyzed and thoroughly discussed along the work.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy provides a promising solution for treating various cancer types. In this study, three distinct asymmetric porphyrin-cisplatin complex photosensitizers (ZnPt-P1, ZnPt-P2, and ZnPt-P3) were synthesized, each having unique side chains. Through a set of experiments involving singlet oxygen detection and density functional theory, ZnPt-P1 was demonstrated to have excellent efficacy, exceeding that of ZnPt-P2 and ZnPt-P3. Notably, ZnPt-1 showed significant phototoxicity while maintaining low dark toxicity when tested on HepG2 cells. Additionally, further examination revealed that ZnPt-P1 had the capability to generate reactive oxygen species within cancer cells when exposed to light irradiation. Taken together, these results highlight the potential of ZnPt-P1 as a photosensitizer for use in photodynamic therapy. This study contributes to enhancing cancer treatment methodologies and provides insights for the future development of innovative drugs for photosensitization.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common cancer types in humans worldwide. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer. However, its underlying mechanism needs to be studied thoroughly. The present study focused on the antitumor effect and underlying mechanism of the use of hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD)-PDT against human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells via regulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to measure cell viability. Migration was evaluated using a wound healing assay. An annexin V-FITC/PI kit was used to determine cell apoptosis rates. Protein expression levels were analyzed via western blotting. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to detect gene expression levels. A 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate kit was chosen to evaluate intracellular reactive oxygen species levels via flow cytometry. Cell viability and migration were decreased in KYSE-150 cells after HpD-PDT treatment. Cellular apoptosis was induced after HpD-PDT treatment, and the same trend was observed for autophagy. Furthermore, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was inhibited. The viability and migration of KYSE-150 cells were significantly inhibited, and apoptosis was induced more effectively following treatment with a combination of HpD-PDT and the PI3K inhibitor, a final concentration of 20 µM LY294002. In conclusion, HpD-PDT could suppress esophageal cancer cell viability, induce apoptosis and inhibit migration by downregulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Combination of HpD-PDT with PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) could enhance the therapeutic efficacy compared with that demonstrated by HpD-PDT alone. Further studies on combination therapy are required to achieve improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract
In order to select for further development novel photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy in cutaneous disorders, three unsymmetrical porphyrins, namely 5-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin (P2.2), 5-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-carboxymethylphenyl) porphyrin (P3.2), and 5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin (P4.2), along with their fully symmetrical counterparts 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin (P2.1) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-carboxymethylphenyl) porphyrin (P3.1) were comparatively evaluated. The absorption and fluorescence properties, as well as atomic force microscopy measurements were performed to evaluate the photophysical characteristics as well as morphological and textural properties of the mentioned porphyrins. The cellular uptake of compounds and the effect of photodynamic therapy on the viability, proliferation, and necrosis of human HaCaT keratinocytes, human Hs27 skin fibroblasts, human skin SCL II squamous cell carcinoma, and B16F10 melanoma cells were assessed in vitro, in correlation with the structural and photophysical properties of the investigated porphyrins, and with the predictions regarding diffusion through cell membranes and ADMET properties. All samples were found to be isotropic and self-similar, with slightly different degrees of aggregability, had a relatively low predicted toxicity (class V), and a predicted long half-life after systemic administration. The in vitro study performed on non-malignant and malignant skin-relevant cells highlighted that the asymmetric P2.2 porphyrin qualified among the five investigated porphyrins to be a promising photosensitizer candidate for PDT in skin disorders. P2.2 was shown to accumulate well within cells, and induced by PDT a massive decrease in the number of metabolically active skin cells, partly due to cell death by necrosis. P2.2 had in this respect a better behavior than the symmetric P.2.1 compound and the related asymmetric compound P4.2. The strong action of P2.2-mediated PDT on normal skin cells might be an important drawback for further development of this compound. Meanwhile, the P3.1 and P3.2 compounds were not able to accumulate well in skin cells, and did not elicit significant PDT in vitro. Taken together, our experiments suggest that P2.2 can be a promising candidate for the development of novel photosensitizers for PDT in skin disorders.

