Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis technology, specifically to a phospholipid-polyethylene glycol modified monoiodide aza-BODIPY photosensitizer, its synthesis method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive technique that has emerged in the last 30 years, utilizing the photodynamic effect for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. PDT offers advantages such as high precision, non-invasiveness, controllability, low toxicity, repeatability, and low likelihood of drug resistance, and has therefore been used clinically to treat some tumors and skin diseases. Photosensitizers are one of the key elements for exerting the photodynamic killing effect. Aza-BODIPY is a class of BODIPY dyes in which the carbon atom at the meso position is replaced by a nitrogen atom. These BODIPY dyes possess high molar absorptivity, desirable stability, and near-infrared absorption wavelengths. Therefore, aza-BODIPY is a more suitable molecular framework for modification into photosensitizers.
[0003] Studies show that introducing heavy atoms into aza-BODIPY effectively increases the singlet oxygen yield, thereby improving photodynamic therapy efficacy. Furthermore, introducing an iodine atom at position 6 of aza-BODIPY results in a high singlet oxygen yield (Φ... Δ =0.52, DMF) and a stable photosensitizer (photosensitizer 13), the structural formulas of which are shown below:
[0004]
[0005] However, the application of aza-BODIPY photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy remains highly limited due to the lack of relatively effective targeting strategies. Furthermore, untargeted photosensitizers may lead to poor photodynamic efficacy and safety issues. Therefore, improving the effective accumulation of aza-BODIPY photosensitizers at the disease site through targeted modification is particularly important. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the technical limitation of aza-BODIPY photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy due to their lack of targeted modification, this invention provides a phospholipid-polyethylene glycol-modified monoiodine aza-BODIPY photosensitizer, its synthesis method, and its applications. The phospholipid-polyethylene glycol-modified monoiodine aza-BODIPY photosensitizer provided by this invention has been used in anti-tumor photodynamic research.

[0098] HeLa cells were cultured in DMEM medium for 24 hours, then incubated with DMEM medium containing photosensitizer 12 at 37°C for 6 hours. The original medium was discarded, and the cells were washed three times with PBS. Medium containing the cell membrane localization dye CFTM350 WGA (500 nM) was then added, and incubation continued for 15 minutes. Finally, the medium was discarded, and fresh medium was added. The distribution of the cell membrane localization dye and photosensitizer at the cell sites was observed using laser confocal microscopy. Results are as follows: Figure 1As shown, the photosensitizer 12 synthesized in this invention exhibits good cell membrane localization ability. Therefore, the phospholipid-polyethylene glycol modified monoiodine aza-BODIPY photosensitizer involved in this invention can be prepared into a novel membrane-targeted photodynamic therapy drug.
