A tumor redox-activatable micellar nanoplatform based on the naturally occurring biomacromolecule hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed for complementary photodynamic/chemotherapy against CD44-positive tumors. Here HA was first conjugated with l-carnitine (Lc)-modified zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) via disulfide linkage and then co-assembled with tirapazamine (TPZ) to afford the physiologically stable micellar nanostructure. The mitochondria-targeted photodynamic activity of ZnPc-Lc could efficiently activate the mitochondrial apoptosis cascade and deplete the oxygen in the tumor intracellular environment to amplify the hypoxia-dependent cytotoxic effect of TPZ.

Monoxide and dioxide of animo quinoxaline were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. The result shows that monoxide is main product. 1H NMR analysis, quantum calculation and crystal structure all indicate that the monoxide is 4-oxide structure but not 1-oxide structure. The subsequent discussions of electronic effect and steric effect of 1-oxide and 4-oxide support the conclusion that 4-oxide is dominant product, which is consistent with 1H NMR analysis and crystal structure. At last, the calculated structure is in good agreement with the crystal structure in this paper, which indicates that the calculation result in this paper is credible.

Hypoxia-selective cytotoxins (HSCs) seek to exploit the oxygen-poor nature of tumor tissue for therapeutic gain. Typically, HSCs require activation by one-electron bioreductive enzymes such as NADPH:cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPOR). Thus, successful clinical deployment of HSCs may be facilitated by the development and implementation of diagnostic probes that detect the presence of relevant bioreductive enzymes in tumor tissue. The work described here develops analogues of the well-studied HSC tirapazamine (3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1,4-di-N-oxide, TPZ) as profluorescent substrates of the one-electron reductases involved in bioactivation of HSCs. Hypoxic metabolism of TPZ or 7-fluoro-TPZ by one-electron reductases releases inherently fluorescent mono-N-oxide metabolites that may serve as indicators, probes, markers, or stains for the detection of the enzymes involved in the bioactivation of HSCs. In particular, profluorescent compounds of this type can provide a foundation for fluorescence-based bioassays that help identify tumors responsive to HSCs.
