Description

Water-soluble croconic acid dye and preparation method and application thereof
Field of the art
The invention belongs to the technical field of croconic acid cyanine dyes, and particularly relates to a water-soluble croconic acid cyanine dye, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in tumor photoacoustic imaging, fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy.
(II) background art
Accurate detection, diagnosis and excision of tumors depend on an accurate imaging system, and compared with traditional biological imaging technologies such as radiation imaging, ultrasonic imaging and magnetic resonance imaging, fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging have great application potential in diagnosis and guided surgical excision due to the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, low cost, non-invasiveness, better biological safety and the like. Many fluorescent materials have also been widely used in fluorescence imaging studies, but most exhibit visible and near infrared first-region (NIR-I, 750-900 nm) emissions, which are attenuated by varying degrees of absorption and scattering upon entry into biological tissue, thereby reducing imaging depth and contrast. The near infrared two region (NIR-II) has the advantages of longer emission wavelength (1000-1700 nm), stronger penetrability of biological tissues, deeper detection depth, higher spatial resolution and the like, and becomes a hot spot direction of biomedical research. At present, some existing inorganic materials such as rare earth down-conversion nano particles, carbon nano tubes, quantum dots and the like can realize near infrared two-region emission, but most of emission wavelengths of the inorganic materials are positioned in a near infrared one region, and the defects of poor biological safety performance of heavy metals, slow metabolism after entering a living body and the like limit the application of the inorganic materials. Compared with inorganic materials, the organic croconic acid fluorescent dye has smaller relative molecular weight, is easy to metabolize, has better biocompatibility and stability, is easier to modify, and can realize the emission of the near infrared second window region.
The photoacoustic imaging technology is used as an emerging nondestructive and noninvasive composite imaging technology, has the characteristics of high sensitivity of optical imaging and high penetrability and resolution of acoustic imaging, and has wide application prospects in biomedical clinical diagnosis, especially in the aspects of in-vivo tissue structure and functional imaging. In order to overcome the scattering effect of light, improve the photoacoustic signal-to-noise ratio and enhance the imaging quality of the photoacoustic imaging technique, the use of an exogenous photoacoustic contrast agent is another effective method in addition to selecting an appropriate wavelength region as a working region. By using the exogenous near infrared contrast agent, the penetration depth of the photoacoustic imaging can be increased, the maximum allowable irradiation energy can be increased, the background signal can be reduced, the optical and acoustic properties of local tissues can be changed, and the contrast and resolution of the imaging can be increased, so that the imaging effect of the photoacoustic imaging can be obviously enhanced.
Photodynamic therapy is a new technology for diagnosing and treating diseases by utilizing photodynamic effect, and the process is that under the irradiation of laser with specific wavelength, photosensitizer distributed in tissue is excited, and the excited photosensitizer transfers energy to surrounding oxygen to generate singlet oxygen with strong activity, and the singlet oxygen and adjacent biological macromolecules undergo oxidation reaction to produce cytotoxicity, so that the cells are damaged or even die.
Therefore, the invention tries to develop the water-soluble croconic cyanine dye with absorption in the near infrared region, can realize the combination of photodynamic therapy, tumor microenvironment pH response type fluorescence imaging technology and photoacoustic imaging technology, can realize the complementary advantages among the imaging technologies, enhances fluorescence and photoacoustic response values in the acidic environment of tumor parts, provides more abundant biological information for disease diagnosis, simultaneously realizes the purpose of diagnosis and treatment, avoids risks and burdens caused by injecting different contrast agents for multiple times, and has wide application prospect.

4. Photodynamic forces of different dyes
Reference [1]Spence G T,Hartland G V,Smith B D.Activated photothermal heating using croconaine dyes[J ] Chemical Science 2013,4 (11): 4240 croconic acid dye 1 was prepared.
To 2mL of a 5. Mu.M methanolic solution of croconic acid dye 1 was added 20. Mu.L of a 3-Diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) chloroform solution (10 mM) to constitute a 2.02mL reaction system, and the working concentration of DPBF in the reaction system was 0.1mM. The irradiation was continued for 180s with a xenon lamp (power 150W,620nm filter) at a distance of 15 cm. Samples were taken at 0, 1,2, and 3min, and scanned by an ultraviolet spectrophotometer at 300-950nm, and the results are shown in FIG. 12.
Under the same conditions, croconic acid dye 1 was replaced with commercially available dye ICG, and the results are shown in fig. 13.
Fig. 12, 13 show that ICG group gradually decreased in absorbance at 400nm with prolonged illumination time, indicating ROS production, whereas croconic acid dye 1 group did not change in absorbance at 400nm with prolonged illumination time, indicating no ROS production. From this result, it was found that SR780 has a much higher photodynamic effect (fig. 10 and 11) than the croconic acid dye 1 in the literature, that SR780 generates more ROS after being irradiated with light (fig. 10 and 11), and that the effect is superior to ICG.

