With singlet oxygen (1O2) as the active agent, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising
technique for the treatment of various tumors and cancers. But it is hampered by the poor …

In this paper, a unique water-soluble heptamethine cyanine dye as NIR photosensitizer was
synthesized to explore its properties associated with potential applications in photodynamic …

Over the past few decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has evolved as a minimally
invasive treatment modality offering precise control over cancer and various other diseases …

A series of amino organophosphorus imidazoles were designed and synthesized as a novel
structural type of antimicrobial agents. Bioactive evaluation in vitro showed that compound 3f …

Herein, we developed a dual-activated prodrug, BTC, that contains three functional
components: a glutathione (GSH)-responsive BODIPY-based photosensitizer with a …

Targeted drug delivery is currently emerging as a promising approach to overcome the limits
of currently employed administration techniques. The most convenient methodology to …

Listeria innocua DNA binding protein from starved cells (LiDps) belongs to the ferritin family
and provides a promising self-assembling spherical 12-mer protein scaffold for the …

We established a light‐activatable prodrug strategy that produces the combination effect of
photodynamic therapy (PDT) and site‐specific chemotherapy. Prodrugs are activated by …

The electrochemical characterization and synthetic procedures of novel
metallophthalocyanines (Co, Cu and Mn) 5, 6 and 7 fused eight N-(2, 3-dihydro-1, 5 …

Two new photoactive compounds (1 and 2) derived from the 9-amidoacridine chromophore
have been synthesized and fully characterized. Their abilities to produce singlet oxygen …
