Singlet oxygen, although integral to photodynamic therapy, is notoriously uncontrollable,
suffers from poor selectivity and has fast decomposition rates in biological media. Across the …

“Click and Photo-unclick Chemistry” of aminoacrylates is proposed for a new photo-labile
linker. Adducts are built in 2 steps with good yields and cleaved rapidly by tissue penetrable …

This review covers photochemical approaches aimed at supplementing surgical instruments
with handheld photodynamic therapy (PDT) instruments. PDT is not widely used in hospitals …

We examined the concept of a novel prodrug strategy in which anticancer drug can be
locally released by visible/near IR light, taking advantage of the photodynamic process and …

We recently developed “photo-unclick chemistry”, a novel chemical tool involving the
cleavage of aminoacrylate by singlet oxygen, and demonstrated its application to visible …

Photo-unclick chemistry mediates visible and near IR-controlled drug release via a singlet
oxygen (SO)-cleavable linker. Due to the limited diffusion distance of SO in biological …

The usefulness of a fiber optic technique for generating singlet oxygen and releasing the
pheophorbide photosensitizer has been increased by the fluorination of the porous Vycor …

A portable “fiber optic‐based sensitizer delivery”(FOSD) device has been developed and
studied. Before there might be success in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and antibacterial …

Laser-coupled microphotoreactors were developed to bubble singlet oxygen [1O2 (1Δg)]
into an aqueous solution containing an oxidizable compound. The reactors consisted of …

We describe a physical–organic study of two fluoropolymers bearing a photoreleasable
PEGylated photosensitizer that generates 1O2 (1Δg)[chlorin e6 methoxy tri (ethylene glycol) …
