J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:681-692.

Abstract
The efficacy of electron-hole separation in a single sonosensitizer and the complexities of the tumor microenvironment (TME) present significant challenges to the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Designing efficient sonosensitizers to enhance electron-hole separation and alleviate TME resistance is crucial yet challenging. Herein, we introduce a novel Z-scheme heterojunctions (HJs) sonosensitizer using Fe-doped carbon dots (CDs) as auxiliary semiconductors to sensitize cubic Cu2O (Fe-CDs@Cu2O) for the first time. Fe-CDs@Cu2O demonstrated enhanced SDT effects due to improved electron-hole separation. Additionally, the introduction of Fe ions in CDs synergistically enhances Fenton-like reactions with Cu ions in Cu2O, resulting in enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects. Moreover, Fe-CDs@Cu2O exhibited rapid glutathione (GSH) depletion, effectively mitigating TME resistance. With high rates of 1O2 and OH generated by Fe-CDs@Cu2O, coupled with strong GSH depletion, single drug injection and ultrasound (US) irradiation effectively eliminate tumors. This innovative heterojunction sonosensitizer offers a promising pathway for clinical anti-tumor treatment.

Abstract
Meeting the demand for efficient photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT), a series of iridium(III) complexes decorated with silicane-modified rhodamine (Si-rhodamine) was meticulously designed and synthesized. These complexes demonstrate exceptional PDT potential owing to their strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, particularly responsive to 808 nm laser stimulation. This feature is pivotal, enabling deep-penetration laser excitation and overcoming depth-related challenges in clinical PDT applications. The molecular structures of these complexes allow for reliable tuning of singlet oxygen generation with NIR excitation, through modification of the cyclometalating ligand. Notably, one of the complexes (4) exhibits a remarkable ROS quantum yield of 0.69. In vivo results underscore the efficacy of 4, showcasing significant tumor regression at depths of up to 8.4 mm. This study introduces a promising paradigm for designing photosensitizers capable of harnessing NIR light effectively for deep PDT applications.

Abstract
In this report, we present a novel prodrug strategy that can significantly improve the efficiency and selectivity of combined therapy for bladder cancer. Our approach involved the synthesis of a conjugate based on a chlorin-e6 photosensitizer and a derivative of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor cabozantinib, linked by a β-glucuronidase-responsive linker. Upon activation by β-glucuronidase, which is overproduced in various tumors and localized in lysosomes, this conjugate released both therapeutic modules within targeted cells. This activation was accompanied by the recovery of its fluorescence and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Investigation of photodynamic and dark toxicity in vitro revealed that the novel conjugate had an excellent safety profile and was able to inhibit tumor cells proliferation at submicromolar concentrations. Additionally, combined therapy effects were also observed in 3D models of tumor growth, demonstrating synergistic suppression through the activation of both photodynamic and targeted therapy.

Abstract
Fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window has garnered massive interest owing to high maximum permissible exposure of light, reduced autofluorescence, and improved deep penetration. However, active targeted NIR-II photoacoustic/NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging of glioma under NIR-II excitation has been seldom reported, which is partly ascribable to the lack of suitable materials. In this study, a small-molecule-based αvβ3-targeted NIR-II photoacoustic/NIR-IIa fluorescent probe IR-32p was generated and subsequently evaluated in U87MG tumor-bearing mice excited with NIR-I and NIR-II light. Exceptional dual-modal imaging properties such as good tumor uptake, high targeting specificity, and high tumor contrast were achieved in an orthotopic glioma model under 1020/1064 nm excitation, exhibiting a superior imaging depth of glioma through the skull. Our study introduces an outstanding dual-modal contrast agent with NIR-II absorption and confirms the superiority of NIR-II excitation over NIR-I in in vivo NIR-II/PA imaging.

Abstract
Biliary atresia is a rare infant disease that predisposes patients to liver transplantation and death if not treated in time. However, early diagnosis is challenging because the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests of biliary atresia overlap with other cholestatic diseases. Therefore, it is very important to develop a simple, safe and reliable method for the early diagnosis of biliary atresia. Herein, a novel NIR-II fluorescence probe, HZL2, with high quantum yield, excellent biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity and rapid excretion through the liver and gallbladder was developed based on the oil/water partition coefficient and permeability. A simple fecal sample after injection of HZL2 can be used to efficiently identify the success of the mouse model of biliary atresia for the first time, allowing for an early diagnosis of the disease. This study not only developed a simple and safe method for the early diagnosis of biliary atresia with great potential in clinical translation but also provides a research tool for the development of pathogenesis and therapeutic medicines for biliary atresia.

