Phototherapeutic agents with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, strong reactive oxygen species generation and photothermal conversion capabilities are highly desirable for use in cancer therapy. Herein, a water-soluble NIR croconaine dye (TCR) with a thiophene-croconaine rigid core and two symmetric alkyl chains was designed and synthesized. TCR exhibits intense NIR absorption and fluorescence that peaked at 780 and 815 nm, respectively, with a high molar extinction coefficient of 1.19 × 10 M cm. Moreover, TCR has a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 77% and is capable of generating hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) under 735 nm laser irradiation. Based on these outstanding properties, TCR has proven its application in NIR fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy of cancer.
具有近红外(NIR)荧光、强活性氧生成能力和光热转换能力的光治疗剂在癌症治疗中具有很高的应用价值。在此,设计并合成了一种具有噻吩-藏红宁刚性核和两条对称烷基链的水溶性近红外藏红宁染料(TCR)。TCR表现出强烈的近红外吸收和荧光,分别在780和815nm处达到峰值,摩尔消光系数高达1.19×10 M cm。此外,TCR具有77%的高光热转换效率,并且在735nm激光照射下能够产生羟基自由基(OH˙)。基于这些优异的性能,TCR已证明其在近红外荧光成像引导的癌症光热/光动力协同治疗中的应用。
