The aim of this study was to establish a drug delivery system (DDS) for marked therapy of tumors using a thermoresponsive polymer, polyoxazoline (POZ). The effectiveness of the following was investigated: (i) the delivery of gold nanorods (GNRs) to tumor tissues, (ii) heat production of GNR upon irradiation with near-infrared (NIR) light, and (iii) high accumulation of an intravenously injected radiolabeled POZ as a drug carrier in tumors by sensing heat produced by GNRs. When the GNR solution was irradiated with NIR light (808 nm), the solution temperature was increased both in a GNR-concentration-dependent manner and in a light-dose-dependent manner. POZ, with a lower critical solution temperature of 38 °C, was aggregated depending on the heat produced by the GNR irradiated by NIR light. When it was intratumorally pre-injected into colon26-tumor-bearing mice, followed by NIR light irradiation (GNR+/Light+ group), the tumor surface temperature increased to approximately 42 °C within 5 min. Fifteen minutes after irradiation with NIR light, indium-111 (111In)-labeled POZ was intravenously injected into tumor-bearing mice, and the radioactivity distribution was evaluated. The accumulation of POZ in the tumor was significantly (approximately 4-fold) higher than that in the control groups (GNR+/without NIR light irradiation (Light–), without injection of GNR (GNR–)/Light+, and GNR–/Light– groups). Furthermore, an in vivo confocal fluorescence microscopy study, using fluorescence-labeled POZ, revealed that uptake of POZ by the tumor could be attributed to the heat produced by GNR. In conclusion, we successfully established a novel DDS in which POZ could be efficiently delivered into tumors by using the heat produced by GNR irradiated with NIR light.

Bactericidal Effects

An upsurge in the multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pestilence is a global cause for concern in terms of human health. Lately, nanomaterials with photothermal effects have assisted in the efficient killing of MDR bacteria, attributable to their uncommon plasmonic, photocatalytic, and structural properties. Examinations of substantial amounts of photothermally enabled nanomaterials have shown bactericidal effects in an optimized time under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. In this review, we have compiled recent advances in photothermally enabled nanomaterials for antibacterial activities and their mechanisms. Photothermally enabled nanomaterials are classified into three groups, including metal-, carbon-, and polymer-based nanomaterials. Based on substantial accomplishments with photothermally enabled nanomaterials, we have inferred current trends and their prospective clinical applications.

Driving rapid polymerizations with visible to near-infrared (NIR) light will enable nascent technologies in the emerging fields of bio- and composite-printing. However, current photopolymerization strategies are limited by long reaction times, high light intensities, and/or large catalyst loadings. Improving efficiency remains elusive without a comprehensive, mechanistic evaluation of photocatalysis to better understand how composition relates to polymerization metrics. With this objective in mind, a series of methine- and aza-bridged boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives were synthesized and systematically characterized to elucidate key structure-property relationships that facilitate efficient photopolymerization driven by visible to NIR light. For both BODIPY scaffolds, halogenation was shown as a general method to increase polymerization rate, quantitatively characterized using a custom real-time infrared spectroscopy setup. Furthermore, a combination of steady-state emission quenching experiments, electronic structure calculations, and ultrafast transient absorption revealed that efficient intersystem crossing to the lowest excited triplet state upon halogenation was a key mechanistic step to achieving rapid photopolymerization reactions. Unprecedented polymerization rates were achieved with extremely low light intensities (< 1 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>) and catalyst loadings (< 50 μM), exemplified by reaction completion within 60 seconds of irradiation using green, red, and NIR light-emitting diodes.

Due to the unique properties of lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) under near-infrared (NIR) light, the last decade has shown a sharp progress in their biomedicine applications. Advances in the techniques for polymer, dye, and bio-molecule conjugation on the surface of the nanoparticles has further expanded their dynamic opportunities for optogenetics, oncotherapy and bioimaging. In this account, considering the primary benefits such as the absence of photobleaching, photoblinking, and autofluorescence of UCNPs not only facilitate the construction of accurate, sensitive and multifunctional nanoprobes, but also improve therapeutic and diagnostic results. We introduce, with the basic knowledge of upconversion, unique properties of UCNPs and the mechanisms involved in photon upconversion and discuss how UCNPs can be implemented in biological practices. In this focused review, we categorize the applications of UCNP-based various strategies into the following domains: neuromodulation, immunotherapy, drug delivery, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Herein, we also discuss the current emerging bioapplications with cutting edge nano-/biointerfacing of UCNPs. Finally, this review provides concluding remarks on future opportunities and challenges on clinical translation of UCNPs-based nanotechnology research.
