Abstract
Photocages, also known as photoactivated protective groups (PPGs), have been utilized to achieve controlled release of target molecules in a non-invasive and spatiotemporal manner. In the past decade, BODIPY fluorophores, a well-established class of fluorescent dyes, have emerged as a novel type of photoactivated protective group capable of efficiently releasing cargo species upon irradiation. This is due to their exceptional properties, including high molar absorption coefficients, resistance to photochemical and thermal degradation, multiple modification sites, favorable uncaging quantum yields, and highly adjustable spectral properties. Compared to traditional photocages that mainly absorb UV light, BODIPY-based photocages that absorb visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) light offer advantages such as deeper tissue penetration and reduced bio-autofluorescence, making them highly suitable for various biomedical applications. Consequently, different types of photoactivated protective groups based on the BODIPY skeleton have been established. This highlight provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies employed to construct BODIPY photocages by substituting leaving groups at different positions within the BODIPY fluorophore, including the meso-methyl position, boron position, 2,6-position, and 3,5-position. Furthermore, the application of these BODIPY photocages in biomedical fields, such as fluorescence imaging and controlled release of active species, is discussed.

Abstract
A series of near-IR absorbing 2,6-diarylated BF2-chelated aza-boron-dipyrromethenes (aza-BDPs) derivatives bearing different electron donors (benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, phenothiazine and carbazole) were designed and synthesized. The effect of different electron donor substitutions on the photophysical properties was studied by steady-state UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, electrochemical, time-resolved nanosecond transient absorption (ns-TA) spectroscopy and theoretical computations. The UV-vis absorption spectra of AzaBDP-PTZ and AzaBDP-CAR (λabs=710 nm in toluene) showed a bathochromic absorption profile compared with the reference AzaBDP-Ph (λabs=685 nm in toluene), indicating the non-negligible electronic interaction at the ground state between donor and acceptor moieties. Moreover, the fluorescence is almost completely quenched for AzaBDP-PTZ/AzaBDP-CAR (fluorescence quantum yield, ΦF=0.2-0.7 % in toluene) as compared with the AzaBDP-Ph (ΦF=27 % in toluene). However, the apparent intersystem crossing ability of these compounds is poor, based on the singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ=0.3-1.5 %). The ns-TA spectral study showed typical Bodipy localized triplet state transient features, short-lived excited triplet state for AzaBDP-Ph (τT=53.2 μs) versus significantly long-lived triplet state for AzaBDP-CAR (τT=114 μs) was observed under deaerated experimental conditions. These triplet state lifetimes are much longer than that obtained with diiodoAzaBDP (intramolecular heavy atom effect, τT=1.5~7.2 μs). These information are useful for molecular structure design of triplet photosensitizers, for which longer triplet state lifetimes are usually desired. Theoretical computations displayed that the triplet state is mainly localized on the AzaBDP core, moreover, it was found that the HOMO/LUMO energy gap decreased after introducing donor moieties to the skeleton as compared with the reference.

Abstract
BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts were readily accessible from the high-yielding reaction of BODIPY with iodoarenes or hydroxyl(tosyloxy)iodoarenes in the presence of m-CPBA. The prepared BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts bearing substituents of varied electronic nature were utilized for the direct syntheses of thiocyanate, azide, amine and acrylate functionalized BODIPYs and β,β'-bis-BODIPYs. The regioselective syntheses of α-piperidinyl and β-piperidinyl substituted BODIPYs were achieved through the reaction of BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts with piperidine in the absence and presence of copper(I). Expeditious and high yielding (79-82%) synthesis of β,β'-bis-BODIPYs was also developed through the palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling of the easily accessible BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts. Some of the indole-appended BODIPYs and bis-BODIPYs displayed strong absorption in the visible region (∼610 nm). The BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts also showed significant binding with serum albumin and were observed to be selective serum protein sensors with estimated limits of detection as low as 7 μg mL-1 in some cases.

Abstract
Supramolecular engineering is exceptionally appealing in the design of functional materials, and J-aggregates resulting from noncovalent interactions offer intriguing features. However, building J-aggregation platforms remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report 3,5-dithienyl Aza-BODIPYs with a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) architecture as the first charge transfer (CT)-coupled J-aggregation BODIPY-type platform. The core acceptor moieties in one molecule interact with donor units in neighboring molecules to generate slip-stacked packing motifs, resulting in CT-coupled J-aggregation with a redshifted wavelength up to 886 nm and an absorption tail over 1100 nm. The J-aggregates show significant photoacoustic signals and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 66%. The results obtained in vivo show that the J-aggregates have the potential to be used for tumor photothermal ablation and photoacoustic imaging. This study not only demonstrates Aza-BODIPY with D-A-D as a novel CT-coupled J-aggregation platform for NIR phototherapy materials but also motivates further study on the design of J-aggregation.

