Cell internalization of BODIPY-based fluorescent dyes bearing carbohydrate residues

Photoinduced Charge Separation in a Donor–Spacer–Acceptor Dyad with N‐Annulated Perylene Donor and Methylviologen Acceptor

“…The charge-separated speciesr ecombinesi n 19 ps. Our results indicate that N-annulated perylenec an be connected to functional units by taking advantage of the macrocyclic nitrogen, an option never used until now,w ithout losing their properties, so opening the way to new designing approaches.The search for new highly luminescents peciesi savery attractive field for several reasons,i ncluding the developmento f new dyes for 1) fluorescencei maging dealing with the biochemicala nd medical realms, [1] 2) light-emitting dyad systems for illumination, [2] and 3) design of new dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). [3,4] In recent years, an ew class of dyes exhibiting quite intensea nd tunable luminescence has been identified, namely N-annulated perylenes (NAPs).…”

Fluorescently labelled glycans and their applications

“…When this conjugate was fed to a PC-12D cell culture, it was possible to visualize specific Golgi vesicles through fluorescence confocal imaging. Fluorescently labelled glycans were also shown to be useful in tracking the internalization and cell activation of inositol phosphate glycans [51], to profile cytoplasmic peptide:Nglycanase [52] or other glycosidases [53], and cell targeting and uptake of glycans [54][55][56].…”

Syntheses and photodynamic activity of some glucose-conjugated BODIPY dyes

“…Earlier, BODIPYs containing various hydrophilic groups have been used as imaging probes [22][23][24], and PDT agents [25][26][27]. Recently, cell internalization of some BODIPY-based fluorescent dyes bearing carbohydrate residues have M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5 been studied by fluorescence microscopy [28,29], while synthesis and photophysical properties of some BODIPY-conjugated iminosugar clusters [30] as well as of lactosylceramide [31] have also been reported. In another study, some BODIPYs were grafted on a carbohydrate platform to synthesize artificial light-harvesting antenna [32].…”
