Microbioreactors with multioptical sensors have become increasingly important because of their small working volumes, high degree of parallelization and the available robotics. A novel hydrophobic luminescent copolymer P(Pt-TPP-TFEMA) along with reference P(Pt-TPP-EMA) containing the pendant group of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) moiety as low-cost dissolved oxygen (DO) chemosensor film for high-throughput microbioreactors is designed. Its sensor film exhibits fast response to DO with good stability and fatigue resistance, being capable of applying as a low-cost DO indicator for high-throughput bioprocess measurement. Results show that the quenching response of DO increases with the enhancement in the copolymeric hydrophobicity using the presented hybrid fluorinated ethyl methacrylate. Furthermore, the long emission band at 650 nm of chromophore TPP with large Stoke's shift about 250 nm brings several advantages, such as low scattering, deep penetration, and minimal interferences of absorption and fluorescence from the fermentation system, which shows high-promising application in bioprocess monitoring. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J , 59: 2743–2752, 2013

A polymer-encapsulated colorful Al pigment (PCAP) for fabric coatings was successfully prepared by a combined sol–gel spray drying assisted in situ polymerization method, and the near-infrared (NIR) reflectance and ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of the coated fabrics were investigated. TG-DSC, SEM, and antisolvent test results proved that the reactive dyes were chemically attached to KH-550 modified Al pigment via a covalent bond. The PCAP was stable in strong alkaline (pH 12) or acidic (pH 1) conditions. The NIR reflectance and ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of PCAP coated cotton fabrics were 80.05% and 290.76, respectively, when the mass ratio of monomer to colorful Al pigment was 1:10 with the coating thickness of 50 μm. PCAP coated fabrics showed excellent color strength, and good washing and rubbing fastness with a relatively good handle.

Magnetic targeting that utilizes a magnetic field to specifically delivery theranostic agents to targeted tumor regions can greatly improve the cancer treatment efficiency. Herein, we load chlorin e6 (Ce6), a widely used PS molecule in PDT , on polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized iron oxide nanoclusters (IONCs), obtaining IONC–PEG–Ce6 as a theranostic agent for dual-mode imaging guided and magnetic-targeting enhanced in vivo PDT. Interestingly, after being loaded on PEGylated IONCs, the absorbance/excitation peak of Ce6 shows an obvious red-shift from ∼650 nm to ∼700 nm, which locates in the NIR region with improved tissue penetration. Without noticeable dark toxicity, Ce6 loaded IONC–PEG (IONC–PEG–Ce6) exhibits significantly accelerated cellular uptake compared with free Ce6, and thus offers greatly improved in vitro photodynamic cancer cell killing efficiency under a low-power light exposure. After demonstrating the magnetic field (MF) enhanced PDT using IONC–PEG–Ce6, we then further test this concept in animal experiments. Owing to the strong magnetism of IONCs and the long blood-circulation time offered by the condensed PEG coating, IONC–PEG–Ce6 shows strong MF-induced tumor homing ability, as evidenced by in vivo dual modal optical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In vivo PDT experiment based magnetic tumor targeting using IONC–PEG–Ce6 is finally carried out, achieving high therapeutic efficacy with dramatically delayed tumor growth after just a single injection and the MF-enhanced photodynamic treatment. Considering the biodegradability and non-toxicity of iron oxide, our IONC–PEG–Ce6 presented in this work may be a useful multifunctional agent promising in photodynamic cancer treatment under magnetic targeting.

A series of new isostructural lanthanide metal–organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), [Ln2(L)2(DMAC)2]·nH2O [Ln = La (1), Pr (2), Nd (3), Sm (4), Eu (5), Gd (6), Tb (7), and Tm (8); H4L = 5-(bis(4-carboxybenzyl)amino)-isophthalic acid, DMAC = N,N′-dimethylacetamide], have been isolated. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that all complexes exhibit a rare (4,8)-connected alb-4,8-P topology with binuclear [Eu2(COO)8]n secondary building units as 8-connected nodes and H4L ligands as 4-connected nodes. Two mixed-lanthanide analogues of single-lanthanide MOFs were designed and prepared [Ln = La0.93Eu0.02Tb0.05 (9) and Tm0.47Eu0.18Tb0.35 (10)] by way of careful regulation of the relative concentration of lanthanide ions which are able to emit pure white light. Luminescent sensing of complexes 3 and 5 has been investigated. Strikingly, complex 5 exhibits an excellent luminescent sensing to TNP with a high Ksv value of 3.58 × 104 M–1 and a low detection limit of 4.66 × 10–4 mM. Complex 3 reveals high selectivity and sensitivity toward benzaldehyde (Ksv of 4.9 × 104 M–1; detection limit of 3.4 × 10–4 mM). It represents the first example of an NIR luminescent MOF for sensing of benzaldehyde.

