Earth-abundant metal-based theranostics, agents that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions within the same molecule, may hold key to development of low-cost personalized medicines. Here, we report a set O-linked nonaromatic benzitripyrrin (C^N^N^N) macrocyclic organonickel(II) complexes, Ni-1–4, containing strong σ-donating M–C bonds. Complexes Ni-1–4 are characterized by square-planar coordination geometry as inferred from structural studies Ni-1. They photothermal therapy,...
Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non‐invasive treatment modality against range of cancers and nonmalignant diseases, however one must be aware the risk causing phototoxic reactions after treatment. We herein report bioinspired design next‐generation photosensitizers (PSs) that not only effectively produce ROS but undergo fast metabolism to overcome undesirable side effects. constructed series β‐pyrrolic ring‐opening seco ‐chlorins, termed beidaphyrin ( BP ), beidapholactone BPL their...
The gallium ion (Ga3+ ) has long been believed to disrupt ferric homeostasis in the body by competing with iron cofactors metalloproteins, ultimately leading cell death. This study revealed that through an indirect pathway, can trigger ferroptosis, a type of non-apoptotic death regulated iron. is exemplified complex salen ligand (Ga-1); we found Ga-1 acts as effective anion transporter affect pH gradient and change membrane permeability, mitochondrial dysfunction release ferrous from...
Diagnostics and therapeutics are generally separate entities in medicine. Theranostics, agents that provide for both modalities, being developed. However, they often require complex syntheses so as to incorporate within one molecular structure diagnostic therapeutic elements. Moreover, their use is complicated by the disparate dosage requirements diagnosis therapy. Herein, we report closely related porphyrinoid regioisomers produced from same 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction give rise...
Abstract Construction of Gd III photosensitizers is important for designing theranostic agents owing to the unique properties arising from seven unpaired f electrons 3+ ion. Combining these with advantages porpholactones tunable NIR absorption, we herein report synthesis complexes Gd‐1 – 4 ( 1 , porphyrin; 2 porpholactone; 3 and cis ‐ trans ‐porphodilactone, respectively) investigated their function as singlet oxygen O ) photosensitizers. These displayed quantum yields Φ Δ s) 0.64–0.99 order...
We report here porphodilactol derivatives and their corresponding metal complexes as “all-in-one” phototheranostics by controlling the relationship between intersystem crossing (ISC) photothermal conversion efficiency following photoexcitation.
Gallium(III)-based drugs have gained momentum in cancer therapy due to their iron-dependent anticancer activity. Judicious choice of ligands is critical for improved oral bioavailability, antitumor efficacy, and distinct mechanisms from simple GaIII salts. We describe complexes with planar tetradentate salen [salen=2,3-bis[(4-dialkylamino-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]but-2-enedinitrile)] labile axial solvent ligands, which display tumor growth inhibition vitro vivo comparable cisplatin....
Although magnetism undoubtedly influences life on Earth, the science behind biological magnetic sensing is largely a mystery, and it has proved challenging, especially in sciences, to harness interactions of fields (MFs) with matter achieve specific ends. Using well-established radical pair (RP) mechanism, we here demonstrate bottom-up strategy for exploitation MF effects living cells by translating knowledge from studies RP reactions performed
Abstract The conversion of CO 2 into fuels or commodity chemicals by electrochemical photochemical reduction is a promising strategy to relieve the ongoing energy crisis and increasing environmental pollution. Inspired naturally occurring bimetalloenzymes, we have designed hetero–bimetallic catalysts ( FeM ) that involve linking an iron tetraphenylporphyrin FeP with tripyridylamine (TPA) moiety, which provides distal chelating site for Cu 2+ Zn . We found introduction greatly enhances its...
