Rational Selection of Cyanines to Generate Conjugate Acid and Free Radicals for Photopolymerization upon Exposure at 860 nm.

ABSTRACT: Different cyanines absorbing in the NIR between 750 and 930 nm were applied to study the efficiency of both radical and cationic polymerization in combination with diaryliodonium salt. Variation of the connecting methine chain and structure of the terminal indolium moiety provided a deeper insight in the structure of the cyanine NIR-sensitizer and the efficiency to generate initiating radicals and conjugate acid. Photophysical studies were pursued by fluorescence spectroscopy providing a deeper understanding regarding the lifetime of the excited state and contribution of nonradiative deactivation resulting in generation of additional heat in the polymerization process. Furthermore, electrochemical experiments demonstrated connection to oxidation and reduction capability as influenced by the structural pattern of the sensitizer. LC-MS measurements provided a deeper pattern about the photoproducts formed. A nonamethine-based cyanine showed the best performance regarding bleaching in combination with an iodonium salt at 860 nm.

Photoactivatable platinum anticancer complex can generate tryptophan radicals.

Project description:l-Tryptophan (Trp), melatonin (MLT) and the Trp-peptide pentagastrin quenched the formation of azidyl radicals generated on irradiation of the anticancer complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(pyridine)2(N3)2(OH)2] with visible light, giving rise to C3-centred indole radicals which were characterized for Trp and MLT using an EPR spin-trap; indole, together with azidyl and hydroxyl radicals, have potential roles in a multitargeting mechanism of action against resistant cancers.

Mn(iii)-mediated carbon-centered radicals generate an enhanced immunotherapeutic effect.

Project description:A strategy for designing cancer therapeutic nanovaccines based on immunogenic cell death (ICD)-inducing therapeutic modalities is particularly attractive for optimal therapeutic efficacy. In this work, a highly effective cancer therapeutic nanovaccine (denoted as MPL@ICC) based on immunogenic photodynamic therapy (PDT) was rationally designed and fabricated. MPL@ICC was composed of a nanovehicle of MnO2 modified with a host-guest complex using amino pillar[6]arene and lactose-pyridine, a prodrug of isoniazid (INH), and chlorine e6 (Ce6). The nanovaccine exhibited excellent biosafety, good targeting ability to hepatoma cells and enrichment at tumor sites. Most importantly, it could modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) to facilitate the existence of Mn(iii) and Mn(iii)-mediated carbon-centered radical generation with INH released from the prodrug in situ to further strengthen ICD. This is the first report on Mn(iii)-mediated generation of carbon-centered radicals for successful anti-tumor immunotherapy using ICD, which provides a novel strategy for designing highly efficient cancer therapeutic nanovaccines.

Photoinduced and Thermal Single-Electron Transfer to Generate Radicals from Frustrated Lewis Pairs.

Project description:Archetypal phosphine/borane frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are famed for their ability to activate small molecules. The mechanism is generally believed to involve two-electron processes. However, the detection of radical intermediates indicates that single-electron transfer (SET) generating frustrated radical pairs could also play an important role. These highly reactive radical species typically have significantly higher energy than the FLP, which prompted this investigation into their formation. Herein, we provide evidence that the classical phosphine/borane combinations PMes3 /B(C6 F5 )3 and PtBu3 /B(C6 F5 )3 both form an electron donor-acceptor (charge-transfer) complex that undergoes visible-light-induced SET to form the corresponding highly reactive radical-ion pairs. Subsequently, we show that by tuning the properties of the Lewis acid/base pair, the energy required for SET can be reduced to become thermally accessible.

Motion tracking of 80-nm-size skyrmions upon directional current injections.

Project description:Nanometer-scale skyrmions are prospective candidates for information bits in low-power consumption devices owing to their topological nature and controllability with low current density. Studies on skyrmion dynamics in different classes of materials have exploited the topological Hall effect and current-driven fast motion of skyrmionic bubbles. However, the small current track motion of a single skyrmion and few-skyrmion aggregates remains elusive. Here, we report the tracking of creation and extinction and motion of 80-nm-size skyrmions upon directional one-current pulse excitations at low current density of the order of 109 A m-2 in designed devices with the notched hole. The Hall motion of a single skyrmion and the torque motions of few-skyrmion aggregates have been directly revealed. The results exemplify low-current density controls of skyrmions, which will pave the way for the application of skyrmions.

Dichotomous mechanistic behavior in Narasaka-Heck cyclizations: electron rich Pd-catalysts generate iminyl radicals.