Bimodal imaging has captured increasing interests due to its complementary characteristics of two kinds of imaging modalities. Among the various dual-modal imaging techniques, MR/fluorescence imaging has been widely studied owing to its high 3D resolution and sensitivity. There is, however, still a strong demand to construct biocompatible MR/fluorescence contrast agents with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent emissions and high relaxivities. In this study, BSA-DTPAGd derived from bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a novel kind of biotemplate is employed for biomineralization of paramagnetic NIR Ag2S quantum dots (denoted as Ag2S@BSA-DTPAGd pQDs). This synthetic strategy is found to be bioinspired, environmentally benign, and straightforward. The obtained Ag2S@BSA-DTPAGd pQDs have fine sizes (ca. 6 nm) and good colloidal stability. They exhibit unabated NIR fluorescent emission (ca. 790 nm) as well as high longitudinal relaxivity (r1 = 12.6 mM–1 s–1) compared to that of commercial Magnevist (r1 = 3.13 mM–1 s–1). In vivo tumor-bearing MR and fluorescence imaging both demonstrate that Ag2S@BSA-DTPAGd pQDs have pronounced tiny tumor targeting capability. In vitro and in vivo toxicity study show Ag2S@BSA-DTPAGd pQDs are biocompatible. Also, biodistribution analysis indicates they can be cleared from body mainly via liver metabolism. This protein-mediated biomineralized Ag2S@BSA-DTPAGd pQDs presents great potential as a novel bimodal imaging contrast agent for tiny tumor diagnosis.

Integration of cancer diagnosis and treatment, namely theranostics, is an important issue in the biomedical field. Benefiting from an excellent photothermal effect, ROS generation ability, and the desired mesoporous structure of the TiO2–x matrix, we strategically designed and fabricated a TiO2–x based theranostic system for realizing fluorescence/photoacoustic tomography (PAT) bimodal imaging guided triple therapy for photothemal/photodynamic/chemotherapy in this work. Nonstoichiometric TiO2–x nanospheres are excellent near-infrared absorptive material, which takes on both photosensitizer and photothermal agent roles in implementing PDT/PTT combination therapy and PAT imaging. Moreover, the mesoporous structure of TiO2–x also allowed drug loading, and the polydopamine sealing layer enabled it to induce NIR/pH-triggered drug controlled release. Resultantly, both the in vitro and in vivo experiment manifested the remarkable tumor inhibition and tumor imaging effects by the TiO2–x based theranostic system. The antitumor mechanism was attributable to a synergistic therapeutic effect (combination index = 0.318) of DOX-induced DNA damage, and PDT/PTT caused mitochondrial dysfunction and a change in the cell membrane permeability. Innovatively, the B-mode ultrasonography was adopted to monitor the rehabilitation process at the solid tumor site after treatment, which observed a liquefaction necrosis process.

A near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent “turn-on” probe is presented for dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO 2 ) detection in aqueous medium. This probe is based on perylene bisimide-functionalized hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PBI-HPEI) polymer, which exhibits typical NIR fluorescence due to the excimer emission of π–π stacked PBI fluorophores. Both UV–vis absorption and fluorescent spectroscopy studies reveal that the PBI-HPEI polymer shows significantly dCO 2 -sensitive NIR emission via a known photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. Importantly, this sensory system is characterized with facile synthesis, fast response, excellent water-solubility and wide linear detection concentration range. It is thus capable of detecting dCO 2 even in real-world carbonated beverages and drinking water samples. Additionally, in view of the modular design principle of the present fluorescent polymer with typical NIR excimer emission of π–π stacked PBI molecules, the proposed strategy is expected to be applicable to the fabrication of novel versatile NIR-emitting sensory materials.

Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles with multiple therapeutic/diagnostic functions are highly desirable for effective tumor treatment. Herein novel caspase-3 responsive functionalized upconversion nanoparticles (CFUNs) were fabricated with three-in-one functional integration: near-infrared (NIR) triggered photodynamic damage along with caspase-3 activation, subsequent caspase-3 responsive drug release, and cascade chemotherapeutic activation. CFUNs were formulated from the self-assembly of caspase-3 responsive doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug tethered with DEVD peptide (DEVD-DOX), upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP), a photosensitizer (pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester, MPPa), and tumor-targeting cRGD-PEG-DSPE to afford multifunctional CFUNs, MPPa/UCNP-DEVD-DOX/cRGD. Upon cellular uptake and NIR irradiation, the visible light emission of UCNP could excite MPPa to produce reactive oxygen species for photodynamic therapy (PDT) along with the activation of caspase-3, which further cleaved DEVD peptide to release DOX within tumor cells, thus accomplishing NIR-triggered PDT and cascade chemotherapy. CFUNs presented silent therapeutic potency and negligible cytotoxicity in the dark, whereas in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the NIR-triggered cascade therapeutic activation and tumor inhibition due to consecutive PDT and chemotherapy. Current NIR-activated cascade tumor therapy with two distinct mechanisms is significantly favorable to overcome multidrug resistance and tumor heterogeneity for persistent tumor treatment.

