Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable)
protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to …

meso-methyl BODIPY photocages have recently emerged as an exciting new class of
photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) that release leaving groups upon absorption of …

The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

Prodrugs are chemically modified drug molecules that are inactive before administration.
After administration, they are converted in situ to parent drugs and induce the mechanism of …

The review considers the results of research by scientists from different countries in the field
of synthesis and photophysical property study of known BODIPY. We focus on describing the …

Conventional photocages only respond to short wavelength light, which is a significant
obstacle to developing efficient phototherapy in vivo. The development of photocages …

Stimulus-cleavable nanoscale drug delivery systems are receiving significant attention
owing to their capability of achieving exquisite control over drug release via the exposure to …

The formation of biofilms is closely associated with persistent and chronic infections, and
physiological heterogeneity such as pH and oxygen gradients renders biofilms highly …

Prodrugs have emerged as a major strategy for addressing clinical challenges by improving
drug pharmacokinetics, reducing toxicity, and enhancing treatment efficacy. The emergence …

Clinical trials confirm the combination of indoleamine 2, 3‐dioxygenase (IDO) blockade and