Abstract
Heavy-atom-free photosensitizers are potentially suitable for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this contribution, a new family of unsymmetrical benzothieno-fused BODIPYs with reactive oxygen efficiency up to 50% in air-saturated toluene was reported. Their efficient intersystem crossing (ISC) resulted in the generation of both 1O2 and O2-• under irradiation. More importantly, the PDT efficacy of a respective 4-methoxystyryl-modified benzothieno-fused BODIPY in living cells exhibited an extremely high phototoxicity with an ultralow IC50 value of 2.78 nM. The results revealed that the incorporation of an electron-donating group at the α-position of the unsymmetrical benzothieno-fused BODIPY platform might be an effective approach for developing long-wavelength absorbing heavy-atom-free photosensitizers for precision cancer therapy.

Abstract
A new atom-economical synthesis of β-alkenyl-substituted BODIPYs via indium(III)-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroarylation with meso-substituted BODIPYs is described. While catalysis with InI3 allows the double β-functionalization of BODIPY, resulting in regioselectively branched β,β'-disubstituted alkenyl BODIPYs, catalytic InCl3 enables the formation of linear β-substituted alkenyl BODIPYs. Subsequent In(III)-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroarylation allows the synthesis of unsymmetrical push-pull BODIPY derivatives. Therefore, indium catalysis offers complementary regioselectivity in good chemical yields and functional group tolerance. The resulting BODIPY dyes displayed bathochromically shifted absorption and emission according to the electron-nature of the substituents in the alkenyl moiety with high molar extinction coefficients (ε up to 88,200 M-1 cm-1) and quantum yields (0.14-0.96).

Abstract
A series of solid-state emissive meso-aryl/alkyl-substituted and heteroatom-mixed bisBF2-anchoring fluorophore incorporating pyrrolyl-pyridylhydrazone (BOPPY) dyes have been developed by a one-pot condensation of ketonized or formylated pyrroles and 2-heterocyclohydrazine as well as the subsequent borylation coordination. Interestingly, the BOPPY dyes with meso-alkyl-substituted groups or oxygen-substituted pyridine moieties exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields (QYs) of up to 79%, the highest solid QY of 74%, and long lifetimes independent of polarity in the available BOPPYs. On the other hand, the BOPPYs with meso-aryl or N-substituted moieties display a high solution QY of up to 93% and slight emission wavelength maxima. However, the S-substituted BOPPY dye exhibited weak fluorescence in all studied solvents, which was attributed to the structural flexibility of the N-C-S bond and different from those BOPPYs with O or N substitution, indicated by quantum calculations. And the significant excited-state structural rearrangement in a polar solvent is further confirmed by femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. More importantly, those novel and barely fluorescent BOPPYs in acetonitrile show advantageous aggregation-induced enhanced emission and viscosity-dependent activities. These advancements in the photophysical and electrochemical properties of BOPPY dyes offer valuable insights into their further development and potential applications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, as a new form of regulated cell death, is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. Developing a single probe for an independent analysis of multiple analytes related to ferroptosis can provide more accurate information and simplify the detection procedures, but it faces great challenges. In this work, we develop a fluorescent probe for the simultaneous detection of GSH through ratiometric fluorescence response and microviscosity via a fluorescence lifetime model. Based on the reversible Michael addition reaction between GSH and unsaturated C═C bond, the probe responds reversibly to GSH with a ratiometric fluorescence variation and a fast response time (t1/2 = 4.7 s). At the same time, the probe is sensitive to environmental viscosity by changing its fluorescence lifetimes. The probe was applied to monitor the drug-induced ferroptosis process through both the classical Xc-/GSH/GPX4- and DHODH-mediated defense mechanisms. We hope that the probe will provide a useful molecular tool for the real-time live-cell imaging of GSH dynamics, which is benefit to unveiling related physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
A series of Ru(II)-acetylide complexes (Ru1, Ru2, and Ru1m) with alkynyl-functionalized borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) conjugates were designed by varying the position of the linker that connects the BODIPY unit to the Ru(II) metal center through acetylide linkage at either the 2-(Ru1) and 2,6-(Ru2) or the meso-phenyl (Ru1m) position of the BODIPY scaffold. The Ru(II) organometallic complexes were characterized by various spectroscopic methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, CHN, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) analyses. The Ru(II)-BODIPY conjugates exhibit fascinating electrochemical and photophysical properties. All BODIPY-Ru(II) complexes exhibit strong absorption (εmax = 29,000-72,000 M-1 cm-1) in the visible region (λmax = 502-709 nm). Fluorescence is almost quenched for Ru1 and Ru2, whereas Ru1m shows the residual fluorescence of the corresponding BODIPY core at 517 nm. The application of the BODIPY-Ru(II) dyads as nonporphyrin-based triplet photosensitizers was explored by a method involving the singlet oxygen (1O2)-mediated photo-oxidation of diphenylisobenzofuran. Effective π-conjugation between the BODIPY chromophore and Ru(II) center in the case of Ru1 and Ru2 was found to be necessary to improve intersystem crossing (ISC) and hence the 1O2-sensitizing ability. In addition, electrochemical studies indicate electronic interplay between the metal center and the redox-active BODIPY in the BODIPY-Ru(II) dyads.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in the synthesis and study of BODIPY-glycoconjugates. Most of the described synthetic methods toward these derivatives involve postfunctional modifications of the BODIPY core followed by the covalent attachment of the fluorophore and the carbohydrate through a "connector". Conversely, few de novo synthetic approaches to linker-free carbohydrate-BODIPY hybrids have been described. We have developed a reliable modular, de novo, synthetic strategy to linker-free BODIPY-sugar derivatives using the condensation of pyrrole C-glycosides with a pyrrole-carbaldehyde derivative mediated by POCl3. This methodology allows labeling of carbohydrate biomolecules with fluorescent-enough BODIPYs within the biological window, stable in aqueous media, and able to display singlet oxygen generation.

