Tricyclic acridone derivatives have been extensively developed as antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antitumor drugs due to their broad spectrum of drug design and biological activity. In this study, we developed a surfactant-like acridone scaffold that contained two vinylpyridines and a dodecyl pyridine chain. The acridone scaffold decorated the dodecyl pyridine chain by N-bromosuccinimide reagent. The surfactant-like core scaffold incorporated with 4-vinylpyridines at the 2- and 7-positions via a Heck coupling reaction. Subsequently, the acridone derivatives were methylated onto these pyridine groups. Here we developed two similar acridone derivatives, MedAcd12C and MedAcd12P. The MedAcd12C incorporated two pyridine groups, and MedAcd12P incorporated three pyridine groups. MedAcd12C and MedAcd12P have two identical vinylpyridines and the different anchor tails at the N10 position. Their physicochemical properties, cell compatibility, and photoluminescence were demonstrated. Although both compounds have no fluorescence emission in water solution, MedAcd12P and MedAcd12C significantly appeared with orange light emission in the cellular imaging. We suggested that the surfactant-like scaffold promoted the drugs’ self-assembly and caused the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) after cellular uptake. This innovative design endowed acridone derivatives with an AIE and traceability for cell imaging.

A series of bicyclic alkylamino carbenes (BICAAC) (where N-aryl = dipp, mes, 2,6-dimethyl-4-(dimethylamino)phenyl, 5a-d) and their novel air- and moisture-resistant pyridine (pyridine, 4 dimethylaminopyridine) containing palladium PEPPSI-type Pd(II) complexes (6a-e) were synthetized and characterized. The new palladium complexes have shown high activity in Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction even at as low as 100 ppm loading (TON up to 10000). Kinetic studies revealed that reactions carried out in the presence of elemental mercury resulted in decrease in activity. It indicates that the coupling reaction may have both molecular and Pd(0)-mediated catalytic paths.

Cancer is one of the major diseases threatening human health. Traditional cancer treatments have notable side-effects as they can damage the immune system. Recently, phototherapy, as a potential strategy for clinical cancer therapy, has received wide attention due to its minimal invasiveness and high efficiency. Herein, a small organic molecule (PTA) with a D-A-D structure was prepared via a Sonogashira coupling reaction between the electron-withdrawing dibromo-perylenediimide and electron-donating 4-ethynyl-N,N-diphenylaniline. The amphiphilic organic molecule was then transformed into nanoparticles (PTA-NPs) through the self-assembling method. Upon laser irradiation at 635 nm, PTA-NPs displayed a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE = 43%) together with efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The fluorescence images also indicated the production of ROS in cancer cells with PTA-NPs. In addition, the biocompatibility and photocytotoxicity of PTA-NPs were evaluated by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and live/dead cell co-staining test. Therefore, the as-prepared organic nanomaterials were demonstrated as promising nanomaterials for cancer phototherapy in the clinic.
