ABSTRACT
The commonly employed strategies for engineering second near-infrared (NIR-II) organic phototheranostic agents are based on expanding conjugated backbone length, strengthening donor (D)-acceptor (A) effect, or forming J-aggregates. We constructed the D-A-D' structure by incorporating strong electron-donating methoxy and tetraphenylethene (TPE) moieties on the electron-deficient Aza-BODIPY core, and simultaneously expanded the π-conjugation effect by introducing thiophene groups, to obtain a dye BDP-TPE. Next, the nanoparticles P-TPE were prepared via the assembly of BDP-TPE with amphiphilic polypeptides (mPEG2000-P(Asp)10), and successfully constructed the J-aggregates. The obtained P-TPE exhibited strong absorption and fluorescence with maxima at 808 and 1018 nm, respectively, with a conspicuous absolute quantum yield of 0.241 %. Moreover, P-TPE also showed excellent biocompatibility, and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.15 %, and excellent resistance to pH, long-term storage, and photobleaching. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that P-TPE exhibited good biocompatibility and effectively achieved NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT with complete tumor ablation under 808 nm laser irradiation. These results provided good evidence for the use of P-TPE as a NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT therapeutic agent in vivo.
