Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photosensitizer technology, specifically to a thionaphthalene imide-based organic antibacterial photosensitizer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Photodynamic sterilization is a novel non-thermal sterilization technology. Its principle is as follows: under irradiation with excitation light of a specific wavelength, a photosensitizer (PS) absorbs photon energy and is excited to a triplet state. This excitation then generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as singlet oxygen and superoxide anions, through type I or type II reactions. These ROS cause oxidative damage to biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids within pathogens, disrupting their structural or functional integrity, thereby leading to the death of the pathogenic microorganisms. Because this mechanism has multiple targets and is less likely to induce bacterial resistance, this technology is considered a promising alternative strategy to address the antibiotic resistance crisis.
[0003] Despite the significant advantages of photodynamic antibacterial technology, its practical application effectiveness is highly dependent on the performance of the photosensitizer itself. Currently, while common photosensitizers (such as porphyrins and phenothiazines) exhibit good photodynamic bactericidal activity, their bactericidal efficiency still falls short of the requirements for highly effective treatment of drug-resistant bacteria. Furthermore, many photosensitizers, while exerting their bactericidal effects, inevitably exhibit varying degrees of toxicity to normal mammalian cells, significantly limiting the application of this technology in clinical anti-infection treatment. Therefore, developing novel photosensitizers that combine highly efficient reactive oxygen species generation with good biocompatibility has become an important and urgent task in this field.

[0062] Test Example 1 The synthesized compounds were tested for antibacterial activity in accordance with the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Test strains included methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, ATCC43300) and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VISA, XN108).
[0063] The experimental procedure is as follows: Adjust the concentration of the bacterial suspension to 1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 CFU / mL; the test compound was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare a stock solution. The stock solution was serially diluted with culture medium using a two-fold dilution method, and an equal volume of bacterial suspension was added to each well. The 96-well plate was divided into two treatment groups: the "Light" group was irradiated with a 510 nm wavelength light source for 30 minutes after bacterial addition; the "Dark" group was kept in the dark throughout the treatment. After treatment, all wells were incubated at 37°C for 16–20 hours. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was defined as the lowest concentration of compound that completely inhibited bacterial growth as observed visually, and was verified by measuring the absorbance at 600 nm using a microplate reader (Dark: no light; Light: light). The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0064] Table 1. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the compounds
[0065] As shown in Table 1, under light conditions, the thionaphthalene imide-based organic antibacterial photosensitizers provided in this invention exhibit excellent inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VISA), with their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) significantly superior to those under dark conditions and those against the positive control drug vancomycin. This fully demonstrates the highly efficient photodynamic antibacterial properties of this class of compounds and confirms their promising application prospects in the development of novel photodynamic antibacterial drugs.
[0066] Test Example 2 Taking the thionaphthalene imide photosensitizer K9 synthesized in this invention as an example, the photophysical properties of K9 and its oxygen carbonyl precursor (unsulfurized) were characterized. Figure 1 As shown, compared with the oxygen carbonyl precursor, K9 exhibits a redshift of approximately 70-80 nm in its UV-Vis maximum absorption peak, accompanied by significant fluorescence quenching. These spectral characteristics are consistent with the effect of sulfur atom introduction promoting intersystem crossing, confirming the typical structural features of K9 as a thiophotosensitive agent.
[0067] Test Example 3 Characterization of the in vitro ROS generation capacity of the thionaphthalene imide organic photosensitizer K9.
[0068] The quantum yield of singlet oxygen (¹O₂) was determined using the DPBF probe method. Figure 2 As shown, the ¹O2 quantum yield of K9 is about three times that of the commercially available standard Rose Bengal (RB), indicating that it has excellent type II photodynamic activity.
[0069] To investigate its photodynamic properties under hypoxic conditions, we examined the reactive oxygen species generated during the type I photodynamic process of compound K9. For example... Figure 3 As shown in figure a, the hydroxyl radical (•OH) signal of K9 was qualitatively detected using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology; and the presence of superoxide anion radical (O2) in compound K9 was confirmed using the DHR123 fluorescent probe method. •- The ability to generate () Figure 3 b). The above results demonstrate that K9 possesses the ability to generate type I reactive oxygen species.