Abstract
Boron-containing compounds (BCC) have emerged as important pharmacophores. To date, five BCC drugs (including boronic acids and boroles) have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of cancer, infections, and atopic dermatitis, while some natural BCC are included in dietary supplements. Boron's Lewis acidity facilitates a mechanism of action via formation of reversible covalent bonds within the active site of target proteins. Boron has also been employed in the development of fluorophores, such as BODIPY for imaging, and in carboranes that are potential neutron capture therapy agents as well as novel agents in diagnostics and therapy. The utility of natural and synthetic BCC has become multifaceted, and the breadth of their applications continues to expand. This review covers the many uses and targets of boron in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
We report a rapid, efficient, and scope-extensive approach for the late-stage electrochemical diselenation of BODIPYs. Photophysical analyses reveal red-shifted absorption - corroborated by TD-DFT and DLPNO-STEOM-CCSD computations - and color-tunable emission with large Stokes shifts in the selenium-containing derivatives compared to their precursors. In addition, due to the presence of the heavy Se atoms, competitive ISC generates triplet states which sensitize 1 O2 and display phosphorescence in PMMA films at RT and in a frozen glass matrix at 77 K. Importantly, the selenium-containing BODIPYs demonstrate the ability to selectively stain lipid droplets, exhibiting distinct fluorescence in both green and red channels. This work highlights the potential of electrochemistry as an efficient method for synthesizing unique emission-tunable fluorophores with broad-ranging applications in bioimaging and related fields.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of 3-pyrrolylBODIPY dyes has been developed from a rational mixture of various aromatic aldehydes and pyrrole in a straightforward condensation reaction, followed by in situ successively oxidative nucleophilic substitution using a one-pot strategy. These resultant 3-pyrrolylBODIPYs without blocking substituents not only exhibit the finely tunable photophysical properties induced by the flexible meso-aryl substituents but also serve as a valuable synthetic framework for further selective functionalization. As a proof of such potential, one 3-pyrrolylBODIPY dye (581/603 nm) through the installation of the morpholine group is applicable for lysosome-targeting imaging. Furthermore, an ethene-bridged 3,3'-dipyrrolylBODIPY dimer was constructed, which displayed a near-infrared (NIR) emission extended to 1200 nm with a large fluorescence brightness (2840 M-1 cm-1). The corresponding dimer nanoparticles (NPs) afforded a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) value of 72.5%, eventually resulting in favorable photocytotoxicity (IC50 = 9.4 μM) and efficient in vitro eradication of HeLa cells under 808 nm laser irradiation, highlighting their potential application for photothermal therapy in the NIR window.

Abstract
A series of meso-carbazole and meso-pyrene boron dipyrromethene(BDP) dyes have been synthesized using a two-step method. This simplified synthetic method did not require catalysts or oxidizing agents. Solution spectroscopic and electrochemical studies indicate that the HOMO and LUMO energies are dependent on the extent of π-conjugation associated with the pyrroles. Solution electrochemistry of the dyes in chloroform reveal film formation onto glassy carbon electrodes. Electrolysis of chloroform solutions of the dyes using indium tin oxide (ITO) glass slides as the working electrode show, using UV/vis spectroscopy, the formation of films. For two of the dyes, the BODIPY structure stays in tact upon electrolysis, exhibiting sharp absorption peaks on the ITO slides similar to that observed for the same dyes in solution.

Abstract
BODIPYs are bicyclic aromatic compounds with unique spectroscopic, photophysical, and chemical properties. This study aimed to find BODIPYs with characteristics biocompatible with human cell lines for possible use as imaging agents. Six BODIPY derivatives were synthesised with groups linked to boron, fluorine, phenol, or catechol, resulting in compounds with different physicochemical characteristics. NMR, absorption, and emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry were subsequently used to characterise them. Afterwards, the biocompatibility of these compounds was evaluated using MTT, SRB, and cellular uptake assays in A549 and H1299 cell lines. Furthermore, a haemolysis assay was performed on human blood cells. To summarise the main results, BODIPYs 1 to 4 showed considerable fluorescence. In contrast, BODIPYs 5 and 6 showed very weak fluorescence, which could be related to the presence of the catechol group and its quenching properties. Regarding biocompatibility, all compounds had metabolic activity and viability above 80% and 70%, respectively. BODIPYs 3 and 6 presented the most consistent data, demonstrating good uptake and, in general, haemolytic activity below 25%. In conclusion, the cytotoxic effects of the compounds were not considerable, and the presence of cyclic alkoxides in BODIPYs 3 and 6 may introduce exciting features that should be highlighted for dual imaging for BODIPY 3 due to its fluorescence or for radioactive labelling in the case of both BODIPYs.