Shi L, Sun Z, Richy N, Blanchard-Desce M, Mongin O, Paul F, Paul-Roth CO. Giant Star-shaped meso-substituted Fluorescent Porphyrins with Fluorenyl-containing Arms Designed for Two-photon Oxygen Photosensitization. Chemistry 2023:e202303243. [PMID: 38116883 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202303243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
In the continuation of previous studies on carbon-rich meso-tetraarylporphyrins featuring 2,7-fluorene units at their periphery, the effect of changing the peripheral dendritic arms for linear arms on their oxygen-photosensitizing ability, their fluorescence and their two-photon absorption (2PA) properties is now analyzed. Thus, starburst porphyrins possessing up to twenty conjugated fluorenyl units were isolated and studied. More precisely, a series of five new free-base porphyrins featuring fully conjugated arms incorporating an increasing number of fluorenyl groups connected via 1,2-alkenyl spacers were synthesized, along with their Zn(II) complexes. Upon excitation in the arm-centred π-π* absorption band, an efficient energy transfer takes place from the peripheral fluorenyl units to the central porphyrin core, leading to intense red-light emission and oxygen photosensitization by the latter. More interestingly, while the linear optical properties of these porphyrins were only slightly improved compared to those of their dendrimer analogues for photodynamic therapy (PDT) or fluorescence imaging, their 2PA cross-sections were much more significantly boosted, evidencing the key role played by different structures on nonlinear optical properties. Finally, by comparison with other porphyrin-based two-photon photosensitizers reported in the literature, we show that these new "semi-disconnected" starburst systems exhibit a remarkable trade-off between intrinsic 2PA, fluorescence and oxygen photosensitization.

Enhancing Visible-Light Photocatalysis with Pd(II) Porphyrin-Based TiO 2 Hybrid Nanomaterials: Preparation, Characterization, ROS Generation, and Photocatalytic Activity. Molecules 2023; 28:7819. [PMID: 38067548 PMCID: PMC10707769 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28237819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Novel hybrid TiO2-based materials were obtained by adsorption of two different porphyrins on the surface of nanoparticles-commercially available 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) and properly modified metalloporphyrin-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-difluoro-3-sulfophenyl)porphyrin palladium(II) (PdF2POH). The immobilization of porphyrins on the surface of TiO2 was possible due to the presence of sulfonyl groups. To further elevate the adsorption of porphyrin, an anchoring linker-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA)-was used. The synthesis of hybrid materials was proven by electronic absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and photoelectrochemistry. Results prove the successful photosensitization of TiO2 to visible light by both porphyrins. However, the presence of the palladium ion in the modifier structure played a key role in strong adsorption, enhanced charge separation, and thus effective photosensitization. The incorporation of halogenated metalloporphyrins into TiO2 facilitates the enhancement of the comprehensive characteristics of the investigated materials and enables the evaluation of their performance under visible light. The effectiveness of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was also determined. Porphyrin-based materials with the addition of PHBA seemed to generate ROS more effectively than other composites. Interestingly, modifications influenced the generation of singlet oxygen for TPPS but not hydroxyl radical, in contrast to PdF2POH, where singlet oxygen generation was not influenced but hydroxyl radical generation was increased. Palladium (II) porphyrin-modified materials were characterized by higher photostability than TPPS-based nanostructures, as TPPS@PHBA-P25 materials showed the highest singlet oxygen generation and may be oxidized during light exposure. Photocatalytic activity tests with two model pollutants-methylene blue (MB) and the opioid drug tramadol (TRML)-confirmed the light dose-dependent degradation of those two compounds, especially PdF2POH@P25, which led to the virtually complete degradation of MB.

Abstract
Cancer treatment is a crucial area of research and development, as current chemotherapeutic treatments can have severe side effects or poor outcomes. In the constant search for new strategies that are localized and minimally invasive and produce minimal side effects, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an exciting therapeutic modality that has been gaining attention. The use of theranostics, which combine diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, can further improve treatment monitoring through image guidance. This study explores the potential of a theranostic agent consisting of four Gd(III) DTTA complexes (DTTA: diethylenetriamine-N,N,N″,N″-tetraacetate) grafted to a meso-tetraphenylporphyrin core for PDT, fluorescence, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The agent was first tested in vitro on both nonmalignant TIB-75 and MRC-5 and tumoral CT26 and HT-29 cell lines and subsequently evaluated in vivo in a preclinical colorectal tumor model. Advanced MRI and optical imaging techniques were employed with engineered quantitative in vivo molecular imaging based on dynamic acquisition sequences to track the biodistribution of agents in the body. With 3D quantitative volume computed by MRI and tumoral cell function assessed by bioluminescence imaging, we could demonstrate a significant impact of the molecular agent on tumor growth following light application. Further exhaustive histological analysis confirmed these promising results, making this theranostic agent a potential drug candidate for cancer.

Abstract
A known tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP) having an amino functional group [5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-(triphenyl)porphyrin] was converted into the corresponding monomer by means of condensation with acryloyl chloride. Simple radical polymerization of the porphyrin monomer and a glycosyl monomer in the presence of acrylamide as a regulator monomer in order to avoid steric interference gave a water-soluble glycopolymer bearing porphyrin moieties. Spectroscopic analyses suggested incorporation of porphyrin moieties in the glycopolymer. The physical properties of the water-soluble glycopolymer bearing porphyrin moieties were examined in aqueous media, and the results also indicated the incorporation of TPP moieties in the polymer. Uptake of the polymer into HeLa cells was observed, and the cytotoxicity of the polymer was confirmed by microscopic analyses. The glycopolymer bearing porphyrin moieties is promising not only for photodynamic therapy but also as an anti-cancer reagent.

