Photosensitizer-7
Photosensitizer-7 is a endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted photosensitizer (PS) (λab = 610 nm, λem = 622 nm). Photosensitizer-7shows an IC50 of 4.006 μM in HeLa cells and 3.28 μM in MCF-7 cells under light irradiation. Photosensitizer-7 exhibits dose-dependent cellular uptake and predominant colocalization with ER. Photosensitizer-7 induces dose-dependent intracellular ROS generation, reduces mitochondrial membrane potential, and increases apoptosis upon light irradiation in cells. Photosensitizer-7 significantly inhibits tumor growth in MCF-7 tumor-bearing mice. Photosensitizer-7 can be used for the study of photodynamic anticancer applications.

Biological Activity
Photosensitizer-7 (Compound 4j) exhibits an absorption maximum at 610 nm with a molar extinction coefficient of 53,000 M-1cm-1, a fluorescence emission maximum at 622 nm, a fluorescence quantum yield of 0.38, and a singlet oxygen quantum yield of 0.44[1].
Photosensitizer-7 (24 h) shows an IC50 of 4.006 μM in HeLa cells and 3.28 μM in MCF-7 cells under light irradiation, while its IC50 under dark conditions is 19.93 μM in HeLa cells and 135.9 μM in MCF-7 cells[1].
Photosensitizer-7 (2-8 μM, 24 h) induces negligible intracellular ROS production in MCF-7 cells under dark conditions, while under light irradiation, it triggers a significant dose-dependent increase in ROS levels[1].
Photosensitizer-7 (2-8 μM, 24 h) causes a dose-dependent reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and increases the apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cells under light excitation[1].
