Development of a red absorbing Se-rhodamine photosensitizer and its application for bio-orthogonally activatable photodynamic therapy

Abstract

A π-extended red absorbing Se-rhodamine (Se-NR) was synthesised and characterized. By masking the amine of Se-NR as an azide, we successfully constructed a bio-orthogonally activatable photosensitizer (Se-NR-Az). Se-NR-Az was not photocytotoxic, but when activated by the Staudinger reaction, photocytotoxicity was restored.
