The molecule shows an appreciable change in absorption and emission spectra at 75% water-acetonitrile mixture compared to pure acetonitrile. In water-acetonitrile mixture, it displays aggregate-induced emission (AIE) bands. New emission peaks are observed at 560 nm and 630 nm, corresponding to LE (locally excited) and ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) states of CBZ-BDP aggregates. The fluorescence anisotropy studies of CBZ-BDP in glycerol medium show its better sensitivity towards the microenvironment. CBZ-BDP was used to probe various microheterogeneous systems like bile salts, pluronics, and lipid bilayer systems in aqueous medium. The dye displays sensitive variation in emission intensity and fluorescence anisotropy in sodium cholate (NaC) bile salt in aqueous medium as a function of the bile salt concentration. The molecule detects the temperature-induced phase transitions in pluronic P123 and F127, as well as 1,2-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) lipid bilayer systems in aqueous medium. These studies strongly suggest that CBZ-BDP can be used as an efficient fluorescent probe in sensing the micro-environmental changes in bile salts, pluronics, and lipid bilayers in aqueous medium. The imaging studies of CBZ-BDP-embedded Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) were carried out. The molecule stains the lipid bilayers and displays bright-green fluorescent images, suggesting its potential in lipid bilayer imaging.</p>","PeriodicalId":98,"journal":{"name":"Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142870584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aquatic concentrations of certain filters have sporadically exceeded 10 μg/L, although most measurements remain below 1 µg/L, which is below commonly reported toxicity levels. UVF have also been detected in aquatic organisms, typically ranging from nondetectable levels to a few hundred ng/g, depending on the species. The toxic effects from UVF, such as coral bleaching and diminished growth, have been observed in laboratory settings, however, toxicity tends to manifest only at significantly higher levels than what is typically detected in aquatic environments.

It explores their mechanisms, characteristics, and applications, offering insights into their potential contributions to advancing PDT. This extensive review delves into the preclinical and clinical landscape of natural PSs for PDT, shedding light on their diverse applications and promising outcomes.
