This paper reports on the design and synthesis of new multifunctional porphyrin-based therapeutic agents for potential therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Zinc complexes of A3B-type -arylporphyrins containing OH- and COOH- groups were modified with chelating ligands based on 4'-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine derivatives in high yields. Novel complexes with Gd(III), Fe(III) were obtained for these conjugates. Aggregation behaviour in solutions of different solubilisers was studied to inform the selection of the optimal solubilising platform for the porphyrins obtained; their photophysical and photochemical properties were also characterised. Micellar Pluronic F127 formulation was found to be the most effective solubiliser for stabilising the fluorescence-active monomolecular form of the photosensitisers (PS). In vitro cytotoxicity of the compounds was studied on the HEP-2 cell line with and without irradiation for 1.5 and 24 h. As a result, the IC50 of compounds and at an irradiation dose of 8.073 J/cm was shown to be 1.87 ± 0.333 and 1.4 ± 0.152 μM, respectively; without irradiation, the compound had no toxic effect within the studied concentration range (1.5 h). A test for the inhibition of metabolic cooperation or promoter activity was also performed for the abovementioned compounds, showing the efficacy and safety of the conjugates obtained. Preliminary data have indicated the high potential of the new type of PS to be promising molecular theranostic agents.
本文报道了新型多功能卟啉基治疗剂的设计与合成,用于潜在的治疗和诊断应用。含羟基和羧基的A3B型芳基卟啉锌配合物与基于4'-(4-甲基苯基)-2,2':6',2″-三联吡啶衍生物的螯合配体以高产率进行了修饰。获得了这些共轭物与钆(III)、铁(III)的新型配合物。研究了不同增溶剂溶液中的聚集行为,以指导为所得卟啉选择最佳增溶平台;还对其光物理和光化学性质进行了表征。发现胶束普朗尼克F127制剂是稳定光敏剂(PS)荧光活性单分子形式最有效的增溶剂。在有和没有照射1.5小时和24小时的情况下,在HEP-2细胞系上研究了这些化合物的体外细胞毒性。结果表明,在照射剂量为8.073 J/cm时,化合物和的半数抑制浓度(IC50)分别为1.87±0.333和1.4±0.152 μM;在没有照射的情况下,该化合物在研究的浓度范围内(1.5小时)没有毒性作用。还对上述化合物进行了代谢协同抑制或启动子活性测试,显示了所得共轭物的有效性和安全性。初步数据表明,新型PS具有成为有前景的分子治疗诊断剂的巨大潜力。