Abstract
A series of BODIPY compounds with a methylphenol substituent at the meso-position and halogen atoms on the BODIPY core, or OCH3 or OAc substituents at the phenolic moiety was synthesized. Their spectral and photophysical properties and the photochemical reactivity upon irradiation in CH3OH were investigated. The molecules with the phenolic substituent at the meso-position undergo more efficient photo-methanolysis at the boron atom, while the introduction of the OCH3 group at the phenolic moiety changes the reaction selectivity towards the cleavage at the meso-position. The introduction of the halogen atoms into the BODIPY increases the photo-cleavage reaction efficiency, as well as the ability of the molecules to sensitize oxygen and form reactive oxygen species (ROS). The efficiency of the ROS formation was measured in comparison with that of tetraphenylporphyrin. The antiproliferative effect of BODIPY molecules was investigated against three human cancer cell lines MCF-7 (breast carcinoma), H460 (lung carcinoma), HCT116 (colon carcinoma), and two non-cancer cell lines, HEK293T (embryonic kindey) and HaCaT (keratinocytes), with the cells kept in the dark or irradiated with visible light. For most of the compounds a modest or no antiproliferative activity was observed for cells in the dark. However, when cells were irradiated, a dramatic increase in cytotoxicity was observed (more than 100-fold), with IC50 values in the submicromolar concentration range. The enhancement of the cytotoxic effect was explained by the formation of ROS, which was studied for cells in vitro. However, for some BODIPY compounds, the effects due to the formation of electrophilic species (carbocations and quinone methides, which react with biomolecules) cannot be disregarded. Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of H460 cells and HEK293T show that the compounds enter the cells and are retained in the cytoplasm and membranes of the various organelles. When the cells treated with the compounds are irradiated, photo-processes lead to cell death by apoptosis. The study performed is important because it provides bases for the development of novel photo-therapeutics capable of exerting photo-cytotoxic effects in both oxygenated and hypoxic cells.

Abstract
By taking advantage of their strong absorption ability, visible-light-induced direct photoamination of BODIPY dyes with aqueous ammonia was developed to give structurally diverse α-amino BODIPYs. The excited state of BODIPYs possessed higher electron affinity than the ground state and thus showed largely enhanced reactivity toward weak nucleophile of ammonia. Those α-amino BODIPYs are valuable synthetic intermediates and have been successfully demonstrated in several post-transformation reactions. The work indicates that photoreaction is an excellent alternative to conventional functionalization of this popular fluorophore.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms can pose a serious health risk to humans and are less susceptible to antibiotics and disinfection than planktonic bacteria. Here, a novel method for biofilm eradication based on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy utilizing a nanoparticle in conjunction with a BODIPY derivative as photosensitizer was developed. Reactive oxygen species are generated upon illumination with visible light and lead to a strong, controllable and persistent eradication of both planktonic bacteria and biofilms. One of the biggest challenges in biofilm eradication is the penetration of the antimicrobial agent into the biofilm and its matrix. A biocompatible hydrophilic nanoparticle was utilized as a delivery system for the hydrophobic BODIPY dye and enabled its accumulation within the biofilm. This key feature of delivering the antimicrobial agent to the site of action where it is activated resulted in effective eradication of all tested biofilms. Here, 3 bacterial species that commonly form clinically relevant pathogenic biofilms were selected: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans. The development of this antimicrobial photodynamic therapy tool for biofilm eradication takes a promising step towards new methods for the much needed treatment of pathogenic biofilms.

Abstract
BODIPY (4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) dyes are regarded as highly useful compounds due to their rich photophysical properties, stability, and ease of functionalization. In recent years, hot topics studied with this class of compounds are targeted photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, fluorescent bioimaging agents, structural modification of the BODIPY core, synthesis of BODIPY analogs, and BODIPY-based supramolecular constructs. This review covers the advances in BODIPY structures substituted with additional carbon-nitrogen double bonds, namely imines, hydrazones, oximes, and related derivatives for various applications. Works based on fluorescent indicators of anions, cations, and neutral molecules are included in this review. In addition, the use of such structures for pharmaceutical applications, photodynamic therapy, fluorescent switches, and fluorescent building blocks are also investigated. In addition to covering the major literature within the mentioned subclass, design principles, working mechanisms, and outlooks are also provided to enlighten forthcoming promising efforts. With this work, we aim to provide insights about the synthesis, photophysical properties, contribution of C=N bonds to a class of dye, and possible areas of use and stimulate researchers to present new ideas and overcome the current problems using these derivatives.

Formylation as a Chemical Tool to Modulate the Performance of Photosensitizers Based on Boron Dipyrromethene Dimers. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11837. [PMID: 37511596 PMCID: PMC10380594 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Heavy-atom-free photosensitizers are envisioned as the next generation of photoactive molecules for photo-theragnosis. In this approach, and after suitable irradiation, a single molecular scaffold is able to visualize and kill tumour cells by fluorescence signalling and photodynamic therapy (PDT), respectively, with minimal side effects. In this regard, BODIPY-based orthogonal dimers have irrupted as suitable candidates for this aim. Herein, we analyse the photophysical properties of a set of formyl-functionalized BODIPY dimers to ascertain their suitability as fluorescent photosensitizers. The conducted computationally aided spectroscopic study determined that the fluorescence/singlet oxygen generation dual performance of these valuable BODIPY dimers not only depends on the BODIPY-BODIPY linkage and the steric hindrance around it, but also can be modulated by proper formyl functionalization at specific chromophoric positions. Thus, we propose regioselective formylation as an effective tool to modulate such a delicate photonic balance in BODIPY-based dimeric photosensitizers. The taming of the excited-state dynamics, in particular intramolecular charge transfer as the key underlying process mediating fluorescence deactivation vs. intersystem crossing increasing, could serve to increase fluorescence for brighter bioimaging, enhance the generation of singlet oxygen for killing activity, or balance both for photo-theragnosis.