Abstract
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an approved treatment modality, which is presently receiving great attention due to its limited invasiveness, high selectivity and limited susceptibility to drug resistance. Another related research area currently expanding rapidly is the development of novel theranostic agents based on the combination of PDT with different imaging technologies, which allows for both therapy and diagnosis. This combination can help to address issues of suboptimal biodistribution and selectivity through regional imaging, while therapeutic agents enable an effective and personalized therapy. In this review, we describe compounds, whose structures combine PDT photosensitizers with different imaging probes - including examples for near-infrared optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear imaging (PET or SPECT), generating novel theranostic drug candidates. We have intentionally focused our attention on novel compounds, which have already been investigated preclinically in vivo in order to demonstrate the potential of such theranostic agents for clinical applications.

Abstract
A new fluorinated manganese porphyrin, (Mn-TPP-p-CF3 ) is reported capable of providing, based on the Mn(III)/Mn(II) equilibrium, dual 1 H relaxivity and 19 F NMR response to redox changes. The physical-chemical characterization of both redox states in DMSO-d6 /H2 O evidenced that the 1 H relaxometric and 19 F NMR properties are appropriate for differential redox MRI detection. The Mn(III)-F distance (dMn-F =9.7-10 Å), as assessed by DFT calculations, is well tailored to allow for adequate paramagnetic effect of Mn(III) on 19 F T1 and T2 relaxation times. Mn-TPP-p-CF3 has a reversible Mn(II)/Mn(III) redox potential of 0.574 V vs. NHE in deoxygenated aqueous HEPES/ THF solution. The reduction of Mn(III)-TPP-p-CF3 in the presence of ascorbic acid is slowly, but fully reversed in the presence of air oxygen, as monitored by UV-Vis spectrometry and 19 F NMR. The broad 1 H and 19 F NMR signals of Mn(III)-TPP-p-CF3 disappear in the presence of 1 equivalent ascorbate replaced by a shifted and broadened 19 F NMR signal from Mn(II)-TPP-p-CF3 . Phantom 19 F MR images in DMSO show a MRI signal intensity decrease upon reduction of Mn(III)-TPP-p-CF3 , retrieved upon complete reoxidation in air within ~24 h. 1 H NMRD curves of the Mn(III)/(II)-TPP-p-CF3 chelates in mixed DMSO/water solvent have the typical shape of Mn(II)/Mn(III) porphyrins.

Abstract
Combination therapy against cancer has gained increasing attention because it can help to target multiple pathways to tackle oncologic progression and improve the limited antitumor effect of single-agent therapy. Chinese medicine has been studied extensively in cancer therapy and proven to be efficacious in many cases due to its wide spectrum of anticancer activities. In this review, we aim to summarize the recent progress of active ingredients from Chinese medicine (AIFCM) in combination with various cancer therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, gene therapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy and immunotherapy. In addition to highlighting the potential contribution of AIFCM in combination cancer therapy, we also elucidate the underlying mechanisms behind their synergistic effect and improved anticancer efficacy, thereby encouraging the inclusion of these AIFCM as part of effective armamentarium in fighting intractable cancers. Finally, we present the challenges and future perspectives of AIFCM combination therapy as a feasible and promising strategy for the optimization of cancer treatment and better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Nanomotors, as a new type of micro-device, show good performance in terms of rapid transportation and deep penetration through their autonomous motion. However, their ability to efficiently break physiological barriers still remains a great challenge. Herein, we first developed a thermal-accelerated urease driven human serum albumin (HSA) nanomotor based on photothermal intervention (PTI) to achieve chemotherapy drugfree-phototherapy. The HANM@FI (HSA-AuNR@FA@Ur@ICG) is composed of a main body of biocompatible HSA, modified by gold nanorods (AuNR) and loaded with functional molecules of folic acid (FA) and indocyanine green (ICG). It promotes its own motion by breaking down urea to produce carbon dioxide and ammonia. In particular, the nanomotor is conveniently operated via near-infrared combined photothermal therapy (PTT)/ photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve an accelerated De value from 0.73 μm2s-1 to 1.01μm2s-1, and ideal tumor ablation at the same time. In contrast to customary urease-driven nanodrug-stacked engine, this HANM@FI has both targeting and imaging-guided capabilities, and finally achieves superior anti-tumor effects without chemotherapy drugs, through a "two-in-one" (motor mobility plus unique phototherapy in chemotherapy-drugfree phototherapy) strategy. This PTI effect with urease-driven nanomotors may offer further possibilities for future clinical applications of nanomedicines by enabling deep penetration and a subsequent chemotherapy-drugfree combination therapy strategy.

