Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fluorescent dyes, and in particular to a near-infrared emitting dye molecule and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Photothermal therapy has been a hot topic in cancer treatment in recent years. Unlike conventional chemotherapy drugs, photothermal therapy converts near-infrared light into heat through fluorescent dyes. When the heat accumulates to a certain level, it will kill cancer cells.

[0003] Since Professor Tang Benzhong proposed the concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE), fluorescent dyes with AIE properties have attracted much attention. AIE fluorescent dye materials can overcome the aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching phenomenon of traditional fluorescent molecules and have been widely used in photodynamic therapy. At present, commonly used AIE fluorescent dyes include tetraphenylethylene, triphenylamine, silole, etc., but these traditional fluorescent dyes are all visible region luminescent dye molecules. In practical applications, they are very susceptible to interference from background signals in the body, resulting in a decrease in the imaging signal-to-noise ratio. The shorter emission wavelength also reflects poor deep tissue penetration ability.

[0004] Compared with traditional AIE fluorescent dyes that emit light in the visible region, AIE fluorescent dyes with near-infrared light have higher signal-to-background ratio (SBR), good tissue penetration and high photothermal conversion efficiency, and can be used to kill tumor cells or ablate bacteria. Therefore, the design and synthesis of near-infrared AIE luminescent molecules with high photothermal conversion efficiency have very broad application prospects in medical treatment and diagnosis.

[0065] The obtained solid was characterized, and the specific data are as follows:

[0066] 1H NMR(500MHz,DMSO-d6)δ7.61-7.55(m,3H),7.45-7.38(m,11H),7.35(d,J=9.4Hz,1H),7 .28-7.19(m,13H),7.11(d,J=9.8Hz,1H),6.78(d,J=9.0Hz,2H),6.72(d,J=9.2Hz,2H). 13 C NMR (600MHz, CDCl3) δ168.92,154.30,153.09,152.15,151.49,150.77,145.46,144.81,135.23,134.60,133.36,132.02,131.98,131.23,1 30.02,129.89,127.23,126.87,126.55,126.40,125.80,125.49,125. 19,124.39,119.34,118.03,114.39,114.30,114.28,113.60,111.54.

[0067] Performance Test:

[0068] (1) AIE property test of TP-TCNQ: n-Hexane is a poor solvent for TP-TCNQ. DMSO solution (1 mM) of TP-TCNQ was added to DMSO / n-hexane mixed solutions with different n-hexane volume fractions to obtain TP-TCNQ solutions with a concentration of 10 μM. The fluorescence intensity of TP-TCNQ in the mixed solutions with different n-hexane volume fractions was measured.

[0069] Figure 1 The fluorescence intensity test results of TP-TCNQ in DMSO / n-hexane mixed solutions with different n-hexane volume fractions (the volume fractions of n-hexane from low to high are 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% and the excitation light wavelength is 650nm). Figure 1 It can be seen that with the increase of n-hexane volume fraction, the fluorescence intensity of TP-TCNQ gradually increases, indicating that TP-TCNQ has AIE characteristics.

[0070] (2) Test of TP-TCNQ's ability to produce active oxygen: prepare the DMSO stock solution of the sample to be tested, take 20 μL of the sample to be tested and 50 μL of the active oxygen scavenger DCFH, add them to a cuvette containing 2 mL of PBS buffer solution, so that the final test concentration of TP-TCNQ is 10 μM and the final concentration of DCFH is 40 μM. Use FL-4700 fluorescence spectrometer for testing, set the excitation wavelength to 489 nm, first measure the fluorescence spectrum in the absence of light (0 min), and then measure the sample spectrum at the same interval to obtain the ratio of real-time luminescence intensity to initial luminescence intensity; at the same time, use a single DCFH solution (concentration of 40 μM) and a single TP-TCNQ solution (concentration of 10 μM) as controls. The results are as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0071] Figure 2 The fluorescence emission spectrum of the mixed solution of TP-TCNQ and DCFH changes with the illumination time, where the interval between each two tests is 2 minutes, and the test is carried out under white light (10W). Figure 2 It can be seen that with the increase of illumination time, the fluorescence intensity of the mixed solution gradually increased and reached saturation at 24 min, indicating that TP-TCNQ has the ability to produce reactive oxygen species.

