Zhang YQ, Yang CC, Ma JY, Tian WQ. The enhancement of nonlinear optical properties of azulene-based nanographene by N atoms: a finishing touch. Chem Sci 2024; 15:2100-2111.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials play an increasingly important role in optoelectronic devices, biomedicine, micro-nano processing, and other fields. The development of organic materials with strong second or (and) third NLO properties and a high stability is still challenging due to the unknown strategies for obtaining enhanced high order NLO properties. In the present work, π-conjugated systems are constructed by doping boron or (and) nitrogen atoms in the azulene moiety of azulene-based nanographenes (formed with an azulene chain with two bridging HCCHs at the two sides of the connecting CC bonds between azulenes, A1A2A3), and the NLO properties are predicted with time-dependent density functional theory based methods and a sum-over-states model. The doping of heteroatoms induces charge redistribution, tunes the frontier molecular orbital energy gap, changes the composition of some frontier molecular orbitals, and affects the NLO properties of those nanographenes. Among the designed nanographenes, the azulene-based nanographene with two nitrogen atoms at the two ends has the largest static first hyperpolarizability (91.30 × 10-30 esu per heavy atom), and the further introduction of two N atoms at the two ends of the central azulene moiety of this nanographene results in a large static second hyperpolarizability while keeping the large static first hyperpolarizability.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds are highly valuable in the fields of food and medicine, but their application is limited due to easy deterioration after oral or skin administration. In recent years, the use of peptides as delivery systems for bioactive compounds has been intensively researched because of their special physicochemical characteristics. Peptides can be assembled using various preparation methods and can form several composite materials such as hydrogels, micelles, emulsions and particles. The composite material properties are determined by peptides, bioactive compounds and the construction methods employed. Herein, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the peptides used for active ingredients delivery, fabrication methods for creating delivery systems, structures, targeting characteristics, functional activities and mechanism of delivery systems, as well as their absorption and metabolism, which provided theoretical basis and reference for further research and development of functional composites.

Abstract
A novel tri-pyrene polyamine (TAL3PYR) bearing net five positive charges at biorelevant conditions revealed strong intramolecular interactions in aqueous medium between pyrenes, characterised by pronounced excimer fluorescence. A novel compound revealed strong binding to ds-DNA and ds-RNA, along with pronounced thermal stabilisation of DNA/RNA and extensive changes in DNA/RNA structure, as evidenced by circular dichroism. New dye caused pronounced ds-DNA or ds-RNA condensation, which was attributed to a combination of electrostatic interactions between 5+ charge of dye and negatively charged polynucleotide backbone, accompanied by aromatic and hydrophobic interactions of pyrenes within polynucleotide grooves. New dye also showed intriguing antiproliferative activity, strongly enhanced upon photo-induced activation of pyrenes, and is thus a promising lead compound for theranostic applications on ds-RNA or ds-DNA targets, applicable as a new strategy in cancer and gene therapy.

Abstract
Two novel pyrene triphenylphosphine ruthenium conjugates act as fluorescent turn-on beacons for serum albumin, being non-fluorescent in aqueous media but exhibiting strong emission upon binding to BSA. The selective cytotoxicity of the compounds against tumour cells is enhanced upon irradiation by UV-light, paving the way for application in photodynamic therapy under two-photon excitation.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs/AuNRs) are a group of gold nanoparticles which their simple surface chemistry allows for various surface modifications, providing the possibility of using them in the fabrication of biocompatible and functional nano-agents for cancer therapy. AuNRs, moreover, exhibit a maximum absorption of longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the near-infrared (NIR) region which overlaps with NIR bio-tissue 'window' suggesting that they are proper tools for thermal ablation of cancer cells. AuNRs can be used for induction of mono or combination therapies by administering various therapeutic approaches such as photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy (RT), and gene therapy (GT). In this review, anticancer therapeutic capacities of AuNRs along with different surface modifications are summarized comprehensively. The roles of AuNRs in fabrication of various nano-constructs are also discussed.

Multifunctional Photoactive Nanomaterials for Photodynamic Therapy against Tumor: Recent Advancements and Perspectives. Pharmaceutics 2022; 15:pharmaceutics15010109.