Abstract
In this contribution, we designed and synthesized a deep-red emitting distyryl-BODIPY dye (dye 3) which is non-fluorescent in aqueous solution due to the formation of non-emissive aggregates. However, in presence of an amphiphilic polymer (polystyrene sulfonate, PSS), the aggregated dye molecules de-aggregate and form dye 3-PSS complex, which significantly modulates the optical features of the bound dye. Interestingly, the dye 3-PSS complex shows turn-on fluorescence response in deep-red region in presence of protamine (Pr) due to the formation of dye 3-PSS-Pr ternary complex. Such enhancement follows a linear trend in the dynamic range of 0-8.75 μM of Pr which has been utilized to determine Pr with limit of detection (LOD) of 15.04(±0.5) nM in phosphate buffer. Furthermore, excellent selectivity of the dye 3-PSS system towards Pr allows us to determine Pr even in complex biological matrix like 1% human serum. Thus, dye 3-PSS system can be applied as a very effective tool for the detection and quantification of Pr in deep-red region, overcoming several limitations encountered with the probes in the shorter wavelength region. This is the first report on BODIPY dye based supramolecular assembly for sensing and quantification of protamine.

Abstract
A family of directly β,β-linked BODIPY dimers with amino groups at α-positions were regioselectively prepared by the oxidative coupling reaction of α-amino-substituted BODIPYs. The structure of one representative dimer was elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing its twisted orientation of two BODIPY units with a dihedral angle of 49°. Comparing with the corresponding monomers, these dimers showed red-shifted absorptions and emissions along with efficient intersystem crossing, giving ΦΔ of 43% for dimer 4b in toluene, indicating potential use as heavy-atom-free photosensitizers.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthetic access to a set of π-extended BODIPYs featuring a penta-arylated (phenyl and/or thiophene) dipyrrin framework. We take advantage of the full chemoselective control of 8-methylthio-2,3,5,6-tetrabromoBODIPY when we conduct the Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling (LSCC) to functionalize exclusively the meso-position, followed by the tetra-Suzuki reaction to arylate the halogenated sites. All these laser dyes display absorption and emission bands in the red edge of the visible spectrum reaching the near-infrared with thiophene functionalization. The emission efficiency, both fluorescence and laser, of the polyphenylBODIPYs can be enhanced upon decoration of the peripheral phenyls with electron donor/acceptor groups at para positions. Alternatively, the polythiopheneBODIPYs show an astonishing laser performance despite the charge transfer character of the emitting state. Therefore, these BODIPYs are suitable as a palette of stable and bright laser sources covering the spectral region from 610 nm to 750 nm.

Abstract
Fusion selenophene endows the chromophore with more intrinsic and special functions. Herein, nonsymmetric selenophene-fused BODIPYs were designed and synthesized starting from the selenophene unit. The fused ring of selenophene not only maintains the rigid structure of BODIPY but also further modulates its spectral properties. The newly prepared dyes possessed many promising properties including large molar extinction coefficients, low fluorescence quantum yields, and moderate singlet oxygen generation. Quantum calculations affirmed that the smaller singlet-triplet energy gap and larger spin-orbit coupling cause efficient intersystem crossing, thus enhancing the singlet oxygen generation yield. Furthermore, selenophene-fused BODIPY exhibited significant phototoxicity with negligible dark cytotoxicity, based on the fluorescence imaging of the reactive oxygen species detection experiment.

Abstract
Rhodium-catalyzed C-H/N-H [5 + 2] annulations of 8-(pyrrol-2-yl)-appended boron-complexed dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) with internal alkynes have been established to afford a series of azepine-fused BODIPYs with good yields and excellent regioselectivity, in which the pyrrol-2-yl unit serves as the directing group as a rare example. A RhI intermediate was obtained to indicate a RhI/RhIII catalytic process involved in this reaction. Importantly, the [5 + 2] C-H annulation is demonstrated as a concise strategy to change the optical properties of BODIPY.

