Abstract
Lysosomal enzymes and high accumulation of lipid droplets are associated with breast cancer. The lysosomes and lipid droplets were monitored by BODIPYs, acting as autophagy activators in cancer cells. BD-1 and BD-2 were synthesized and characterized by Mass, UV–visible, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopies. In BODIPYs, the effect of carbazole groups was reflected by the large Stokes shifts (2143–1651 cm–1) and red fluorescence. BODIPYs generated ROS and induced autophagy in triple negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) under white light. Confocal experiments revealed that BD-1 and BD-2 preferentially colocalized in lysosomes and lipid droplets. Autophagic lysosomes and lipid droplets released Ca2+ ions in the cytoplasm, which was evident with blue fluorescence of Fura-2M dye. In combination with an autophagy inhibitor, BD-1 displayed excellent photocytotoxicity (5.57 μM) on triple negative breast cancer cells under white light. This work demonstrates the potential of BODIPYs as theranostic agents for the photodynamic therapy against TNBC.
期刊介绍:
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to:
Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics)
Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery
Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc.
Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry
Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response
Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic
Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression
Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
