Cell organelle targeting of near-infrared croconaine dye controls photothermal outcome

Abstract

Near-infrared croconaine–peptide conjugates that target the cell nucleus promote photothermal induced cell death. In contrast, a croconaine–morpholine conjugate that targets the cell lysosomes promotes lysosome permeabilization without measurable cell phototoxicity.
