Description

Self-reporting photosensitizer and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention particularly relates to a self-reporting photosensitizer and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biomedical engineering.
Background
Cancer is the second most fatal disease threatening human life, and only 1000 tens of thousands die worldwide in 2020. Today, precision diagnosis and treatment integrated technology has gradually become one of the most attractive research fields in cancer treatment. The integrated photodiagnosis and treatment technology is an advanced noninvasive cancer diagnosis and treatment integrated technology. The technique can simultaneously show good early diagnosis and treatment effects under the excitation of light. Among them, imaging guided photodynamic therapy has attracted general attention due to its non-invasive nature, traceability and low toxicity. Photodynamic therapy has the basic components of a light source, a photosensitizer and oxygen. When the photosensitizer is excited by a certain light source, the surrounding oxygen can be converted into active oxygen species (such as singlet oxygen) which are toxic to cancer cells, so that the effect of killing the cancer cells is achieved. However, the conventional phototherapy technology cannot feed back the therapeutic effect in real time, resulting in problems of delayed treatment, excessive treatment, and the like. Advanced imaging guided photodynamic therapy uses self-reported photosensitizer systems with both strong active oxygen production capability and good luminescence properties. By utilizing the mode, not only can cancer cells be destroyed, but also the photodynamic therapy process can be monitored in situ in real time, so that phototoxicity and other side effects caused by high irradiation intensity and excessive medicine can be remarkably reduced.
Small molecule compounds are ideal choices for constructing self-reporting photosensitizers due to their well-defined composition and good stability. Self-reporting photosensitizers can be used to kill cancer cells and monitor photodynamic therapy processes in real time by conjugated linking the photosensitizers and fluorescent dyes with chemical groups that are sensitive to singlet oxygen to form conjugates. However, due to complex structure and complicated preparation process, the photosensitizer is not easy to develop into clinically usable medicines. In addition, the preparation of the small molecule self-reporting photosensitizer can also avoid the introduction of fluorescent dye and realize the capability of in-situ tracking of the apoptosis process. However, the efficacy of such photosensitizers in tracking the cell death process by observing changes in the single emitted light is disturbed by the concentration of the photosensitizers and the intensity of the excitation light.

Example 2: TPA-3PyA+ as fluorescent probe for distinguishing protein from DNA
The photosensitizer TPA-3PyA+ is structurally composed of a twisted triphenylamine unit (electron donor, D), three benzene ring units (pi-bridge) and three cyanovinyl pyridine salt units (electron acceptor, A), and has a twisted D-pi-A structure. The inclusion of a distorted D-pi-A system in the molecule imparts a distorted intramolecular charge transfer effect to the molecule. This effect enables the molecules to have flexible emission behaviour in different media, for example to produce different emission colours and intensities. In addition, the cationic pyridine group allows TPA-3PyA+ to interact with negatively charged biological macromolecules (e.g., proteins or DNA). The photosensitizer is almost non-fluorescent in aqueous solution, and near infrared light at 734nm is continuously enhanced when protein (for example, bovine serum albumin BSA) is continuously added into the system (as shown in FIG. 5). While green fluorescence at 547nm was continuously enhanced when DNA (exemplified by calf thymus DNA) was continuously added to the system (as shown in FIG. 6). Therefore, the photosensitizer can be used as a fluorescent probe for distinguishing protein and DNA.
Example 3: photosensitizer (TPA-3 PyA+) as anticancer agent
The photosensitizer TPA-3PyA+ is structurally composed of a twisted triphenylamine unit (electron donor, D), three benzene ring units (pi-bridge) and three cyanovinyl pyridine salt units (electron acceptor, A), and has a twisted D-pi-A structure. The D-pi-A structure can enable molecules to have small singlet-triplet energy gaps, and is beneficial to the generation of singlet oxygen. The photosensitizer was measured to have a high singlet oxygen quantum yield (124%) in water with reference to the photosensitizer, manglared (75% singlet oxygen quantum yield in water).
Based on this, the biocompatibility of the present photosensitizer was first examined (as shown in fig. 7 (a)) before the killing effect of the present photosensitizer on cancer cells was examined. The classical MTT test shows that when cancer cells are co-cultured with different concentrations of the photosensitizer (0 mu mol/L,10 mu mol/L,20 mu mol/L,30 mu mol/L,40 mu mol/L) for 24 hours in the dark, the cells keep high survival rate (more than 90%), which indicates that the photosensitizer has good biocompatibility. When the photosensitizer is co-cultured with cancer cells for 8 hours, and is irradiated with white light of different intensities for 30 minutes (white light wavelength range: 400-800nm; intensity: 50 mW/cm) 2 ,70mW/cm 2 ,90mW/cm 2 ) The cell viability is continuously reduced along with the increase of the concentration of the photosensitizer and the illumination intensity (as shown in (b) of fig. 7), which shows that the photosensitizer has good anticancer effect and is expected to be an effective photodynamic anticancer drug.
Example 4: photosensitizer (TPA-3 PyA+) as a drug for real-time monitoring of cell death
In confocal cell imaging, the photosensitizer enters mainly the cytoplasm of the cell and can generate two-color fluorescence (green light and near infrared light) (as shown in fig. 8). Under continuous blue laser irradiation (wavelength: 488 nm), cell morphology changes, gradually losing integrity, while near infrared light generated by the photosensitizer gradually decreases, while green fluorescence continues to increase, and localization of the photosensitizer in the cell gradually shifts from the original cytoplasm to the nucleus, and finally lights up the nucleus (as shown in fig. 9). The above shows that the photosensitizer not only can effectively kill cancer cells under illumination conditions, but also can realize real-time tracking of cell death by observing color change, intensity change and intracellular localization change of double-color fluorescence.
Example 5: photosensitizer (TPA-3 PyA+) as a drug for distinguishing living/dead cells
The photosensitizer can effectively stain living cells and generate double-color fluorescence (green light and near infrared light), and only generates green fluorescence when stained with dead cells (as shown in fig. 10), so that the photosensitizer can be used as a probe for distinguishing living/dead cells.
