Two-photon-absorption DNA sensitization via solvated electron production: unraveling photochemical pathways by molecular modeling and simulation
Literature Information
Elise Dumont
DNA photosensitization is one of the physical processes behind photodynamic therapy techniques, i.e. the combined use of photoactive drugs and visible radiation for therapeutical purposes. In this contribution we report the analysis of the photophysical properties of a two-photon absorption dye together with its interaction with DNA. The linear and non-linear optical properties are modeled taking into account the complex environment including dynamic and vibrational effects. It is also clearly demonstrated that the excited state manifold may evolve toward spontaneous photoionization with the production of a solvated electron. In turn both the radical cation and the solvated electron may react with the DNA backbone to produce a strand break; hence we have characterized a phototherapeutic dye that absorbs in the infrared region and is able to work under hypoxidic conditions, i.e. a prodrug of great interest for the potential treatment of solid tumors.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
