Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing photosensitizers for imaging and treatment of cancer in a photodynamic therapy (PDT) are provided. Specifically, the NIR photosensitizers are mitochondria targeted and water-soluble, and used as a cytotoxic drug in a photodynamic therapy of the cancer. The NIR photosensitizers are activated with wavelengths of light, wherein the light penetrates through a body not just a skin. Hence the NIR photosensitizers aim to transform PDT from being a specialized treatment to a generally applicable one. PDT is almost completely non-invasive compared to current treatment methods.
