Time-dependent Photodynamic Therapy for Multiple Targets: A Highly Efficient AIE-active Photosensitizer for Selective Bacterial Elimination and Cancer Cell Ablation
Abstract:Pathogen infection and cancer are the two major human wealth and health problems. Fluorescence-guided photodynamic therapy (FL-PDT) emerged as a hotspot in antibacterial and anticancer treatment with prominent merits including noninvasiveness, no drug resistance, real-time monitoring, spatiotemporal precision and synergistic effect over conventional therapeutic modalities. In this work, we achieved successfully an organic salt photosensitizer (PS), called 4TPA-BQ with aggregation-induced emission feature via o… Show more
