Description

Single-photon up-conversion pentamethine cyanine photosensitive dye, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fine chemical engineering, in particular to a single-photon upconversion pentamethine cyanine photosensitive dye, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a method of applying principles of photochemistry, photophysics and photobiology to diagnosis and treatment of diseases, is a fourth Therapy following surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and has great application potential in treating malignant diseases such as cancer and various benign diseases.
The three elements of photodynamic therapy are: a light source, a photosensitizer, and oxygen. Wherein the wavelength of the light emitted by the light source largely determines the treatment depth of the solid tumor through photodynamic therapy. Therefore, the development of photosensitizing dyes that can be excited by long wavelength light has been a focus of research. Although increasing the conjugation degree of organic molecules by chemical modification to extend the excitation wavelength of photosensitive molecules is the most direct and effective method, the design and development of near-infrared photosensitizers by researchers are always plagued by complex, cumbersome synthetic means, reduced chemical and photostability, and reduced solubility and biosafety.
Photon up-conversion mediated photosensitizer activation is a type of technological approach that does not sacrifice the photophysical, chemical properties, solubility and biocompatibility of the target photosensitizer. The low-energy long-wavelength exciting light is used for exciting the photosensitizer through intermolecular and intramolecular energy conversion, and the photosensitizer emits high-energy short-wavelength fluorescence and generates active oxygen to destroy cancer cells. The current technology for realizing photon up-conversion activation photosensitizer mainly relies on rare earth up-conversion nano particles and two-photon excitation materials. However, the activation process by multi-photon excitation is limited, the activation of the photosensitizer by the above two means requires the use of a high-power laser, especially a two-photon excitation material, and the laser used is a high-energy femtosecond laser, which is not favorable for clinical application. The phenomenon of up-conversion of the absorption frequency of the tropical zone is present in organic fluorophore molecules, which are generally characterized by a large molar extinction coefficient, a bright fluorescence emission and a small stokes shift. Electrons in the fluorophores are distributed at a ground state high vibration energy level and a rotation energy level, and the electrons at the high vibration energy level are excited by selecting light with a specific long wavelength, so that a large anti-Stokes displacement is formed, and the interference of the excitation light on fluorescence emission capture in conventional fluorescence imaging is favorably reduced. More importantly, the process of inducing such up-conversion to occur is a single photon excitation process. This greatly reduces the light dose of the excitation light, reducing the damage of the excitation light itself to the tissue and cells.
The currently reported fluorescent indicators with single-photon up-conversion properties include hemicyanine dyes, BODIPY dyes, heptamethine cyanine dyes, rhodamine dyes and phenoxazine dyes. To enhance its photosensitizing active oxygen generating capacity, the current mainstream strategy is to utilize the heavy atom effect. However, heavy atom modifications induce enhanced dark toxicity, reduced light and chemical stability, poor solubility and low economy are detrimental to its transformation to the clinic.
Unlike the typical photosensitizer parent structure, cyanine dyes, which naturally have a cationic structure, are a class of chemical sensors widely used in the biological field, and can simultaneously satisfy challenging requirements, including: 1. the extinction coefficient in the near infrared region is large to ensure the excitation wavelength of further up-conversion; 2. a clear subcellular localization, the photosensitizer targeting important organelles (e.g., mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum), effective in enhancing therapeutic efficacy; 3. the cation flexible structure has good solubility and biocompatibility and can be effectively enriched in a tumor area. However, the existing PDT photosensitizer has the defect of limited yield of active oxygen molecules generated by depending on heavy atoms and upconversion excitation. Therefore, the development of heavy atom-free single photon up-conversion photosensitizers based on cyanine dyes is of great interest and challenging.

As can be seen from fig. 7 (a represents tumor tissue dissected from a mouse treated with the photosensitizer molecule XAN-Cy5 for 14 days; B represents change in volume of a living tumor after XAN-Cy5 photodynamic treatment; and C represents change in body weight after XAN-Cy5 photodynamic treatment), the photodynamic treatment effect of the photosensitizer XAN-Cy5 significantly inhibited tumor growth. In the whole treatment process, the body weight of each group of mice is not changed, which shows that XAN-Cy5 has high-efficiency tumor treatment effect, no toxic or side effect and good biocompatibility.
Comparative example 1 singlet oxygen Performance testing of unmodified pentamethylcyanine dye molecules
Adding 2 μ M of reference unmodified pentamethine cyanine dye Cy5 into a test quartz dish containing 3mL of dichloromethane solution, adjusting the absorbance at 415nm to about 1 by using DPBF solution, placing the quartz dish at 760nm and 500mW/cm 2 Was irradiated under a xenon lamp light source, and the absorption spectrum of the solution was recorded every 120 seconds. The test results are shown in fig. 1. By analyzing the figure 1, the target compound XAN-Cy5 can be shown to improve the singlet oxygen generation performance of the conventional pentamethyl cyanine dye molecule under the excitation of upconversion light.
Comparative example 2 singlet oxygen Performance testing of phenyl-modified pentamethylcyanine dye molecules
Adding 2 mu M of pentamethyl cyanine dye Ph-Cy5 with reference meso position modified by phenyl into a test quartz dish containing 3mL of dichloromethane solution, adjusting the absorbance at 415nm to about 1 by using DPBF solution, placing the quartz dish at 760nm and 500mW/cm 2 Was irradiated under a xenon lamp light source, and the absorption spectrum of the solution was recorded every 120 seconds. The test results are shown in fig. 1. The analysis of FIG. 1 shows that the target compound XAN-Cy5 has relative specificity for improving the upconversion singlet oxygen generation performance of the pentamethylcyanine dye molecule.
