The antioxidant activity of excited-state genistein (Gen) and its methylated derivatives (5-MG, 4′-MG, and 7-MG) is systematically explored using density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory (DFT/TD-DFT) calculations, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation. Except for 5-MG, the rest of the isoflavones have excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) property confirmed by potential energy curves as an ultrafast process, which further determines the molecular forms, namely enol (S<sub>0</sub>) and keto* (S<sub>1</sub>) forms. Especially important, the excited-state isoflavones significantly exhibit increased highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy value, namely, the enhanced antioxidant activity, with the ESIPT property playing a critical role. Moreover, the introduction of methoxy at 4′ and 7 sites enhances the antioxidant activity, while the phenolic hydroxyl group remains the critical moiety for the antioxidant activity to function as confirmed by atomic dipole moment corrected Hirshfeld population (ADCH). Molecular docking analysis indicates that the binding energy of the excited-state isoflavone to xanthine oxidase (XO) is extremely low, proving that it has a strong inhibitory effect on XO. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation demonstrates the stability of the docking model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of photochemistry and photobiology.

Results demonstrated that blue light, compared to red light, significantly inhibited plant height, with stronger inhibition under 100 % shading.

It is highly aggressive, and most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, losing the opportunity for surgical resection. What's worse, the palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy have limited efficacy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), based on photosensitizers, is a new treatment modality following surgery and chemoradiotherapy for tumors. Clinically, hematoporphyrin derivative preparations are commonly chosen as photosensitizers for PDT in CCA. Although these derivatives are widely used and their efficacy has been validated by numerous clinical studies, the actual long-term outcome mostly remains unsatisfactory. This is primarily due to their low efficiency in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the inherently hypoxic microenvironment of CCA, which limits their function. To address these concerns, we constructed a nanocomposite based on black phosphorus nanosheets loaded with Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles, assisted by electrolytic oxygen supply. The study aims to enhance the cytotoxicity against CCA by leveraging the efficient singlet oxygen generation of black phosphorus and the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-catalyzed hydroxyl radical production from hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, it proposes to improve the hypoxic microenvironment of CCA and increase the tumor's sensitivity to PDT by using direct current electrolysis (DCE) to generate oxygen. The primary focus of this research is to explore the regulatory mechanisms of hypoxia-PDT for CCA based on ultrathin black phosphorus nanosheets, providing new insights for optimizing clinical PDT for CCA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16772,"journal":{"name":"Journal of photochemistry and photobiology.
