Photosensitizer-9 is an iridium (III)-based photosensitizer with anti-melanoma activity. Photosensitizer-9 exhibits significant phototoxicity (IC50=0.98 µM) and an ideal phototoxicity index (PI=3.05). Under light irradiation, Photosensitizer-9 generates large amounts of intracellular OH in an oxygen-independent manner. Photosensitizer-9 mediates photodynamic therapy under hypoxic conditions and synergistically activates PANoptosis (by upregulating cleaved Caspase-3, GSDMD-N, p-MLKL), ferroptosis (by disrupting the GSH-GPX4-LPO axis), apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis in melanoma cells. Photosensitizer-9 induces immunogenic cell death by promoting the release of damage-associated molecular patterns under hypoxic conditions and increases the maturation rate of dendritic cells. Photosensitizer-9 reduces tumor volume in melanoma-bearing mice. Photosensitizer-9 is applicable to relevant studies on melanoma[1].
