Heavy-Metal Free Near Infrared Photoredox Catalysts in Cancer Phototherapy

MKMst Nasima KhatunSNSatyendu NandiCSChakali Srinivas

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop novel heavy-metal free photosensitizers for effective use in cancer phototherapy.
  • Synthesis of five new far red/near infrared photosensitizers
  • Utilization of donor modulation of the perylenimide core
  • Measurement of Stokes shifts in the synthesized compounds
  • The developed photosensitizers showed large Stokes shifts ranging from 213-270 nm
  • Enhanced performance in comparison to traditional heavy-metal based photosensitizers
  • Demonstrated compatibility for cancer treatment applications

Abstract

Herein, five new far red/near Infra-red (NIR) heavy-metal free photosensitizers (PSs) were developed by donor modulation of the planar perylenimide (PI) core, exhibiting large Stokes shifts of 213-270 nm. The...
