Molecular Engineering of Asymmetric Aza-BODIPY Dyes for High-Performance Phototherapy

Key Points

• This research aims to develop aza-BODIPY dyes that effectively minimize fluorescence and reactive oxygen species (ROS) quenching.
• Proposed an 'asymmetric hierarchical modulation' strategy for dye engineering.
• Conducted phototherapeutic assessments to evaluate anti-fluorescence and anti-ROS effects.
• Achieved significant reductions in fluorescence and ROS quenching compared to conventional dyes.
• Demonstrated enhanced performance in phototherapeutic applications with engineered aza-BODIPY structures.