[PMID: 36984360 PMCID: PMC10056935 DOI: 10.3390/ma16062480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Nanocomposite films based on macrocyclic compounds (zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl) 21H,23H-porphyrin (TPyP)) and metal oxide nanoparticles (ZnO or CuO) were deposited by matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE). 1,4-dioxane was used as a solvent in the preparation of MAPLE targets that favor the deposition of films with a low roughness, which is a key feature for their integration in structures for optoelectronic applications. The influence of the addition of ZnO nanoparticles (~20 nm in size) or CuO nanoparticles (~5 nm in size) in the ZnPc:TPyP mixture and the impact of the added metal oxide amount on the properties of the obtained composite films were evaluated in comparison to a reference layer based only on an organic blend. Thus, in the case of nanocomposite films, the vibrational fingerprints of both organic compounds were identified in the infrared spectra, their specific strong absorption bands were observed in the UV-Vis spectra, and a quenching of the TPyP emission band was visible in the photoluminescence spectra. The morphological analysis evidenced agglomerated particles on the composite film surface, but their presence has no significant impact on the roughness of the MAPLE deposited layers. The current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of the structures based on the nanocomposite films deposited by MAPLE revealed the critical role played by the layer composition and component ratio, an improvement in the electrical parameters values being achieved only for the films with a certain type and optimum amount of metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin 1 receptor (CCK1R) is the only G protein coupled receptor that is activated in type II photodynamic action, but whether this is a property common to both mammalian and avian species is not known. In this work, pancreatic acini were isolated from the rat, mouse, and Peking duck, and photodynamic CCK1R activation was examined. Isolated pancreatic acini were exposed to photosensitizer sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine (SALPC) and photodynamic action elicited by a brief light-emitting diode (LED 675 nm) pulse (1.5 min); photodynamic CCK1R activation was assessed by Fura-2 fluorescent calcium imaging. Photodynamic action was found to induce persistent calcium oscillations in rat, mouse, and Peking duck pancreatic acini, with the sensitivity order of mouse > rat > Peking duck. Photodynamically-activated CCK1R could be inhibited reversibly by CCK1R antagonist devazepide (1 μM); photodynamic CCK1R activation was blocked by pre-incubation with 1O2 quencher Trolox C (300 µM). The sensitivity of photodynamic CCK1R activation was correlated with the increasing size of the disordered region in intracellular loop 3. These data suggest that photodynamic CCK1R activation is conserved in both mammalian and avian species, as evidenced by the presence of the photodynamic activation motif “YFM” in transmembrane domain 3.

Interaction of Some Asymmetrical Porphyrins with U937 Cell Membranes-In Vitro and In Silico Studies. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041640.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the effects exerted in vitro by three asymmetrical porphyrins (5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin, 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinatozinc(II), and 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-acetoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinatocopper(II)) on the transmembrane potential and the membrane anisotropy of U937 cell lines, using bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid)trimethine oxonol (DiBAC4(3)) and 1-(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene p-toluenesulfonate (TMA-DPH), respectively, as fluorescent probes for fluorescence spectrophotometry. The results indicate the hyperpolarizing effect of porphyrins in the concentration range of 0.5, 5, and 50 μM on the membrane of human U937 monocytic cells. Moreover, the tested porphyrins were shown to increase membrane anisotropy. Altogether, the results evidence the interaction of asymmetrical porphyrins with the membrane of U937 cells, with potential consequences on cellular homeostasis. Molecular docking simulations, and Molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA) free energy of binding calculations, supported the hypothesis that the investigated porphyrinic compounds could potentially bind to membrane proteins, with a critical role in regulating the transmembrane potential. Thus, both the free base porphyrins and the metalloporphyrins could bind to the SERCA2b (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase isoform 2b) calcium pump, while the metal complexes may specifically interact and modulate calcium-dependent (large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, Slo1/KCa1.1), and ATP-sensitive (KATP), potassium channels. Further studies are required to investigate these interactions and their impact on cellular homeostasis and functionality.

Abstract
In photodynamic therapy (PDT), a photosensitizer (PS) excited with a specific wavelength, and in the presence of oxygen, gives rise to photochemical reactions that lead to cell damage. Over the past few years, larval stages of the G. mellonella moth have proven to be an excellent alternative animal model for in vivo toxicity testing of novel compounds and virulence testing. In this article, we report a series of preliminary studies on G. mellonella larvae to evaluate the photoinduced stress response by a porphyrin (PS) (TPPOH). The tests performed evaluated PS toxicity on larvae and cytotoxicity on hemocytes, both in dark conditions and following PDT. Cellular uptake was also evaluated by fluorescence and flow cytometry. The results obtained demonstrate how the administration of PS and subsequent irradiation of larvae affects not only larvae survival rate, but also immune system cells. It was also possible to verify PS's uptake and uptake kinetics in hemocytes, observing a maximum peak at 8 h. Given the results obtained in these preliminary tests, G. mellonella appears to be a promising model for preclinical PS tests.

