Two novel, self-reporting distyryl BODIPY-based photodynamic therapy agents functionalized with singlet oxygen responsive imidazole and tertiary amine moieties are developed. Heavy atom-free photosensitizers are demonstrated to have efficient photodynamic action in MCF7 cells. The fluorescence intensity of the photosensitizers is shown to be reduced as a result of 1O2 generation without any significant change in photodynamic activity. This journal is

A series of pH and GSH responsive photosensitizers were designed and synthesized. pKa values were optimized by adjusting the inductive contribution of substituents to reach a pH range (6.0-7.4) relevant to the tumour microenvironment. pH-Activatable behaviour and redox mediated release of the quencher from the PS by GSH allow the construction of an AND logic operator for selective photodynamic action in aqueous solutions.

Four novel π-conjugated copolymers incorporating 4,4-difluoro-4-borata- 3a-azonia-4a-aza-s-indacene (BODIPY) core as the "donor" and quinoxaline (Qx), 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BzT), N,N′-di(2′-ethyl) hexyl-3,4,7,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (NDI), and N,N′- di(2′-ethyl)hexyl-3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) as acceptors were designed and synthesized via Sonogashira polymerization. The polymers were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on polymer repeat units, and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels were estimated from the optimized geometry using B3LYP functional and 6-311g(d,p) basis set. Copolymers with Qx and BzT possessed HOMO and LUMO energy levels comparable to those of BODIPY homopolymer, while PDI stabilized both HOMO and LUMO levels. Semiconductor behavior of these polymers was estimated in organic thin-film transistors (OTFT). While the homopolymer, Qx, and BzT-based copolymers showed only p-type semiconductor behavior, copolymers with PDI and NDI showed only n-type behavior.
