Application of sono-photochemical methods to cysteine-functionalized graphene quantum dots loaded with indium phthalocyanine for enhanced singlet oxygen generation
Existing photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents face challenges such as low singlet oxygen production, severe photobleaching, and poor biocompatibility. To overcome these issues, we propose a novel method combining newly synthesized phthalocyanine with cysteine-functionalized graphene quantum dots (cys-GQDs). This approach aims to enhance singlet oxygen production, solubility and stability in biological environments.
In this study a new indium phthalocyanine and its cys-GQDs (InPc@cys-GQDs) derivative were synthesized as a new sono-photosensitizer candidate for therapeutic applications. Their photochemical and sono-photochemical properties were evaluated, focusing on singlet oxygen generation efficiency. Additionally, the stability, photostability, cellular uptake, and biocompatibility of these agents were tested through in vitro assays. The results show that the InPc@cys-GQDs conjugate has significantly higher singlet oxygen yield, especially with sono-photodynamic method compared to only phthalocyanine agent. They also demonstrate improved cellular internalization and reduced cytotoxicity, suggesting they offer a promising advancement for clinical PDT applications.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
