1O2 generation by BADs in living cells enables visualization of the dyads distribution, promising new imaging applications.
Abstract
Heavy atom-free BODIPY-anthracene dyads (BADs) generate locally excited triplet states by way of photoinduced electron transfer (PeT), followed by recombination of the resulting charge-separated states (CSS). Subsequent quenching of the triplet states by molecular oxygen produces singlet oxygen (1O2), which reacts with the anthracene moiety yielding highly fluorescent species. The steric demand of the alkyl substituents in the BODIPY subunit defines the site of 1O2 addition. Novel bis- and tetraepoxides and bicyclic acetal products, arising from rearrangements of anthracene endoperoxides were isolated and characterized. 1O2 generation by BADs in living cells enables visualization of the dyads distribution, promising new imaging applications.

Pyrazole appended quinoline-BODIPY based arene ruthenium complexes: their anticancer activity and potential applications in cellular imaging.

TL;DR: In vitro antiproliferative activity and photocytotoxicity of 1-4 were examined against the human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) which clearly showed that these complexes behave as a potential theranostic agent and their ability to kill cancer cells under visible light lies in the order 4 > 3 > 2 > 1.

Twisted BODIPY derivative: intersystem crossing, electron spin polarization and application as a novel photodynamic therapy reagent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photophysical properties of a heavy atom-free BODIPY derivative with a twisted π-conjugated framework were studied, and the results were consistent with TREPR results on the electron spin selectivity (the overpopulation of the TY sublevel of the T1 state).

The triplet excited state of Bodipy: formation, modulation and application

TL;DR: The methods for switching (or modulation) of the triplet excited state of Bodipy were discussed, such as those based on the photo-induced electron transfer (PET), by controlling the competing Förster-resonance-energy-transfer (FRET), or the intermolecular charge transfer (ICT).

Design and Synthesis of a Library of BODIPY-Based Environmental Polarity Sensors Utilizing Photoinduced Electron-Transfer-Controlled Fluorescence ON/OFF Switching

TL;DR: A library of probes in which the threshold of fluorescence ON/OFF switching corresponds to different levels of solvent polarity is designed and synthesized, which were used to examine bovine serum albumin and living cells and concluded to be similar to that of acetone.
