Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis and biomedicine, and in particular to a method for directional photocatalytic synthesis and the application of conjugated polymers. Background Art

[0002] Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide redox couple (NAD + / NADH) plays a very important coenzyme role in cell life activities, especially in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and glycolysis. Under natural physiological conditions, NAD + It will be oxidized into 1,4-NADH with coenzyme activity, and then further reduced to NAD during glycolysis and other processes. + In this process, ATP required for cell life activities is produced. Under external conditions, NAD + The oxidation of NAD often produces two products: 1,4-NADH and 1,6-NADH, which are difficult to separate due to their similar physical properties. + It is difficult to achieve single product oxidation of NAD, specifically producing 1,6-NADH to study + / NADH redox plays a very important role in the circulation of cells.

[0003] Conjugated polymers have attracted considerable research interest in chemistry, biology, and medicine due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties. Their rigid, delocalized π-electron backbones impart strong light absorption / emission and signal transmission capabilities. Their highly reactive side chain groups allow conjugated polymers to possess a wide range of biological functions, enabling their widespread application in biomedicine.

[0004] Hypoxia in tumors is primarily due to the rapid proliferation of tumor cells. During this process, oxygen and energy are rapidly consumed, increasing internal tumor pressure and preventing oxygen from diffusing into the tumor from the outside, leading to a decrease in local oxygen levels. Compared to cells in normal normoxia, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment often exhibits elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, a low pH, and abnormal metabolic activity. Hypoxia can lead to tumor cell heterogeneity and suppress innate adaptive immune responses, thereby increasing the likelihood of tumor metastasis. Furthermore, some tumor cells can maintain a chronic hypoxic state, and some hypoxic tumor cells can even tolerate radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used in cancer treatment due to its high efficacy and rapid response. However, due to a lack of oxygen, PDT cannot consistently generate sufficient ROS levels to kill tumors, limiting the development of PDT strategies. Therefore, a strategy that can sustain tumor cell killing under low or even no oxygen conditions is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0024] (2) The present invention uses a simple photocatalytic method to prepare 1,6-NADH.

[0061] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods.

[0062] Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources.

[0063] The conjugated polymers used in the following examples were synthesized according to the method disclosed in Chong H, Nie CY, Zhu CL, Yang Q, Liu LB, Lv FT, Wang S, Langmuir, 2012, 28: 2091-2098. The specific structure of the conjugated polymer (hereinafter referred to as PFP) is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] Where n is 12; Wherein, X is Br.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] 1. Preparation of water-soluble conjugated polymer dispersion

[0068] (1) Disperse 7 mg of conjugated polymer powder in 1 mL of DMSO and ultrasonicate for 1 h to obtain a 10 mM polymer stock solution.

[0069] (2) Add 9 mL of deionized water and continue ultrasonication for 1 h.

[0070] 2. Characterization

[0071] (1) Absorption and fluorescence spectra of conjugated polymers

[0072] 1 mM conjugated polymer was diluted in aqueous solution to prepare a 10 μM solution. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the conjugated polymer were measured at a constant temperature of 25°C (absorption spectra were measured using a Thermo Scientific Evolution 201; fluorescence spectra were measured using a Hitachi F-4500 fluorometer). Figure 1 .

[0073] pass Figure 1 It can be seen that the conjugated polymer has obvious absorption in the visible light range. The band gap E can be calculated according to the following formula: g It is 2.46eV.

[0074]

[0075] λ g : Absorption wavelength threshold

[0076] (2) Testing the photocurrent response of conjugated polymers

[0077] Solution preparation: 10 μM PFP aqueous solution, 100 mM TEOA aqueous solution (triethanolamine aqueous solution), and 0.5% by volume Nafion aqueous solution were prepared respectively.

[0078] 30 μL of 1mM PFP aqueous solution was added dropwise onto 1.2cm×1.2cm carbon paper and placed in a fume hood to allow the solvent to evaporate naturally. 20 μL of Nafion aqueous solution was added dropwise to fix the material on the carbon paper electrode. The carbon paper treated as above was used as the working electrode, Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, and the Pt electrode as the counter electrode. They were placed in an electrolytic cell and the photoelectric response was tested using an electrochemical workstation (Metrohm, Autolab PGATAT 302N, Switzerland) (the electrolyte was an aqueous solution containing 1mM triethanolamine, and the light source was white light). The applied voltage was 0.2V, the scanning speed was 0.05mV / s, and the graph was obtained. Figure 2 .

[0079] pass Figure 2 It can be seen that the conjugated polymer has an obvious photocurrent response.

[0080] (3) Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy analysis to test the highest occupied molecular orbital of conjugated polymers

[0081] A 1 mM aqueous solution of the conjugated polymer was dropped onto a 1 cm × 1 cm ITO film and a film was prepared using a spin coater at a speed of 2000 rpm for 2 min.

[0082] pass Figure 3 The test results show that the HOMO of the conjugated polymer is -5.82 eV and the LUMO is -3.36 eV using the following formula.

[0083] E HOMO =-[21.22-(E cutoff -E F )]
