  • Title: Squaraine dyes in PDT: from basic design to in vivo demonstration.
    Author: Avirah RR, Jayaram DT, Adarsh N, Ramaiah D.
    Journal: Org Biomol Chem; 2012 Feb 07; 10(5):911-20. PubMed ID: 22179414.
    Abstract:
    The design and development of novel squaraine dyes as sensitisers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications has grown tremendously in the last decade from the time when a squaraine dye was proposed to be a potential candidate, to-date when the use of such dyes have been demonstrated in animal models for skin cancer. This perspective article highlights the basic design, tuning of absorption, triplet excited state and two-photon absorption properties and recent developments of the squaraines as PDT sensitisers.
