We have synthesized and characterized a library of near-infrared (NIR) heptamethine cyanine dyes for biomedical application as photoacoustic imaging and photothermal agents. These hydrophobic dyes were incorporated into a polymer-based nanoparticle system to provide aqueous solubility and protection of the photophysical properties of each dye scaffold. Among those heptamethine cyanine dyes analyzed, 13 compounds within the nontoxic polymeric nanoparticles have been selected to exemplify structural relationships in terms of photostability, photoacoustic imaging, and photothermal behavior within the NIR (~650-850 nm) spectral region. The most contributing structural features observed in our dye design include hydrophobicity, rotatable bonds, heavy atom effects, and stability of the central cyclohexene ring within the dye core. The NIR agents developed within this project serve to elicit a structure-function relationship with emphasis on their photoacoustic and photothermal characteristics aiming at producing customizable NIR photoacoustic and photothermal tools for clinical use.

G-Quadruplex DNA has been recognized as a highly appealing target for the development of new selective chemotherapeutics, which could result in markedly reduced toxicity toward normal cells. In particular, the cyanine dyes that bind selectively to G-quadruplex structures without targeting duplex DNA have attracted attention due to their high amenability to structural modifications that allows fine-tuning of their biomolecular interactions. We have previously reported pentamethine and symmetric trimethine cyanines designed to effectively bind G-quadruplexes through end stacking interactions. Herein, we are reporting a second generation of drug candidates, the asymmetric trimethine cyanines. These have been synthesized and evaluated for their quadruplex binding properties. Incorporating a benz[c,d]indolenine heterocyclic unit increased overall quadruplex binding, and elongating the alkyl length increases the quadruplex-to-duplex binding specificity.
