Accurately locating and eradicating sporadically distributed cancer cells whilst
minimizing damage to adjacent normal tissues is vital in image-guided tumor
ablation. In this work, we developed four heptamethine cyanine based theranostic
probes, IR1-4, that demonstrated unique pH switchable near-infrared (NIR)
fluorescence and photothermal efficiency. While their fluorescence quantum yields
increased up to 1020-fold upon acidification from pH 7.4 to 2.4, their
photothermal efficiencies decreased up to 7.1-fold concomitantly. Theoretical
calculations showed that protonation of the probes in an acidic environment
increased the orbital energy gaps and reduced the intramolecular charge transfer
efficiency, resulting in the conversion of absorbed light energy to NIR
fluorescence instead of hyperthermia. Substitutions at the terminal indole of the
probes fine-tuned their pKa(fluo) values to a narrow physiological pH range of
4.0-5.3. IR2, with a pKa(fluo) of 4.6, not only specifically illuminated cancer
cells by sensing their more acidic lysosomal lumen, but also selectively ablated
cancer cells via its maximized photothermal effects in the alkaline mitochondrial
matrix. As far as we are aware, these probes not only offer the highest
physiological acidity triggered NIR fluorescence enhancement as small molecules,
but are also the first to specifically visualize and eradicate cancer cells by
sensing their altered pH values in cellular organelles. Considering that a
disordered pH in organelle lumen is a common characteristic of cancer cells,
these theranostic probes hold the promise to be applied in image-guided tumor
ablation over a wide range of tumor subtypes.
