Cationic amphiphiles have been demonstrated to be superior targeted antibacterial agents whose activity exhibits a close relationship with their alkyl chain substituents. However, systematic and deep investigation of the structure–property is still pending. Meanwhile, cationic risk accumulating in living mammalian cells, which poses great threat biosafety clinical applications. In this study, series amphiphilic aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) different chains (TPD-4, TPD-6, TPD-12) developed selective variable against Gram-positive bacteria depending on length. Among them, TPD-6 intermediate length exhibited performance. addition, these AIEgens had negligible invasiveness cells.

Abstract Near‐infrared photosensitizers are valuable tools to improve treatment depth in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, their low singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) generation ability, indicated by quantum yield, presents a formidable challenge for PDT. To overcome this challenge, the heptamethine cyanine was decorated with biocompatible S Scy7 and Se Secy7 atom. We observe that exhibits redshift main absorption ~840 nm an ultra‐efficient capacity. The emergence of strong intramolecular charge transfer effect between atom polymethine chain considerably narrows energy gap (0.51 eV), heavy strengthens spin–orbit coupling (1.44 cm −1 ), both which greatly improved high triplet state yield (61 %), determines . Therefore, demonstrated excellent capacity, is ~24.5‐fold indocyanine green, ~8.2‐fold IR780, ~1.3‐fold methylene blue under low‐power‐density 850 irradiation (5 mW −2 ). considerable phototoxicity toward cancer cells buried 12 mm tissue.

The activation of sequential events in the cancer-immunity cycle (CIC) is crucial for achieving effective antitumor immunity. However, formidable challenges, such as innate and adaptive immune resistance, along with off-target adverse effects nonselective immunomodulators, persist. In this study, a tumor-selective nano-regulator named PNBJQ has been presented, focusing on targeting two nonredundant nodes: inducing immunogenic cancer cell death abrogating resistance to fully activate endogenous tumor obtained by encapsulating immunomodulating agent JQ1 within self-assembling system formed linking Type-I photosensitizer polyethylene glycol through hypoxia-sensitive azo bond. Benefiting from photosensitive mechanism, triggers hypoxic tumors under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. This process resolves stimulating sufficient cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.

Abstract The clinical application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is limited by oxygen‐dependence and side effects caused photosensitizer residues. Photoinitiators based on the H‐abstraction reaction can address these challenges because they generate alkyl radical‐killing cells independently oxygen undergo rapid bleaching following H‐abstraction. Nonetheless, development photoinitiators for PDT has been impeded absence effective design strategies. Herein, we have developed aryl‐ketone substituted cyanine (ACy−R), first red‐light triggered hypoxic cancer therapy. These ACy−R molecules inherited near‐infrared absorption dye, modification imparted capability. Experimental quantum calculations revealed that modifying electron‐withdrawing groups aryl (e.g., ACy‐5F) improved contribution O atom to photon excitation process promoting intersystem crossing ability. Particularly, ACy‐5F rapidly penetrated enriched in endoplasmic reticulum. Even under severe hypoxia, initiated induced with intracellular biomolecules, inducing necroptosis ferroptosis. Moreover, was degraded after H‐abstraction, thus avoiding long‐term phototoxicity This study not only provides a crucial molecular tool tumors therapy, but also presents promising strategy multifunctional photosensitizers photoinitiators.

ABSTRACT Prostate cancer is an epithelial malignancy with a high incidence among elderly men. Photochemistry‐based dye photodrugs (known as photosensitizers) offer promising clinical approach for treating tumors. These agents work by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), which activates antitumor immune response. This favored owing to its minimal invasiveness, low toxicity, and efficiency. However, the immunosuppressive microenvironment of characteristics “cold” tumors significantly restricts efficacy photodrugs. Developing advanced nanocarrier system deliver agonists efficient drug delivery tumor lesion sites reshape crucial in practice. Therefore, this study, we designed integrin‐targeted, activatable nano photodrug co‐assembly agonist (RPST@IMQ) enhancing photoimmunotherapy prostate via reprogramming tumor‐associated macrophages. The active‐targeted nanosystem enhanced dosage at site through systemic administration. High doses glutathione cleaved disulfide bonds RPST@IMQ, releasing imiquimod (IMQ). Under photoirradiation, generated significant singlet oxygen eliminate cells, thereby ICD activate responses. Simultaneously, released IMQ reprograms M2‐type macrophages (TAMs) into M1‐type TAMs tumor‐killing capabilities, converting “hot” conversion enhances therapeutic against primary distant vivo. study offers new insights development innovative, smart, enhance anticancer outcomes.

Only a minority of patients benefit from current T-cell-focused adaptive immunotherapies, underscoring the need to engage innate immune cells, particularly macrophages, for multilayered tumor control. However, high-efficacy therapeutics capable orchestrating multiple cells remain scarce. Herein, dual stimuli-responsive nanoimmunomodulator (6EPP@si) that caters specifically microenvironment (TME) is presented antitumor synergy macrophages and T cells. Using functional polymer-based carrier, we co-deliver endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized photosensitizer 6E small interfering RNA targeting CD47 (siCD47) into breast tumors. Within acidic high-glutathione TME, 6EPP@si undergoes self-lysosome escape nanocleavage precise, on-demand drug release. Consequently, siCD47 released cytoplasm enables potent silencing, while ER-targeted induces immunogenic cell death through reactive oxygen species-based ER stress, triggering release damage-associated molecular patterns, including calreticulin surface translocation. enhances macrophage phagocytosis by modulating both antiphagocytic prophagocytic signals also promotes antigen presentation activate In orthotopic spontaneous lung metastatic models, this combined approach demonstrates robust effects effective antimetastatic immunity, offering meaningful strategy simultaneously enhancing cancer immunotherapy.
