Recent strategies to improve boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) for photodynamic cancer therapy: an updated review
BODIPYs are photosensitizers activatable by light to generate highly reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) from molecular oxygen, leading to tissue damage in the photoirradiated region. Despite their extraordinary photophysical characteristics, they are not featured in clinical photodynamic therapy. This re...
