Frustrated molecular stacking enables NIR perylenediimide photosensitizers with balanced energy dissipation pathways for tumor photodynamic therapy
The construction of organic photosensitizers with near infrared (NIR) emission has shown great promise for precise therapeutic applications. However, fluorescence imaging and phototherapy efficacy are dependent on competitive photophysical processes, so it is still a great challenge to engineer photosensitizer with appreciable light emission especially in the NIR light region, and highly efficient energy conversion into valuable reactive oxygen species. In this paper, we report series of simple perylene diimide (PDI)-based NIR photosensitizers by regulating the position of a phenyl moiety in the donor-acceptor-donor conjugated backbone, a packing balance between the twisted molecular structure and effective π-conjugation is actualized. Photodynamic property observation reveals that the developed fluorophores present desirable photosensitizing ability with the production of both type I and II reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light irradiation, and the eradication of tumor cells is realized based on ferroptosis mechanism. Moreover, the bright emission in NIR region allows for the sensitive detection of pulmonary metastasis in vivo. These results provide an illuminating NIR photosensitizers design strategy for image-guided tumor photodynamic therapy applications.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
