Title: | Leveraging synthetic chlorins for bio-imaging applications |
Abstract: | Synthetic chlorins are not only fluorescent, the modulation of the tetrapyrrole system can also chelate metal ions. Conjugation of linkers at their pyrrolidines allows for conjugation to bio-molecules to create target specificity. By altering these chemo-photophysical properties, this work facilitates the use of chlorins in fluorescent imaging and positron emission tomography (PET). © 2020 The Royal Society of Chemistry. |
