Treatment of 4,5-bis[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenoxy]phthalonitrile and 4,5-bis[3,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)phenoxy]phthalonitrile with an excess of 1,3-diiminoisoindoline in the presence of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in triethylene glycol monomethyl ether or polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (with an average molecular weight of 550) led to “3 + 1” mixed cyclisation and transesterification in one pot, affording the corresponding di-β-substituted zinc(II) phthalocyanines in 7–23% yield. As shown by absorption spectroscopy, these compounds were essentially non-aggregated in N,N-dimethylformamide and could generate singlet oxygen effectively. The singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ = 0.53–0.57) were comparable with that of the unsubstituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ΦΔ = 0.56). These compounds in Cremophor EL emulsions also exhibited photocytotoxicity against HT29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma and HepG2 human hepatocarcinoma cells with IC50 values in the range of 0.25–3.72 μM. The analogue with four triethylene glycol chains was the most potent photosensitiser and localised preferentially in the mitochondria of HT29 cells. The bis(polyethylene glycol)-counterpart could form surfactant-free nanoparticles both in water and in the culture medium. The hydrodynamic radii, as determined by dynamic laser light scattering, ranged from 6.3 to 79.8 nm depending on the preparation methods and conditions. The photocytotoxicity of these nanoparticles (IC50 = 0.43–0.56 μM) was comparable with that of the Cremophor EL-formulated system (IC50 = 0.34 μM).
处理4,5-双[4-(甲氧羰基)苯氧]邻苯二腈和4,5-双[3,5-双(甲氧羰基)苯氧]邻苯二腈与过量的1,3-二亚胺异烟胺,在Zn(OAc)2·2H2O和1,8-二氮杂双环[5.4.0]十七烯的存在下,在三乙二醇单甲醚或聚乙烯醇单甲醚(平均分子量为550)中反应,导致“3 + 1”混合环化和转酯化在同一反应皿中进行,得到相应的二β-取代锌(II)酞菁,产率为7-23%。通过吸收光谱表明,这些化合物在N,N-二甲基甲酰胺中基本上没有聚集,并能有效生成单重态氧。单重态氧的量子产率(ΦΔ = 0.53-0.57)与未取代的锌(II)酞菁(ΦΔ = 0.56)相当。这些化合物在Cremophor EL乳液中对HT29人结肠腺癌和HepG2人肝癌细胞表现出光细胞毒性,IC50值范围为0.25-3.72 μM。具有四个三乙二醇链的类似物是最有效的光敏剂,并优先定位于HT29细胞的线粒体。双(聚乙烯醇)相应物可以在水和培养基中形成无表面活性剂的纳米颗粒。根据动态激光散射测定的水动力半径范围从6.3到79.8 nm,取决于制备方法和条件。这些纳米颗粒的光细胞毒性(IC50 = 0.43-0.56 μM)与Cremophor EL配方系统(IC50 = 0.34 μM)相当。
