Organic Sonosensitizer-based Sonodynamic Therapy
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising non-invasive cancer treatment utilizing low-intensity ultrasound to activate chemical sonosensitizers, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that selectively destroy tumor cells. While organic sonosensitizers offer inherent advantages like biodegradability and controlled synthesis, they often face critical challenges such as poor water solubility, undesirable phototoxicity, and limited tumor targeting capacity. Creative Biolabs' service directly addresses these limitations by employing advanced chemical modifications and innovative delivery systems, thereby enhancing ROS generation, improving pharmacokinetics, and enabling precise tumor targeting, all supported by extensive published research and our deep scientific expertise.
Our Comprehensive Chemical Enhancement Strategies
Prodrug Design
Developing inactive prodrug forms that are activated specifically at the target site (e.g., by enzymes, pH changes, or ultrasound itself) to release the active sonosensitizer, thereby enhancing specificity and reducing systemic toxicity.
Molecular Engineering & Structural Modification
Rational design and synthesis of novel sonosensitizer molecules with optimized electronic properties, improved quantum yield for ROS generation, and enhanced stability. This includes incorporating specific functional groups or chromophores.
Conjugation Chemistry
Covalent attachment of sonosensitizers to targeting ligands (e.g., antibodies, peptides, aptamers), polymers (e.g., PEGylation for improved pharmacokinetics), or other therapeutic agents.

Publication
This publication introduces SDT as a promising, non-invasive cancer treatment that utilizes ultrasound (US) to activate sonosensitizers, generating ROS to damage cancer cells. Unlike photodynamic therapy (PDT), US offers deeper tissue penetration, making SDT favorable for deep-seated tumors.
The paper addresses the challenge of developing innovative sonosensitizers with high efficacy and biocompatibility. The authors synthesized a novel BODIPY-Zn complex, BSS-Zn, incorporating a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol unit, and investigated its potential as a sonosensitizer. BSS-Zn demonstrated enhanced ROS generation upon US irradiation, outperforming a control sensitizer (BSS, a Zn-free analog) and a commercial sonosensitizer (ZnPc), showing increased levels of hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, and superoxide. The study confirmed BSS-Zn's SDT effect on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, identifying specific intracellular ROS types and assessing cytotoxicity. This highlights BSS-Zn's potential as an innovative sonosensitizer, guiding the design of efficient new agents.