EXAMPLE 6 anti-HepG-2 tumor cell proliferation Activity of croconic dye SR780
1. This example demonstrates the photodynamic therapeutic effect of croconic dye on tumor cells.
(1) The croconic acid cyanine dye SR780 prepared in the method of example 2 was dissolved in PBS to prepare a 1mM stock solution, and diluted with PBS and administered with a concentration gradient (10 μm, 20 μm, 40 μm, 60 μm, 80 μm) respectively.
(2) The metabolic activity of SR780 on liver cancer cells HepG-2 was evaluated by MTT (3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazole-2) -2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method, and the specific steps are as follows:
inoculating liver cancer cell HepG-2 into DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, placing into incubator (37deg.C, 5% CO) 2 ) After incubation for 3 passages, cells in logarithmic phase were inoculated in 96-well plates at a density of 8×10 3 Cells/wells were incubated overnight at 37 ℃ to allow the cells to adhere well. Old medium was aspirated and experimental and control groups were set, the experimental groups being light (sr780+l) and non-light (SR 780), each group being set with 4 replicates (calculation error).100. Mu.L of serum-free DMEM medium containing SR780 at various concentrations (10. Mu.M, 20. Mu.M, 40. Mu.M, 60. Mu.M, 80. Mu.M) was added to each of the light (SR 780+L) and non-light (SR 780), and 100. Mu.L of serum-free DMEM medium was added to the blank. Continuing with 37℃and 5% CO 2 After 4h of incubation, the light group was given 0.5W/cm 2 For 2min, the non-illuminated group and the blank group were dark treated. After the incubation is continued for 24 hours after the irradiation, the absorbance of each group at 490nm is detected by an enzyme-labeled instrument (Thermo ScientificTMMultiskanTMFC), and the influence of the drug on the survival rate of tumor cells is calculated by the ratio of the absorbance of the experimental group to that of the blank control group. The results are shown in FIG. 14. From the results, it can be seen that the croconic cyanine dyes show dose-dependent photo cytotoxicity, and the cell viability decreases with increasing dye concentration under light conditions, indicating that they have high cell killing efficiency under these conditions. At the same time, these dyes were found to have high cell viability in the dark, indicating that they are non-toxic in the absence of light.
2. Photodynamic therapy effect of commercial dye ICG on tumor cells
(1) Commercial dye ICG was dissolved in DMSO to prepare 100mM stock solutions, which were diluted with PBS and administered with a concentration gradient of (0. Mu.M, 50. Mu.M, 100. Mu.M, 150. Mu.M, 200. Mu.M, 250. Mu.M) respectively.
(2) Inoculating liver cancer cell HepG-2 into DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, placing into incubator (37deg.C, 5% CO) 2 ) After incubation for 3 passages, cells in logarithmic phase were inoculated in 96-well plates at a density of 8×10 3 Cells/wells were incubated overnight at 37 ℃ to allow the cells to adhere well. Old medium was aspirated and experimental and control groups were set, the experimental groups being light and non-light groups, each group being set with 4 replicates (calculation errors). 100. Mu.L of DMEM medium containing different concentrations (0. Mu.M, 50. Mu.M, 100. Mu.M, 150. Mu.M, 200. Mu.M, 250. Mu.M) of ICG was added to each of the light group (ICG+L) and the non-light group (ICG), and 100. Mu.L of DMEM medium was added to the blank group. Continuing with 37℃and 5% CO 2 After 4h of incubation, the light group was given 0.2W/cm 2 Is irradiated for 2min with 810nm laser, and dark treatment is performed on the non-light group and the blank control group. Subsequent to irradiationAfter incubation for 24 hours, the absorbance of each group at 490nm is detected by an ELISA detector, and the influence of the drug on the cell survival rate is calculated by the ratio of the absorbance of the experimental group to that of the blank control group. The results are shown in FIG. 15. From the results, it can be seen that the cell viability of ICG decreases with increasing dye concentration under light conditions (ICG killer cell action includes both aspects, i.e. photodynamic and photothermal), but the concentration of ICG required is much higher than SR780 when compared to SR780 which only produces photodynamic effects, indicating that the photodynamic effects of SR780 alone are better than the combined effects of ICG photodynamic and photothermal.
The results show the application prospect of the croconic acid cyanine dye in photodynamic therapy.
