Intratumoral hypoxia extremely limits the clinic applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Endoperoxides allow thermally releasing singlet oxygen (1O2) in a defined quantity and offer promising opportunities for oxygen-independent PDT treatment of hypoxic tumors. However, previous composite systems by combining endoperoxides with photothermal reagents may result in unpredicted side effects and potential harmful impacts during therapy in vivo. Herein, we de novo design an all-in-one polymer carrier, which can photothermally release 1O2. The strategy has been demonstrated to effectively enhance the production of 1O2 and realize the photodamage in vitro, especially in hypoxic environment. Additionally, the polymer carrier accumulates into tumor after intravenous injection via the enhanced permeation and retention effects and accelerates the oxygen-independent generation of 1O2 in tumors. The oxidative damage results in good inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Realization of the strategy in vivo paves a new way to construct photothermal-triggered oxygen-independent therapeutic platform for clinical applications.

The design of modular protein logic for regulating protein function at the posttranscriptional level is a challenge for synthetic biology. Here, we describe the design of two-input AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XNOR, and NOT gates built from de novo–designed proteins. These gates regulate the association of arbitrary protein units ranging from split enzymes to transcriptional machinery in vitro, in yeast and in primary human T cells, where they control the expression of the TIM3 gene related to T cell exhaustion. Designed binding interaction cooperativity, confirmed by native mass spectrometry, makes the gates largely insensitive to stoichiometric imbalances in the inputs, and the modularity of the approach enables ready extension to three-input OR, AND, and disjunctive normal form gates. The modularity and cooperativity of the control elements, coupled with the ability to de novo design an essentially unlimited number of protein components, should enable the design of sophisticated posttranslational control logic over a wide range of biological functions.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Multi-Parameter Optimization (MPO) is a major challenge in New Chemical Entity (NCE) drug discovery projects, and the inability to identify molecules meeting all the criteria of lead optimization (LO) is an important cause of NCE project failure. Several ligand- and structure-based de novo design methods have been published over the past decades, some of which have proved useful multiobjective optimization. However, there is still need for improvement to better address the chemical feasibility of generated compounds as well as increasing the explored chemical space while tackling the MPO challenge. Recently, promising results have been reported for deep learning generative models applied to de novo molecular design, but until now, to our knowledge, no report has been made of the value of this new technology for addressing MPO in an actual drug discovery project. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the potential of a ligand-based de novo design technology using deep learning generative models to accelerate the discovery of an optimized lead compound meeting all in vitro late stage LO criteria. </p> </div> </div> </div>
