A new dual-function fluorescent probe is developed for detecting nitroreductase (NTR) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with different responses. Imaging application of the probe reveals that intracellular NTR and ATP display an adverse changing trend during a hypoxic process and ATP can serve as a new sign for cell hypoxia.

A novel mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probe compound S-N3 for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in living cells has been designed and synthesized in this study. This article contained the chemosynthesis and some studies on bioactivity of the target compound in living cells. Compound S-N3 is easy to synthesize and can remain stable under the effect of pH, system and photostability. In addition, it shows low cytotoxicity in cell imaging. And it can react with H2S highly selective in PBS or FBS solution, which would cause the obvious increase in fluorescence intensity. Therefore, the low-cost detection method for H2S is allowed for monitoring the quantity of H2S existed in the mitochondria.

Disseminated tumors lead to approximately 90% of cancer-associated deaths especially for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), indicating the imperative need of antimetastatic drugs and the ineffectiveness of current therapies. Recently polyamine derivatives have been identified as a promising prospect in dealing with metastatic tumors. Herein, a novel class of naphthalimide-polyamine conjugates 8a-8d, 13a-13c, 17 and 21 were synthesized and the mechanism was further determined. The polyamine conjugate 13b displayed remarkably elevated anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects (76.01% and 75.02%) than the positive control amonafide (46.91% and 55.77%) at 5 mg/kg in vivo. The underlying molecular mechanism indicated that in addition to induce DNA damage by up-regulating p53 and γH2AX, 13b also targeted lysosome to modulate polyamine metabolism and function in a totally different way from that of amonafide. Furthermore, the HMGB1/p62/LC3II/LC3I and p53/SSAT/β-catenin pathways were mainly involved in the inhibition of 13b-induced HCC metastasis by targeting polyamine transporters (PTs) overexpressed in HCC. At last, 13b down-regulated the concentrations of Put, Spd and Spm by modulating polyamine metabolism key enzymes SSAT and PAO, which favored the suppression of fast growing tumor cells. Taken together, our study implies a promising strategy for naphthalimide conjugates to treat terminal cancer of HCC by targeting autophagy and tumor microenvironment with reduced toxicities and notable activities.

We prepared conceptually novel, fully rigid, spiro compact electron donor (Rhodamine B, lactam form, RB)/acceptor (naphthalimide; NI) orthogonal dyad to attain the long-lived triplet charge-transfer (3CT) state, based on the electron spin control using spin-orbit charge transfer intersystem crossing (SOCT-ISC). Transient absorption (TA) spectra indicate the first charge separation (CS) takes place within 2.5 ps, subsequent SOCT-ISC takes 8 ns to produce the 3NI* state. Then the slow secondary CS (125 ns) gives the long-lived 3CT state (0.94 μs in deaerated n-hexane) with high energy level (ca. 2.12 eV). The cascade photophysical processes of the dyad upon photoexcitation are summarized as 1NI*→1CT→3NI*→3CT. With time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) spectra, an EEEAAA electron-spin polarization pattern was observed for the naphthalimide-localized triplet state. Our spiro compact dyad structure and the electron spin-control approach is different to previous methods for which invoking transition-metal coordination or chromophores with intrinsic ISC ability is mandatory.

A series of monoazo disperse dyes were synthesized by coupling diazotized 4-amino-N-dodecyl-1,8-naphthalimide with N,N-dialkyl anilines and naphthol derivatives. The synthesized intermediates and the dyes were characterized using FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis (CHN). Visible absorption spectra of the dyes were examined in solvents of different polarities. The electronic absorption spectra cover a wavelength (λmax) range of 515-535 nm in DMF at uniformly absorption intensity between 1.59-3.00×104L mol-1cm-1. The dyes gave deep and bright intense hues of light violet, maroon, pink and neon red on polyester fabrics. The dyes generally showed good washing and perspiration rating but poor to moderate light fastness properties on woven polyester fabric and could be recommended for commercial outlets.

Intersystem crossing (ISC) was observed for naphthalimide (NI)-derived Tr?ger's base, and the ISC was confirmed to occur by a spin-orbital charge-transfer (SOCT) mechanism. Conventional electron donor/acceptor dyads showing SOCT-ISC have semirigid linkers. In contrast, the linker between the two chromophores in Tr?ger's base is rigid and torsion is completely inhibited, which is beneficial for efficient SOCT-ISC. Femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectra demonstrated charge-separation and charge-recombination-induced ISC processes. Nanosecond TA spectroscopy confirmed the ISC, and the triplet state is long-lived (46 μs, room temperature). The ISC quantum yield is dependent on solvent polarity (8–41 %). The triplet state was studied by pulsed-laser-excited time-resolved EPR spectroscopy, and both the NI-localized triplet state and triplet charge-transfer state were observed, which is in good agreement with the spin-density analysis. The Tr?ger's base was confirmed to be a potent photodynamic therapy reagent with HeLa cells (EC50=5.0 nm).