Project description:Pd-catalyzed cyclizations of oxime esters with pendant alkenes are subject to an unusual ligand controlled mechanistic divergence. Pd-systems modified with electron deficient phosphines (e.g. P(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)3) promote efficient aza-Heck cyclization, wherein C-N bond formation occurs via alkene imino-palladation. Conversely, electron rich ligands, such as P(t-Bu)3, cause deviation to a SET pathway and, in these cases, C-N bond formation occurs via cyclization of an iminyl radical. A series of mechanistic experiments differentiate the two pathways and the scope of the hybrid organometallic radical cyclization is outlined. This study represents a rare example in Pd-catalysis where selection between dichotomous mechanistic manifolds is facilitated solely by choice of phosphine ligand.

Coumarins to Cyanines: Synthesis of Hemicyanines.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) emitting fluorophores are powerful tools for optical imaging. However, there are only a handful of broadly employed NIR-emitting scaffolds, and the synthetic methods to prepare these molecules are often problematic. Here, we describe a novel, three-step synthesis of chromene-containing hemicyanine probes exhibiting large Stokes shifts and NIR emissions. We develop a pH-activatable probe for visualizing lysosomal trafficking of mAb conjugates. These studies provide a concise approach to hemicyanines with promising properties.

Enantioselective Synthesis of γ-Oxycarbonyl Motifs by Conjugate Addition of Photogenerated α-Alkoxy Radicals.

Project description:Enantioselective catalytic Giese addition of photogenerated α-alkoxy radicals to acyl pyrazolidinones can be accomplished using a tandem Sc(III) Lewis acid/photoredox catalyst system. Surprisingly, the excited-state oxidation potential was not the only important variable, and the optimal photocatalyst was not the strongest oxidant screened. Our results show that both the oxidation and reduction potentials of the photocatalyst can be important for the reaction outcome, highlighting the importance of holistic considerations in designing photochemical reactions.

Efficacy analysis of new copper complex for visible light (455, 530 nm) radical/cationic photopolymerization: The synergic effects and catalytic cycle.

Project description:The kinetics and the conversion features of two 3-component systems (A/B/N), based on the proposed new kinetic schemes of Mokbel and Mau et al, in which a visible LED is used to excite a copper complex to its excited triplet state (G*). The coupling of G* with iodonium salt and ethyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate (EDB) produces both free radical polymerization (FRP) of acrylates and the free radical promoted cationic polymerization (CP) of epoxides using various new copper complex as the initiator. Higher FRP and CP conversion can be achieved by co-additive of [B] and N, via the dual function of (i) regeneration [A], and (ii) generation of extra radicals. The interpenetrated polymer network (IPN) capable of initiating both FRP and CP in a blend of TMPTA and EPOX. The synergic effects due to CP include: (i) CP can increase viscosity limiting the diffusional oxygen replenishment; (ii) the cation also acts as a diluting agent for the IPN network, and (iii) the exothermic property of the CP. The catalytic cycle, synergic effects, and the oxygen inhibition are theoretically confirmed to support the experimental hypothesis. The measured results of Mokbel and Mau et al are well analyzed and matching the predicted features of our modeling.

Polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines to <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> generate distinct humoral responses.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis in older adults worldwide. Two pneumococcal vaccines containing S. pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides are in current use: the polysaccharide vaccine PPSV23 and the glycoconjugate vaccine PCV13. In clinical trials, both vaccines elicit similar opsonophagocytic killing activity. In contrast to polysaccharide vaccines, conjugate vaccines have shown consistent efficacy against nasopharyngeal carriage and noninvasive pneumonia overall and for some prevalent individual serotypes. Given these different clinical profiles, it is crucial to understand the differential immunological responses induced by these two vaccines. Here, we used a high-throughput systems serology approach to profile the biophysical and functional features of serum antibodies induced by PCV13 and PPSV23 at 1 month and 1 year. In comparison with PPSV23, PCV13 induced higher titers across antibody isotypes; more durable antibody responses across immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM isotypes; and increased antigenic breadth. Although titers measured in opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) assays were similar between the two groups, confirming what was observed in clinical studies, serum samples from PCV13 vaccinees could induce additional non-OPA antibody-dependent functions, including monocyte phagocytosis and natural killer cell activation. In a multivariate modeling approach, distinct humoral profiles were demonstrated in each arm. Together, these results demonstrate that the glycoconjugate PCV13 vaccine induces an antigenically broader, more durable, polyfunctional antibody response. These findings may help explain the increased protection against S. pneumoniae colonization and noninvasive pneumonia and the longer duration of protection against invasive pneumococcal disease, mediated by PCV13.
