Controlled and Selective Photo-oxidation of Amyloid-β Fibrils by Oligomeric <i>p</i> -Phenylene Ethynylenes

2021-11-04

Abstract excerpt

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been explored as a therapeutic strategy to clear toxic amyloid aggregates involved in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. A major limitation of PDT is off-target oxidation, which can be lethal for the surrounding cells. We have shown that a novel class of oligo- p -phenylene ethynylene-based compounds (OPEs) exhibit selective binding and fluorescence turn-on in...
