To overcome the drawbacks associated with chemotherapeutic and porphyrin-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents, use of BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) scaffold has gained prominence towards designing new generation photosensitizers-cum-cellular imaging agents. However, their poor cell permeability limited solubility in aqueous medium inhibits in-vitro application organic form. This necessitates development metal-BODIPY conjugates improved physiological stability enhanced therapeutic...
The photophysical properties of boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes have made them suitable for cellular imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT). efficacy these can be augmented by designing their dibromo/diiodo derivatives.
