Complementary to classical treatment methods used against cancer, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received increasing attention over the last years. PDT relies on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon light irradiation to trigger cell death. As the wavelength employed during such treatments directly influences the light penetration depth and therefore the possibility to treat deep seated tumors or large tumors, research efforts have been made towards the development of photosensitizers (PSs) with an absorption in the phototherapeutic window (600-900 nm). To tackle this drawback, we report herein the preparation and characterization of new RuII-containing PDT PSs, that are based on a [Ru(bipy)3]2+ core (1; bipy: 2,2′-bipyridine) and that are extended with Me groups (2) or vinyl dimethylamino groups (3). As anticipated with our design, we found a red-shift of 65 nm of the maximum absorption of complex 3 in comparison to complex 1. In addition, we report on the in-depth photophys. properties as well as (photo-)cytotoxicity against cervical cancerous HeLa cells of the investigated compounds In addition to this study using 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, there are many other studies that have used 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Quality Control of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) was used in this study.
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.Quality Control of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
