One-Photon and Two-Photon Photophysical Properties of Tetrafunctionalized 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (Temoporfin) Derivatives as Potential Two-Photon-Induced Photodynamic Therapy Agents

Piotr Gierlich et al.

Summary: This study utilized the second-generation photosensitizer m-THPC as a starting point to obtain a library of compounds with improved optical properties through substitution, esterification, and Sonogashira coupling reactions. By enhancing the two-photon absorption cross-section through modification of the m-THPC skeleton, tetrafunctionalized m-THPC derivatives showed promise for application in two-photon induced PDT.

Bis(phenylethynyl)arene Linkers in Tetracationic Bis-triarylborane Chromophores Control Fluorimetric and Raman Sensing of Various DNAs and RNAs

Matthias Ferger et al.

Summary: The new luminescent tetracationic bis-triarylborane DNA and RNA sensors exhibit high binding affinities, with substituted bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl-4-ethynyl)arene linkers serving as efficient dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores. The linker length and flexibility significantly affect the binding affinities, with triple bonds playing a crucial role in Raman activity. The insertion of aromatic moieties between two carbon-carbon triple bonds offers an alternative design for dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores in biological imaging applications.

Higher pulse frequency of near-infrared laser irradiation increases penetration depth for novel biomedical applications

Ayan Barbora et al.

Summary: The research compared penetration depths of different laser frequencies in beef and chicken tissue samples, showing that 808 nm CW laser penetrates significantly deeper than 405 nm CW laser. Additionally, increasing the pulse frequency of the 808 nm PW laser resulted in even higher penetration depths. The study suggests that integrating SHG in PDT with pulsed NIR light could potentially allow for the treatment of larger tumors compared to traditional PDT using blue light.

Bithiophene-Cored, mono-, bis-, and tris-(Trimethylammonium)-Substituted, bis-Triarylborane Chromophores: Effect of the Number and Position of Charges on Cell Imaging and DNA/RNA Sensing

Sarina M. Berger et al.

Summary: This study presents the synthesis, photophysical, and electrochemical properties of selectively mono-, bis- and tris-dimethylamino- and trimethylammonium-substituted bis-triarylborane bithiophene chromophores, as well as the water solubility and singlet oxygen sensitizing efficiency of cationic compounds. The research highlights the significant influence of the bridging unit on the properties of bis-triarylboranes, especially the cationic compounds, and investigates their interactions with DNA, RNA, and DNApore in buffered solutions. Additionally, the study explores the compounds' ability to enter and localize within organelles of human lung carcinoma and normal lung cells, showing that both the number and distribution of charges on the chromophore affect interactions and staining properties.
