  • Publication number: 20240156990
    Abstract: The invention provides a 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin drug precursor with fluorescence activity and a preparation method and use thereof. The method involves that a carboxyl group of a boron dipyrromethene dye molecule is condensed with a hydroxyl group at the 10 position of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin, yielding a 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin drug precursor (BDP-SN38) with fluorescent activity. BDP-SN38 shows good solubility and stability in most pharmaceutically acceptable solvents. Compared with SN38, BDP-SN38 exhibits comparable antitumor activity, has high tumor uptake capacity, and produces strong green fluorescence with the excitation of visible light, thus providing fluorescence-guided bioimaging and further treatment of residual tumors after drug treatment, and having good application prospects in the research of integrated diagnosis and treatment and effective tumor treatment.

The earphone body is provided with an audio source, and the support frame is installed on the earphone body and corresponds to the audio source. When in use, the support frame is configured to be firmly plugged into the cavum concha of the wearer to allow the earphone body to be worn on the ear of the wearer. The audio source corresponds to the ear canal of the wearer through the support frame, so that the sound emitted from the audio source is transmitted into the ear canal through the support frame. The audio source is directly opposite of the ear canal through the support frame to shorten the distance between the audio source and the ear canal.

  • Patent number: 11957752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of photosensitizers, and particularly to a near-infrared nano-photosensitizer and a preparation method and use thereof. The near-infrared nano-photosensitizer in the present invention is modified by conjugation extension of the boron dipyrromethene core, achieving absorption and emission spectra close to the near-infrared region. A polyfluoroalkyl group and a polyethylene glycol group are introduced to the boron dipyrromethene structure to obtain an amphiphilic photosensitizer. By means of the strong fluorine-fluorine interaction between the polyfluoroalkyl group and the hydrophilic interaction of the polyethylene glycol group, a nano-photosensitive micelle with an ultra-low CMC value is ultimately constructed. Boron dipyrromethene is induced by fluorine-fluorine interaction to undergo J-aggregation, causing the maximum absorption peak to red-shift to the near-infrared region, beneficial to the deep phototherapy of tumors.
