Abstract
Mono- and disubstituted 2,6-dibromo-dimethylaminophenylbuta-1,3-dienylBODIPY dyes were successfully prepared, and their in vitro photodynamic activities against MCF-7 breast cancer cells were evaluated with a Thorlabs M660L4 660 nm LED (336 J · cm[Formula: see text]. The IC[Formula: see text] value of the monophenylbuta-1,3-dienylBODIPY was ca. 2.1 [Formula: see text]M, while that of the diphenylbuta-1,3-dienylBODIPY was > 50 [Formula: see text]M. Both dyes exhibited minimal dark toxicity. The results demonstrate that monosubstituted 2,6-dibromo-dimethylaminophenylbuta-1,3-dienylBODIPY dyes merit further in-depth study for use as photosensitizer dyes in photodynamic therapy.
