The capability of the BH2+ parent cation to bind noble gases (Ng) has been evaluated. The results show its potential to form Borenium (BH2Ng+) and Boronium (BH2Ng2+) cations. Conformational search...
Rhenium tricarbonyl complexes are one of the most important classes of coordination compounds in inorganic chemistry. Exploring their luminescent excited states, lowest singlet (S1), and the lowest triplet (T1), is...
The photochemical control of structure and reactivity bears great potential for chemistry, biology, and life sciences. A key feature of photochemistry is the spatiotemporal control over secondary events. Well‐established applications of photochemistry in medicine are photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photopharmacology (PP). However, although both are highly localizable through the application of light, they lack cell‐ and tissue‐specificity. The combination of nanomaterial‐based drug delivery and targeting has the potential to overcome limitations for many established therapy concepts. Even more privileged seems the merger of nanomedicine and cell‐specific targeting (internal targeting) controlled by light (external control), as it can potentially be applied to many different areas of medicine and pharmaceutical research, including the aforementioned PDT and PP. In this review a survey of the interface of photochemistry, medicine and targeted drug delivery is given, especially focusing on phototriggered targeting in nanomedicine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
