Abstract Controlled drug release systems can enhance the safety and availability but avoid side effect of drugs. Herein, concept DNA complementary base pairing rules in biology is used to design prepare a photothermal‐triggered system. Adenine (A) modified polydopamine nanoparticles (A‐PDA, photothermal reagent) effectively bind with thymine (T) Zinc phthalocyanine (T‐ZnPc, photosensitizer) forming A‐PDA = T‐ZnPc (PATP) complex based on A T rules. Similar DNA, whose double strands will break...
As the demand for deuterated compounds continues to rise in medicinal chemistry, various methods have been developed incorporate deuterium atoms. Among these, achieving consecutive trans-dual deuteration remains a challenging task. We designed novel strategy synthesize cyclopropanes at adjacent carbon positions. This approach involves H/D exchange followed by photocatalyzed deuteroaminomethylation of cyclopropenes, with oxide serving as sole source. The reaction is carried out under mild...
The delayed detection and recurrence of cancer lead to disappointing cure rates, underscoring the imperative for exploring precise early tumor diagnosis techniques. Despite superior biocompatibility flexible programmability DNA nanoprobes imaging, intricate designs with multiple oligonucleotide sequences are always indispensable, which significantly hinder their clinical application commercial development. To construct a simply designed nanoprobe, here, we constructed universal...
Abstract The simultaneous application of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) offers substantial advantages in cancer treatment. However, their synergistic anticancer efficacy is often limited by tumor hypoxia, thermotolerance induced high expression heat shock proteins (HSP). Fortunately, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), known for its direct cytotoxic effect on cells, has been recognized ability to enhance PTT PDT. effectiveness H S these therapies challenged low loading efficiency,...

Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) has attracted substantial interest in materials synthesis, energy storage, environmental governance, and biomedical science since it was first reported 2007. PDA, owing to its excellent biocompatibility photothermal conversion efficiency ( η ), been used therapy alone combination with photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, radiation immunotherapy, gas for cancer treatment. This review summarizes the methods synthesizing structurally diverse PDA-based...
Abstract In the context of growing importance heterocyclic compounds across various disciplines, numerous strategies for their construction have emerged. Exploiting distinctive properties cyclopropenes, this study introduces an innovative approach synthesis benzo‐fused five‐membered oxa‐ and aza‐heterocycles through a formal [4+1] cyclization subsequent acid‐catalyzed intramolecular O ‐ to N rearrangement. These transformations exhibit mild reaction conditions wide substrate scope. The...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been applied in cancer treatment by utilizing reactive oxygen species (ROSs) to kill cells. However, a high concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) is present cells and can consume ROSs sharply reduce the PDT activity. To address this problem, herein, we synthesized thymine modified Zn phthalocyanine (ZnPc, monomer an active form for PDT) prepared its nanoparticle (an aggregator inactive form) with Hg2+ providing driving force "thymine-Hg2+-thymine"...
Despite exhibiting potent anticancer activity, the strong hemolytic properties of melittin (MEL) significantly restrict its delivery efficiency and clinical applications. To address this issue, we have devised a strategy wherein homologous dopamine (DA), an essential component bee venom, is harnessed as vehicle for synthesis MEL-polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (MP NPs). The ingenious approach lies in fact that MEL basic polypeptide, polymerization DA also conducted under alkaline...
Nitric oxide (NO) can play both prosurvival and prodeath roles in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The generation efficiency of peroxynitrite anions (ONOO–), by NO superoxide (O2•–), significantly influenced the outcome. Reports indicated that such is closely related to distance between O2•–. Thus, this manuscript, l-arginine (Arg) ethyl ester-modified zinc phthalocyanine (Arg-ZnPc) was designed synthesized as a photosensitizer (PS) donor. Post light irradiation, guanido Arg-ZnPc be effectively...
