Abstract

Chemiluminescence-based photodynamic therapy (CLPDT) offers a promising solution to the light penetration limits of traditional PDT. However, it lacks spatiotemporal control. Intracellularly activated, self-luminescent PDT agents a molecular logic gate switch may address this key limitation. We report the synthesis of the self-activating, chemiluminescent photosensitizer (PS) that enables tumor microenvironment-controlled PDT applications. This system integrates a dioxetane-based (Diox) chemiluminescent scaffold with a ruthenium-based (Ru) PS through an oxidation and pH-sensitive linker to enable an AND-gated activation mechanism. The Diox@Ru conjugate is selectively activated by elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), characteristic of aggressive cancer phenotypes arising from altered cell metabolism. Upon exposure to ROS (in this case, hydrogen peroxide), the boronic acid ester protecting group of the dioxetane is cleaved, initiating localized chemiluminescence that directly excites the Ru(II) PS to generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen (O). Importantly, Diox@Ru remains inert under physiological conditions (neutral pH, low ROS) as well as in the acidic, ROS-rich extracellular tumor milieu (slightly acidic, high ROS). Its activation is confined to the intracellular space of glycolytic cancer cells with mildly alkaline, ROS-rich cytoplasm; and proceeds autonomously, without the need for external light irradiation. In both two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultures and three-dimensional (3D) tumor spheroid models, Diox@Ru exhibits robust luminescence and efficient O production, resulting in potent cytotoxic effects. These findings present a versatile platform for autonomous activation of self-luminescent PDT agents and highlight the promise of logic-gated chemiluminescence for spatially controlled therapy in complex biological settings.

摘要

基于化学发光的光动力疗法(CLPDT)为传统光动力疗法的光穿透限制提供了一个有前景的解决方案。然而,它缺乏时空控制。细胞内激活的自发光光动力治疗剂——一种分子逻辑门开关可能解决这一关键限制。我们报告了一种自激活、化学发光光敏剂(PS)的合成,该光敏剂能够实现肿瘤微环境控制的光动力治疗应用。该系统通过氧化和pH敏感的连接体将基于二氧杂环丁烷(Diox)的化学发光支架与基于钌(Ru)的PS整合在一起,以实现与门控激活机制。Diox@Ru共轭物被细胞内活性氧(ROS)升高选择性激活,ROS是细胞代谢改变导致的侵袭性癌症表型的特征。暴露于ROS(在这种情况下是过氧化氢)时,二氧杂环丁烷的硼酸酯保护基团被裂解,引发局部化学发光,直接激发Ru(II)PS以产生活性细胞毒性单线态氧(O)。重要的是,Diox@Ru在生理条件下(中性pH,低ROS)以及酸性、富含ROS的细胞外肿瘤环境(微酸性,高ROS)中保持惰性。其激活局限于具有轻度碱性、富含ROS的细胞质的糖酵解癌细胞的细胞内空间;并且自主进行,无需外部光照射。在二维(2D)单层培养和三维(3D)肿瘤球体模型中,Diox@Ru均表现出强烈的发光和高效的O生成,从而产生强大的细胞毒性作用。这些发现为自发光光动力治疗剂的自主激活提供了一个通用平台,并突出了逻辑门控化学发光在复杂生物环境中进行空间控制治疗的前景。
