研究目的
To improve the water solubility and pH-activatable properties of a porphyrin derivative for enhanced photodynamic therapy and diagnosis by introducing phosphorus(V) complexation.
研究成果
The complexation of a pH-activatable porphyrin derivative with phosphorus(V) significantly improved water solubility by 100 times and enhanced the ON/OFF switching ratio for singlet oxygen generation to over 400 times. This was achieved through suppressed protonation of pyrrole nitrogen, strong intramolecular charge transfer character leading to rapid internal conversion, and high quantum yields under acidic conditions. The independence of OFF state performance on solvent polarity makes it favorable for biological applications, suggesting phosphorus complexation as an excellent strategy for developing efficient photosensitizers.
研究不足
The pK value of P(V)Por-NEt2 was 5.2, which is slightly low for biological applications, potentially limiting its effectiveness in certain physiological environments. Additionally, the synthesis and stability of some derivatives (e.g., N1 complex) were challenging due to thermal instability, indicating areas for optimization in molecular design.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing a phosphorus(V) complex of a pH-activatable porphyrin derivative (P(V)Por-NEt2) to enhance water solubility and ON/OFF switching performance. Theoretical models included DFT and TD-DFT calculations for molecular orbital analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included synthesized P(V)Por-NEt2 and reference compounds like Por-NEt2. Data were obtained from UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence measurements in various solvents and pH conditions.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included NMR spectrometers (JEOL ECS400, ECS600), mass spectrometer (Bruker compactTM), FT-IR spectrometer (JASCO FT/IR-4000), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi U3310), fluorescence spectrometer (Horiba FluoroMax 4p), absolute photoluminescence quantum yield spectrometer (Hamamatsu C9920-02), fluorescence lifetime system (HORIBA TemPro), Nd3+:YAG laser (Tokyo Instruments Lotis II), photomultiplier tube (Hamamatsu R5509-42), monochromator (Ritsu MC-10N), amplifier (Stanford Research Systems SR445), photon counter (Stanford Research Systems SR400), pH meter (DKK-TOA HM-25G). Materials included solvents like DMSO, DMF, MeCN, MeOH, EtOH, 1-octanol, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, ultrapure water (Merck Millipore Direct-Q 3UV), and synthesized compounds.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved reacting Por-NEt2 with POCl3 in pyridine followed by methanol. Measurements included recording UV-Vis absorption spectra at various concentrations and pH values, fluorescence spectra and quantum yields, fluorescence lifetimes using time-correlated single-photon counting, phosphorescence of singlet oxygen using laser excitation and detection, and pH adjustment with HCl or NaOH. Quantum yields were determined relative to standards.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using exponential functions for fluorescence decay, equation S1 for pH dependence of quantum yields, and DFT/TD-DFT calculations for molecular orbitals and absorption spectra. Statistical errors were noted as ±10% for quantum yields.