[0072] (3) Test of the photodynamic killing ability of TP-TCNQ on Staphylococcus aureus. The specific steps are as follows:

[0073] The Staphylococcus aureus strain was revived and inoculated into LB liquid medium and cultured in a shaker at 37°C and 220 r / min for 16 h. At this time, the concentration of Staphylococcus aureus in the bacterial suspension was about 2×10 9 CFU / mL; 1 mL of cultured Staphylococcus aureus was taken, the culture medium was removed, and it was washed with PBS; different volumes of DMSO solution of TP-TCNQ were added to make the final concentration of TP-TCNQ 0 μM, 2 μM, 4 μM, and 6 μM, respectively. After the bacterial suspension was incubated in a shaker at 37°C and 220 r / min for 10 min, the bacterial suspension was illuminated for 20 min using a solar simulator equipped with a 400 nm filter; after the illumination, the bacterial suspension was gradiently diluted to 1×10 7 The cells were plated on LB agar solid medium and cultured in a 37°C incubator for 16 h before colony counting and survival rate calculation, which was used as the phototoxicity group. The cells were cultured and counted without light treatment, which was used as the dark toxicity group.

[0074] Figure 3 The photodynamic killing of Staphylococcus aureus by TP-TCNQ at different concentrations. Figure 3It can be seen that with the increase of TP-TCNQ concentration, the survival rates of Staphylococcus aureus in both the phototoxicity group and the dark toxicity group decreased significantly, among which the survival rate of the phototoxicity group decreased more, indicating that TP-TCNQ has antibacterial activity under both light and dark conditions, and can be used for synergistic antibacterial research of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.

[0075] (4) Photothermal performance test of TP-TCNQ

[0076] First, in order to increase the water solubility of TP-TCNQ, TP-TCNQ nanoparticles (TP-TCNQ NPs) were obtained by encapsulating DSPE-mPEG2000. The preparation method of TP-TCNQ NPs is as follows: TP-TCNQ and DSPE-mPEG2000 were weighed and dissolved in 1.5 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) respectively, and the two were mixed evenly under ultrasonic conditions. In a cell disruptor, the mixed solution was added dropwise to 15 mL of water, and a clear solution was formed after ultrasonic treatment for 5 minutes. The obtained solution was transferred into a dialysis bag and dialyzed in ultrapure water for 12 hours, then taken out and evenly covered with polyethylene glycol to precipitate excess water to obtain a TP-TCNQ NPs aqueous dispersion. By changing the amount of TP-TCNQ and DSPE-mPEG2000, TP-TCNQ NPs aqueous dispersions with concentrations of 25 μM, 50 μM and 100 μM were obtained, respectively.

[0077] TP-TCNQ NPs aqueous dispersions with different concentrations were packaged and tested for photothermal properties. During the test, a 660nm laser source was used for irradiation, and a FLIR thermal imager was used to record temperature changes. The data was then processed using FLIRTools software.

[0078] Figure 4 The temperature change of TP-TCNQ NPs with a concentration of 100 μM under different laser powers; Figure 4 It can be seen that with the increase of laser power, the temperature of the test solution gradually increases. When the power is 0.5W / cm 2 When the irradiation time was 300s, the temperature of the test solution reached 70°C, which was nearly 45°C higher than that at room temperature. Therefore, TP-TCNQ NPs have good photothermal generation ability.

[0079] Figure 5 The laser power is 0.3W / cm 2 Temperature changes of TP-TCNQ NPs with different concentrations. Figure 5It can be seen that as the concentration increases, the heat generated by the nanoparticles becomes higher. When the concentration is 100 μM and the irradiation time is 300 s, the temperature of the test solution reaches 50 °C, so TP-TCNQ NPs have good photothermal properties.

[0080] At a laser power of 0.3 W / cm 2 Under the condition of , 100μM TP-TCNQ NPs were irradiated with a 660nm laser source for 300s and then cooled for 600s. During this period, the temperature change of the test solution was recorded and the photothermal conversion efficiency of TP-TCNQ NPs was calculated. The results are shown in Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the photothermal conversion efficiency of 100μM TP-TCNQ NPs under 660nm laser irradiation is as high as 53%.

[0081] The thermal stability of TP-TCNQ NPs was tested under 660 nm laser irradiation. Specifically, when the laser power was 0.3 W / cm 2 Under the condition of TP-TCNQ NPs concentration of 100 μM, the laser was irradiated for 10 min and cooled for 10 min as one cycle. The temperature change of the test solution during the cycle was recorded. A total of five cycles were tested. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown. Figure 7 It can be seen that TP-TCNQ NPs have good stability, and the photothermal conversion ability has not changed much before and after five cycles.

[0082] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the near-infrared emitting dye molecules provided by the present invention have high photothermal conversion efficiency and can be used to construct photothermal therapy drugs guided by near-infrared fluorescence imaging; and have the ability to produce active oxygen and strong bactericidal ability, especially under light conditions, the bactericidal efficiency is higher, and can be used to construct photodynamic bactericidal drugs.

[0083] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
