A two-in-one Janus NIR-II AIEgen with balanced absorption and emission for image-guided precision surgery.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) region opens up new avenues for biological systems due to suppressed scattering and low autofluorescence at longer-wavelength photons. Nonetheless, the development of organic NIR-II fluorophores is still limited mainly due to the shortage of efficient molecular design strategy. Herein, we propose an approach of designing Janus NIR-II fluorophores by introducing electronic donors with distinct properties into one molecule. As a proof-of-concept, fluorescent dye 2 TT-m, oC6B with both twisted and planar electronic donors displayed balanced absorption and emission which were absent in its parent compound. The key design strategy for Janus molecule is that it combines the merits of intense absorption from planar architecture and high fluorescence quantum yield from twisted motif. The resulting 2 TT-m, oC6B nanoparticles exhibit a high molar absorptivity of 1.12 ⨯10⁴ M^-1 cm^-1 at 808 nm and a NIR-II quantum yield of 3.7%, displaying a typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attribute. The highly bright and stable 2 TT-m, oC6B nanoparticles assured NIR-II image-guided cancer surgery to resect submillimeter tumor nodules. The present study may inspire further development of molecular design philosophy for highly bright NIR-II fluorophores for biomedical applications.

A pH reversibly activatable NIR photothermal/photodynamic-in-one agent integrated with renewable nanoimplants for image-guided precision phototherapy.

Project description:Phototherapy has great potential to revolutionize conventional therapeutic modalities. However, most phototherapeutic strategies based on multicomponent therapeutic agents generally lack tumor-specificity, resulting in asynchronous therapy and superimposed side-effects. Severe heat damage is also inevitable because of the necessity of continuous external irradiation. Here we show the design of an acid-activated and continuous external irradiation-free photothermal and photodynamic (PTT/PDT) synchronous theranostic nanoplatform for precision tumor-targeting near-infrared (NIR) image-guided therapy. pH-reversibly responsive brominated asymmetric cyanine is designed as the tumor-specific NIR PTT/PDT-in-one agent to enhance anticancer efficiency and reduce side-effects. Ultra-small NIR persistent luminescence nanoparticles are prepared as both the imaging unit and renewable nanoimplant. Biotin functionalized polyethylene glycol is introduced to endow active tumor-targeting ability and prolong blood-circulation. The developed smart platform offers merits of reversible activation, PTT/PDT synergetic enhancement, tumor targetability and continuous external irradiation-free properties, allowing autofluorescence-free image-guided phototherapy only in tumor sites. This work paves the way to developing smart theranostic nanoplatforms for precision medicine.

Dual-modal imaging-guided agent based on NIR-II aggregation-induced emission luminogens with balanced phototheranostic performance.

Project description:Phototherapy has garnered considerable interest for its potential to revolutionize conventional cancer treatment. Organic materials with near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence and photothermal effects are key for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment, yet optimizing their output for higher resolution and reduced photodamage remains a challenge. Herein, a multifunctional NIR-II photosensitizer (LSC) has been developed using the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) technology. The utilization of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene as an electron-rich and bulky donor/acceptor bridge has allowed for the elongation of conjugation length and distortion of the AIE main chain. This strategic modification effectively enhances the electron push-pull effect, endowing the LSC with a Stokes shift of over 400 nm and AIE characteristics. We have successfully built-up stable nanoparticles called FA-LSC NPs using a nano-precipitation method. These nanoparticles exhibit high NIR-II fluorescent brightness (ε × QY = 1064 M-1 cm-1) and photothermal conversion efficiency (41%). Furthermore, the biocompatible FA-LSC NPs demonstrate effective tumor accumulation and exceptional photothermal therapeutic efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. These nanoparticles were applied to fluorescence-photothermal dual-mode imaging-guided photothermal ablation in a HeLa tumor xenograft mouse model, resulting in favorable photothermal clearance outcomes.

Novel bright-emission small-molecule NIR-II fluorophores for <i>in vivo</i> tumor imaging and image-guided surgery.

