Synthesis and photochromic properties of methacryloxy 6-nitrospirobenzopyrans
摘要:
The synthesis. and spectroscopic characterization of several methacryloxy-modified spiropyran dyes is reported. The dyes were found to have similar photochromic isomerization rates relative to a commercially available reference compound in solution. The methacryloxy-modified dyes were also successfully incorporated into polymer matrices, where they retained their ability to photoisomerize and complex with cobalt (II) and zinc (II) ions.

Herein, light-responsive nanocarriers based on hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) nanoparticles modified with spiropyran-containing light-responsive copolymer (PRMS-FA) were fabricated via a simple self-assembly process. HMS modified with long-chain hydrocarbon octadecyltrimethoxysilane was an ideal base material owing to its good biocompatibility and drug capability. The spiropyran-containing amphiphilic copolymer could shift its hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance to become hydrophilic upon UV (λ = 365 nm) irradiation and then break away from the hydrophobic surface of the HMS core, followed by the uncaging and release of the pre-loaded anticancer drug. Simultaneously, the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process based on the structural transformation of PRMS-FA was observed, which could act as a real-time monitor for the light-controlled drug release. Our model experiments in vitro tested and verified that this composite nanocarrier has good biocompatibility, active tumour targeting to the folate receptor over-expressed in tumour cells, is non-toxic to normal cells and that light-controlled drug release with real-time monitoring can be achieved.
本文通过简单的自组装工艺,制备了基于含螺吡喃光响应共聚物(PRMS-FA)修饰的中空介孔二氧化硅(HMS)纳米颗粒的光响应纳米载体。长链碳氢化合物十八烷基三甲氧基硅烷修饰的 HMS 具有良好的生物相容性和药物功能,是一种理想的基础材料。在紫外线(λ = 365 nm)照射下,含有螺吡喃的两亲共聚物可改变其亲水-疏水平衡,变得亲水,然后脱离 HMS 内核的疏水表面,释放出预载的抗癌药物。与此同时,我们还观察到了基于 PRMS-FA 结构转变的荧光共振能量转移(FRET)过程,该过程可作为光控药物释放的实时监测器。我们的体外模型实验测试并验证了这种复合纳米载体具有良好的生物相容性、对肿瘤细胞中过度表达的叶酸受体具有积极的肿瘤靶向性、对正常细胞无毒,并且可以实现实时监测的光控药物释放。

Abstract The syntheses of five photochromic monomers derived from N‐ (2‐methacryloxyethyl)‐3′, 3′‐dimethylspiro‐[2H‐1] benzopyrane‐2, 2′‐indoline are reported. The preparation of these compounds involves the heterogeneous reaction between the N‐(hydroxyethyl)‐2,3,3‐trimethylindolenonium bromide and methacryloyl chloride in a polar solvent. The esterificated salt is easily purified by crystallization
Molecularly imprinted smart polymers (MISPs) are provided herein, as well as novel monomers for preparing MISPs, and processes for preparing MISPs. The MISPs can be used applications such as, for example, detecting/absorbing or isolating biological and non-biological agents. The MISPs described herein comprise responsive monomeric units which undergo a physico-chemical change (e.g., a bond formation or cleavage) in response to an external change, such that the MISP selectively binds to a target molecule and releases a bound target molecule in response to the external change.

Charge switching: Control of contactelectrification was achieved using a combination of photoreactive polymers and light. Upon UV irradiation, polymers substituted with photochromic spiropyrans reversibly switch their rate, and depending on chemical structure, their sign of charging by contactelectrification (see picture). Consistent with empirical predictions, these photochromicpolymers tended to charge