Abstract
Protonated achiral H2 TPPS4 spontaneously self-arranges at acids pH and high ionic strength to build mesoscopic J-aggregates that are intrinsically chiral. According to the symmetry rule aggregation leads to a racemate that, however, can be unbalanced by chemical (chiral pollutants) or physical stimuli (as vortexing the solution). Vortexing the title racemate, in principle, might either induce chiral separation or chiral enrichment. Indeed, herein it is shown that vortices enable the resolution of this racemic solution exploiting the tendency to deposit, onto the quartz cuvette walls, of the enantiomer favored by the stirring sense. Simultaneously, over time, it was found that the opposite chiral conformation becomes prevalent in solution realizing a significant enantiomeric resolution. Therefore, after removing all stirring-favored chiral J-aggregate from the solution, the recovering and isolating of the desired enantiomers from the cuvette walls was successfully obtained without complex procedures. In this sense, it has been demonstrated that the stirring forces are executively able to fulfil the chiral separation in H2 TPPS4 J-aggregates, employed as model of a self-assembled system in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Despite specialists' efforts to find the best solutions for cancer diagnosis and therapy, this pathology remains the biggest health threat in the world. Global statistics concerning deaths associated with cancer are alarming; therefore, it is necessary to intensify interdisciplinary research in order to identify efficient strategies for cancer diagnosis and therapy, by using new molecules with optimal therapeutic potential and minimal adverse effects. This review focuses on studies of porphyrin macrocycles with regard to their structural and spectral profiles relevant to their applicability in efficient cancer diagnosis and therapy. Furthermore, we present a critical overview of the main commercial formulations, followed by short descriptions of some strategies approached in the development of third-generation photosensitizers.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is one of the most incident malignancies and a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Common tumorigenic drivers of LC mainly include genetic alterations of EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRAF, ROS1, and MET. Small inhibitory molecules and antibodies selectively targeting these alterations or/and their downstream signaling pathways have been approved for treatment of LC. Unfortunately, following initial positive responses to these targeted therapies, a large number of patients show dismal prognosis due to the occurrence of resistance mechanisms, such as novel mutations of these genes and activation of alternative signaling pathways. Over the past decade, it has become clear that there is no possible cure for LC unless potent antitumor immune responses are induced by therapeutic intervention. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a newly emerged concept, a form of regulated cell death that is sufficient to activate adaptive immune responses against tumor cells. It transforms dying cancer cells into a therapeutic vaccine and stimulates long-lasting protective antitumor immunity. In this review, we discuss the key targetable genetic aberrations and the underlying mechanism of ICD in LC. Various agents inducing ICD are summarized and the possibility of harnessing ICD in LC immunotherapy is further explored.

Abstract
Radioiodinated porphyrin derivatives and the corresponding nonradioactive iodine introduced compounds, [125I]I-TPPOH ([125I]3), [125I]I-l-tyrosine-TPP ([125I]9), I-TPPOH (3), and I-l-tyrosine-TPP (9) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. In cytotoxicity assays, 3 and 9 exhibited significant cytotoxicity under light conditions but did not show significant cytotoxicity without light irradiation. Biodistribution experiments with [125I]3 and [125I]9 showed similar distribution patterns with high retention in tumors. In photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) experiments, 3 and 9 at a dose of 13.6 μmol kg-1 weight with 50 W single light irradiation onto the tumor area significantly inhibited tumor growth. These results indicate that the iodinated porphyrin derivatives [123/natI]3 and [123/natI]9 are promising cancer theranostic agents.

Abstract
2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (cyanuric chloride) is an excellent coupling reagent for the preparation of highly structured multifunctional molecules. Three component systems based on porphyrin, cyanuric chloride and carborane clusters were prepared by a one-pot stepwise amination of cyanuric chloride with 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin, followed by replacement of the remaining chlorine atoms with carborane S- or N-nucleophiles. Some variants of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives containing porphyrin, carborane and residues of biologically active compounds such as maleimide, glycine methyl ester as well as thioglycolic acid, mercaptoethanol and hexafluoroisopropanol were also prepared. A careful control of the reaction temperature during the substitution reactions will allow the synthesis of desired compounds in a good to high yields. The structures of synthesized compounds were determined with UV-vis, IR, 1H NMR, 11B NMR, MALDI-TOF or LC-MS spectroscopic data. The dark and photocytotoxicity as well as intracellular localization and photoinduced cell death for compounds 8, 9, 17, 18 and 24 were evaluated.

