RT Journal Article T1 BODIPYs revealing lipid droplets as valuable targets for photodynamic theragnosis A1 Tabero, Andrea A1 García-Garrido, Fernando A1 Prieto Castañeda, Alejandro A1 Palao, Eduardo A1 Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia A1 García-Moreno, Inmaculada A1 Villanueva Valdés, Miguel Ángel A1 Moya Cerero, Santiago De La A1 Ortiz, María José AB Endowing BODIPY PDT agents with the ability to probe lipid droplets is demonstrated to boost their phototoxicity, allowing the efficient use of highly fluorescent dyes (poor ROS sensitizers) as phototoxic agents. Conversely, this fact opens the way to the development of highly bright ROS photosensitizers for performing photodynamic theragnosis (fluorescence bioimaging and photodynamic therapy) from a single simple agent. On the other hand, the noticeable capability of some of the reported dyes to probe lipid droplets in different cell lines under different conditions reveals their use as privileged probes for advancing the study of interesting lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy.