Abstract
Numerous treatments are available for cancer, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, biomarker testing, surgery, photodynamic therapy, etc. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective, non-invasive, novel, and clinically approved strategy to treat cancer. In PDT, three main agents are utilized, i.e., photosensitizer (PS) drug, oxygen, and light. At first, the photosensitizer is injected into blood circulation or applied topically, where it quickly becomes absorbed or accumulated at the tumor site passively or actively. Afterward, the tumor is irradiated with light which leads to the activation of the photosensitizing molecule. PS produces the reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in the death of the tumor cell. However, the effectiveness of PDT for tumor destruction is mainly dependent on the cellular uptake and water solubility of photosensitizer molecules. Therefore, the delivery of photosensitizer molecules to the tumor cell is essential in PDT against cancer. The non-specific distribution of photosensitizer results in unwanted side effects and unsuccessful therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, to improve PDT clinical outcomes, the current research is mostly focused on developing actively targeted photosensitizer molecules, which provide a high cellular uptake and high absorption capacity to the tumor site by overcoming the problem associated with conventional PDT. Therefore, this review aims to provide current knowledge on various types of actively and passively targeted organic and inorganic nanocarriers for different cancers.

Para-N-Methylpyridinium Pyrenes: Impact of Positive Charge on ds-DNA/RNA and Protein Recognition, Photo-Induced Bioactivity, and Intracellular Localisation. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112499. [PMID: 36432689 PMCID: PMC9696974 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The 2- and 2,7- substituted para-N-methylpyridinium pyrene cations show high-affinity intercalation into ds-DNAs, whereas their non-methylated analogues interacted with ds-DNA/RNA only in the protonated form (at pH 5), but not at physiological conditions (pH 7). The fluorescence from non-methylated analogues was strongly dependent on the protonation of the pyridines; consequently, they act as fluorescence ratiometric probes for simultaneous detection of both ds-DNA and BSA at pH 5, relying on the ratio between intensities at 420 nm (BSA specific) and 520 nm (DNA specific), whereby exclusively ds-DNA sensing could be switched-off by adjustment to pH 7. Only methylated, permanently charged pyrenes show photoinduced cleavage of circular DNA, attributed to pyrene-mediated irradiation-induced production of singlet oxygen. Consequently, the moderate toxicity of these cations against human cell lines is strongly increased upon irradiation. Detailed studies revealed increased total ROS production in cells treated by the compounds studied, accompanied by cell swelling and augmentation of cellular complexity. The most photo-active 2-para-N-methylpyridinium pyrene showed significant localization at mitochondria, its photo-bioactivity likely due to mitochondrial DNA damage. Other derivatives were mostly non-selectively distributed between various cytoplasmic organelles, thus being less photoactive.

Abstract
Rose Bengal (RB) is a photosensitizer (PS) used in anti-cancer and anti-bacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT). The specific excitation of this PS allows the production of singlet oxygen and oxygen reactive species that kill bacteria and tumor cells. In this review, we summarize the history of the use of RB as a PS coupled by chemical or physical means to nanoparticles (NPs). The studies are divided into PDT and PDT excited by X-rays (X-PDT), and subdivided on the basis of NP type. On the basis of the papers examined, it can be noted that RB used as a PS shows remarkable cytotoxicity under the effect of light, and RB loaded onto NPs is an excellent candidate for nanomedical applications in PDT and X-PDT.

Abstract
Persistent fungal infections caused by biofilms seriously endanger human health. In this study, a photosensitizer-polypeptide conjugate (PPa-cP) comprising a photosensitizer, pyropheophorbide a (PPa), and a cationic polypeptide (cP) is readily synthesized for effective antifungal and antibiofilm treatment. Compared with free PPa, the cationic PPa-cP shows enhanced binding ability to the negatively charged surface of Candida albicans (C. albicans) through electrostatic interactions. As a result, PPa-cP exhibits effective antifungal efficiency against both C. albicans and fluconazole-resistant C. albicans in vitro under light irradiation. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PPa-cP for both C. albicans and fluconazole-resistant C. albicans is 1 µm. In addition, PPa-cP also shows improved penetration in a C. albicans biofilm, thus effectively eliminating the C. albicans biofilm by photodynamic effects. More importantly, PPa-cP demonstrats significantly enhanced therapeutic effects in a fluconazole-resistant C. albicans-infected rat model with minimal side effects. In conclusion, the current work presents an effective strategy to combat biofilm infections associated with biomedical equipment.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, is an emerging form of non-invasive treatment. The combination of imaging technology and phototherapy is becoming an attractive development in the treatment of cancer, as it allows for highly effective therapeutic results through image-guided phototherapy. Porphyrins have attracted significant interest in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer due to their excellent phototherapeutic effects in phototherapy and their remarkable imaging capabilities in fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic imaging. However, porphyrins suffer from poor water solubility, low near-infrared absorption and insufficient tumor accumulation. The development of nanotechnology provides an effective way to improve the bioavailability, phototherapeutic effect and imaging capability of porphyrins. This review highlights the research results of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy and image-guided phototherapy in the last decade and discusses the challenges and directions for the development of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy.