Abstract
In this study, the chromophore 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) is anchored with phenyl substituents at the imide N site, followed by thionation, yielding a series of thione products 1S-PDI-D, 2S-cis-PDI-D, 2S-trans-PDI-D, 3S-PDI-D, and 4S-PDI-D, respectively, with n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 thione. The photophysical properties are dependent on the number of anchored thiones, where the observed prominent lower-lying absorption is assigned to the S0 → S2(ππ*) transition and is red-shifted upon increasing the number of thiones; the lowest-lying excited state is ascribed to a transition-forbidden S1(nπ*) configuration. All nS-PDIs are non-emissive in solution but reveal an excellent two-photon absorption cross-section of >800 GM. Supported by the femtosecond transient absorption study, the S1(nπ*) → T1(ππ*) intersystem crossing (ISC) rate is > 1012 s-1, resulting in ∼100% triplet population. The lowest-lying T1(ππ*) energy is calculated to be in the order of 1S-PDI-D > 2S-cis-PDI-D ∼ 2S-trans-PDI-D > 3S-PDI-D > 4S-PDI-D, where the T1 energy of 1S-PDI-D (1.10 eV) is higher than that (0.97 eV) of the 1O2 1Δg state. 1S-PDI-D is further modified by either conjugation with peptide FC131 on the two terminal sides, forming 1S-FC131, or linkage with peptide FC131 and cyanine5 dye on each terminal, yielding Cy5-1S-FC131. In vitro experiments show power of 1S-FC131 and Cy5-1S-FC131 in recognizing A549 cells out of other three lung normal cells and effective photodynamic therapy. In vivo, both molecular composites demonstrate outstanding antitumor ability in A549 xenografted tumor mice, where Cy5-1S-FC131 shows superiority of simultaneous fluorescence tracking and targeted photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Melanoma spheroid-loaded 3D skin models allow for the study of crucial tumor characteristics and factors at a superior level because the neoplastic cells are integrated into essential human skin components, permitting tumor-skin model communication. Herein, we designed a melanoma-containing artificial dermis by inserting multicellular tumor spheroids from the metastatic phase of WM 1617 melanoma cells into an artificial dermis. We cultured multicellular melanoma spheroids by hanging drop method (250 cells per drop) with a size of 420 μm in diameter after incubation for 14 days. These spheroids were integrated into the dermal equivalents that had been previously preparedwith a type-I collagen matrix and healthy fibroblasts. The melanoma spheroid cells invaded and proliferated in the artificial dermis. Spheroids treated with a 1.0 μmol/L aluminum chloride phthalocyanine nanoemulsion in the absence of light showed high cell viability. In contrast, under irradiation with visible red light (660 nm) at 25 J/cm2, melanoma cells were killed and the healthy tissue was preserved, indicating that photodynamic therapy is effective in such a model. Therefore, the 3D skin melanoma model has potential to promote research in full-thickness skin model targeting optimized preclinical assays.

Abstract
The synthesis of novel polymeric materials with porphyrinoid compounds as key components of the repeating units attracts widespread interest from several scientific fields in view of their extraordinary variety of functional properties with potential applications in a wide range of highly significant technologies. The vast majority of such polymers present a closed-shell ground state, and, only recently, as the result of improved synthetic strategies, the engineering of open-shell porphyrinoid polymers with spin delocalization along the conjugation length has been achieved. Here, we present a combined strategy toward the fabrication of one-dimensional porphyrinoid-based polymers homocoupled via surface-catalyzed [3 + 3] cycloaromatization of isopropyl substituents on Au(111). Scanning tunneling microscopy and noncontact atomic force microscopy describe the thermal-activated intra- and intermolecular oxidative ring closure reactions as well as the controlled tip-induced hydrogen dissociation from the porphyrinoid units. In addition, scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements, complemented by computational investigations, reveal the open-shell character, that is, the antiferromagnetic singlet ground state (S = 0) of the formed polymers, characterized by singlet-triplet inelastic excitations observed between spins of adjacent porphyrinoid units. Our approach sheds light on the crucial relevance of the π-conjugation in the correlations between spins, while expanding the on-surface synthesis toolbox and opening avenues toward the synthesis of innovative functional nanomaterials with prospects in carbon-based spintronics.

