Naphthalene Endoperoxide Heterodimer Designed for Sustained Singlet Oxygen Release.

ABSTRACT: Naphthalene endoperoxides undergo thermal cycloreversion reactions to produce singlet oxygen and their parent naphthalene compounds. The rate of the reaction is dependent on the structural features, such as steric and electronic modulators. We believe that achieving a sustained release rate of singlet oxygen is important in potential biological applications. This can be achieved by tethering of two endoperoxides with different singlet oxygen release rates in a single molecular construct. Here, we report the synthesis of such a dimeric endoperoxide. Our data shows that with the biexponential reaction kinetics of singlet oxygen generation from a heterodimeric endoperoxide, it is possible to hold singlet oxygen release rates within a selected range for a longer period of time.

Anticoagulant activity of singlet oxygen released from a water soluble endoperoxide by thermal cycloreversion.

Project description:Singlet oxygen generated by photosensitization has limited potential in vivo due to light attenuation in tissues. However, controlled chemical generation of this reactive oxygen species is likely to open new therapeutic spaces to explore. The fact that its activity is limited by the rate of cycloreversion reaction and the diffusion distance of the excited state molecular oxygen species, is a clear advantage, considering the serious side effects of off-target anticoagulants. In this work, we present novel 1,4-naphthalene endoperoxides as potential anti-coagulant agents due to thermal release of singlet oxygen.

Silyl-naphthalene endoperoxides as switchable sources of singlet oxygen for bactericidal activity.

Project description:Singlet oxygen is a short half-life cytotoxic agent which can be generated by chemical and photochemical methods. In order to make use of its antibacterial action at a selected location, it is desirable to have singlet oxygen in a relatively stable, "caged" structure, in the form of an endoperoxide. Here, the trimethylsilyl (TMS) group supplies the steric bulk, inhibiting the cycloreversion reaction to produce very little singlet oxygen under ambient conditions. However, when fluoride ions are added as tetrabutylammonium fluoride, very rapid removal of the TMS group takes place, followed by the unhindered cycloreversion, releasing singlet oxygen much faster. The bactericidal action on surfaces was demonstrated using E. coli, and imaged under fluorescence microscopy. Considering the issues related to emergence of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains, "on demand singlet oxygen" appears to be an exciting alternative.

Fluorine end-capped optical fibers for photosensitizer release and singlet oxygen production.

Project description:The usefulness of a fiber optic technique for generating singlet oxygen and releasing the pheophorbide photosensitizer has been increased by the fluorination of the porous Vycor glass tip. Singlet oxygen emerges through the fiber tip with 669-nm light and oxygen, releasing the sensitizer molecules upon a [2 + 2] addition of singlet oxygen with the ethene spacer and scission of a dioxetane intermediate. Switching from a nonfluorinated to a fluorinated glass tip led to a clear reduction of the adsorbtive affinity of the departing sensitizer with improved release into homogeneous toluene solution and bovine tissue, but no difference was found in water since the sensitizer was insoluble. High surface coverage of the nonafluorohexylsilane enhanced the cleavage efficiency by 15% at the ethene site. The fluorosilane groups also caused crowding and seemed to reduce access of (1)O(2) to the ethene site, which attenuated the total quenching rate constant k(T), although there was less wasted (1)O(2) (from surface physical quenching) at the fluorosilane-coated than the native SiOH silica. The observations support a quenching mechanism that the replacement of the SiOH groups for the fluorosilane C-H and C-F groups enhanced the (1)O(2) lifetime at the fiber tip interface due to less efficient electronic-to-vibronic energy transfer.

Capture and Release of Singlet Oxygen in Coordination-Driven Self-Assembled Organoplatinum(II) Metallacycles.

Project description:Singlet oxygen (1O2), as an important active reagent, has found wide applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT), synthetic chemistry, and materials science. Organic conjugated aromatics serving as hosts to capture and release singlet oxygen have been systematically investigated over the last decades. Herein, we present a [6 + 6] organoplatinum(II) metallacycle by using ∼180° dipyridylanthracene donor and ∼120° Pt(II) acceptor as the building blocks, which enables the capture and release of singlet oxygen with relatively high photooxygenation and thermolysis rate constants. The photooxygenation of the metallacycle to the corresponding endoperoxide was performed by sensitized irradiation, and the resulting endoperoxide is stable at room temperature and can be stored under ambient condition over months. Upon simple heating of the neat endoperoxide under inert atmosphere at 120 °C for 4 h, the resulting endoperoxide can be reconverted to the corresponding parent form and singlet oxygen. The photooxygenation and thermolysis products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis. Density functional theory calculations were conducted in order to reveal the frontier molecular orbital interactions and reactivity. This work provides a new material platform for singlet oxygen related promising applications.

