Design and synthesis of hydrolyzable coumarin–naphthalimide dual probes for NIR fluorescence detection and selective photodynamic activity in cancer cells
Developing multifunctional agents capable of combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions remains a major challenge in cancer research. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and photophysical characterization of a family of dual probes (C-NAF) based on coumarin–naphthalimide hybrids linked through an imine bond, c...