Project description:Though high brightness and biocompatible small NIR-II dyes are highly desirable in clinical or translational cancer research, their fluorescent cores are relatively limited and their synthetic processes are somewhat complicated. Herein, we have explored the design and synthesis of novel NIR-II fluorescent materials (H1) without tedious chromatographic isolation with improved fluorescence performance (QY ≈ 2%) by introducing 2-amino 9,9-dialkyl-substituted fluorene as a donor into the backbone. Several types of water-soluble and biocompatible NIR-II probes: SXH, SDH, and H1 NPs were constructed via different chemical strategies based on H1, and then their potential to be used in in vivo tumor imaging and image-guided surgery in the NIR-II region was explored. High levels of uptake were obtained for both passive and active tumor targeting probes SXH and SDH. Furthermore, high resolution imaging of blood vessels on tumors and the whole body of living mice using H1 NPs for the first time has demonstrated precise NIR-II image-guided sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery.

Kinetically and thermodynamically controlled one-pot growth of gold nanoshells with NIR-II absorption for multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy.

Project description:Since the successful clinical trial of AuroShell for photothermal therapy, there is currently intense interest in developing gold-based core-shell structures with near-infrared (NIR) absorption ranging from NIR-I (650-900 nm) to NIR-II (900-1700 nm). Here, we propose a seed-mediated successive growth approach to produce gold nanoshells on the surface of the nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF) of UiO-66-NH2 (UiO = the University of Oslo) in one pot. The key to this strategy is to modulate the proportion of the formaldehyde (reductant) and its regulator / oxidative product of formic acid to harness the particle nucleation and growth rate within the same system. The gold nanoshells propagate through a well-oriented and controllable diffusion growth pattern (points → facets → octahedron), which has not been identified. Most strikingly, the gold nanoshells prepared hereby exhibit an exceedingly broad and strong absorption in NIR-II with a peak beyond 1300 nm and outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency of 74.0%. Owing to such superior performance, these gold nanoshells show promising outcomes in photoacoustic (PA), computed tomography (CT), and photothermal imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) for breast cancer, as demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo.

NIR-II emissive AIEgen photosensitizers enable ultrasensitive imaging-guided surgery and phototherapy to fully inhibit orthotopic hepatic tumors.

Project description:Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of primary liver tumors are of great significance, and optical imaging has been widely employed in clinical imaging-guided surgery for liver tumors. The second near-infrared window (NIR-II) emissive AIEgen photosensitizers have attracted a lot of attention with higher-resolution bioimaging and deeper penetration. NIR-II aggregation-induced emission-based luminogen (AIEgen) photosensitizers have better phototherapeutic effects and accuracy of the image-guided surgery/phototherapy. Herein, an NIR-II AIEgen phototheranostic dot was proposed for NIR-II imaging-guided resection surgery and phototherapy for orthotopic hepatic tumors. Compared with indocyanine green (ICG), the AIEgen dots showed bright and sharp NIR-II emission at 1250 nm, which extended to 1600 nm with high photostability. Moreover, the AIEgen dots efficiently generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic therapy. Investigations of orthotopic liver tumors in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that AIEgen dots could be employed both for imaging-guided tumor surgery of early-stage tumors and for 'downstaging' intention to reduce the size. Moreover, the therapeutic strategy induced complete inhibition of orthotopic tumors without recurrence and with few side effects.

Molecular Targeted NIR-II Probe for Image-Guided Brain Tumor Surgery.

Project description:Optical imaging strategies for improving delineation of glioblastoma (GBM) is highly desired for guiding surgeons to distinguish cancerous tissue from healthy and precious brain tissue. Fluorescence imaging (FLI) in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) outperforms traditional NIR-I imaging with better tissue penetration, higher spatial and temporal resolution, and less auto fluorescence and scattering. Because of high expression in GBM and many other tumors, urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) is an attractive and well proven target for FLI. Herein we aim to combine the benefit of a NIR-II fluorophore with a high affinity uPAR targeting small peptide. A targeted NIR-II fluorescent probe was developed by conjugating an in-house synthesized NIR-II fluorophore, CH1055, and a uPAR targeting peptide, AE105. To characterize the in vivo distribution and targeting properties, a dynamic imaging was performed in orthotopic GBM bearing nude mice ( n = 8). Additionally, fluorescence guided surgery of orthotopic GBM was performed in living animals. CH1055-4Glu-AE105 was easily synthesized with >75% yield and >98% HPLC evaluated purity. The retention time of the probe on analytical HPLC was 15.9 min and the product was verified by mass spectrometry. Dynamic imaging demonstrated that the uPAR targeting probe visualized orthotopic GBM through the intact skull with a tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) of 2.7 peaking at 96 h. Further, the orthotopic GBM was successfully resected in small animals guided by the NIR-II FLI. By using a small uPAR targeting NIR-II probe, FLI allows us to specifically image and detect GBM. A real-time imaging setup further renders FLI guided tumor resection, and the probe developed in this work is a promising candidate for clinical translation.

