Photoactivatable metabolic warheads enable precise and safe ablation of target cells in vivo
ChemRxiv
Photoactivatable molecules enable ablation of malignant cells under the control of light, yet current agents can be ineffective at early stages of disease when target cells are similar to healthy surrounding tissues. In this work, we describe a chemical platform based on amino-substituted benzoselenadiazoles to build photosensitizers that mimic native metabolites as indicators of disease onset and progression.
