Abstract:Herein, we report a novel flavin analogue as singular chemical component for lysosome bioimaging and inherited photosensitizer capability of the flavin core was demonstrated as a promising candidate for photodynamic therapy (PDT) application. Fine‐tuning the flavin core with the incorporation of methoxy naphthyl appendage provides an appropriate chemical design, thereby offering greater photostability, selectivity, and lysosomal colocalization, along with the aggregation‐induced emissive nature, making it suit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
