Problems solved by technology

However, the most widely used materials for PDT, such as porphyrins and phenothiazines, suffer from low photobleaching resistance and limited ROS generation due to their aggregation-quenching (ACQ) effect.
This leads to low therapeutic efficiency, which seriously hinders the practical application of these materials as therapeutic drugs.

Embodiment 1

[0202] Synthesis of TPPCN and TPE-CP

[0203] 4-(1-(4-(2,2-dicyano-1-styryl)phenyl-2,2-bis(4-methoxystyryl)-1-methylpyridine hexafluorophosphate (TPPCN,6)

[0204] TiCl 4 (1 mL, 9.0 mmol) was gradually added to dry THF (50 mL) containing zinc dust (1.17 g, 18.0 mmol) at -78 °C to form a reaction mixture. The reaction was refluxed for 2 hours, and 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone (1.090 g, 4.5 mmol) and compound 2 (0.786 g, 3 mmol) in dry THF (20 ml) were added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was refluxed for an additional 5 hours. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed with compressed air, the residue was extracted with DCM, and the residue was extracted with anhydrous Na 2 SO 4 dry. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column using DCM as eluent. A yellow solid compound 3 was obtained with a yield of 50%.

[0205] n-BuLi (0.6 mL, 1.2 mmol, 2.0 M n-hexane) was slowly added dropwise to a solution of compound 3 (0.471 g, 1.0 mmol) i...

[0210] Photophysical properties of TPPCN

[0211] like figure 1 The UV absorption spectrum of TPPCN in dichloromethane (DCM) solution is shown. The maximum absorption peak of TPPCN is at 440 nm, which is located in the visible light range, and visible light causes less damage to biological systems than UV light. Fluorescence spectra of solution and aggregated states indicate that TPPCN has typical AIE properties, such as Figures 2A-2B As shown, in the mixed system of n-hexane / dichloromethane, when the volume fraction of 2-n-hexane is 0-70%, TPPCN almost does not emit fluorescence, when the volume fraction of n-hexane increases to 80%, the fluorescence gradually appears, and the peak at 606nm. After further increasing the n-hexane volume fraction to 90%, the peak fluorescence intensity was about 217 times higher than that in pure DCM solution. Bright yellow fluorescence can be observed under irradiation of a 365 nm light source with a hand-held UV lamp. This apparent di...

[0213] Biocompatibility of TPPCN

[0214] The cytotoxicity of TPPCN on HeLa cells was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. When the TPPCN concentration was increased to 10 μM, cell viability was not significantly affected ( image 3 ), indicating that TPPCN has good biocompatibility to HeLa cells within the tested concentration range.

Abstract

AIE luminogens as theranostic agents may be used in photodynamic therapy to selectively detect and kill cancer cells and gram-positive bacteria. The theranostic agent can include a small molecule, organic compound capable of aggregation-induced emission and generation of reactive oxygen species upon exposure to white light. The theranostic agent may be used to selectively visualize and / or impair or stop the growth of cancer cells or Gram-positive bacteria in situ during a surgical procedure.

Description

[0001] cross application [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 62 / 603,131, filed provisionally by the inventor on May 19, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present application generally relates to the synthesis of a series of compounds with aggregation-induced luminescence properties and their use as fluorescent probes in selective imaging and killing of cancer cells and Gram-positive bacteria. Background technique [0004] In recent years, the emergence of integrated diagnostic reagents has opened a new door for cancer research. The integrated reagent for diagnosis and treatment can realize the integration of real-time diagnosis and in situ treatment functions. In most cancers, the size of the early tumor is small, so the early diagnosis of cancer is more difficult. Therefore, highly selective and sensitive diagnostic methods are of great significance for the early diagnosis of c...
