| abstract |
The present invention discloses dye-sulfenate derivatives and their bioconjugates for dual phototherapy of tumors and other lesions. The compounds of the present invention may contain either a mixture of type 1 and type 2 agents or a single entity that integrates both units in the same molecules. The compounds are designed to produce both type 1 and type 2 phototherapeutic effect at once using dual wavelength light source that will produce singlet oxygen and free radicals at the lesion of interest. |
