Although boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based metallacycles are expected to be promising candidates for imaging probes and therapeutic agents, their biomedical applications are restricted by their short absorption/emission wavelengths. In this work, we report a rhombic metallacycle M with broad absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) range and emissions at wavelengths >800 nm, which exhibits an efficient photothermal conversion capacity. Metallacycle M was encapsulated via Pluronic F127 to fit the biotic environment, resulting in the generation of F127/M nanoparticles (NPs) with high hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. In vitro studies demonstrated that the F127/M NPs underwent efficient cellular uptake and exhibited satisfactory photothermal therapeutic activity. Furthermore, in vivo experiments revealed that tumor growth was effectively inhibited, and the degree of undesirable biological damage was minimal in treatment with F127/M NPs and laser irradiation. Finally, the F127/M NPs could be visualized through NIR fluorescence imaging in living mice, thereby allowing their distribution to be monitored in order to enhance treatment accuracy during photothermal therapy. We envision that such BODIPY-based metallacycles will provide emerging opportunities for the development of novel therapeutic agents for biomedical applications. |
