RESUMEN
This study sheds light on how to rationally design efficient photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) agents by covalently linking phthalocyanines (Pcs) as photosensitizers with an antibiotic: Ciprofloxacin (CIP). Pcs used are zinc (II) 3-(4-((3,17,23-tris(4-(Benzo(d)thiazol-2-yl] thiol) phthalocyanine-9-yl) oxy) phenyl) propanoic acid (1) and zinc (II) 3-(4-(3,17,23-tris(3-(4-(triphenylphosphine) butyl) benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium bromide phthalocyanine-9-yl) oxy) phenyl) propanoic acid (2). High singlet oxygen quantum yields are observed in the presence of CIP. Square wave voltammetry was used to analyse the Pc-CIP uptake by bacteria biofilms of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumonia) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron spectroscopy were used to study the stability of the biofilms in the presence Pc-CIP complexes and when exposed to light. Raman and time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) are used to identify the breakdown of cellular components of the biofilm and penetration of the Pc-CIP into the biofilms, respectively.

In this work, we have described the synthesis of phthalocyanine complexes Zn(II) tetrakis 4-(5-formylpyridin-2-yl)oxy) phthalocyanine (2), Zn(II) tetrakis-1butyl4-(2-(6- (tetra-phenoxy)pyridin-3-yl) vinyl)pyridin-1-ium phthalocyanine (3) and Zn(II) tetrakis 1butyl5-(2-(1-butylpyridin-1-ium-4-yl)vinyl)-2-(tetra-phenoxy)pyridin-1-ium phthalocyanine (4). The effect of a varying number of charges when the Pc complexes are alone or grafted in gallic acid (GA) tagged silica nanoparticles on photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is investigated toward Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and Escherichia coli (E.coli) in both planktonic and biofilm forms. Complex 4, bearing a total of 8 cationic charges, displayed the highest activity with log CFU (colony forming units) values of 8.60 and 6.42 against E.coli and S.aureus biofilms, respectively. The surface stability of E.coli and S.aureus biofilms in the presence of 4 and its conjugate was analyzed using cyclic voltammetry. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectra are also used to study the conformational and biochemical changes within biofilm upon subjecting them to PACT.

This work reports on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the therapeutic activities of new triphenyl-phosphonium-labelled phthalocyanines (Pcs), the 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(N-(N-butyl-4-triphenyl-phosphonium)- pyridine-4-yloxy) Zn(II) Pc (3) and 2,9,16,23-tetrakis-(N-(N-butyl-4-triphenyl-phosphonium)-morpholino) Zn(II) Pc (4) upon exposure to light, ultrasound and the combination of light and ultrasound. Two types of ROS were detected: the singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radicals. For light irradiations, only the 1O2 was detected. An increase in the ROS generation was observed for samples treated with the combination of light and ultrasound compared to the light and ultrasound mono-treatments. The in vitro anticancer activity through photodynamic (PDT) and sonodynamic (SDT) therapy for the Pcs were also determined and compared to the photo-sonodynamic combination therapy (PSDT). The two cancer cell lines used for the in vitro studies included the Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) breast cancer and Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) cervical cancer cell lines. The SDT treatments showed improved therapeutic efficacy on the cancer cells for both the Pcs compared to PDT. PSDT showed better therapeutic efficacy compared to both the PDT and SDT mono-treatments.

Cationic Zn phthalocyanine complexes were derived by alkylation reaction of tetra-(pyridinyloxy) phthalocyanines (Pcs) at the ortho, meta, and para positions to form Zn (II) tetrakis 3-(4-(2-pyridin-1-ium-1-yl) butyl)-2-mercapto-4,5-dihydrothiazol-3-ium phthalocyanine (2), Zn (II) tetrakis 3-(4-(3-pyridin-1-ium-1-yl) butyl)-2-mercapto-4,5-dihydrothiazol-3-ium phthalocyanine (4) and Zn (II) tetrakis 3-(4-(4-pyridin-1-ium-1-yl) butyl)-2-mercapto-4,5-dihydrothiazol-3-ium phthalocyanine (6). The photophysicochemical behaviors of the Pc complexes were assessed. The meta and para-substituted complexes gave high singlet oxygen quantum yields. The cationic Pcs demonstrated good planktonic antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with the high log reduction values of 9.29 and 8.55, respectively. The cationic complexes also showed a significant decrease in the viability of in vitro biofilms after photo-antimicrobial chemotherapy at 100 µM for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms.

Cationic Zn phthalocyanine complexes were synthesized using Knoevenagel reaction starting from a Zn(ii) tetrakis(2-formylphenoxy)phthalocyanine (1) to form Zn(ii) tetrakis(1-butyl-4-(4-(tetraphenoxy)styryl)pyridin-1-ium) phthalocyanine (2) and Zn(ii) tetrakis(4-(4-(tetraphenoxy)styryl)-1-(4-(triphenylphosphonio)butyl)pyridin-1-ium)phthalocyanine (3). The photophysicochemical behaviours of the Pc complexes were assessed. The cationic complexes display high water-solubility and gave moderate singlet oxygen quantum yield in water. The cationic Pcs demonstrate good cellular uptake and photodynamic activity against MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 8.2 and 4.9 µM for 2 and 3, respectively. The cationic Pcs also demonstrate high photoantimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli with log reductions of 5.3 and 6.0 for 2 and 3, respectively.

1-(2-Methoxyethyl)piperidine sustituted Zn phthalocyanine complex (2) is synthesised and quartenised (3). These complexes are loaded into silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) that are futher surface modified with ampicillin and 1.3-propanesultone. The photophysical and photochemical properties of the complexes and their doped conjugates were investigated in dimethylsulfoxide. The cationic complex (3) is used for photodynamic antimicrobial activity. Log reduction values of above 9 are obtained towards the photoiactivation of Staphyloccocus aureus.
