Novel carbazole-based two-photon photosensitizer for efficient DNA photocleavage in anaerobic condition using near-infrared light†
Abstract
Two novel carbazole derivatives, BMEPC and BMEMC, were designed, synthesized and first reported as two-photon photosensitizers for DNA photodamage, which showed efficient DNA photocleavage ability under near-infrared light exposure via a two-photon process in anaerobic condition.
