A
porphyrin compound for bioimaging and
sonodynamic therapy, as well as its preparation method and application, has a
chemical formula shown in Formula 2. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding p-methylthiobenzaldehyde, a compound of Formula 1, and
pyrrole to a reaction flask, evacuating the flask and introducing
nitrogen gas, followed by adding
anhydrous dichloromethane to obtain a reaction solution; bubbling
nitrogen gas through the reaction solution, stirring at 25°C, adding
boron trifluoride etherate, maintaining the temperature while continuing to stir, adding DDQ, continuing stirring, adding
triethylamine, filtering, concentrating, and purifying to obtain the target product. This method features mild
reaction conditions, a short reaction time, and simple operation. The resulting
porphyrin compound exhibits excellent sonosensitivity and
biocompatibility, can efficiently generate
reactive oxygen species under
ultrasound, and can produce excellent sonodynamic effects. The compound also exhibits
fluorescence emission in the near-
infrared region and can be excited by visible light, enabling
confocal imaging to detect changes in
cell morphology before and after, resulting in excellent bioimaging results. #imgabs0#
