Synthesis of D-π-A type benzothiazole-pyridinium salt composite and its application as photo-degradation agent for amyloid fibrils

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2021 Oct 15:50:128324. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2021.128324. Epub 2021 Aug 14.

Abstract

We have synthesized a cyan fluorescent benzothiazole-pyridinium salt composite based on D-π-A architecture. This salt was found to work as not only a two- and three-photon excitable fluorophore but also a degradation agent against amyloid fibrils under LED irradiation conditions.

Keywords: Amyloid; Benzothiazole; Fluorescence; Photodynamic therapy; Pyridinium salt.
