Synthesis and In Vitro Photodynamic Activity of Cationic Boron Dipyrromethene-Based Photosensitizers against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

Synthesis and In Vitro Photodynamic Activity of Cationic Boron Dipyrromethene-Based Photosensitizers against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

A series of cationic boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives were synthesized and characterized with various spectroscopic methods. Having the ability to generate singlet oxygen upon irradiation, these compounds could potentially serve as photosensitizers for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Of...