SINGLET OXYGEN RESISTANT 1 links reactive electrophile signaling to singlet oxygen acclimation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Project description:To identify components involved in the signal transduction and activation of the singlet oxygen-mediated response, a mutant selection was performed. This led to the isolation of the singlet oxygen resistant 1 (sor1) mutant, which is more tolerant to singlet oxygen-producing chemicals and shows a constitutively higher expression of GPXH and GSTS1. Map-based cloning revealed that the SOR1 gene encodes a novel bZIP transcription factor, which seems to control its own expression as well as that of a large number of oxidative stress response and detoxification genes. In the promoter region of many of these genes a highly conserved 8-bp palindromic sequence element was found to be enriched. This element was shown to be essential for GSTS1 overexpression in sor1 and for induction by increased levels of lipophilic reactive electrophile species (RES) suggesting that it functions as an electrophile response element (ERE). RES can be formed after singlet oxygen-induced lipid peroxidation, indicating that a RES-stimulated and SOR1-mediated response of detoxification genes is part of the singlet oxygen-induced acclimation process in C. reinhardtii.

Singlet oxygen imaging using fluorescent probe Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green in photosynthetic organisms.

Project description:Formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) was reported to accompany light stress in plants, contributing to cell signaling or oxidative damage. So far, Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG) has been the only commercialized fluorescent probe for 1O2 imaging though it suffers from several limitations (unequal penetration and photosensitization) that need to be carefully considered to avoid misinterpretation of the analysed data. Herein, we present results of a comprehensive study focused on the appropriateness of SOSG for 1O2 imaging in three model photosynthetic organisms, unicellular cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Penetration of SOSG differs in both unicellular organisms; while it is rather convenient for Chlamydomonas it is restricted by the presence of mucoid sheath of Synechocystis, which penetrability might be improved by mild heating. In Arabidopsis, SOSG penetration is limited due to tissue complexity which can be increased by pressure infiltration using a shut syringe. Photosensitization of SOSG and SOSG endoperoxide formed by its interaction with 1O2 might be prevented by illumination of samples by a red light. When measured under controlled conditions given above, SOSG might serve as specific probe for detection of intracellular 1O2 formation in photosynthetic organisms.

Expression data from Arabidopsis thaliana (Ler) rosette leaves after the release of singlet oxygen inside plastids

Project description:We used the flu mutant of Arabidopsis to detail gene expression in response to singlet oxygen. The conditional flu mutant of Arabidopsis accumulates excess protochlorophyllide in the dark within chloroplast membranes that upon illumination acts as a photosensitizer and generates singlet oxygen. Immediately after the release of singlet oxygen mature flu plants stop growing, whereas seedlings bleach and die. Within the first 30 min after the release of singlet oxygen rapid changes in nuclear gene expression occur. Distinct sets of genes were activated that were different from those induced by other reactive oxygen species, superoxide or hydrogen peroxide. Keywords: Time course

Effect of Twisting on the Capture and Release of Singlet Oxygen by Tethered Twisted Acenes.

Project description:The use of polyaromatic hydrocarbons to capture and release singlet oxygen is of considerable importance in materials chemistry, synthesis, and photodynamic therapy. Here we studied the ability of a series of tethered twistacenes, possessing different degrees of backbone twist, to capture and release singlet oxygen via the reversible Diels-Alder reaction. When the twistacene acts as both a sensitizer and a diene, the photo-oxidation rate depends on the extinction coefficient of the irradiation wavelength. However, when the twistacenes function solely as a diene, the rate of photo-oxidation increases with increasing twist. The rate of the reverse reaction, the singlet oxygen release, also increases with increasing twist. The calculated transition state energy decreases with increasing twist, which can explain the observed trend. The presence of the tether significantly increases the reversibility of the reaction, which can proceed in repeated forward and reverse cycles in very high yield under mild conditions, as required for molecular switches.

De Novo Design of Polymeric Carrier to Photothermally Release Singlet Oxygen for Hypoxic Tumor Treatment.

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia extremely limits the clinic applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Endoperoxides allow thermally releasing singlet oxygen (1O2) in a defined quantity and offer promising opportunities for oxygen-independent PDT treatment of hypoxic tumors. However, previous composite systems by combining endoperoxides with photothermal reagents may result in unpredicted side effects and potential harmful impacts during therapy in vivo. Herein, we de novo design an all-in-one polymer carrier, which can photothermally release 1O2. The strategy has been demonstrated to effectively enhance the production of 1O2 and realize the photodamage in vitro, especially in hypoxic environment. Additionally, the polymer carrier accumulates into tumor after intravenous injection via the enhanced permeation and retention effects and accelerates the oxygen-independent generation of 1O2 in tumors. The oxidative damage results in good inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Realization of the strategy in vivo paves a new way to construct photothermal-triggered oxygen-independent therapeutic platform for clinical applications.

Optical modulation of cell nucleus penetration and singlet oxygen release of a switchable platinum complex.

Project description:The activation of anticancer molecules with visible light constitutes an elegant strategy to target tumors and to improve the selectivity of treatments. In this context, we report here a visible-light activatable bis-platinum complex (DHP-Pt2) incorporating an organic photo-switchable ligand based on the dimethyldihydropyrene moiety. Illumination of this metal complex with red light (660 nm) under air readily produces the corresponding endoperoxide form (CPDO2-Pt2). These two metal complexes exhibit different DNA binding properties and, more importantly, we show that only the photogenerated CPDO2-Pt2 is able to penetrate into cancer cell nuclei, where it is then capable of releasing cytotoxic singlet oxygen. This study represents the first proof-of-concept showing that dimethyldihydropyrene derivatives can be used to transport and deliver singlet oxygen into cancer cell nuclei upon visible-light activation.