Abstract
Abstract
Owing to the relevance of fluorescently labeled carbohydrates in the study of biological processes, we have investigated several routes for the preparation of saccharides covalently linked to borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) fluorophores. We have shown that BODIPY dyes can be used as aglycons through synthetic saccharide protocols. In particular, a per-alkylated 8-(2-hydroxy-methylphenyl)-4,4′-dicyano-BODIPY derivative, which withstands glycosylation and protection/deprotection reaction conditions without decomposition, has been used in the stepwise synthesis of two fluorescently labeled trisaccharides. These saccharides displayed high water solubility and a low tendency to (H-)aggregation, a phenomenon that causes loss of photophysical efficiency in BODIPYs. Two additional synthetic strategies toward glyco-BODIPYs have also been described. The first method relies on a Ferrier-type C-glycosylation of the BODIPY core, leading to linker-free carbohydrate–BODIPY hybrids. Secondly, the application of the Nicholas propargylation reaction to 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl BODIPYs provides access to 2,6-dipropargylated BODIPYs that readily undergo CuAAC reactions with azido-containing sugars. From a photophysical standpoint, the BODIPY-labeled saccharides could be used as stable and fluorescent water-soluble chromophores, thereby addressing one of the current challenges in molecular imaging.

Abstract
A very simple, small and symmetric, but highly bright, photostable and functionalizable molecular probe for plasma membrane (PM) has been developed from an accessible, lipophilic and clickable organic dye based on BODIPY. To this aim, two lateral polar ammoniostyryl groups were easily linked to increase the amphiphilicity of the probe and thus its lipid membrane partitioning. Compared to the BODIPY precursor, the transversal diffusion across lipid bilayers of the ammoniostyryled BODIPY probe was highly reduced, as evidenced by fluorescence confocal microscopy on model membranes built up as giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Moreover, the ammoniostyryl groups endow the new BODIPY probe with the ability to optically work (excitation and emission) in the bioimaging-useful red region, as shown by staining of the plasma membrane of living mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Upon incubation, this fluorescent probe rapidly entered the cell through the endosomal pathway. By blocking the endocytic trafficking at 4 °C, the probe was confined within the PM of MEFs. Our experiments show the developed ammoniostyrylated BODIPY as a suitable PM fluorescent probe, and confirm the synthetic approach for advancing PM probes, imaging and science.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores with characteristics such as deep tissue penetration, minimal damage to the biological samples, and low background interference, are highly sought-after materials for in vivo and deep-tissue fluorescence imaging. Herein, series of 3-pyrrolylBODIPY derivatives and 3,5-dipyrrolylBODIPY derivatives have been prepared by a facile regioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction (SN Ar) on 3,5-halogenated BODIPY derivatives (3,5-dibromo or 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroBODIPYs) with pyrroles. The installation of a pyrrolic unit onto the 3-position of the BODIPY chromophore leads to a dramatic red shift of both the absorption (up to 160 nm) and the emission (up to 260 nm) in these resultant 3-pyrrolylBODIPYs with respect to that of the BODIPY chromophore. Their further 5-positional functionalization provides a facile way to fine tune their photophysical properties, and these resulting dipyrrolylBODIPYs and functionalized pyrrolylBODIPYs show strong absorption in the deep red-to-NIR regions (595-684 nm) and intense NIR fluorescence emission (650-715 nm) in dichloromethane. To demonstrate the applicability of these functionalized pyrrolylBODIPYs as NIR fluorescent probes for cell imaging, pyrrolylBODIPY 6 a containing mitochondrion-targeting butyltriphenylphosphonium cationic species was also prepared. It selectively localized in mitochondria of HeLa cells, with low cytotoxicity and intense deep red fluorescence emission.

Abstract
The introduction of heavy atoms into the BODIPY-core structure has proven to be a straightforward strategy for optimizing the design of such dyes towards enhanced generation of singlet oxygen rendering them suitable as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, BODIPYs are presented by combining the concept of bromination with nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) of a pentafluorophenyl or a 4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl moiety to introduce functional groups, thus improving the phototoxic effect of the BODIPYs as well as their solubility in the biological environment. The nucleophilic substitution enabled functionalization with various amines and alcohols as well as unprotected thiocarbohydrates. The phototoxic activity of these more than 50 BODIPYs has been assessed in cellular assays against four cancer cell lines in order to more broadly evaluate their PDT potential, thus accounting for the known variability between cell lines with respect to PDT activity. In these investigations, dibrominated polar-substituted BODIPYs, particularly dibrominated glyco-substituted compounds, showed promising potential as photomedicine candidates. Furthermore, the cellular uptake of the glycosylated BODIPYs has been confirmed via fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
It is essential to create organic compounds that exhibit circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the near-infrared (NIR) range. Helicene-type emitters possess appealing chiroptical features, however, such NIR molecules are scarce due to a paucity of synthetic strategies. Herein, we developed a series of helical β-isoindigo-based B-O-B bridged aza-BODIPY analogs that were synthesized conveniently. The reaction of diimino-β-isoindigo with a heteroaromatic amine produced a restricted ligand cavity, which triggered off the generation of a B-O-B bridge. The B-O-B bridge led to distorted conformations that satisfy the helical requirements, resulting in excellent spectroscopic and chiroptical properties. Tunable CPL with the highest luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum ) of 1.3×10-3 and a CPL brightness (BCPL =11.5 M-1 cm-1 ) in the NIR region was achieved. This synthetic approach is expected to offer a new opportunity to chiral chemistry and increase flexibility for chiroptical tuning.

