Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, specifically relating to the synthesis method of carbazole (triphenylamine)-Tröger's base (TB)-(thiophene)-pyridinium derivatives and their application in the field of photodynamic antibacterial / antitumor. Background Technology
[0002] Carbazole possesses excellent hole transport capabilities, a wide band gap, multiple modifiable sites, and good thermal and photochemical stability. Its large steric hindrance and twisted molecular configuration allow for effective separation of its HOMO and LUMO, thereby reducing ΔE. ST Therefore, carbazole and its derivatives are among the most widely used electron donors in photosensitizer design.
[0003] The central nitrogen atom in triphenylamine gives it a large electron-donating ability, while its large Stokes shift and high fluorescence quantum yield make it more widely used than carbazole in photosensitizer design. More importantly, triphenylamine is a flexible, propeller-shaped molecule that readily exhibits AIE (Alternating Electron Induction) properties. This allows compounds containing the triphenylamine group to be widely used in fluorescent materials, bioimaging, optoelectronics, drug delivery, and therapeutic diagnostics.
[0004] Thiophene is an aromatic ring containing a sulfur atom. The sulfur atom has two pairs of n electrons outside the nucleus and a large atomic radius, making it easy to polarize. Introducing a thiophene group into an organic molecule can increase the length of the conjugated system and increase the electron cloud density of the system, thereby improving the ISC efficiency and ROS generation capacity of the entire molecule and further enhancing its aPDT activity.
[0005] Tröger's base (TB) possesses a V-shaped, non-planar, rigid structure, which avoids intermolecular π-π stacking; it has eight π electrons and two lone pairs of electrons, making it an excellent electron donor. Theoretical calculations show that the TB framework has multiple triplet levels (T1) with energies close to the singlet level (S1). n The potential for intersystem crossing is high, leading to a high probability of ROS generation. Therefore, theoretically, TB possesses both aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties and high ROS generation efficiency, making it an advantageous framework for designing and synthesizing highly efficient aPDT photosensitizers. However, to date, there are no reports of AIE-based photosensitizers using TB as the framework.
[0006] Therefore, this invention synthesized two products using carbazole or triphenylamine as electron donors, TB backbone as electron donor and bridging group, and pyridinium as electron acceptor, respectively. To investigate the effect of thiophene on aPDT activity, a thiophene was introduced between TB and pyridinium, synthesizing two carbazole / triphenylamine-TB-(thiophene)-pyridinium compounds. The optical properties, AIE properties, and ROS generation capacity of all products were determined. Their aPDT activity against Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms was detected under low-energy white light irradiation. By examining the effects of photosensitizers on bacteria before and after aPDT, such as changes in bacterial surface zeta potential, bacterial morphology (SEM), and intrabacterial ROS levels (CLSM), and combining the LogP of the photosensitizers, the aPDT mechanism of the products was explored. Preliminary tests were conducted on their photodynamic antitumor activity against A549, MCF-7, and HepG2. Summary of the Invention

Example 2: Viscosity response of the product of the present invention Abnormal cells often have a higher viscosity than normal cells. The high viscosity within these cells restricts the movement of chemical bonds, making it easier for molecules to aggregate.
[0060] Take 0.1 mL of a concentration of The working solution was diluted to 10 mL with glycerol:water solutions in ratios of 1:9 and 9:1, respectively, and its fluorescence emission spectrum was measured. Figure 1-4 ).
[0061] As shown in the figure, the RFI of TB-CB-1 and TB-TPA-1 peaked at glycerol contents of 70% and 80%, respectively, representing increases of 50.1-fold and 4.7-fold, both exhibiting viscosity responsiveness. The relative fluorescence intensity (RFI) of TB-CB-2 and TB-TPA-2 peaked at glycerol contents of 60% and 70%, respectively, both also exhibiting viscosity responsiveness.
[0062] Example 3: In vitro photodynamic antibacterial activity of the product of the present invention The aPDT activities of TB-CB-1, TB-TPA-1, and TB-TPA-2 against five bacteria were tested using the plate colony counting method (see table below). Figure 5-7 ).

[0069] From Table 2-4 and Figure 5 - 7 shows that: 1. TB-CB-1 and TB-TPA-1 at 2 µmol·L -1 Both exhibited inhibition rates exceeding 90% against Staphylococcus aureus. Compared to RB, although its ROS production was higher, its aPDT activity was slightly reduced. TB-TPA-1 and TB-CB-1 at 4 µmol·L⁻¹ -1 or 2µmol·L -1 The inhibition rates against MRSA were 96.4% and 95.8%, respectively, indicating high aPDT activity. Under light irradiation, TB-CB-1, TB-TPA-1, and TB-TPA-2 all showed good inhibition rates at a concentration of 2 µmol·L⁻¹. -1 The four compounds showed an inhibition rate of over 99% against Bacillus subtilis. They also showed no aPDT activity against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
[0070] 2. The concentration of TB-CB-2 reached 16 µmol·L⁻¹. -1 No aPDT activity was found in any of the five bacteria, which is inconsistent with the ROS assay results. Further investigation is needed to determine the specific reasons.
[0071] 3. Although TB-CB-2 and TB-TPA-2 have higher ROS production than TB-CB-1 and TB-TPA-1, their aPDT activity is actually lower. This may be because the introduction of electron-rich thiophene disperses some of the positive charge, affecting the binding degree of TB-CB-2 and TB-TPA-2 to the bacterial membrane.
[0072] Example 4: In vitro photodynamic antitumor activity of the product of the present invention Given the excellent ROS generation capacity of the four compounds, their PDT antitumor activity against HepG2, A549 and MCF-7 cells was tested (see Table 6).

[0074] Table 6 shows that TB-TPA-1 has an IC50 value for MCF-7 cells. 50 The value was 1.36 μg·mL -1 For HepG2 cells, the concentration was 0.35 μg / mL. -1 However, it also has strong dark toxicity to these two types of tumor cells.
[0075] TB-CB-1 IC50 of these two tumor cell types under dark conditions 50 The values were all greater than 100, indicating very low dark toxicity, which decreased to 1.53 μg·mL under light conditions. -1 and 0.28 μg·mL -1 TB-TPA-2 effect on IC50 of A549 cells under dark conditions 50 Greater than 200 μg·mL -1 The light intensity decreased to 2.01 μg·mL -1 Both are excellent PDT antitumor photosensitizers and have great value for further research.
