Glad to share our last studies in collaboration with Viktor Brabec. Photoactivatable Ir(III) Compound Penetrates the Blood-Brain Barrier in 3D Spheroidal and Advanced 3D Organoid Models of Inherently Resistant and Aggressive Brain Tumors | ACS Pharmacol & Transl Science pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Photoactivatable Cyclometalated Ir(III) Compound Penetrates the Blood-Brain Barrier in 3D Spheroidal and Advanced 3D Organoid Models of Inherently Resistant and Aggressive Brain Tumors

The blood-brain barrier represents a significant challenge in delivering anticancer drugs for glioblastoma treatment. The study investigates the potential of a series of octahedral photoactivatable cyclometalated iridium complexes (Ir1–Ir10) with the general formula [Ir(ttpy)(C∧N)Cl]PF6 as photoactivated therapy candidates for the treatment of this aggressive tumor. These complexes, which include the terdentate ligand 4′-(p-tolyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (ttpy), and a C∧N ligand based on the deprotonated 2-arylbenzimidazole backbone, were tested on human glioblastoma using 2D cell cultures and 3D spheroidal models, including a fusion system comprising cerebral organoids from nonmalignant human-induced pluripotent stem cells and spheroids derived from malignant brain cells. The iridium complexes catalyze NADH photooxidation and photogenerate 1O2 and/or •OH under blue light irradiation. Blood-brain barrier penetration was assessed using various in vitro models. The complex Ir4, containing deprotonated methyl 1-butyl-2-phenylbenzimidazolecarboxylate, shows promise for targeted therapy of resistant brain tumors when photoactivated with blue light. Ir4 induces rapid and sustained ROS-mediated cytotoxicity and selectively accumulates in tumor tissue. This suggests its potential for fluorescently guided-PDT cooperative resection of glioblastoma. Notably, Ir4 significantly reduces glioblastoma growth even under dark conditions compared to conventional Temozolomide treatment without affecting healthy brain tissue.

Honored to give an invited talk at @isbomc25.bsky.social in Paris on iridium-based photodynamic therapy for cancer. Huge thanks to the organizers for the opportunity! @gassergroup.bsky.social

How International is the International Symposium on BioOrganometallic Chemistry ? 30 countries from all continents are represented! The first four talks of this morning session already made us jump from Houston, to Paris, to Cape Town, to Macau!

What a beautiful sunny day in Paris, perfect for a group picture! (@chimieparistechpsl.bsky.social Library is also a nice setting for an inside group picture).

Prof. Maria Contel @contellab.bsky.social starts the 3rd day, discussing gold complexes for anticancer applications and showcasing the many modes of action they can exert.

The first pictures of the conference are online, food science and smiles! isbomc25.sciencesconf.org/resource/pag...
