Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of azo switch technology, specifically to azo fluorescent compounds and their preparation methods and applications, and nano-antibacterial agents and their preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] Azobenzene is a photoswitch that undergoes reversible cis-trans isomerization under light irradiation. This light-triggered switching property has led to the broad application potential of azo molecules in materials science and nanotechnology. In addition, azo photoswitches activated by non-invasive visible light are also used to create photocontrolled biological systems, regulate biomolecular functions, and study cell behavior.
[0003] In biological research, changes in the molecular structure of azo photoswitches and the regulation of cellular behavior by light are primarily manifested at the cellular microenvironment level. Over the past two decades, the rapid development of fluorescence imaging technology has provided an intuitive method for visually tracking and monitoring dynamic biological processes within the cellular microenvironment. Therefore, some researchers have combined fluorescence imaging with azo photoswitches to develop azo fluorescent switches. These switches not only provide intuitive evidence of changes in biological processes, but their own fluorescence changes can also serve as response signals for assessing photoregulatory processes.
[0004] Generally, the basic strategy for constructing azo fluorescent switches is to directly introduce a fluorophore at the end of an azo group or azobenzene. However, azo fluorescent switches synthesized using this method still suffer from problems such as easy fluorescence quenching, poor biocompatibility, and complex synthesis steps.
[0005] Studies show that nanoscale controlled-release systems constructed using azo switches as photoresponsive components can release drugs in an orderly and controllable manner, significantly improving bioavailability. In these controlled-release systems, the azo photoswitches coupled to prodrugs or macromolecular carriers can induce changes in the system's structure and properties at the mesoscale through a photoisomerization process, thereby achieving photocontrolled drug release. If this controlled-release process can be visualized using fluorescence imaging technology, it will not only be possible to locate lesions or disease sites but also to understand the structure-activity relationship between the degree of controlled release and therapeutic effect, thus serving precision medicine.
[0006] Based on the above discussion, it is necessary to develop a novel azo fluorescent switch that can both control release and have imaging performance. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The nano-antibacterial agent of the present invention is based on a fluorescent azo molecular switch and uses a surfactant as a nanocarrier, and can simultaneously load small molecule drugs and fluorescent light switches through self-assembly.

[0020] The azo fluorescent compound provided by this invention can be used as a novel azo fluorescent light switch.
[0021] This invention relates to nanoparticles, and the provided fluorescent light switch can switch back and forth between trans and cis configurations under irradiation with visible light of different wavelengths; accompanied by reversible changes in fluorescence, while exhibiting obvious photocontrolled fluorescence characteristics.
[0022] The nano-formulation (i.e., azo nano-antibacterial agent) using the azo fluorescent compound of the present invention as the photocontrol component can not only achieve photocontrolled drug release, but its controlled release process can also be visualized and detected by fluorescence imaging technology.

[0074] The room temperature mentioned in this invention refers to 25±2℃.
[0075] Preparation Example 1: Synthesis of azo fluorescent compound 1, named AzoPJ, via the following synthetic route:
[0076]
[0077] The specific steps include:
[0078] 1.0 mmol of 4-amino-1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazole was dispersed in 2 mL of ice water and stirred. Hydrochloric acid (12 M, 0.5 mL) was then added. Subsequently, an aqueous solution of 1.2 mmol of sodium nitrite was slowly added to the solution. After stirring for 30 min under ice water conditions, the pH of the resulting diazonium salt solution was adjusted by adding aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. When the pH reached 6.5, an ethanolic solution of julonidine (1.3 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, and the resulting orange-yellow precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration. The crude product was washed with water, ethanol, and petroleum ether, and then purified by column chromatography to obtain an orange solid in 65% yield.
[0079] The characterization results are as follows:
[0080] 1 H NMR (600MHz, CDCl3): δ=7.31(s,2H),3.75(s,3H),3.23(s,4H),2.81(s,4H),2.53(s,3H),2.47(s,3H),1.99(s,4H). LC-MS: m / z=309.1946[M]+; calculated value=309.1953.
[0081] Tests were performed on AzoPJ, and the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra (excitation wavelength 350 nm) of AzoPJ are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown.
[0082] Figure 1 Figure A shows the change in the absorption spectrum of the fluorescent azo switch under 440nm illumination. Figure 1 B represents the change in absorption spectrum of the fluorescent azo switch after three minutes of 440nm light irradiation followed by 535nm visible light irradiation. From... Figure 1 As can be seen, after irradiation with 440nm blue light in DMSO, the ultraviolet absorption spectrum changed significantly, with two absorption peaks appearing at 376nm and 453nm, respectively, indicating that trans-AzoPJ underwent photoisomerization to generate the cis-AzoPJ isomer.
