    A mitochondrion targeted and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activatable 1,2-dioxatane based chemiluminescent probe (MCL) for detection of LAP activity in living cancer cells and tumor bearing mice was reported. MCL displayed a selective and sensitive turn-on response in aqueous solutions upon reacting with the LAP enzyme. In cell culture studies, a selective luminescence intensity increase was observed in cancer cell lines, suggesting that MCL can differentiate between cancer and normal cells and allows detection of varying endogenous LAP concentrations. Using fluorescence imaging with a commercial Mitotracker dye, MCL was also shown to localize mitochondria in cancer cell lines. Furthermore, MCL was used to image tumors in mice models. MCL marks not only the first ever example of a mitochondria targeted chemiluminescent probe, but also the first ever example of an organelle targeted 1,2-dioxetane derivative. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Activity-based photosensitizers with optimized triplet state characteristics toward cancer cell selective and image guided photodynamic therapy
    (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2022) Elmazoğlu, Zübeyir; Kepil, Dilay; Etienne, Thibaud; Marion, Antoine; Günbaş, Görkem; Department of Chemistry; Kılıç, Eda; Almammadov, Toghrul; Kölemen, Safacan; Researcher; Faculty Member; Department of Chemistry; Koç University Surface Science and Technology Center (KUYTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Yüzey Teknolojileri Araştırmaları Merkezi (KUYTAM); Koç University Tüpraş Energy Center (KUTEM) / Koç Üniversitesi Tüpraş Enerji Merkezi (KÜTEM); Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; N/A; N/A; 272051
    Activity-based theranostic photosensitizers are highly attractive in photodynarnic therapy as they offer enhanced therapeutic outcome on cancer cells with an imaging opportunity at the same time. However, photosensitizers (PS) cores that can be easily converted to activity-based photosensitizers (aPSs) are still quite limited in the literature. In this study, we modified the dicyanomethylene-4H-chromene (DCM) core with a heavy iodine atom to get two different PSs (DCMo-I, I-DCMo-Cl) that can be further converted to aPS after simple modifications. The effect of iodine positioning on singlet oxygen generation capacity was also evaluated through computational studies. DCMo-I showed better performance in solution experiments and further proved to be a promising phototheranostic scaffold via cell culture studies. Later, a cysteine (Cys) activatable PS based on the DCMo-I core (DCMo-I-Cys) was developed, which induced selective photocytotoxicity along with a fluorescence turn-on response in Cys rich cancer cells.
