TPP-Ce6
TPP-Ce6 is a mitochondria-targeted photosensitizer formed by the ester bond conjugation of chlorophyll e6 (Ce6) with triphenylphosphine (TPP). Under light irradiation or ultrasound exposure, TPP-Ce6 generates reactive oxygen species, induces cell apoptosis, and triggers immunogenic cell death. TPP-Ce6 can serve as a component of carrier-free co-delivery systems, undergo enzyme-induced self-assembly within tumors, and modulate tumor hypoxia. TPP-Ce6 is applicable to research on breast cancer and glioblastoma.

Biologische Aktivität
TPP-Ce6 (0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent); 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h) exhibits rapid, time-dependent cellular uptake by 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells, with greater uptake efficiency than free Ce6 but lower efficiency than TPP-Ce6@siPD-L1 NPs at all tested time points (2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h) at a concentration of 0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent)[1].
TPP-Ce6 (0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent); 12 h treatment, 5 min 660 nm laser irradiation (15 mW/cm2), 2 h post-irradiation incubation) induces significant intracellular ROS generation in 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells when activated by 660 nm light (15 mW/cm2 for 5 min) following 12 h treatment at 0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent), with greater ROS generation than free Ce6 but lower generation than TPP-Ce6@siPD-L1 NPs[1].
TPP-Ce6 (0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent); 6 h treatment, 30 min Mito-Tracker Green incubation) effectively targets the mitochondria of 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells, with a higher colocalization Pearson correlation coefficient (0.645) than free Ce6 but a lower coefficient than TPP-Ce6@siPD-L1 NPs following 6 h treatment at 0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent)[1].
TPP-Ce6 (0.1-0.6 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent); 6 h treatment, 10 min 660 nm laser irradiation (15 mW/cm2), 2 h post-irradiation incubation) exhibits low dark cytotoxicity (cell viability >95% at all concentrations) and concentration-dependent light-activated cytotoxicity in 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells, with greater cytotoxicity than free Ce6 but lower cytotoxicity than TPP-Ce6@siPD-L1 NPs under 660 nm light irradiation (15 mW/cm2 for 10 min) following 6 h treatment at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent)[1].
TPP-Ce6 (0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent); 6 h treatment, 5 min 660 nm laser irradiation (15 mW/cm2), 30 min MPTP reagent incubation) activates mitochondrial permeability transition pores in 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells when activated by 660 nm light (15 mW/cm2 for 5 min) following 6 h treatment at 0.3 μg/mL (Ce6 equivalent), with a more pronounced effect than free Ce6 but a less pronounced effect than TPP-Ce6@siPD-L1 NPs[1].
TPP-Ce6 (TCe6) (4 h treatment; 30 min staining) effectively targets mitochondria in GL261 and U87 glioblastoma cells, as demonstrated by co-localization with MitoTracker Green FM[3].
TPP-Ce6 functions as a sonosensitizer in a cell-free system, with enhanced ROS generation when encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EVs) upon US irradiation[4].
TPP-Ce6 (10 μM (Ce6 equivalent); 4 h) shows significantly lower cellular uptake than EV-encapsulated TPP-Ce6 in both MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and hDFB human dermal fibroblast cells[4].
TPP-Ce6 (10 μM (Ce6 equivalent); 4 h pretreatment) induces mitochondrial membrane depolarization in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells upon US irradiation, with enhanced mitochondrial damage when encapsulated in EVs, and maximal depolarization when co-encapsulated with PL in EVs[4].
TPP-Ce6 (10 μM (Ce6 equivalent); 4 h pretreatment, 8 h post-US incubation) induces apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells upon US irradiation, with a higher total apoptotic rate observed when TPP-Ce6 is co-encapsulated with PL in EVs and combined with US[4].
TPP-Ce6 effectively targets MCF-7 breast cancer cell mitochondria, enhances ROS production under US irradiation, and when encapsulated in EVs with PL, achieves synergistic chemo-sonodynamic therapy efficacy via amplified ROS generation[5].

Result:Caused significant reduction in cell viability for both MCF-7 and hDFB cells when combined with US.
Exhibited the most substantial cytotoxicity in both cell lines with T80(T-Ce6/PL) plus US, with significantly greater viability reduction in MCF-7 cells compared to hDFB cells.
TPP-Ce6 (1.71 μmol/kg; i.v. via tail vein; single dose; followed by 660-nm laser irradiation 4 hours post-injection) inhibits orthotopic glioblastoma growth in athymic mice, with tumor growth suppression significantly less potent than bEV(TPP-Ce6)+L, and causes no systemic toxicity[2].
TPP-Ce6 (2 mg/kg; i.v.; single injection via tail vein) followed by NIR light irradiation suppresses orthotopic glioblastoma multiforme growth, induces cuproptosis, activates the cGAS-STING immune pathway, and enhances systemic anti-tumor immunity in male C57BL/6 mice with minimal systemic toxicity[3].
TPP-Ce6 (2 mg/kg; i.v.; single injection via tail vein) followed by NIR light irradiation induces glioblastoma multiforme regression, suppresses distant tumor growth, activates systemic anti-tumor immunity, and exhibits low systemic toxicity in male C57BL/6 mice[3].
Free TPP-Ce6 (0.8 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) combined with ultrasound provides moderate tumor growth inhibition, reducing tumor volume to ~125% of baseline by day 20 without systemic toxicity[4].