Abstract
Providing safe and clean domestic water for people is currently one of the greatest worldwide issues. In this context, heavy metal ions and pathogenic microbes are the two major factors in water pollution. The conventional water treatment methods, however, are generally high-energy and high-resource consumptive. Herein, we report, the first of its kind, the room-temperature synthesis of α-aminophosphonate-linked COFs via three-component one-pot in situ Kabachnik-Fields reaction (KF-3CR). Due to the coexistent bioactive α-aminophosphonate and photosensitive porphyrin, the obtained APCOF-1 exhibits highly efficient solar-powered bactericidal and heavy metal ion removal abilities, which allows it to be a promising COF-based multifunctional material for water treatment in an energy- and resource-saving way. Specifically, by incorporating APCOF-1 (up to 50 wt%) with eco-friendly and low-cost chitosan, an APCOF-1 @chitosan aerogel-based helical setup is fabricated via a facile templated freeze-drying approach and it can be a continuous flow-through water purifier model to achieve scaled-up water treatment through adsorptive removal of heavy metal ions and sunlight-driven sterilization. We believe that this research not only can significantly enrich the synthetic methodology of COFs, but also will hopefully bring COFs one step closer to the practical application.

Abstract
The way in which photons travel through biological tissues and subsequently become scattered or absorbed is a key limitation for traditional optical medical imaging techniques using visible light. In contrast, near-infrared wavelengths, in particular those above 1000 nm, penetrate deeper in tissues and undergo less scattering and cause less photo-damage, which describes the so-called “second biological transparency window”. Unfortunately, current dyes and imaging probes have severely limited absorption profiles at such long wavelengths, and molecular engineering of novel NIR-II dyes can be a tedious and unpredictable process, which limits access to this optical window and impedes further developments. Two-photon (2P) absorption not only provides convenient access to this window by doubling the absorption wavelength of dyes, but also increases the possible resolution. This review aims to provide an update on the available 2P instrumentation and 2P luminescent materials available for optical imaging in the NIR-II window.

Abstract
Background:
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), in comparison to other skin cancers,
is still far less effective for melanoma, due to the strong absorbance and the role of
melanin in cytoprotection. The tumour microenvironment (TME) has a significant role in
tumour progression, and the hypoxic TME is one of the main reasons for melanoma progression
to metastasis and its resistance to PDT. Hypoxia is also a feature of solid tumours
in the head and neck region that indicates negative prognosis.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to individuate and describe systematically the main
strategies in targeting the TME, especially hypoxia, in PDT against melanoma and head
and neck cancers (HNC), and assess the current success in their application.
Methods:
PubMed was used for searching, in MEDLINE and other databases, for the
most recent publications on PDT against melanoma and HNC in combination with the
TME targeting and hypoxia.
Results:
In PDT for melanoma and HNC, it is very important to control hypoxia levels,
and amongst the different approaches, oxygen self-supply systems are often applied. Vascular
targeting is promising, but to improve it, optimal drug-light interval, and formulation
to increase the accumulation of the photosensitiser in the tumour vasculature, have to
be established. On the other side, the use of angiogenesis inhibitors, such as those interfering
with VEGF signalling, is somewhat less successful than expected and needs to be
further investigated.
Conclusion:
The combination of PDT with immunotherapy by using multifunctional nanoparticles
continues to develop and seems to be the most promising for achieving a
complete and lasting antitumour effect.

Abstract
Simple Summary Efficient photosensitizers for photodyanmic therapy (PDT) need to be soluble in physiologic media. This requirement often complicates significantly the chemical access to such compounds, resulting in lower availability and higher production costs for the best representatives. Given that their screening and selection is often initially conducted in organic media from series of hydrophobic model compounds, the possibility to use directly such hydrophobic photosensitizers in real PDT studies was highly desirable to speed up their definitive identification but also to alleviate their cost. In this respect, PMLABe polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) were presently probed as nanocarriers to water-solubilize hydophobic star-shaped porphyrin-based which turned out to be promising oxygen photosensitizers for theranostic approaches. We show here that PDT conducted using such NPs loaded with these compounds is as efficient than when functional hydrosoluble analogues of these photosensitiers are tested alone and that tracking of the photosensitizer by fluorescence imaging is even easier. Abstract Star-shaped hydrophobic porphyrins, acting as powerful fluorescent two-photon photosensitizers for oxygen in organic solvents, can easily be loaded into PMLABe polymeric nanoparticles at various concentrations. In this contribution, the performance of these porphyrin-containing nanoparticles in terms of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is compared to those of the corresponding water-soluble porphyrin analogues when irradiated in MCF-7 cancer cells. While quite promising results are obtained for performing PDT with these nanoparticles, validating this approach as a mean for using more easily accessible and less expensive photosensitizers, from a synthetic perspective, we also show that their luminescence can still be used for bioimaging purposes in spite of their confinement in the nanoparticles, validating also the use of these nano-objects for theranostic purposes.

Abstract
Supramolecules-based drug delivery has attracted significant recent research attention as it could enhance drug solubility, retention time, targeting, and stimuli responsiveness. Among the different supramolecules and assemblies, the macrocycles and the supramolecular hydrogels are the two important categories investigated to a greater extent. Here, we provide the most recent advancements in these categories. Under macrocycles, reports on drug delivery by cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, calixarenes/pillararenes, crown ethers and porphyrins are detailed. The second category discusses the supramolecular hydrogels of macrocycles/polymers and low molecular weight gelators. The updated information provided could be helpful to advance R & D in this vital area.

