Rational Design of Biocompatible Heavy-Atom-Free Thionaphthalimide-Based Nanophotosensitizers for Photodynamic Cancer Therapy.
Heavy-atom-free photosensitizers, particularly those containing thiocarbonyl groups, hold significant promise for photodynamic therapy, yet their full potential remains untapped. The unique photophysical and photochemical properties of sulfur-modified carbonyl fluorophores are not fully understood. Additionally, challe...
