Fine-tuning the side-chain length of iridium(III) complexes for enhanced Photophysical properties in Cancer Theranostics
Cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes have emerged as versatile candidates for cancer theranostics, offering integrated diagnostic imaging and potent singlet oxygen (1O2) generation for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, their application has been limited by subdued photoluminescence, primarily due to intramolecular motion-induced excited energy dissipation. In this study, we address these limitations through the design and synthesis of five novel iridium(III) complexes: IrC2, IrC4, IrC6, IrC8, and IrC12. Our approach employs meticulous side-chain extending strategy to modulate side-chain length, thereby reducing intramolecular motion and significantly enhancing both one- and three-photon emissions and 1O2 production in the aggregated state. Detailed photophysical investigations, supported by crystallographic insights, reveal that side-chain elongation substantially amplifies these properties. Among the synthesized complexes, IrC8 stands out as a superior candidate for image-guided photodynamic therapy in cellular and 3D tumor spheroid models. This investigation pioneers the simultaneous enhancement of dual-photon emissions and PDT efficacy through a novel side-chain extension strategy in iridium(III) complexes, paving the way for their translational application in clinical theranostics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry is an established international forum for research in all aspects of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of a high scientific level are published in the form of Articles (full length papers), Short Communications, Focused Reviews and Bioinorganic Methods. Topics include: the chemistry, structure and function of metalloenzymes; the interaction of inorganic ions and molecules with proteins and nucleic acids; the synthesis and properties of coordination complexes of biological interest including both structural and functional model systems; the function of metal- containing systems in the regulation of gene expression; the role of metals in medicine; the application of spectroscopic methods to determine the structure of metallobiomolecules; the preparation and characterization of metal-based biomaterials; and related systems. The emphasis of the Journal is on the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules.