Towards the development of the AIE-active materials, many aromatic moieties composed of tetraphenylethylene, anthracene, pyrene, etc., have been developed. Among these aromatic moieties, pyrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a polycyclic flat structure containing four fused benzene rings to provide an unusual electron delocalization feature that is important in the AIE property. Numerous pyrene-based AIE-active materials have been reported with the AIE property towards sensing, imaging and theranostics applications. Most importantly, these AIE-active pyrene moieties exist as small molecules, Schiff bases, polymers, supramolecules, metal-organic frameworks, etc. This comprehensive review outlines utilizations of AIE-active pyrene-based materials on the imaging and theranostics studies. Moreover, the design and synthesis of these pyrene-based molecules are delivered with discussions on their future scopes.

Krošl I, Košćak M, Ribičić K, Žinić B, Majhen D, Božinović K, Piantanida I. Impact of the Histidine-Triazole and Tryptophan-Pyrene Exchange in the WHW Peptide: Cu(II) Binding, DNA/RNA Interactions and Bioactivity. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137006. [PMID: 35806009 PMCID: PMC9266797 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
In three novel peptidoids based on the tryptophan—histidine—tryptophan (WHW) peptide, the central histidine was replaced by Ala-(triazole), and two derivatives also had one tryptophan replaced with pyrene-alkyls of different lengths and flexibility. Pyrene analogues show strong fluorescence at 480–500 nm, attributed to intramolecular exciplex formation with tryptophan. All three peptidoids bind Cu2+ cation in water with strong affinity, with Trp- Ala-(triazole)-Trp binding comparably to the parent WHW, and the pyrene analogues even stronger, demonstrating that replacement of histidine with triazole in peptides does not hamper Cu2+ coordination. The studied peptidoids strongly bind to ds-DNA and ds-RNA, whereby their complexes with Cu2+ exhibit distinctively different interactions in comparison to metal-free analogues, particularly in the stabilization of ds-DNA against thermal denaturation. The pyrene peptidoids efficiently enter living cells with no apparent cytotoxic effect, whereby their red-shifted emission compared to the parent pyrene allows intracellular confocal microscopy imaging, showing accumulation in cytoplasmic organelles. However, irradiation with 350 nm light resulted in evident antiproliferative effect on cells treated with micromolar concentrations of the pyrene analogues, presumably attributed to pyrene-induced production of singlet oxygen and consecutive cellular damage.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
Inspired by the dynamic morphology control of molecular assemblies in biological systems, we have developed pH-responsive transformable peptide-based nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy (PDT) with prolonged tumor retention times. The self-assembled peptide-porphyrin nanoparticles transformed into nanofibers when exposed to the acidic tumor microenvironment, which was mainly driven by enhanced intermolecular hydrogen bond formation between the protonated molecules. The nanoparticle transformation into fibrils improved their singlet oxygen generation ability and enabled high accumulation and long-term retention at tumor sites. Strong fluorescent signals of these nanomaterials were detected in tumor tissue up to 7 days after administration. Moreover, the peptide assemblies exhibited excellent anti-tumor efficacy via PDT in vivo. This in situ fibrillar transformation strategy could be utilized to design effective stimuli-responsive biomaterials for long-term imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is emerging as a significant complementary or alternative approach for cancer treatment. PDT drugs act as photosensitisers, which upon using appropriate wavelength light and in the presence of molecular oxygen, can lead to cell death. Herein, we reviewed the general characteristics of the different generation of photosensitisers. We also outlined the emergence of rhenium (Re) and more specifically, Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes as a new generation of metal-based photosensitisers for photodynamic therapy that are of great interest in multidisciplinary research. The photophysical properties and structures of Re(I) complexes discussed in this review are summarised to determine basic features and similarities among the structures that are important for their phototoxic activity and future investigations. We further examined the in vitro and in vivo efficacies of the Re(I) complexes that have been synthesised for anticancer purposes. We also discussed Re(I) complexes in conjunction with the advancement of two-photon PDT, drug combination study, nanomedicine, and photothermal therapy to overcome the limitation of such complexes, which generally absorb short wavelengths.

