Fluorophores based on the 4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene (aka boron dipyrromethene,
boron dipyrrin, or BODIPY) platform have found diverse applications in different fields of …

Advances in imaging techniques now make it feasible to do things that were not previously
possible. Experiments in which interacting proteins are observed inside living cells are now …

We report a ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on monochlorinated BODIPY for highly
selective detection of glutathione (GSH) over cysteine (Cys)/homocysteine (Hcy). The …

A chlorinated coumarin-hemicyanine dye with three potential reaction sites was exploited as
fluorescent probe for biothiols. The Cys-induced substitution–rearrangement–cyclization …

The need for understanding essential recognition events in chemistry and biology has
directed considerable efforts toward the development of chemical probes. Fluorescent …

In this review we describe the various new methodologies for synthetic postmodification of
the BODIPY core designed and developed by our research groups, as well as their …

In situ monitoring of intracellular thiol activity in cell growth and function is highly desirable.
However, the discriminative detection of glutathione (GSH) from cysteine (Cys) and …

We present the synthesis, photophysical properties, and biological application of nontoxic 3-
azo-conjugated BODIPY dyes as masked fluorescent biosensors of hypoxia-like conditions …

Halogenated BODIPYs are important synthetic precursors and potential sensitizers for
photodynamic therapy (PDT). Electrophilic bromination of pyrrolic-unsubstituted BODIPYs …

A turn-on fluorescent sensor for the discrimination of cystein from homocystein and
