Front Cover: Long Wavelength Light Activated Prodrug Conjugates for Biomedical Applications (ChemPhotoChem 12/2018)

Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates the process by which a long‐wavelength‐light transducer converts long‐wavelength red light into short‐wavelength light to cleave the photoactivatable linkers and trigger drug release. After the cleavage, the active drug molecules released from the prodrug conjugates are applied in biochemical therapy. More information can be found in the Minireview by Y. Hou et al. on page 1005 in Issue 12, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cptc.201800147).