Pancreas-targeted NIR fluorophores for dual-channel image-guided abdominal surgery.

Project description:ObjectivePancreas-related complications are some of the most serious ones in abdominal surgery. The goal of this study was to develop and validate novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores that would enable real-time pancreas imaging to avoid the intraoperative pancreatic injury.DesignAfter initial screening of a large NIR fluorophore library, the performance of 3 selected pancreas-targeted 700 nm NIR fluorophores, T700-H, T700-F, and MB, were quantified in mice, rats, and pigs. Dose ranging using 25 and 100 nmol, and 2.5 µmol of T700-F, and its imaging kinetics over a 4 h period were tested in each species. Three different 800 nm NIR fluorophores were employed for dual-channel FLARE™ imaging in pigs: 2 μmol of ZW800-1 for vessels and kidney, 1 μmol of ZW800-3C for lymph nodes, and 2 μmol of ESNF31 for adrenal glands.ResultsT700-F demonstrated the highest signal to background ratio (SBR), with peak SBR at 4 h postinjection in mice. In pigs, T700-F produced an SBR≥2 against muscle, spleen, and lymph nodes for up to 8 h after a single intravenous injection. The combination of T700-F with each 800 nm NIR fluorophore provided simultaneous dual-channel intraoperative imaging of pancreas with surrounding organs in real time.ConclusionPancreas-targeted NIR fluorophores combined with the FLARE dual-channel imaging system enable the real-time intraoperative pancreas imaging which helps surgeons perform safer and more curative abdominal surgeries.

Magneto-plasmonic nanostars for image-guided and NIR-triggered drug delivery.

Project description:Smart multifunctional nanoparticles with magnetic and plasmonic properties assembled on a single nanoplatform are promising for various biomedical applications. Owing to their expanding imaging and therapeutic capabilities in response to external stimuli, they have been explored for on-demand drug delivery, image-guided drug delivery, and simultaneous diagnostic and therapeutic (i.e. theranostic) applications. In this study, we engineered nanoparticles with unique morphology consisting of a superparamagnetic iron oxide core and star-shaped plasmonic shell with high-aspect-ratio gold branches. Strong magnetic and near-infrared (NIR)-responsive plasmonic properties of the engineered nanostars enabled multimodal quantitative imaging combining advantageous functions of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic particle imaging (MPI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and image-guided drug delivery with a tunable drug release capacity. The model drug molecules bound to the core-shell nanostars were released upon NIR illumination due to the heat generation from the core-shell nanostars. Moreover, our simulation analysis showed that the specific design of the core-shell nanostars demonstrated a pronounced multipolar plasmon resonance, which has not been observed in previous reports. The multimodal imaging and NIR-triggered drug release capabilities of the proposed nanoplatform verify their potential for precise and controllable drug release with different applications in personalized medicine.

A thiopyrylium salt for PET/NIR-II tumor imaging and image-guided surgery.

Project description:All tumor imaging modalities have resolution limits below which deeply situated small metastatic foci may not be identified. Moreover, incomplete lesion excision will affect the outcomes of the patients. Scintigraphy is adept in locating lesions, and second near-infrared window (NIR-II) imaging may allow precise real-time tumor delineation. To achieve complete excision of all lesions, multimodality imaging is a promising method for tumor identification and management. Here, a NIR-II thiopyrylium salt, XB1034, was first synthesized and bound to cetuximab and trans-cyclooctene (TCO) to produce XB1034-cetuximab-TCO. This probe provides excellent sensitivity and high temporal resolution NIR-II imaging in mice bearing tumors developed from human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. To enable PET imaging, 68 Ga-NETA-tetrazine is subsequently injected into the mice to undergo a bio-orthogonal reaction with the preinjected XB1034-cetuximab-TCO. PET images achieved in the tumor models using the pretargeting strategy are of much higher quality than those obtained using the direct radiolabeling method. Moreover, real-time NIR-II imaging allows accurate tumor excision and sentinel lymph node mapping. In conclusion, XB1034 is a promising molecular imaging probe for tumor diagnosis and treatment.
