From classic BODIPY to multifunctional Wazaby platform

Séminaire du Prof. Ewen Bodio (ICMUB – Université Bourgogne-Franche-Comté)

Abstract :

BODIPY is one of the most versatile fluorophore (high quantum yield, high brightness, stable, synthesizable at gram-scale…), but its emission in the visible region of light spectrum and its poor water-solubility hamper its use for in vivo applications. This lecture will describe how the optimization a BODIPY-based theranostic led to the design of a multifunctional platform suitable for in vivo optical imaging.
