Synthesis, Photochemical and In Vitro Cytotoxic Evaluation of New Iodinated Aminosquaraines as Potential Sensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy

In this work, several benzothiazole-based aminosquaraine dyes, displaying strong absorption within the so-called phototherapeutic window (650–800 nm), were synthesized. The ability, of all the new dyes, to generate singlet oxygen was assessed by determining the correspondent phosphorescenc...