[0070] In addition, under bacterial conditions, the overall ROS generation capacity of K9 was detected using the clinically commonly used reactive oxygen species indicator DCFH-DA. Under green light irradiation, the fluorescence emission intensity of the K9 / DCFH-DA mixture at 525 nm was significantly higher than that of the unilluminated group and the control group. Figure 4 This fully demonstrates that K9 can effectively generate reactive oxygen species inside bacteria.
[0071] In summary, the thionaphthalene imide photosensitizer K9 exhibits both efficient generation of type I and type II reactive oxygen species, demonstrating excellent ROS generation performance.
[0072] Test Example 4 To optimize the antibacterial application conditions of photosensitizer K9, we systematically investigated the effects of three key factors—photosensitizer concentration, pre-incubation time, and light exposure time—on its bactericidal efficacy.
[0073] MRSA bacterial suspensions were co-incubated with different final concentrations of K9 for 30 min, then exposed to green light for 30 min, followed by plate counting. Results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the sterilization rate increased significantly with increasing K9 concentration; at a concentration of 0.025 μg / mL, the sterilization rate reached over 80%. Subsequent experiments selected 0.025 μg / mL as the baseline concentration for optimizing other parameters.
[0074] At a K9 concentration of 0.025 μg / mL, the bacterial culture was pre-incubated with a photosensitizer for different times (0, 5, 10, 30, 60 min), followed by a fixed duration of light exposure (30 min). The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the bactericidal rate significantly increased with prolonged pre-incubation time. Within 30 minutes, K9 could essentially complete its entry into cells or bind to bacterial targets, thus exhibiting good antibacterial activity.
[0075] Under the selected K9 concentration of 0.025 μg / mL and a pre-incubation period of 30 minutes, the samples were exposed to light for different durations (0, 5, 10, 30, 60 min). The results are as follows: Figure 7As shown, the sterilization rate increases with the extension of light exposure time, reaching its maximum value in 30 minutes.
[0076] The above results indicate that the antibacterial efficacy of K9 is positively correlated with photosensitizer concentration and light exposure time within the investigated range. Considering both bactericidal efficiency and ease of clinical application, the preferred antibacterial conditions are: K9 pre-incubated with bacterial solution for 30 minutes, followed by green light irradiation for 30 minutes.
[0077] Test Example 5 To assess the blood compatibility of the photosensitizer K9, we performed an in vitro hemolysis experiment. Different concentrations of K9 were co-incubated with red blood cell suspensions for 1 hour, followed by centrifugation and observation of the supernatant. Figure 8 As shown in Figure a, the supernatant of all tested concentration groups was colorless and transparent, and a dense red blood cell precipitate formed at the bottom of the test tubes, indicating that hemolysis did not occur. The absorbance of the supernatant at 540 nm was quantitatively measured using an ELISA reader, and the hemolysis rate was calculated. The results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in b, even at concentrations as high as 64 μg / mL, the hemolysis rate of K9 remained below the 5% biosafety threshold. This result indicates that K9 poses no risk of hemolysis within the tested concentration range and exhibits good blood compatibility.
[0078] Test Example 6 The toxicity of photosensitizer K9 to mammalian L929 cells was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. L929 cells were cultured at 1 × 10⁶ cells per well. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells / well in 96-well plates. After cell attachment, the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing different concentrations of K9. The plates were divided into light and dark groups: the light group was exposed to green light for 30 minutes, while the dark group was kept in the dark throughout the process. After co-incubation for 24 hours, the culture medium was discarded, and CCK-8 solution was added and reacted for 30 minutes. The absorbance at 450 nm was then measured using a microplate reader. Cell viability was calculated by comparing the absorbance values of the experimental group and the control group. Figure 9 As shown, at concentrations as high as 64 μg / mL, the survival rate of L929 cells in both the light and dark groups was higher than 85%. This result indicates that within the specified concentration range, K9 exhibits no significant phototoxicity or dark toxicity to normal mammalian cells, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility.
