A purposefully-designed anthraquinone-Pholiota squarrosa lectin (PhoSL) hybrid effectively degraded α-fetoprotein-L3 (AFP-L3) associated with liver cancer. Degradation was achieved under light irradiation in the absence of any additives and under neutral pH conditions. Moreover, the hybrid effectively exhibited selective photo-cytotoxicity against HuH-7 hepatocarcinoma cells upon photo-irradiation.

Cross-linking strategies have found wide applications in chemical biology, enabling the labeling of biomolecules and monitoring of protein-protein interactions. Nitrone exhibits remarkable versatility and applicability in bioorthogonal labeling due to its high reactivity with strained alkynes via the strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC) reaction. In this work, four cyclometalated iridium(III) polypyridine complexes functionalized with two nitrone units were designed as novel phosphorogenic bioorthogonal reagents for bioimaging and phototherapeutics.

Suppression of the immune microenvironment is an important endogenous contributor to treatment failure in lung cancer. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is widely used in the treatment of malignant tumors owing to its photo-selectivity and minimal side effects. Some studies have shown the ability of photodynamic action not only to cause photo-cytotoxicity to tumor cells but also to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD).

Lysosome, an organelle which contains a number of hydrolases and hydrogen ions, plays a crucial role in cellular survival and apoptosis. If selectively destroy lysosomes membrane, inner hydrolases and hydrogen ions will leak and induce cell death. In this work, three lysosome-targeting fluorescent probes (HCL 1-3, heptamethine cyanine lysosomal-targeting probe) were designed, synthesized and developed for photodynamic therapy.

A novel tumor-related biomarker, a HO-activatable photosensitizer 4 based on the 1,3-dicarbonyl enol moieties of hypocrellin B (3), was designed and synthesized. The photosensitizer 4 showed a blue-shifted absorption band compared with 3, and showed negligible photosensitizing ability without HO. However, the release of 3 from 4 by the reaction with HO regenerated the photosensitizing ability.