Abstract
Bioinspired nanostructures can be the ideal functional smart materials to bridge the fundamental biology, biomedicine and nanobiotechnology fields. Among them, short peptides are among the most preferred building blocks as they can self-assemble to form versatile supramolecular architectures displaying unique physical and chemical properties, including intriguing optical features. Herein, we discuss the progress made over the past few decades in the design and characterization of optical short peptide nanomaterials, focusing on their intrinsic photoluminescent and waveguiding performances, along with the diverse modulation strategies. We review the complicated optical properties and the advanced applications of photoactive short peptide self-assemblies, including photocatalysis, as well as photothermal and photodynamic therapy. The diverse advantages of photoactive short peptide self-assemblies, such as eco-friendliness, morphological and functional flexibility, and ease of preparation and modification, endow them with the capability to potentially serve as next-generation, bio-organic optical materials, allowing the bridging of the optics world and the nanobiotechnology field.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a most commonly used method to prepare various microcapsules based on the electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, and so on. Among these interactions, Schiff base bond formed in covalent assembly not only has an advantage in stability, but also enables the assembled microcapsules with autofluorescence and pH sensitivity. In this Article, we will mainly describe the construction of biomimetic microcapsules through Schiff base mediated LbL assembly. The structures and properties of the assembled microcapsules are introduced and their applications as drug carriers are highlighted.

Abstract
The use of smart drug carriers to realize cancer-targeted drug delivery is a promising method to improve the efficiency of chemotherapy and reduce its side effects. A surfactant-like peptide, Nap-FFGPLGLARKRK, was elaborately designed for cancer-targeted drug delivery based on an enzyme-triggered morphological transition of the self-assembled nanostructures. The peptide has three functional motifs: the aromatic motif of Nap-FF- to promote peptide self-assembly, the enzyme-cleavable segment of -GPLGLA- to introduce enzyme sensitivity, and the positively charged -RKRK- segment to balance the molecular amphiphilicity as well as to facilitate interaction with cell membranes. The peptide self-assembles into long fibrils with hydrophobic inner cores, which can encapsulate a high amount of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). By having enzyme responsibility, these fibrils can be degraded into thinner ones by the cancer-overexpressed matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) at tumor sites and precipitate out to give sustained release of DOX, resulting in cancer-targeted drug delivery and selective cancer killing. In vivo antitumor experiments with mice confirm the high efficiency of such enzyme-responsive peptidic drug carriers in successfully suppressing the tumor growth and metastasis while greatly reducing the side effects. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using enzyme-sensitive peptide nanostructures for efficient and targeted drug delivery, which have great potential in biomedical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Peptide-based nanoparticles were employed to load and disperse hydrophobic porphyrins in a one-step co-assembly method in aqueous media. The isolated porphyrins doped within nanoparticles showed enhanced two-photon absorption ability and could effectively generate 1O2 to induce the apoptosis of cancer cells, which holds great prospects in two-photon PDT.

Abstract
The cancer incidence world-wide has caused an increase in the demand for effective forms of treatment. One unconventional form of treatment for cancer is photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT has 3 fundamental factors, namely a photosensitiser (PS) drug, light and oxygen. When a PS drug is administered to a patient, it can either passively or actively accumulate within a tumour site and once exposed to a specific wavelength of light, it is excited to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in tumour destruction. However, the efficacy of ROS generation for tumour damage is highly dependent on the uptake of the PS in tumour cells. Thus, PS selective/targeted uptake and delivery in tumour cells is a crucial factor in PDT cancer drug absorption studies. Generally, within non-targeted drug delivery mechanisms, only minor amounts of PS are able to passively accumulate in tumour sites (due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect) and the remainder distributes into healthy tissues, causing unwanted side effects and poor treatment prognosis. Thus, to improve the efficacy of PDT cancer treatment, research is currently focused on the development of specific receptor-based PS-nanocarrier platform drugs, which promote the active uptake and absorption of PS drugs in tumour sites only, avoiding unwanted side effects, as well as treatment enhancement. Therefore, the aim of this review paper is to focus on current actively targeted or passively delivered PS nanoparticle drug delivery systems, that have been previously investigated for the PDT treatment of cancer and so to deduce their overall efficacy and recent advancements.

