Synthesis and in Vitro Photocytotoxicity of Coumarin Derivatives for One- and Two-Photon Excited Photodynamic Therapy
摘要:
Triethylene glycol functionalized coumarin derivatives 1-5 were synthesized and investigated as photosensitizers for one- and two-photon excited photodynamic therapy (PDT). Their absorption, fluorescence, triplet-state quantum yields, and singlet oxygen quantum yields were found to be significantly related to the substituent at the 7-position of the coumarin ring. In vitro photocytotoxicity of these derivatives toward HepG2 cells was examined and compared with a clinical drug. In vitro generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cellular uptake, and intracellular distribution of these derivatives were also characterized to fully reveal their structure-property relationships. The results showed that derivative 5, with a two-photon absorption cross section value of 1556 GM, could be a powerful PDT agent for both superficial diseases and solid tumors.
bis(arylidene)cycloalkanone photosensitizers modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG) have been studied for two-photon excited photodynamic therapy (2PE-PDT). As compared with their prototype compounds, these PEGylated photosensitizers show enhanced water solubilities while their photophysical and photochemical properties, including linear absorption, two-photon absorption, fluorescence, and singlet oxygen

A series of polyethylene glycol-functionalized benzylidene cyclopentanone dyes with varying lipid/water partition coefficients were synthesized in high yields by a simple process. Detailed characterization and systematic studies of these molecules, including linear and nonlinear photophysical properties, reactive oxygen yields, and in vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT) activities, were conducted. Four of these dyes exhibited good solubility in PBS (>2 mg ml−1, which is sufficient for clinical venous injection), high reactive oxygen yields, large two-photon absorption and low dark toxicity, under the therapy dosage. Among them, two dyes could be absorbed efficiently by human rectal cancer 1116 cells, and presented strong two-photon excited PDT activity in in vitrocell experiments.
