Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) representation of a tumor with respect to its size, shape, location, and boundaries is still a challenge in photoacoustic (PA) imaging using artificial contrast agents as probes. We carried out PA imaging of tumors in mice using 800RS-PMPC, which was obtained by coupling of 800RS, a near-infrared cyanine dye, with PMPC, a highly selective tumor-targeting methacrylate polymer having phosphorylcholine side chains, as a probe. The conjugate 800RS-PMPC forms compact nanoparticles (dDLS = 14.3 nm), retains the biocompatibility of the parent polymer (PMPC) and exhibits unprecedented PA performance. When applied to mice bearing a 6 × 3 × 3 mm3 tumor buried 6 mm beneath the skin, the probe 800RS-PMPC selectively accumulates in the tumor and emits PA signals that are strong enough to be unambiguously distinguished from noise signals of endogenous blood/hemoglobin. The PA image thus obtained under high-threshold conditions allows 3D characterization of the tumor in terms of its size, shape, location, and boundaries.

Self-assembled nanostructures arise when building blocks spontaneously organize into ordered aggregates that exhibit different properties compared to the disorganized monomers. Here, we study an amphiphilic cyanine dye (C8S3) that is known to self-assemble into doublewalled, hollow, nanotubes with interesting optical properties. The molecular packing of the dyes inside the nanotubes, however, remains elusive. To reveal the structural features of the C8S3 nanotubes, we performed atomistic Molecular Dynamics simulations of preformed bilayers and nanotubes. We find that different packing arrangements lead to stable structures, in which the tails of the C8S3 molecules are interdigitated. Our results are verified by SAXS experiments. Together our data provide a detailed structural characterization of the C8S3 nanotubes. Furthermore, our approach was able to resolve the ambiguity inherent from cryo-TEM measurements in calculating the wall thickness of similar systems. The insights obtained are expected to be generally useful for understanding and designing other supramolecular assemblies.<br>
