hydroxymethyl selenorhodamine green (gGlu-HMSeR) as a photo-inactive compound that would be specifically cleaved by the tumor-associated enzyme γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) to generate the potent photosensitizer HMSeR. gGlu-HMSeR has a spirocyclic structure and is colorless and does not show marked phototoxicity toward low-GGT-expressing cells or normal tissues upon irradiation with visible light. In contrast

HMSeR具有螺环结构,无色,在可见光照射下,对表达低GGT的细胞或正常组织没有明显的光毒性。相反,
HMSeR主要采取开放结构,着色并在照射时产生活性氧。因此,γ-谷
氨酰基作为光动力疗法(PDT)的肿瘤靶向部分,开启了肿瘤细胞特异性的光毒性作用。为了验证该系统,我们采用了鸡绒膜尿囊膜(CAM),广泛用于药物毒性初步评估的模型。gGlu-
HMSeR处理后的光辐照导致选择性消融了植入的肿瘤球体,而不会损害健康组织。