Abstract
An efficient procedure is presented for functionalization of BODIPYs at boron with arylstannanes as weak nucleophiles in the presence of aluminum chloride, providing new aryl-boron-substituted BODIPY and aza-BODIPY derivatives of singular importance. Most of these aryl-boron-substituted BODIPYs showed bright emission in the aqueous solution with significant aggregation-induced emission enhancement and high solid-state emission as a result of the restricted rotation of the meso-phenyl group and boron-substituted aryl groups as well as the formation of J-type aggregates.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems, which use components at the nanoscale level as diagnostic tools or to release therapeutic drugs to particular target areas in a regulated manner, are a fast-evolving field of science. The active pharmaceutical substance can be released via the drug delivery system to produce the desired therapeutic effect. The poor bioavailability and irregular plasma drug levels of conventional drug delivery systems (tablets, capsules, syrups, etc.) prevent them from achieving sustained delivery. The entire therapy process may be ineffective without a reliable delivery system. To achieve optimal safety and effectiveness, the drug must also be administered at a precision-controlled rate and the targeted spot. The issues with traditional drug delivery are overcome by the development of stimuli-responsive controlled drug release. Over the past decades, regulated drug delivery has evolved considerably, progressing from large- and nanoscale to smart-controlled drug delivery for several diseases. The current review provides an updated overview of recent developments in the field of stimuli-responsive boron-based materials in drug delivery for various diseases. Boron-containing compounds such as boron nitride, boronic acid, and boron dipyrromethene have been developed as a moving field of research in drug delivery. Due to their ability to achieve precise control over drug release through the response to particular stimuli (pH, light, glutathione, glucose or temperature), stimuli-responsive nanoscale drug delivery systems are attracting a lot of attention. The potential of developing their capabilities to a wide range of nanoscale systems, such as nanoparticles, nanosheets/nanospheres, nanotubes, nanocarriers, microneedles, nanocapsules, hydrogel, nanoassembly, etc., is also addressed and examined. This review also provides overall design principles to include stimuli-responsive boron nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems, which might inspire new concepts and applications.

Abstract
Two new BODIPY-fluorene-fullerene (3) and BODIPY-fluorene-BODIPY (4) conjugates were designed, synthesized, and characterized for the first time. The structural properties of compounds were investigated with elemental analysis, mass, 1H, and 13C NMR techniques. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to examine the photophysical (absorption and emission profiles, fluorescence quantum yields, and lifetimes) and photochemical (formation of singlet oxygen (1O2)) properties. It was observed that the novel compounds (3) and (4) showed high molar extinction coefficients and good 1O2 quantum yields. 1O2 formation ability of the BODIPY-fluorene-fullerene conjugate (3) was more efficient than that of the BODIPY-fluorene-BODIPY conjugate (4). Furthermore, photosensitization ability of both conjugate systems was more remarkable than some commonly used BODIPY based photosensitizers. The data presented in this work indicate that these two novel systems are effective 1O2 photosensitizers that might be used for various areas of applications such as photodynamic therapy and photocatalysis.

Abstract
The last decade has seen an increasingly large number of studies reporting on the development of novel small organic conjugated systems for mitochondrial imaging exploiting optical signal transduction pathways. Mitochondria are known to play a critical role in a number of key biological processes, including cellular metabolism. Importantly, irregularities on their working function are nowadays understood to be intimately linked to a range of clinical conditions, highlighting the importance of targeting mitochondria for therapeutic benefits. In this work we carry out an in-depth evaluation on the progress to date in the field to pave the way for the realization of superior alternatives to those currently existing. The manuscript is structured by commonly used chemical scaffolds and comprehensively covers key aspects factored in design strategies such as synthetic approaches as well as photophysical and biological characterization, to foster collaborative work among organic and physical chemists as well as cell biologists.

Abstract
Temperature-driven colorful switching inks have been an interesting security encoding method to improve the anticounterfeiting properties of commercially available merchandise. Recently, thermochromic inks have faced many disadvantages, such as low efficiency, high cost, and low durability. In the current study, we developed self-healable ink from poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA) integrated with the anthocyanidin(ACY)-based red-cabbage extract in the presence of ferrous sulfate for authentication purposes. Self-healable inks have been able to guarantee durability and thermal stability. Environmentally friendly, ACY-based chromophore was extracted from Brassica oleracea L. var. Capitata (red-cabbage) to serve as a spectroscopic probe immobilized into PAMPSA. The prepared self-healable nanocomposite ink (PAMPSA-ACY) displayed temperature-induced chromism with high reversibility and thermal stability. Different self-healable nanocomposite inks of thermochromic features were prepared employing different ratios of the ACY-based red-cabbage extract. As described by Commission Internationale de L'éclairage Lab coordinates, homogeneous films were stamped on the paper surface to show a purple color (631 nm) able to switch color into red (458 nm) with the increase in temperature from 25 to 65 °C, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray, and scanning electron microscopy were utilized to inspect the morphological behavior and chemical compositions of thermochromic prints. Both mechanical and rheological properties of ink-printed paper substrates and ink solution were also investigated. Both of antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity study of the nanocomposite ink (PAMPSA-ACY) were also evaluated. Various industries can take the advantage of the current ink as a competent approach for anticounterfeiting purposes.

