A water-soluble near-infrared aminocyanine dye has been developed with a long triplet-
state lifetime (τ= 9.16 μs in deaerated ethanol). Thereby, extremely high singlet oxygen …

Cyanine are organic dyes bearing two Aza-heterocycles linked by a polymethine chain.
Excited states, fluorescence, redox activity, and energy transfer are interesting properties …

This study represents a novel phototheranostic nanoplatform based on the near-infrared
(NIR) heptamethine cyanine dye, IR775, which is capable of concurrent real-time …

Abstract The phthalonitrile compounds 4-(3-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl) phenoxy) phthalonitrile
(3a) and 3-(3-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl) phenoxy) phthalonitrile (3b), peripherally tetra …

DNA binding and photoinduced DNA cleaving properties of water-soluble naphthyridine
derivative 1 were investigated. The photoinduced cleavage of DNA was studied by both …

Previously, we reported that coralyne and UVA combination sensitized a wide range of
human carcinoma cells regardless of their p53 status. The coralyne induced …

The association of the naphtho [1, 2-b] quinolizinium bromide (5a) and naphtho [2, 1-b]
quinolizinium bromide (5b) with DNA and the propensity of these cationic arenes to damage …

The present study investigates the photochemical properties of potential photosensitizers for
photodynamic therapy, namely four commercial heptamethinecyanine dyes (IR125, IR780 …

Gene therapies, including genome editing, RNAi, anti-sense technology and chemical DNA
editing are becoming major methods for the treatment of genetic disorders. Techniques like …

Pyren-1-ylboronic acid 4 and pyrene-1, 6-diyldiboronic acid 5 are bound to supercoiled
double-strand circular DNA plasmid ColE1 (colDNA) and effect its efficient photocleavage …