[0083] To verify the reversibility of the cis-trans isomerism of AzoPJ, subsequent irradiation of cis-AzoPJ with 535 nm green light revealed that its absorption spectrum could almost completely recover to its initial state. These photoisomerization properties not only demonstrate that AzoPJ possesses excellent photoisomerization properties, but also indicate that this azo molecule is a typical visible light-induced molecular switch.
[0084] To determine whether the electron donor julonidine unit can effectively suppress the TICT process in the molecule and thus improve its fluorescence intensity, the fluorescence spectrum of AzoPJ was further tested, and the results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Figure A shows the emission spectrum change of the fluorescent azo switch under 440nm illumination. Figure 2 B represents the emission spectrum change after irradiation with 535nm visible light following isomorphic isomerization of the fluorescent azo dye after 440nm illumination. (Example:) Figure 2 As shown, in DMSO, AzoPJ produces a distinct emission peak at 507 nm and a weaker emission can be observed at 420 nm. When irradiated with 440 nm blue light, its fluorescence spectrum changes significantly. With prolonged irradiation time, the trans-azo molecule isomerizes to form the cis-azo molecule, and the fluorescence of its ultraviolet emission peak gradually increases (λ). em =420nm); while the emission peak originally located at 507nm gradually weakens. When irradiated with 535nm green light, its fluorescence spectrum can be restored to the initial state. The above experimental results show that AzoPJ has good optical switching performance and optically controlled fluorescence characteristics.
[0085] Example 1: Synthesis of nano-antibacterial agents (i.e., nano-antibacterial agents)
[0086] The synthesis route in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 The process, as shown, includes: self-assembling a surfactant with an antibacterial agent (drug molecule) and AzoPJ (fluorescent azo photoswitch) to obtain a nano-antibacterial agent loaded with drug molecules and AzoPJ, named AzoPJ-PEPA NPs. The specific synthesis steps include:
[0087] Azo fluorescent photoswitcher AzoPJ and fluorophenyl ether amide (analytical grade, drug molecule) were dissolved separately in THF and sonicated for 5 minutes each. The two were then mixed and sonicated for 30 minutes to form a uniform orange solution. Subsequently, the mixed solution was added to 9 mL of DSPE-mPEG5000 aqueous solution, and THF was removed by nitrogen gas flow. After centrifugation in an ultrafiltration tube, the volume was adjusted to obtain the nano-antibacterial agent AzoPJ-PEPA NPs.
[0088] Performance tests were conducted on the nano-antibacterial agent AzoPJ-PEPA NPs. Specifically, the transmission electron microscopy images and particle size distribution of the nano-antibacterial agent AzoPJ-PEPA NPs before and after visible light irradiation are shown below. Figure 3 As shown, in which, Figure 3 In this image, A represents the TEM image of the nano-antibacterial agent before and after 440nm light irradiation; Figure 3 In the diagram, B represents the particle size distribution of the nano-antibacterial agent before irradiation with 440nm light; Figure 3In the diagram, C represents the particle size distribution of the nano-antibacterial agent after irradiation with 440nm light.
[0089] from Figure 3 As can be seen, the size of the nanoparticles increased significantly after irradiation with 440 nm light; DLS results showed that the average particle size increased from 136 nm to 230 nm. This is mainly attributed to the isomerization of the azo switch component in the nano-formulation under 440 nm light irradiation, which led to the increase in the cavity size of the nanoparticles.
[0090] The absorption spectrum of the nano-antibacterial agent (AzoPJ-PEPA NPs) in this embodiment after irradiation with visible light at 440 nm is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. From Figure 4 As can be seen, before illumination, a low characteristic absorption peak of the drug was observed at 260 nm; after irradiation with 440 nm light, the peak value gradually increased. This result indicates that the fungicide is slowly released under 440 nm light irradiation. Furthermore, from... Figure 5 It is known that this nano-formulation can also achieve controlled release of bactericides under natural light irradiation.
[0091] The fluorescence-guided drug release microscopic imaging results of the nano-antibacterial agent (AzoPJ-PEPA NPs) in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 6 As shown. From Figure 6 As can be seen, after Rhizobium thuringiensis was incubated with the nano-antibacterial agent AzoPJ-PEPA NPs for 48 hours, under 405nm light excitation, by collecting fluorescence signals in the 460nm-580nm range, bright green fluorescence of Rhizobium thuringiensis cells could be observed, and complete hyphal structures could be observed. After co-incubation for 48 hours, it was further irradiated with 440nm visible light, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, a decrease in fluorescence signal, hyphal deformation, and hyphal rupture can be observed. This result indicates that the controlled release process of this nano-formulation can be visualized and monitored using fluorescence imaging technology.
[0092] The above results demonstrate that the azo fluorescent compound provided by this invention possesses photo-switching properties and can serve as a novel azo fluorescent photo-switching device. Furthermore, nano-formulations using the azo fluorescent compound of this invention as a photocontrol component can not only achieve photocontrolled drug release, but the controlled release process can also be visualized and detected using fluorescence imaging technology.
[0093] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
