Abstract
Structure-activity studies with chemically modified cyanine dyes revealed that the photophysics and photodynamic activity of these dyes could be significantly improved by strategically positioning heavy atoms into the chromophore structure. Based on these studies, trimethine oxonol dyes with superior light-induced antineoplastic properties were developed and their photodynamic potential was assessed and confirmed in a pre-clinical evaluation.
