Cucurbit[7]uril-Anchored Porphyrin-Based Multifunctional Molecular Platform for Photodynamic Antimicrobial and Cancer Therapy

Abstract: Here we report a photoactive supramolecular assembly that is multifunctional and constructed by covalently linking four receptor molecules (cucurbit[7]uril) to a porphyrin derivative with suitable linkers. While this molecular platform serves very efficiently as a light-triggered broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, owing to its negligible dark cytotoxicity and the presence of host molecules (CB7), it can also be utilized as a vehicle to carry drug molecules for a combined chemo and photodynamic cancer therapy.

“…Another CB [ n ]-porphyrin conjugation was then reported by our group in 2019 in which the monohydroxyl- CB [7] was conjugated to 4­(TEG-OH)-TPP core. The as-prepared assembly was employed for electrophotocatalytic hydrogen generation from water splitting as well as photodynamic antibacterial and cancer therapy. , In the present paper, we report a CB[6] and porphyrin-based covalent organic framework. We first synthesized CB6­(O–P) n by direct functionalization of CB­[6] and then it was covalently attached to porphyrin core ( TPP-Zn-4N 3 ) through Cu-AAC click reaction to construct TPP-CB­[6] covalent organic framework.…”

“…To further potentiate the antibacterial activity, the system could be loaded effectively with drug molecules. As illustrated in Figure 5 , the system was synthesized by conjugation of cucurbit ( Omolo et al, 2018 ) uril shell, which acted as host for loaded drugs, to a free-base porphyrin core via suitable linkers ( Kumar et al, 2019 ; Özkan et al, 2019 ). While the resulting system exhibited no dark activity towards E. coli (gram-negative bacteria), it showed relatively high cytotoxicity on B. subtilis (gram-positive bacteria).…”

“…Finally, we evaluated the influence of the coating features (i.e., thickness, type of layer, polyelectrolyte functionalisation) on the antimicrobial activity of the prepared microcarriers against the Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Serratia marcescens) bacterial strains. The acquired beneficial physicochemical and biological properties of the fabricated microparticles could allow designing systems to deliver pharmaceuticals (e.g., CUR) by oral or intravesical administration in various ways of treatments, including antimicrobial and cancer therapies [28,29].…”
