Efficient light-induced reactive oxygen species production from a far-red ER-targeting BODIPY dye.

ABSTRACT: Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the ER evokes stress leading to immunogenic cell death. A red light activated BODIPY dye capable of subcellular localization within the ER producing high quantum yields of ROS is reported. The ability of this dye to act as a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent in breast cancer cells suggests promising organelle-targeted therapeutics.
