Far-Red Light Activated Heterocyclic Carbocation Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy and Immunogenic Cancer Cell Death
This invention is a novel metal-free photosensitizer platform designed for photodynamic therapy (PDT) application in cancer and pre-cancer treatment. The technology uses organic light activated particles that allow longer light wavelength and enable deeper tissue penetration compared to PDT agents. Upon irradiation with far-red light, molecules generate...
