Abstract
Developing high-efficiency luminescent polysiloxanes with activatable fluorescent theranostics is highly desirable in biomedicines. In this work, we compared hyperbranched polysiloxanes (HBPSis) with diverse nonsaturation and built an intelligent chemodynamic therapy (CDT) system with activatable fluorescence imaging. Experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the increased nonsaturation offers numerous delocalized π electrons to renovate the polarization of electrostatic potential, which further drives the clusterization of carbonyl groups. Consequently, the through-space interactions are enhanced, leading to a red-shifted emission and improved quantum yield. Furthermore, an intelligent CDT system, HBPSi-Fe3+@AT, is fabricated. Both the CDT process and the fluorescence imaging can be activated in the presence of overexpressed glutathione. This work gains fresh insight into the nonsaturation-induced electrostatic potential polarization and presents an activatable CDT system for versatile fluorescence imaging-guided theranostics.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
