The development of multifunctional photosensitizers (PSs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties plays a critical role in promoting the progress of the photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, a multifunctional PS (named DSABBT NPs) with AIE activity has been designed and prepared to carry out ultrafast staining, excellent two-photon bioimaging, and high-efficiency image-guided PDT. Simply, DSABBT with AIE characteristic was synthesized by one-step Schiff reaction of 4-(diethylamino)-salicylaldehyde (DSA) and 4,7-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BBT). Then, DSABBT and DSPE-PEG-cRGD generate nanoparticles (NPs) easily in an ultrapure water/tetrahydrofuran mixture through a facile nanoprecipitation at room temperature. We found that DSABBT NPs exhibit bright solid-state fluorescence with large stokes shifts (180 nm) and two-photon absorption cross-section (1700 GM). Importantly, DSABBT NPs exhibited excellent ability of ultrafast staining and two-photon imaging, which can readily label suborganelles by subtly shaking the living cells for 5 s under mild conditions. Moreover, DSABBT NPs displayed high singlet oxygen (O) generation capacity and remarkable image-guided PDT efficiency. Therefore, DSABBT NPs can act as the promising candidate for multifunctional PSs, which can destroy cancer cells and block malignant tumor growth via the production of reactive oxygen species upon irradiation conditions. These outcomes provide us with a selectable strategy for developing multifunctional theranostic systems.
具有聚集诱导发光 (AIE) 特性的多功能光动力治疗 (PDT) 光敏剂的发展对于推动 PDT 的进展起着至关重要的作用。在这项工作中,设计并制备了具有 AIE 活性的多功能 PS(命名为 DSABBT NPs),以进行超快染色、优异的双光子生物成像和高效的图像引导 PDT。简单地说,通过 4-(二乙氨基)水杨醛 (DSA) 和 4,7-双(4-氨基苯基)-2,1,3-苯并噻二唑 (BBT) 的一步席夫反应合成具有 AIE 特性的 DSABBT。然后,DSABBT 和 DSPE-PEG-cRGD 很容易在超纯水/四氢呋喃混合物中通过室温下的简单纳米沉淀生成纳米颗粒 (NPs)。我们发现 DSABBT NPs 具有明亮的固态荧光,具有较大的斯托克斯位移 (180nm) 和双光子吸收截面 (1700 GM)。重要的是,DSABBT NPs 表现出优异的超快染色和双光子成像能力,可在温和条件下通过轻微摇晃活细胞 5s 轻松标记亚细胞器。此外,DSABBT NPs 表现出高单线态氧 (O) 生成能力和显著的图像引导 PDT 效率。因此,DSABBT NPs 可以作为多功能 PS 的有前途的候选物,通过在辐照条件下产生活性氧来破坏癌细胞和阻断恶性肿瘤生长。这些结果为我们开发多功能治疗系统提供了一种可选策略。