Abstract
Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to their distribution, therapeutic action, visual tracking, and efficacy evaluation. Nowadays, the near-infrared window (NIR, 650-1700 nm) provides a more accurate imaging and treatment option. Thus, there has been ongoing research focusing on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. The design, characteristics, bioimaging, and therapy of NIR metal agents are covered in this overview of papers and reports published to date. To start with, we focus on describing the structure, design strategies, and photophysical properties of metal agents from the NIR-I (650-1000 nm) to NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, in order of molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Next, the biomedical applications brought by these superior photophysical and chemical properties for more accurate imaging and therapy are discussed. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects of each type of NIR metal agent for future biomedical research and clinical translation.

Abstract
A new ligand DFIP (2-(dibenzo[b,d]furan-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) and its two complexes iridium(III) [Ir(ppy)2(DFIP)](PF6) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, Ir1) and ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)2(DFIP)](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, Ru1) were synthesized and characterized. The anticancer effects of the two complexes on A549, BEL-7402, HepG2, SGC-7901, HCT116 and normal LO2 cells were tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Complex Ir1 shows high cytotoxic activity on A549, BEL-7402, SGC-7901 and HepG2, Ru1 exhibits moderate anticancer activity toward A549, BEL-7402 and SGC-7901 cells. The IC50 values of Ir1 and Ru1 toward A549 are 7.2 ± 0.1 and 22.6 ± 1.4 μM, respectively. The localization of complexes Ir1 and Ru1 in the mitochondrial, intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cytochrome c (cyto-c) were investigated. Apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) was used to detect the effects of Ir1 and Ru1 on the A549 using a confocal laser scanning microscope. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was detected by western blotting. Ir1 and Ru1 can increase the intracellular ROS levels and release cyto-c, reduce the MMP, leading to the apoptosis of A549 cells and blocking the A549 cells at the G0/G1 phase. Additionally, the complexes caused a decrease of the expression of polyADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), caspase 3, Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2), PI3K (phosphoinositide-3 kinase) and upregulated the expression of Bax. All these findings indicated that the complexes exert anticancer efficacy to induce cell death through immunogenic cell death, apoptosis, and autophagy.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) has become a prevalent choice owing to its appealing advantages like deep penetration depth, low autofluorescence, decent spatiotemporal resolution, and a high signal-to-background ratio. This would expedite the innovation of NIR-II imaging-guided drug delivery (IGDD) paradigms for the improvement of the prognosis of patients with tumors. This work systematically reviews the recent progress of such NIR-II IGDD-mediated cancer therapeutics and collectively brings its essence to the readers. Special care has been taken to assess their performances based on their design approach, such as enhancing their drug loading and triggering release, designing intrinsic and extrinsic fluorophores, and/ or overcoming biological barriers. Besides, the state-of-the-art NIR-II IGDD platforms for different therapies like chemo-, photodynamic, photothermal, chemodynamic, immuno-, ion channel, gas-therapies, and multiple functions such as stimulus-responsive imaging and therapy, and monitoring of drug release and therapeutic response, have been updated. In addition, for boosting theranostic outcomes and clinical translation, the innovation directions of NIR-II IGDD platforms are summarized, including renal-clearable, biodegradable, sub-cellular targeting, and/or afterglow, chemiluminescence, X-ray excitable NIR-IGDD, and even cell therapy. This review will propel new directions for safe and efficient NIR-II fluorescence-mediated anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Despite significant effort, a majority of heavy-atom-free photosensitizers have short excitation wavelengths, thereby hampering their biomedical applications. Here, we present a facile approach for developing efficient near-infrared (NIR) heavy-atom-free photosensitizers. Based on a series of thiopyrylium-based NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) dyads, we found that the star dyad HD with a sterically bulky and electron-rich moiety exhibited configuration torsion and significantly enhanced intersystem crossing (ISC) compared to the parent dyad. The electron excitation characteristics of HD changed from local excitation (LE) to charge transfer (CT)-domain, contributing to a ≈6-fold reduction in energy gap (ΔEST ), a ≈10-fold accelerated ISC process, and a ≈31.49-fold elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) quantum yield. The optimized SP@HD-PEG2K lung-targeting dots enabled real-time NIR-II lung imaging, which precisely guided rapid pulmonary coronavirus inactivation.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common heterogeneous skin disease. Currently, effective primary prevention approaches that hamper the occurrence of mild to moderate AD have not been reported. In this work, the quaternized β-chitin dextran (QCOD) hydrogel was adopted as a topical carrier system for topical and transdermal delivery of salidroside for the first time. The cumulative release value of salidroside reached ~82% after 72 h at pH 7.4, while in vitro drug release experiments proved that QCOD@Sal (QCOD@Salidroside) has a good, sustained release effect, and the effect of QCOD@Sal on atopic dermatitis mice was further investigated. QCOD@Sal could promote skin repair or AD by modulating inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 without skin irritation. The present study also evaluated NIR-II image-guided therapy (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) of AD using QCOD@Sal. The treatment process of AD was monitored in real-time, and the extent of skin lesions and immune factors were correlated with the NIR-II fluorescence signals. These attractive results provide a new perspective for designing NIR-II probes for NIR-II imaging and image-guided therapy with QCOD@Sal.

