The Photosensitizer Temoporfin (mTHPC) - Chemical, Pre-clinical and Clinical Developments in the Last Decade†‡

Arno Wiehe et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the research, development, and clinical applications of the photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC, temoporfin) in photodynamic (cancer) therapy (PDT) and other medical applications. The review covers the chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical applications of temoporfin, including the formulation development such as liposomal formulations. The literature covered spans from 2009 to early 2022 and is connected to a previous extensive review on this photosensitizer, which traces its development, approval, and clinical application.

Immunogenic cell stress and death

Guido Kroemer et al.

Summary: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) plays an important role in therapy and disease, as dying mammalian cells release signals that interact with the host to determine the immunological correlates of cellular stress and death. ICD is crucial in immunosurveillance and is related to strategies evolved by pathogens and cancer cells. Additionally, normal cell death can also initiate antigen-specific immune responses.

One-Photon and Two-Photon Photophysical Properties of Tetrafunctionalized 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (Temoporfin) Derivatives as Potential Two-Photon-Induced Photodynamic Therapy Agents

Piotr Gierlich et al.

Summary: This study utilized the second-generation photosensitizer m-THPC as a starting point to obtain a library of compounds with improved optical properties through substitution, esterification, and Sonogashira coupling reactions. By enhancing the two-photon absorption cross-section through modification of the m-THPC skeleton, tetrafunctionalized m-THPC derivatives showed promise for application in two-photon induced PDT.

Unraveling the Pivotal Role of Atropisomerism for Cellular Internalization

Claire Donohoe et al.

Summary: The challenge of large molecules crossing cell membranes has hindered the development of new medicines. However, this study shows that altering the atropisomers of a drug can improve cell uptake and therapeutic efficacy. The most effective atropisomer is able to optimize hydrogen bonding with membrane phospholipids, leading to increased cellular uptake and phototoxicity. These findings highlight the importance of atropisomerism in drug development and provide new insights for designing efficient cell-penetrating drugs.

Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogels for Cancer Treatment: The Role of pH, Light, Ionic Strength and Magnetic Field

Fernanda Andrade et al.

Summary: Cancer remains the second leading cause of death globally, with the major obstacles in treatment being chemotherapy side effects and drug resistance. Research is ongoing to develop new formulations for localized drug delivery at tumor sites to improve treatment outcomes. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels, such as pH-, light-, ionic strength-, and magnetic-responsive hydrogels, show promising results in the localized control and treatment of cancer.

Enhancement of innate and adaptive anti-tumor immunity by serum obtained from vascular photodynamic therapy-cured BALB/c mouse

Ying Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that photodynamic therapy can not only kill tumor cells directly but also trigger an anti-tumor immune response. The serum from VPDT-cured mice possesses immunomodulatory properties, stimulating cytokine secretions and activating immune cells. Additionally, the VPDT-cured mice exhibit varying degrees of resistance against challenges from different types of tumor cells.

Daoming Zhu et al.

Summary: The ARC system developed in this study converts near-infrared laser into heat, releases AIEgens, drives the decomposition of endogenous hydrogen peroxide, generates sufficient oxygen for high levels of reactive oxygen species to induce tumor cell cytotoxicity, and the hydrogel can persist for at least 48 hours, supporting multiple rounds of treatment.

An ROS-sensitive tegafur-PpIX-heterodimer-loaded in situ injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for photodynamic therapy combined with chemotherapy to enhance the tegafur-based treatment of breast cancer

Zhiqiang Zhang et al.

Summary: Researchers prepared a biomimetic and thermosensitive hydrogel encapsulating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive tegafur (TF)-protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) heterodimers (TTP) to synergize chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy for breast cancer treatment. This innovative approach overcame major obstacles in breast cancer treatment and opened up new paths for treatment.
