Near-Infrared Fluorescence of Silicon Phthalocyanine Carboxylate Esters.

ABSTRACT: Seven silicon(IV) phthalocyanine carboxylate esters (SiPcs, 1-7) with non-, partially- and per-fluorinated aliphatic (linear or branched at the alpha-carbon) and aromatic ester groups have been synthesized, their solid-state structures determined and their optoelectronic properties characterized. The SiPcs exhibit quasi-reversible oxidation waves (vs. Fc+/Fc) at 0.58-0.75?V and reduction waves at -0.97 to -1.16?V centered on the phthalocyanine ring with a narrow redox gap range of 1.70-1.75?V. Strong absorbance in the near-infrared (NIR) region is observed for 1-7 with the lowest-energy absorption maximum (Q band) varying little as a function of ester between 682 and 691?nm. SiPcs 1-7 fluorescence in the near-infrared with emission maxima at 691-700?nm. The photoluminescence quantum yields range from 40 to 52%. As a function of esterification, the SiPcs 1-7 exhibit moderate-to-good solubility in chlorinated solvents, such as 1,2-dichlorobenzene and chloroform.

Phthalocyanine dimerization-based molecular beacons using near-IR fluorescence.

Project description:Herein we demonstrate the use of a novel dimerization-based molecular beacon (MB) probe consisting of two metallo-phthalocyanine (Pc) fluorophores that use near-IR fluorescence, appropriate for highly specific and sensitive in vivo and/or in vitro DNA/RNA detection. Pc's possess a propensity to form nonfluorescent H-dimers that is utilized as the molecular "off" switch in the closed MB conformation. The "on" switch, which is generated when the solution target binds to the loop of the MB forming the open form, also provides two fluorophores for transduction resulting in a doubling of the extinction coefficient and improving the resulting fluorescence yield compared to a classical single-fluorophore/quencher MB system. In addition, the Pc-based MBs possess high thermal, photo, and chemical stabilities that are essential for many highly sensitive applications, such as molecular imaging. The dimer-based MBs were obtained using a simple single-step synthesis procedure and demonstrated excellent quenching efficiencies (98%) as well as a high signal-to-background ratio (approximately 60) exceeding the performance characteristics of many conventionally available MB probes.

Defining the conditional basis of silicon phthalocyanine near-IR ligand exchange.

Project description:Bond cleavage reactions initiated by long-wavelength light are needed to extend the scope of the caged-uncaged paradigm into complex physiological settings. Axially unsymmetrical silicon phthalocyanines (SiPcs) undergo efficient release of phenol ligands in a reaction contingent on three factors - near-IR light (690 nm), hypoxia, and a thiol reductant. These studies detail efforts to define the mechanistic basis for this unique conditionally-dependent bond cleavage reaction. Spectroscopic studies provide evidence for the formation of a key phthalocyanine radical anion intermediate formed from the triplet state in a reductant-dependent manner. Computational chemistry studies indicate that phenol ligand solvolysis proceeds through a heptacoordinate silicon transition state and that this solvolytic process is favored following SiPc radical anion formation. These results provide insight regarding the central role that radical anion intermediates formed through photoinduced electron transfer with biological reductants can play in long-wavelength uncaging reactions.

Silicon/2D-material photodetectors: from near-infrared to mid-infrared.

Project description:Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have been used widely in constructing photodetectors (PDs) because of their advantages in flexible integration and ultrabroad operation wavelength range. Specifically, 2DM PDs on silicon have attracted much attention because silicon microelectronics and silicon photonics have been developed successfully for many applications. 2DM PDs meet the imperious demand of silicon photonics on low-cost, high-performance, and broadband photodetection. In this work, a review is given for the recent progresses of Si/2DM PDs working in the wavelength band from near-infrared to mid-infrared, which are attractive for many applications. The operation mechanisms and the device configurations are summarized in the first part. The waveguide-integrated PDs and the surface-illuminated PDs are then reviewed in details, respectively. The discussion and outlook for 2DM PDs on silicon are finally given.

Photoinduced Ligand Release from a Silicon Phthalocyanine Dye Conjugated with Monoclonal Antibodies: A Mechanism of Cancer Cell Cytotoxicity after Near-Infrared Photoimmunotherapy.

Project description:Photochemical reactions can dramatically alter physical characteristics of reacted molecules. In this study, we demonstrate that near-infrared (NIR) light induces an axial ligand-releasing reaction, which dramatically alters hydrophilicity of a silicon phthalocyanine derivative (IR700) dye leading to a change in the shape of the conjugate and its propensity to aggregate in aqueous solution. This photochemical reaction is proposed as a major mechanism of cell death induced by NIR photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT), which was recently developed as a molecularly targeted cancer therapy. Once the antibody-IR700 conjugate is bound to its target, activation by NIR light causes physical changes in the shape of antibody antigen complexes that are thought to induce physical stress within the cellular membrane leading to increases in transmembrane water flow that eventually lead to cell bursting and necrotic cell death.

Near-infrared fluorescence imaging in immunotherapy.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) light possesses many suitable optophysical properties for medical imaging including low autofluorescence, deep tissue penetration, and minimal light scattering, which together allow for high-resolution imaging of biological tissue. NIR imaging has proven to be a noninvasive and effective real-time imaging methodology that provides a high signal-to-background ratio compared to other potential optical imaging modalities. In response to this, the use of NIR imaging has been extensively explored in the field of immunotherapy. To date, NIR fluorescence imaging has successfully offered reliable monitoring of the localization, dynamics, and function of immune responses, which are vital in assessing not only the efficacy but also the safety of treatments to design immunotherapies optimally. This review aims to provide an overview of the current research on NIR imaging of the immune response. We expect that the use of NIR imaging will expand further in response to the recent success in cancer immunotherapy. We will also offer our insights on how this technology will meet rapidly growing expectations in the future.