Abstract
In this review, we highlight the design of nanomaterials for two-photon excitation, in order to treat tumors with a high accuracy. Indeed two-photon excitation allows remote control of the nanoparticles with a spatio-temporal resolution. The nanomaterials are based on mesoporous silica-organosilica nanoparticles including core-shell systems. The therapeutic treatments include drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, gene silencing, and their combinations. At first, the nanosystems designed for two-photon-triggered cytotoxic drug delivery are reviewed. Then the nanomaterials prepared for two-photon photodynamic therapy and reactive oxygen species delivery are discussed. Finally, the nanosystems combining drug delivery or gene silencing with two-photon photodynamic therapy are presented. Due to the rapid progresses concerning two-photon-excited nanomaterials and the interest of near-infrared light to treat deep tumors, we believe this technology could be of high interest for the personalized medicine of the future.

Abstract
Self-reproduction is one of the most important characteristics of lipid vesicles for origin of life research. Most vesicle self-reproduction systems are based on fatty acid vesicles and spontaneous phospholipid vesicle production is difficult owing to the relatively high stability of these vesicles. Now, spontaneous phospholipid vesicle generation and extension in a dipeptide/phospholipid system is demonstrated. Dissolution of the dipeptide crystal provides both the driving force and phospholipid constituents for vesicle generation and extension. This study provides a new system to enhance the understanding of vesicle self-reproduction mechanisms.

Abstract
Coherent two-photon-excited (TPE) therapy in the near-infrared (NIR) provides safer cancer treatments than current therapies lacking spatial and temporal selectivities because it is characterized by a 3D spatial resolution of 1 µm3 and very low scattering. In this review, the principle of TPE and its significance in combination with organosilica nanoparticles (NPs) are introduced and then studies involving the design of pioneering TPE-NIR organosilica nanomaterials are discussed for bioimaging, drug delivery, and photodynamic therapy. Organosilica nanoparticles and their rich and well-established chemistry, tunable composition, porosity, size, and morphology provide ideal platforms for minimal side-effect therapies via TPE-NIR. Mesoporous silica and organosilica nanoparticles endowed with high surface areas can be functionalized to carry hydrophobic and biologically unstable two-photon absorbers for drug delivery and diagnosis. Currently, most light-actuated clinical therapeutic applications with NPs involve photodynamic therapy by singlet oxygen generation, but low photosensitizing efficiencies, tumor resistance, and lack of spatial resolution limit their applicability. On the contrary, higher photosensitizing yields, versatile therapies, and a unique spatial resolution are available with engineered two-photon-sensitive organosilica particles that selectively impact tumors while healthy tissues remain untouched. Patients suffering pathologies such as retinoblastoma, breast, and skin cancers will greatly benefit from TPE-NIR ultrasensitive diagnosis and therapy.

Peptide nanoparticles (PNPs) modified disposable platform for sensitive electrochemical cytosensing of DLD-1 cancer cells. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 104:50-57.

Abstract
A novel diphenylalaninamid (FFA) based peptide nanoparticles (PNPs) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) for construction of electrochemical cytosensor was demonstrated for the first time in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed the spherical nanostructure of the synthesized FFA based PNPs while attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra provided information about the structure and conformation of proteins in their structure. Self-assembly of PNPs on PGE surface and adhesion of DLD-1 cancer cells on this surface was also characterized by electrochemical measurements. PNP/PGEs acted as a sensitive platform for simple and rapid quantification of low concentration of DLD-1 cancer cells in early diagnosis using the electrochemical impedance method (EIS). The offered cytosensor demonstrated outstanding performance for the detection of DLD-1 cells by the EIS method. The impedance of electronic transduction was associated with the amount of the immobilized cells ranging from 2 × 102 to 2.0 × 105 cellsmL-1 with a limit of detection of 100 cellsmL-1. The efficient performance of the cytosensor was attributed to the well-defined nanostructure and biocompability of PNPs on the substrate.