Abstract
Balancing between safety and efficacy of cancer chemotherapeutics is achievable by relying on internal and/or external stimuli for selective and on-demand antitumor cytotoxicity. We now introduce the difluorophosphorus(V) corrole PC-Im, a theranostic agent with a pH-sensitive N-methylimidazole moiety. Structure/activity relationships, via comparison with the permanently charged PC-ImM+ and the lipophilic PC, uncovered the exceptional features of PC-Im: nanoparticular and monomeric at neutral and low pH, respectively, 10-fold increased light-induced singlet oxygen production at acidic pH, internalization into malignant cells within minutes, and selective accumulation within lysosomes. Submillimolar PC-Im concentrations are tolerable in the dark, while illumination induces nanomolar cytotoxic effects due to a multiplicity of cellular deleterious events: endoplasmic reticulum fragmentation, lysosome fusion and exocytosis, calcium leakage, mitochondrial fission, and swelling. PC-Im emerges as an antitumor agent, whose potency is triggered by endogenous and exogenous stimuli, assuring its cytotoxicity will occur selectively upon lysosomal accumulation and solely upon light activation.

Abstract
While photochemical transformations with sunlight almost exclusively utilize the UV-vis part of the solar spectrum, the majority of the photons emitted by the sun have frequencies in the near-infrared region. Phthalocyanines show high structural similarity to the naturally occurring light-harvesting porphyrins, chlorins, and mainly bacteriochlorins and are also known for being efficient and affordable near-infrared light absorbers as well as triplet sensitizers for the production of singlet oxygen. Although having been neglected for a long time in synthetic organic chemistry due to their low solubility and high tendency toward aggregation, their unique photophysical properties and chemical robustness make phthalocyanines attractive photocatalysts for the application in near-infrared-light-driven synthesis strategies. Herein, we report a cheap, simple, and efficient photocatalytic protocol, which is easily scalable under continuous-flow conditions. Various phthalocyanines were studied as near-infrared photosensitizers in oxidative cyanations of tertiary amines to generate α-aminonitriles, a synthetically versatile compound class.

Abstract
Standard in vitro analyses determining the activity of different compounds included in the chemotherapy of colon cancer are currently insufficient. New ideas, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), may bring tangible benefits. The aim of this study was to show that the biological activity of selected free-base and manganese (III) metallated porphyrins differs in the limitation of colon cancer cell growth in vitro. White light irradiation was also hypothesized to initiate a photodynamic effect on tested porphyrins. Manganese porphyrin (>1 μM) significantly decreased the viability of the colon tumor and normal colon epithelial cells, both in light/lack of light conditions, while decreasing a free-base porphyrin after only 3 min of white light irradiation. Both porphyrins interacted with cytostatics in an antagonistic manner. The manganese porphyrin mainly induced apoptosis and necrosis in the tumor, and apoptosis in the normal cells, regardless of light exposure conditions. The free-base porphyrin conducted mainly apoptosis and autophagy. Normal and tumor cells released low levels of IL-1β and IL-10. Tumor cells released a low level of IL-6. Light conditions and porphyrins were influenced at the cytokine level. Tested manganese (III) metallated and free-base porphyrins differ in their activity against human colon cancer cells. The first showed no photodynamic, but a toxic activity, whereas the second expressed high photodynamic action. White light use may induce a photodynamic effect associated with porphyrins.

Amphiphilic Protoporphyrin IX Derivatives as New Photosensitizing Agents for the Improvement of Photodynamic Therapy. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10020423. [PMID: 35203632 PMCID: PMC8962274 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10020423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality based on the interaction between a photosensitive molecule called photosensitizer (PS) and visible light irradiation in the presence of oxygen molecule. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), an efficient and widely used PS, is hampered in clinical PDT by its poor water-solubility and tendency to self-aggregate. These features are strongly related to the PS hydrophilic–lipophilic balance. In order to improve the chemical properties of PpIX, a series of amphiphilic PpIX derivatives endowed with PEG550 headgroups and hydrogenated or fluorinated tails was synthetized. Hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB) and log p-values were computed for all of the prepared compounds. Their photochemical properties (spectroscopic characterization, photobleaching, and singlet oxygen quantum yield) were also evaluated followed by the in vitro studies of their cellular uptake, subcellular localization, and photocytotoxicity on three tumor cell lines (4T1, scc-U8, and WiDr cell lines). The results confirm the therapeutic potency of these new PpIX derivatives. Indeed, while all of the derivatives were perfectly water soluble, some of them exhibited an improved photodynamic effect compared to the parent PpIX.