Near-infrared fluorescence lifetime pH-sensitive probes.

Project description:We report what we believe to be the first near-infrared pH-sensitive fluorescence lifetime molecular probe suitable for biological applications in physiological range. Specifically, we modified a known fluorophore skeleton, hexamethylindotricarbocyanine, with a tertiary amine functionality that was electronically coupled to the fluorophore, to generate a pH-sensitive probe. The pK(a) of the probe depended critically on the location of the amine. Peripheral substitution at the 5-position of the indole ring resulted in a compound with pK(a) ? 4.9 as determined by emission spectroscopy. In contrast, substitution at the meso-position shifted the pK(a) to 5.5. The resulting compound, LS482, demonstrated steady-state and fluorescence-lifetime pH-sensitivity. This sensitivity stemmed from distinct lifetimes for protonated (?1.16 ns in acidic DMSO) and deprotonated (?1.4 ns in basic DMSO) components. The suitability of the fluorescent dyes for biological applications was demonstrated with a fluorescence-lifetime tomography system. The ability to interrogate cellular processes and subsequently translate the findings in living organisms further augments the potential of these lifetime-based pH probes.

Near-Infrared Fluorescence Lymphatic Imaging in Lymphangiomatosis.

Project description:BackgroundLymphangiomatosis is a rare disorder of the lymphatic system that can impact the dermis, soft tissue, bone, and viscera and can be characterized by lymphangiomas, swelling, and chylous discharge. Whether disordered lymphangiogenesis in lymphangiomatosis affects the function and anatomy of the entire systemic lymphatic circulation or is localized to specific sites is not fully known.Methods and resultsA 35-year-old Caucasian female diagnosed with whole-body lymphangiomatosis at 2 months of age and who continues to present with progressive disease was imaged with near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging. While the peripheral lymphatics in the extremities appeared largely normal compared to prior studies, we observed tortuous lymphatic vessels, fluorescence drainage from the peripheral lymphatics into lymphangiomas, and extensive dermal lymphatics in the left thigh and inguinal regions where the subject had previously had surgical assaults, potentially indicating defective systemic lymphangiogenesis.ConclusionsFurther research into anatomical and functional lymphatic changes associated with the progression and treatment of lymphangiomatosis could aid in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease as well as point to treatment strategies.

Cobalt Phthalocyanine-Sensitized Graphene-ZnO Composite: An Efficient Near-Infrared-Active Photothermal Agent.

Project description:Herein, a promising near-infrared-responsive photothermal agent was designed by anchoring of rice grain-shaped ZnO particles over graphene (GR) nanosheets and subsequent sensitization with cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc). Thus, produced GR-ZnO-CoPc was able to attain the temperature of 68 °C by irradiating to 980 nm laser for 7 min, which is extremely higher than the endurance temperature of cancer cells. The linear fashioned progression in the photothermal effect of GR nanosheets was conquered by immobilization of ZnO particles and successive sensitization with CoPc. The excellence found in the photothermal effect of GR-ZnO-CoPc was verified by estimation of its photothermal conversion efficiency. The photothermal conversion efficiency assessed for GR-ZnO-CoPc was higher than those for the popular gold- and CuS-based photothermal agents. In addition, it possessed significant stability against photobleaching and structural rupture. It was found that the photothermal effect of GR-ZnO-CoPc is proportional to its concentration. However, by replacement of a 980 nm laser system with 808 nm, the photothermal effect of GR-ZnO-CoPc was reduced, which could be due to lower absorption of GR-ZnO-CoPc at 808 nm compared to 980 nm. On account of its significance and important properties, GR-ZnO-CoPc could be an interesting photothermal agent to employ in future photothermal therapy for cancer.

Visible and near infrared fluorescence spectral flow cytometry.

Project description:There is a long standing interest in measuring complete emission spectra from individual cells in flow cytometry. We have developed flow cytometry instruments and analysis approaches to enable this to be done routinely and robustly. Our spectral flow cytometers use a holographic grating to disperse light from single cells onto a CCD for high speed, wavelength-resolved detection. Customized software allows the single cell spectral data to be displayed and analyzed to produce new spectra-derived parameters. We show that familiar reference and calibration beads can be employed to quantitatively assess instrument performance. We use microspheres stained with six different quantum dots to compare a virtual bandpass filter approach with classic least squares (CLS) spectral unmixing, and then use antibody capture beads and CLS unmixing to demonstrate immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using spectral flow cytometry. Finally, we characterize and evaluate several near infrared (NIR) emitting fluorophores for use in spectral flow cytometry. Spectral flow cytometry offers a number of attractive features for single cell analysis, including a simplified optical path, high spectral resolution, and streamlined approaches to quantitative multiparameter measurements. The availability of robust instrumentation, software, and analysis approaches will facilitate the development of spectral flow cytometry applications.

Lymphatic imaging in humans with near-infrared fluorescence.

Project description:While the lymphatic system is increasingly associated with diseases of prevalence, study of these diseases is difficult owing to the paucity of imaging techniques with the sensitivity and temporal resolution to discriminate lymphatic function. Herein, we review the known, pertinent features of the human lymphatic system in health and disease and set the context for a number of emerging studies that use near-infrared fluorescence imaging to non-invasively assess tumor draining lymphatic basins in cancer patients, intraoperatively guide resection of first draining lymph nodes, and to interrogate the difference between normal and aberrant lymphatic structure and function.