Abstract
Molecular targets serve a crucial role in drug development. Herein, we discovered a novel peptide that can specifically target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and thus named it Herceptide. In our study, Herceptide was conjugated to the near-infrared fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) to obtain a probe, ICG-Herceptide. Importantly, specific binding to HER2 was revealed by molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance analysis, and competition assays. The probe showed high binding affinity (KD = 1.03 nM) and fast binding property (kon = 0.44 min-1). In vivo near-infrared window two (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) imaging in HER2-overexpressed SKOV3 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated a high tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratio (T/N = 7.3) at 8 h postinjection. In the blocking study, ICG-Herceptide coinjected with Herceptide only showed a weak tumor signal. In other HER2 high-expression tumors, such as non-small-cell lung cancer A549 and gastric cancer MKN45, the tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratios (T/N) were 4.1 and 4.7, respectively. In contrast, HER2 low-expression tumor MDAMB231 shows no imaging contrast between the tumor and normal tissues. Furthermore, tumor resection was successfully performed under the guidance of the ICG-Herceptide-based NIR-II imaging in subcutaneous SKOV3 mice models. The biocompatibility study indicated that the probe had no observable toxicity to cells and tissues. Overall, these results demonstrate that ICG-Herceptide is a promising optical probe for the diagnosis and localization of HER2-overexpressing tumors. Moreover, Herceptide is a novel HER2-targeting peptide and can be further used for developing theranostic agents.

Abstract
Malignant brain tumors, a heterogeneous group of primary and metastatic neoplasms in the central nervous system (CNS), are notorious for their highly invasive and devastating characteristics, dismal prognosis and low survival rate. Recently, near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging modalities including fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) have displayed bright prospect in innovation of brain tumor diagnoses, due to their merits, like noninvasiveness, high spatiotemporal resolution, good sensitivity and large penetration depth. Importantly, these imaging techniques have been widely used to vividly guide diverse brain tumor therapies in a real-time manner with high accuracy and efficiency. Herein, we provide a systematic summary of the state-of-the-art NIR contrast agents (CAs) for brain tumors single-modal imaging (e.g., FLI and PAI), dual-modal imaging (e.g., FLI/PAI, FLI/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PAI/MRI) and triple-modal imaging (e.g., MRI/FLI/PAI and MRI/PAI/computed tomography (CT) imaging). In addition, we update the most recent progress on the NIR optical imaging-guided therapies, like single-modal (e.g., photothermal therapy (PTT), chemotherapy, surgery, photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy and gas therapy), dual-modal (e.g., PTT/chemotherapy, PTT/surgery, PTT/PDT, PDT/chemotherapy, PTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and PTT/gene therapy) and triple-modal (e.g., PTT/PDT/chemotherapy, PTT/PDT/surgery, PTT/PDT/gene therapy and PTT/gene/chemotherapy). Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of the CAs and nanotheranostics for future clinic translation.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) region holds great promise for in vivo bioimaging. However, it is challenging to develop a brilliant donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type NIR-II fluorophore with maximal absorption beyond 1000 nm in aqueous solution. Herein, we report a bright D-A-D type BOIMPY-based NIR-II dye (NK1143) with peak absorption/emission at 1005/1143 nm for in vivo bioimaging. Co-assembly of NK1143, SC12 (intermolecular steric hindrance modulator), and DSPE-PEG2000 effectively inhibits H-aggregation of NK1143 in aqueous solution and enhances the brightness simultaneously up to 53-fold by leveraging synergistic steric regulation strategy. Notably, this strategy allows for deep optical penetration of 8 mm and high-resolution blood vessels imaging in vivo, displaying high signal-to-background ratio of 7.8/1 under 980 nm excitation. More importantly, the BOIMPY-based nanoprobe can passively target and clearly visualize broad types of tumor xenografts, further improving intraoperative NIR-II fluorescence-guided resection of tiny metastases of less than 1 mm. This work provides an effective strategy for the development of BOIMPY-based NIR-II organic fluorophores with broad applications.

