Here we report the DNA photocleavage abilities of near-infrared (NIR) quinolinium
pentamethine carbocyanine dyes substituted with either bromine, chlorine, or hydrogen at …

Here, we report the syntheses of two pentamethine cyanine dyes containing quinolinium
rings and substituted with either hydrogen (3) or bromine (4) at the meso carbon. The …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment method in which a photosensitizer, light
of a particular wavelength, and also oxygen are used to destroy cancerous cells. Cancer …

Here we report the synthesis of seven symmetrical carbocyanine dyes in which two nitrogen-
substituted benz [e] indolium rings are joined by a pentamethine bridge that is meso …

We have synthesized symmetrical carbocyanine dyes in which two 4-quinolinium rings are
joined by a pentamethine bridge that is meso-substituted with H or Cl. Irradiation of the …

This thesis outlines a review of the history, synthetic procedures, optical properties, and
applications of quinoline-containing cyanine dyes in the first chapter. The second chapter …

Carbocyanine dyes are a class of organic compounds with high conjugation that enable
them to act as photosensitizing agents in photodynamic therapy (PDT). These compounds …

A series of hemicyanine dyes was synthesized starting from the vinyl chloride-based
cyanine dye IR-780. The dyes absorbed and emitted in the near-infrared region, while heavy …

We report the DNA photocleavage abilities of GEO30 and GEO31, near-infrared (NIR) donor-
π-acceptor fluorophores (D-π-A) with a chloroacrylic acid acceptor linked to an indole donor …

Herein, we report the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of novel Near Infra-Red
(NIR) pentamethine cyanine dyes, as potential photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy …
