The present invention generally relates to various photoreactions, including reactions generally based on triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion. One aspect of the present invention is directed to systems and methods for absorbing energy (e.g., from a photon) in a photosensitizer, transferring that energy by triplet-triplet energy transfer to an annihilator to produce a higher energy state via upconversion, then transferring that energy to cleave a cleavable or other active moiety, for instance, in order to cause the release of a releasable moiety. The energy may be transferred to the moiety via Forster resonance energy transfer. In some cases, these may be contained within a suitable carrier material, for example, a particle or a micelle. Such systems and methods may be used in a variety of applications, including various biological or physical applications. For example, such systems and methods may be useful for delivering drugs or other releasable moieties to regions of the body which may be affected by too much light, such as the eye. Other aspects of the present invention are generally directed to methods for making or using such systems, kits including such systems, or the like.
本发明通常涉及各种光反应,包括基于三重态-三重态湮灭上转换的反应。本发明的一个方面涉及吸收能量(例如来自光子)的系统和方法,将该能量通过三重态-三重态能量转移转移到湮灭体,通过上转换产生更高的能量状态,然后将该能量转移以裂解可裂解或其他活性基团,例如为了释放可释放基团。能量可以通过Forster共振能量转移传递到基团。在某些情况下,这些可以包含在适当的载体材料中,例如颗粒或微胶囊中。这些系统和方法可以用于各种应用,包括各种生物学或物理学应用。例如,这些系统和方法可以用于将药物或其他可释放基团传递到身体的受光过度影响的区域,例如眼睛。本发明的其他方面通常涉及制备或使用这些系统的方法,包括包括这些系统的试剂盒等。
