Aza-BODIPY with two efficacious fragments for NIR light-driven photothermal therapy by triggering cancer cell apoptosis

Abstract

Reasonable structure renders aza-BODIPY as an efficient photothermal reagent for photothermal therapy. Herein we described design and synthesis of aza-BODIPY NMeBu with the free rotating tert-butyl group and the dimethylamino-substituted...
