Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been a preferred clinical technology for treating superficial
tumors due to its advantages of high selectivity, non-invasiveness and negligible drug …

Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a biologically relevant reactive oxygen species capable of efficiently
reacting with cellular constituents. The resulting oxidatively generated damage to nucleic …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established treatment option in the treatment of
certain cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. Though best-known for its application in …

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

Singlet oxygen can be generated by thermal cycloreversion of aromatic endoperoxides.
However, for any practical potential of chemically generated singlet oxygen within a …

We report the visible‐light‐mediated synthesis of β‐chloro ketones from aryl cyclopropanes,
oxygen, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid. The operationally simple and catalyst‐free method …

Here, a methacrylate-modified pyridone derivative (mPYR) was loaded into a porphyrin
nanoscale metal–organic framework (porphyrin-nMOF). Then, the loaded mPYR was further …

Chemodynamic therapy can convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at tumor
localization into the toxic hydroxyl radical (˙ OH) destroying tumor cells. Photodynamic …

Commercial photosensitizers (PSs) present great potential in the field of clinical
photodynamic therapy (PDT) yet face a formidable challenge owing to the extremely short …

A new diphenylanthracene derivative (bis (5-cyanopentyl) 4, 4′-(anthracene-9, 10-diyl)
dibenzoate) has been designed and synthesized, which can form a host–guest complex with …
