An adaptable approach toward cleavable nano particle carrier systems for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is presented, comprising a biocompatible carrier loaded with multiple photosensitizer (PS) molecules related to the clinically employed PS Temoporfin, two linkers cleavable under different triggers and glyco-targeting with mannose. A synthetic pathway to stimuli responsive hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG) porphyrin conjugates via the copper(I)catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) or the strain promoted alkyne azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) has been developed. The PS 10,15,20-tris(3-hydroxypheny1)-5(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin was functionalized with disulfide containing cystamine and acid-labile benzacetal linkers. Conjugates with reductively and pH labile linkers were thus obtained. Cleavage of the active PS agents from the polymer carrier is shown in several different release studies. The uptake of the conjugates into the cells is demonstrated via confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and flow cytometry. Finally, the antitumor and antibacterial phototoxicity of selected conjugates has been assessed in four different tumor cell lines and in cultures of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The conjugates exhibited phototoxicity in several tumor cell lines in which conjugates with reductively cleavable linkers were more efficient compared to conjugates with acid -cleavable linkers. For S. aureus, strong phototoxicity was observed for a combination of the reductively cleavable and the pH labile linker and likewise for the cleavable conjugate with mannose targeting groups. The results thus suggest that the conjugates have potential for antitumor as well as antibacterial PDT.
