A light-activatable photosensitizer based on a diarylethene derivative was developed for photodynamic therapy, showing sufficient therapeutic effects on HeLa cells. The opened form of DAE-TPE NPs was converted to the closed form upon UV exposure, activating photosensitization.
Herein, a light-activatable photosensitizer based on a diarylethene derivative, DAE-TPE, was developed for photodynamic therapy. Upon UV exposure, the opened form (OF) of DAE-TPE NPs was converted to the closed form (CF), and photosensitization was activated. The CF of DAE-TPE NPs exhibited sufficient photodynamic therapy effects upon HeLa cells.