Abstract
Second near-infrared window fluorescence imaging (NIR-II FI) has attracted tremendous attention in bioimaging. Until now, most probes for NIR-II FI are nanomaterials that are metabolized via hepatobiliary metabolism. Such a metabolic pathway may take several months, causing long-term toxicity. Herein, we design and synthesize a renal-clearable PEGylated semiconducting oligomer (PSO) for the NIR-II FI of tumor. PSO is composed of a semiconducting oligomer (SO) backbone as an NIR-II fluorescence reporter and four poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains as water-soluble enhancers. PSO can emit an NIR-II fluorescence signal with the maximum emission at 1000 nm under the excitation of 808 nm light. PSO shows good biocompatibility and can be partially cleared out of body via renal clearance. PSO can be utilized for the NIR-II FI of tumor as it can effectively accumulate into tumor.

Abstract
Due to the low autofluorescence and deep-photo penetration, the second near-infrared region fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-II, 1000-2000 nm) has been widely utilized in basic scientific research and preclinical practice throughout the past decade. The most attractive candidates for clinical translation are organic NIR-II fluorophores with a small-molecule framework, owing to their low toxicity, high synthetic repeatability, and simplicity of chemical modification. In order to enhance the translation of small molecule applications in NIR-II bioimaging, NIR-II fluorescence imaging technology has evolved from its usage in cells to the diagnosis of diseases in large animals and even humans. Although several examples of NIR-II fluorescence imaging have been used in preclinical studies, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed before they can finally be used in clinical settings. In this paper, we reviewed the evolution of the chemical structures and photophysical properties of small-molecule fluorophores, with an emphasis on their biomedical applications ranging from small animals to humans. We also explored the potential of small-molecule fluorophores.

Abstract
Preventing tumor recurrence is the most important target for cancer treatment. However, the current effective and advanced technology relies on the use of near-infrared region (NIR), and the equipment of NIR-I and NIR-II fluorescence imaging technique-based fluorescent-guided surgery is expensive and complicated to operate. Here, we report a safe and effective strategy of an organic-inorganic hybrid gold nanoparticle-based novel smart probe (Au@PDA-ss-PEGm NPs) which is appropriate for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) of tumors in vivo. After intravenous injection, the probe would be transported to the tumor to penetrate the cellular membrane. Then the disulfide bond on the probe surface would be broken with the help of a high concentration of glutathione in the tumor cell. The remaining Au@PDA NPs would aggregate to form plasmonic nanoclusters and exhibit a notable plasmon coupling enhanced photothermal (PCEPT) effect. Besides, the results further proved its good biosafety and pharmacokinetic characteristics in vivo and, more important, a short time exposure under 808 nm laser after surgical removal of the tumor, which would be effective to prevent tumor recurrence and bring dawn to the high-efficiency treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Molecular imaging offers the possibility to investigate biological and biochemical processes non-invasively and to obtain information on both anatomy and dysfunctions. Based on the data obtained, a fundamental understanding of various disease processes can be derived and treatment strategies can be planned. In this context, methods that combine several modalities in one probe are increasingly being used. Due to the comparably high sensitivity and provided complementary information, the combination of nuclear and optical probes has taken on a special significance. In this review article, dual-labelled systems for bimodal nuclear and optical imaging based on both modular ligands and nanomaterials are discussed. Particular attention is paid to radiometal-labelled molecules for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) and metal complexes combined with fluorescent dyes for optical imaging. The clinical potential of such probes, especially for fluorescence-guided surgery, is assessed.

Eur J Med Chem 2022; 235:114281. [PMID: 35344903 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
To synergistically treat glioma with a combination chemotherapy, we design and prepare novel cascade-targeted liposomes (Lip-TPGS) using glucose and triphenylphosphonium (TPP) as targeting moieties, which could intelligently deliver redox-sensitive doxorubicin (DOX) prodrugs (SDOX) and chemotherapeutic sensitizer lonidamine (LND). The pH-responsive ligand Chol-TPG modified by PEGylated glucose can overcome the blood-brain barrier and reach tumor cells. Combined with the modification of mitochondria targeting ligand (Chol-TPP), Lip-TPGS are endowed with pH-responsive charge regulation function and multi-stage targeting abilities. After triggered by the excessive glutathione in tumor cells, Lip-TPGS could sufficiently release the parent drugs DOX, which would significantly reduce side effects without compromising anti-glioma efficacy. Therefore, Lip-TPGS possess these characteristics: good pharmacokinetic behavior, superior brain targeting ability, specific tumor recognition and internalization capability, and strong endo/lysosome escaping and mitochondria targeting potential. Furthermore, Lip-TPGS exhibit significant advantages on anti-glioma by inhibiting proliferation, promoting apoptosis, inducing mitochondria dysfunction, inhibiting migration and invasion, prolonging the survival time, narrowing tumor areas, limiting lung metastasis, and reducing toxicity to normal organs. In summary, Lip-TPGS, with cascade targeting abilities from tissue/cell to organelle levels and highly controlled drug release properties, would become a promising drug delivery system for glioma treatment.