Platinum(Pt)(II) drugs and new Pt(IV) agents behave the dysregulation of apoptosis as the result of DNA damage repair and thus, are less effective in the treatment of resistant tumors. Herein, mononitro-naphthalimide Pt(IV) complex 10b with minimized side-effects was reported targeting DNA damage response via a dual-DNA-damage approach to overcome cisplatin resistance. 10b displayed remarkably evaluated antitumor (70.10percent) activities in vivo compared to that of cisplatin (52.88percent). The highest fold increase (FI) (5.08) for A549cisR cells and the lowest (0.72) for A549 indicated 10b preferentially accumulated in resistant cell lines. The possible molecular mechanism indicates that 10b targets resistant cells in a totally different way from the existing Pt drugs. The cell accumulation and the Pt levels in genomic DNA from 10b is almost 5 folds higher than that of cisplatin and oxaliplatin, indicating the naphthalimide moiety in 10b exhibits preferentially DNA damage. Using 5′-dGMP as a DNA model, the DNA-binding properties of 10b (1 mM) with 5′-dGMP (3 mM) in the presence of ascorbic acid (5 mM) deduced that 10b was generated by the combination of cisplatin with 5′-dGMP after reduction by ascorbic acid. Moreover, 10b promoted the expression of p53 gene and protein more effectively than cisplatin, leading to the increased anticancer activity. The up-regulated γH2A.X and down-regulated RAD51 indicates that 10b not only induced severe DNA damage but also inhibited the DNA damage repair, thus resulting in its higher cytotoxicity in comparison to that of cisplatin. Their preferential accumulation in cancer cells (SMMC-7721) compared to the matched normal cells (HL-7702 cells) demonstrated that they were potentially safe for clinical therapeutic use. In addition, the higher therapeutic indices of 10b for 4T1 cells in vivo indicated that naphthalimide-Pt(IV) conjugates behaved a vital function in the treatment of breast cancer. For the first time, our study implies a significant strategy for Pt drugs to treat resistance cancer targeting DNA damage repair via dual DNA damage mechanism in a totally new field.

Novel light-harvesting compound 6, based on 1,8-naphthalimide donors and perylenediimide acceptor were synthesized. The light-harvesting compound 6 showed intensive absorption band in range between 390 and 560 nm, that is 50 nm wider in comparison with the absorption of the model perylene dye. The novel antenna 6 has a higher ability to collect photons from environment in comparison with the single perylene diimide dyes. The chosen fluorophore units are suitable donor–acceptor pair for light-harvesting materials which was in agreement with their good antibacterial activity.

Background: The substituted 1,8-Naphthalimides (1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)- diones) are known as DNA intercalators stabilizing DNA-Topoisomerase II complexes. This interaction disrupts the cleavage-relegation equilibrium of Topo II, resulting in formation of broken strands of DNA. Objective: To investigate the influence of type of substituents and substitution positions in 1,8- naphthalimde skeleton on the inhibition of Topoisomerase II activity. Method: The starting 1,8-naphthalimide were prepared from acenaphthene by introduction of appropriate substituents followed by condensation with ω-hydroxylakylamines of different chain length. The substituents were introduced to 1,8-naphthalimide molecule by nucleophilic substitution of leaving groups like nitro or bromo present in 4 or 4,5- positions using the ω- hydroxylalkylamines. The bioactivity of obtained compounds was examined in model cell lines. Results: Antiproliferative activity of selected compounds against HCT 116 human colon cancer cells, human non-small cell lung cells A549 and non-tumorigenic BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelium cells was examined. Several of investigated compounds exhibit a significant activity (IC50 μM to 7 μM) against model cancer cell lines. It was demonstrated that upon treatment with concentration of 200 μM, all derivatives display Topo II inhibitory activity, which may be compared with activity of Amonafide. Conclusion: The replacement of the nitro groups in the chromophore slightly reduces its anticancer activities, whereas the presence of both nitro group and ω-hydroxylalkylamine chain resulted in seriously increased anticancer activity. Obtained compounds showed Topo II inhibitory activity, moreover, influence of the substitution pattern on the ability to inhibit Topo II activity and cancer cells proliferation was observed.
