Using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy methods we obtained the results demonstrating alterations in spectral characteristics in supramolecular system composed of gold nanorods (AuNR) (10 x 38 nm) and complexes of human serum albumin (HSA) and 5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). TPP fluorescence (max = 636 and 658 nm) was found to enhance. The dependence of fluorescence enhancing in time was of nonlinear nature. Maximum TPP fluorescence enhancing value was as high as 16% and it was achieved in 7 min after mixing the components. Simultaneously with TPP fluorescence enhancing we observed a decrease in HAS own fluorescence (max = 340 nm) and optical density reduction in maximum of longitudinal localized plasmon band of AuNR (max = 752 nm).

A series of 2-pyridone[α]-fused BOPHYs - were prepared via a two-step procedure involving the preparation of enamine, followed by an intramolecular heterocyclization reaction. In addition to being fully conjugated with the BOPHY core pyridone fragment, BOPHYs and have a pyridine group connected to the BOPHY core via one- or two -CH- groups. New BOPHYs were characterized by spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction.

Herein, a water-soluble, ultrabright, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent, mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs)-peptide bioconjugate is designed with dual targeting capabilities. Cancer cell surface overexpressed αβ integrin targeting two RGDS tetrapeptide residues is tethered at the macrocycle of MIMs-peptide bioconjugate via Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry on the Wang resin, and mitochondria targeting lipophilic cationic TPP functionality is conjugated at the axle dye. Living carcinoma cell selective active targeting, subsequently cell penetration, mitochondrial imaging, including the ultrastructure of cristae, and real-time tracking of malignant mitochondria by MIMs-peptide bioconjugate (RGDS)-Mito-MIMs-TPP are established by stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.

β-Amyloid (Aβ) peptides are believed as the diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Their complexes with copper ions can catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to further promote neuronal death. Herein, we suggested that porphyrin-substituted phenylalanine-phenylalanine nanoparticles (TPP-FF NPs) could inhibit the aggregation of Aβ monomers, disassemble the fibrillar Aβ aggregates under light illumination, and depressing the Cu-induced generation of ROS.

A series of seven-coordinated monoporphyrinate rare-earth(III) complexes featuring a novel tripodal tin-chelated trisphosphineoxide scorpionate ligand with the general formula [(TPP)Ln(PPhO)Sn] (Ln = Y, La, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb; TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate) were synthesized by reactions of the potassium tripodal scorpionate ligand [Sn(PPhO)K] with porphyrinate rare-earth metal chlorides [(TPP)LnCl(dme)] (Ln = Y, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb) or porphyrinate lanthanum borohydride [(TPP)LaBH(thf)]. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and ion mobility mass spectrometry. All complexes emit weak red TPP-based fluorescence, accompanied by near-infrared emission of Er, Ho (rather weak), and Yb (relatively intense with a quantum yield of 1% in dichloromethane solution) of the corresponding complexes.
