G-quadruplex (G4) is the non-canonical secondary structure of DNA and RNA formed by guanine-rich sequences. G4-forming sequences are abundantly located in telomeric regions and in the promoter and untranslated regions (UTR) of cancer-related genes, such as RAS and MYC. Extensive research has suggested that G4 is a potential molecular target for cancer therapy. Here, we reviewed G4 ligands as photosensitizers for cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is a minimally invasive therapeutic approach. The photosensitizers, such as porphyrins, were found to be highly toxic against cancer cells via the generation of reactive oxidative species (ROS) upon photo-irradiation. Several porphyrin derivatives and analogs, such as phthalocyanines, which can generate ROS upon photo-irradiation, have been reported to act as G4 ligands. Therefore, they have been implicated as promising photosensitizers that can selectively break down cancer-related DNA and RNA forming G4. In this review, we majorly focused on the potential application of G4 ligands as photosensitizers, which would provide a novel strategy for PDT, especially molecularly targeted PDT (mtPDT).

This research work presents a facile and green route for synthesis silver sulfide (Ag2SNPs) nanoparticles from silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium sulfide nonahydrate (Na2S.9H2O) in the presence of rosemary leaves aqueous extract at ambient temperature (27 oC). Structural and morphological properties of Ag2SNPs nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The surface Plasmon resonance for Ag2SNPs was obtained around 355 nm. Ag2SNPs was spherical in shape with an effective diameter size of 14 nm. Our novel approach represents a promising and effective method to large scale synthesis of eco-friendly antibacterial activity silver sulfide nanoparticles.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment for cancer that has been recently accepted in the clinic. In this study, we examined a biological significance of PDT with a chlorin-based photosensitizer, Photodithazine, on cervical cancer model. When human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)- transformed mouse TC-1 cells were exposed to varied doses of Photodithazine with light irradiation (6.25 J/cm2), the significant growth inhibition of TC-1 cells was observed at 0.75 μg/mL of Photodithazine. The damaged cells by Photodithazine/PDT were categorized to be early and late apoptosis, as determined by annexin V staining. Photodithazine was primarily localized at lysosome apparatus within TC-1 cells while it was rapidly accumulated and sustained for initial 3 h in tumor tissue of TC-1 tumor bearing mice after IV injection. The tumor growth inhibition by Photodithazine/PDT with light irradiation (300 J/cm2) was examined after injection of various concentration of Photodithazine in tumor mice system. Our results show that Photodithazine/PDT might have significant advantages in the selective killing of tumor lesions in HPV 16 E6/E7 associated cervical cancer model, both in vitro and in vivo.
