RESUMO

Carbon monoxide (CO) is notorious for its toxic effects but is also recognized as a gasotransmitter with considerable therapeutic potential. Due to the inherent challenges in its delivery, the utilization of organic CO photoreleasing molecules (photoCORMs) represents an interesting alternative to CO administration characterized by high spatial and temporal precision of release. This paper focused on the design, synthesis, and photophysical and photochemical studies of 20 3-hydroxyflavone (flavonol) and 3-hydroxyflavothione derivatives as photoCORMs. Newly synthesized compounds bearing various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups show bathochromically shifted absorption maxima and considerably enhanced CO release yields compared to the parent unsubstituted flavonol, exceeding 0.8 equiv of released CO in derivatives exhibiting excited states with a charge-transfer character. Until now, such outcomes have been limited to flavonol derivatives possessing a π-extended aromatic system. In addition, thione analogs of flavonols, 3-hydroxyflavothiones, show substantial bathochromic shifts of their absorption maxima and enhanced photosensitivity but provide lower yields of CO formation. Our study elucidates in detail the mechanism of CO photorelease from flavonols and flavothiones, utilizing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies and photoproduct analyses, with a particular emphasis on unraveling the structure-photoreactivity relationship and understanding competing side processes.

RESUMO

Photooxygenation of flavonoids leads to the release of carbon monoxide (CO). Our structure-photoreactivity study, employing several structurally different flavonoids, including their 13C-labeled analogs, revealed that CO can be produced via two completely orthogonal pathways, depending on their hydroxy group substitution pattern and the reaction conditions. While photooxygenation of the enol 3-OH group has previously been established as the CO liberation channel, we show that the catechol-type hydroxy groups of ring B can predominantly participate in photodecarbonylation.

RESUMO

We report on porphyrin-flavonol hybrids consisting of a porphyrin antenna and four covalently bound 3-hydroxyflavone (flavonol) groups, which act as highly efficient photoactivatable carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (photoCORMs). These bichromophoric systems enable activation of the UV-absorbing flavonol chromophore by visible light up to 650 nm and offer precise spatial and temporal control of CO administration. The physicochemical properties of the porphyrin antenna system can also be tuned by inserting a metal cation. Our computational study revealed that the process occurs via endergonic triplet-triplet energy transfer from porphyrin to flavonol and may become feasible thanks to flavonol energy stabilization upon intramolecular proton transfer. This mechanism was also indirectly supported by steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopy techniques. Additionally, the porphyrin-flavonol hybrids were found to be biologically benign. With four flavonol CO donors attached to a single porphyrin chromophore, high CO release yields, excellent uncaging cross sections, low toxicity, and CO therapeutic properties, these photoCORMs offer exceptional potential for their further development and future biological and medical applications.

RESUMO

Photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) represent one of the main contemporary implementations of photochemistry in diverse fields of research and practical applications. For the past half century, organic and metal-complex PPGs were considered mutually exclusive classes, each of which provided unique sets of physical and chemical properties thanks to their distinctive structures. Here, we introduce the meso-methylporphyrin group as a prototype hybrid-class PPG that unites traditionally exclusive elements of organic and metal-complex PPGs within a single structure. We show that the porphyrin scaffold allows extensive modularity by functional separation of the metal-binding chromophore and up to four sites of leaving group release. The insertion of metal ions can be used to tune their spectroscopic, photochemical, and biological properties. We provide a detailed description of the photoreaction mechanism studied by steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopies and quantum-chemical calculations. Our approach applied herein could facilitate access to a hitherto untapped chemical space of potential PPG scaffolds.

RESUMO

Competitive reactions, on the surface of plasmonic nanostructures, allow exploiting SERS signals for quantitative Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. As an example, the concentration of Erlotinib, an anti-EGFR small molecule, used for the treatment of non-small cell lung and pancreatic cancer, is determined. The numerous side effects and the variability of patient responses make Erlotinib a good candidate for monitoring. The new SERS based sensor can estimate Erlotinib down to nanomolar concentration and is based on the chemical reaction of the drug and of a competitor SERS reporter on the surface of gold nanostructures. Colloid solutions of naked gold nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation in solution were used for obtaining nanostructures with very efficient hot spots for SERS and with a clean surface for chemistry. Detection of the drug in the nanomolar concentration range is shown to be possible also in spiked plasma samples.