Near-infrared (NIR) light has great potential in biomedical applications due to its advantages of deep penetration depth and low photodamage to biological tissues. In this paper, we constructed a novel core-shell structured drug nanocarrier, Fe 3 O 4 @Au@SiO 2 , for the controlled delivery of etoposide (VP16), a chemotherapeutic drug for cancer patients. The novel core-shell structured drug delivery platform is composed of a mesoporous silica shell and a magnetic Fe 3 O 4 core using Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the interlayer, which is characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms and the magnetic measurements with vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM). The synergistic effects of AuNPs, mesoporous silica and Fe 3 O 4 make the core-shell structured nanocomposites an excellent candidate for targeted and NIR light irradiation-controlled drug delivery. For the proposed nanocarrier of VP16, the mesopores in silica can enhance the encapsulation capacity of the nanocarrier and the AuNPs can effectively convert the NIR light into heat to speed up the drug deliver; meanwhile, the incorporation of Fe 3 O 4 with high magnetization to the drug delivery platform realize drug targeting under an applied external magnetic field.

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are important photothermal therapeutic agents; however, a single therapy does not achieve satisfactory outcomes, and the synthesis process often leads to the adsorption of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide on the surface of AuNRs, which reduces its biocompatibility. Natural polyphenols are abundant in natural plants and have good biocompatibility. The metal-polyphenol network is formed by the coordination of metal ions and polyphenols, which has good drug loading, surface adhesion, and biocompatibility. In this study, the metal-polyphenol network structure formed by a transition metal (iron) and natural polyphenol tannic acid was used to modify the surface of gold nanorods (AuNRs@TF). Additionally, the surfaces of AuNRs were modified using the targeted functional molecule mercapto folic acid (AuNRs@TFF). The constructed composite nanomaterials AuNRs@TFF has good biocompatibility and tumor targeting ability. Tannic acid‑iron degrades in the tumor microenvironment and releases iron ions that catalyze the Fenton reaction, thereby facilitating chemodynamic therapy. The good photo-thermal ability of AuNRs generate good photoacoustic signals to facilitate photoacoustic imaging mediation and enhances photothermal and chemodynamic therapy performance. This study expands on the application of AuNRs in the field of nanomedicine. The simple and effective design of AuNRs@TFF provides a strategy for the development of synergistic therapeutic agents for photothermal therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Hollow natural polysaccharide microcapsules have broad applications in drug delivery field due to their excellent biocompatibility and drug loading efficiency. In this paper, pH/near-infrared (NIR) dual-responsive microcapsules composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), chitosan (CS) and hollow CuS (HA/CS/HA@CuS) had been fabricated via a layer-by-layer (LbL) approach. The negative charge, rough surface and hollow structure of microcapsules are very favorable for loading positively charged DOX. As a result, hollow microcapsules display a high drug loading efficiency of 91.15 %. The variation in the degree of amino ionization at different pH values leads to the changes in the electrostatic force between CS/HA multilayers, resulting in the structural change in microcapsules. Therefore, microcapsules exhibit significant pH-responsive drug release properties. In addition, hollow CuS nanoparticles with excellent photothermal conversion ability are capped on the multilayer surface, enabling microcapsules to exhibit excellent NIR-responsive drug delivery properties. Overall, hyaluronic acid/chitosan-based hollow microcapsules with notable pH/NIR dual-responsiveness have been prepared, which can be used as a potential drug carrier for controlled drug delivery and photothermal chemical combination therapy.

In this study, the mesoporous Fe3O4 nanodrug carriers containing disulfide bonds (CHO-SMNPs) were successfully synthesized and characterized. Doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded onto the CHO-SMNPs as a model drug and gatekeeper through the formation of imine bonds with the aldehyde groups on the surface of the mesoporous materials. This drug carrier demonstrates effective drug release triggered by pH, glutathione (GSH), and near-infrared (NIR) light, along with satisfactory photothermal conversion efficiency under NIR irradiation at 808 nm. Furthermore, CHO-SMNPs exhibit excellent blood compatibility and biodegradability. They also show good biocompatibility and efficient cellular uptake in HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells. Most importantly, the CHO-SMNPs/DOX has shown significant effectiveness in killing both HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells. Consequently, CHO-SMNPs/DOX presents substantial potential as a magnetic-targeted, pH/GSH/NIR triple-triggered drug delivery system for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy in tumor treatment.