Abstract
The search for efficient heavy atom free photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a very active field. We describe herein a simple and easily accessible molecular design based on the attachment of an enamine group as an electron-donor moiety at the meso position of the BODIPY core with different alkylation patterns. The effect of the alkylation degree and solvent polarity on the photophysical properties in terms of splitting absorption bands, fluorescence efficiencies and singlet oxygen production is analyzed in depth experimentally using spectroscopic techniques, including femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption (fs- and ns-TA) and using computational simulations based on time-dependent density functional theory. The correlation between the theoretical/experimental results permits the rationalization of the observed photophysical behavior exhibited by meso-enamine-BODIPY compounds and the determination of mechanistic details, which rule the population of the triplet state manifold. The potential applicability as a theragnostic agent for the most promising compound is demonstrated through in vitro assays in HeLa cells by analyzing the internalization, localization and phototoxic action.

Abstract
Sulfoxide-bridged dimeric BODIPYs were developed as a new class of long-wavelength photoconvertible fluorophores. Upon visible-light irradiation, a sulfoxide moiety was released to generate the corresponding α,α-directly linked dimeric BODIPYs. The extrusion of SO from sulfoxides was mainly through an intramolecular fashion involving reactive triplet states. By this photoconversion, not only were more than 100 nm red shifts of absorption and emission maxima (up to 648/714 nm) achieved but also stable products with bright fluorescence were produced with high efficiency. The combination of photoactivation and red-shifted excitation/emission offered optimal contrast and eliminated the interference from biological autofluorescence. More importantly, the in situ products of these visible-light-induced reactions demonstrated ideal single-molecule fluorescence properties in the near-infrared region. Therefore, this new photoconversion could be a powerful photoactivation method achieving super-resolution single-molecule localization imaging in a living cell without using UV illumination and cell-toxic additives.

Abstract
Early and rapid diagnosis of tumors is essential for clinical treatment or management. In contrast to conventional means, bioimaging has the potential to accurately locate and diagnose tumors at an early stage. Fluorescent probe has been developed as an ideal tool to visualize tumor sites and to detect biological molecules which provides a requirement for noninvasive, real-time, precise, and specific visualization of structures and complex biochemical processes in vivo. Rencently, the development of synthetic organic chemistry and new materials have facilitated the development of near-infrared small molecular sensing platforms and nanoimaging platforms. This provides a competitive tool for various fields of bioimaging such as biological structure and function imaging, disease diagnosis, in situ at the in vivo level, and real-time dynamic imaging. This review systematically focused on the recent progress of small molecular near-infrared fluorescent probes and nano-fluorescent probes as new biomedical imaging tools in the past 3-5 years, and it covers the application of tumor biomarker sensing, tumor microenvironment imaging, and tumor vascular imaging, intraoperative guidance and as an integrated platform for diagnosis, aiming to provide guidance for researchers to design and develop future biomedical diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Tetracoordinated organoboron dyes exhibiting strong fluorescence in either solution or the solid state are currently receiving much attraction in view of their photovoltaic, optoelectronic, and biological applications. Herein, a series of aromatic-ring-fused BOPPY dyes have been developed by one-pot condensation of formylated isoindoles or indoles and pyridinylhydrazine followed by subsequent borylation coordination. The facile synthesis provides excellent diversity of these unsymmetrical α-benzo- and β-benzothiophene-fused BOPPY dyes with intriguing photophysical properties owing to their rigid and planar structure and extended π-conjugation while containing a reactive site. They display intense green to orange fluorescence in solution and red-to-near-infrared emission in the solid state, with high fluorescence quantum yields up to 92 and 21%, respectively, relatively large Stokes shifts, and excellent photostability. Furthermore, two representative benzo-fused BOPPY probes with morpholine or benzenesulfonamide groups were developed and used to selectively "light up" the subcellular organelles such as lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum under ultralow concentration, respectively.

Abstract
A time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) computational approach is employed to study the optical coupling between a plasmonic system (a Ag50 nanorod) and a fluorescent dye (BODIPY). It is found that the BODIPY dye can interact with a plasmonic system in a rather different and selective way according to the mutual orientation of the fragments. Indeed, (i) the plasmon excitation turns out to be sensitive to the presence of the BODIPY transition and (ii) this can lead to amplify or suppress the resonance accordingly to the relative orientation of the corresponding transition dipoles. To understand the coupling mechanism, we analyze the shape of the induced density in real space and the Individual Component Map of the Oscillator Strength (ICM-OS) plots and achieve a simple rationalization and insight on the origin and features of the coupling. The resulting possibility of understanding plasmon/fluorophore interactions by simple qualitative arguments opens the way to a rational design of hybrid (plasmon + dye) systems with the desired optical behavior.

Abstract
A series of 2-(isoquinol-1-yl)pyrrole-boron complexes possessing (hetero)aryl substituents on the pyrrole and/or isoquinoline moiety were prepared. These compounds exhibited the fluorescence emission character in both solution and solid state. In most cases, the large Stokes shift and high fluorescence quantum yield in the solution were compatible. Furthermore, the structural diversity allowed the precise tuning of emitting colors from light blue to red with strong emission intensity. The present paper describes their comprehensive optical characteristics dependent on the type and position of the substituted aryl groups by the experimental and computational studies.
