Liposomal Formulations of Novel BODIPY Dimers as Promising Photosensitizers for Antibacterial and Anticancer Treatment.

Synthesis, photochemical properties, liposomal encapsulation, and in vitro photodynamic activity studies of novel BODIPY dimer connected at positions and its brominated and iodinated analogs were described. UV-Vis measurements indicated that the dimeric structure of obtained BODIPYs did not significantly influence the positions of the absorption maxima. Emission properties and singlet oxygen generation studies revealed a strong heavy atom effect of brominated and iodinated BODIPY dimers, manifested by fluorescence intensity reduction and increased singlet oxygen generation ability compared to analog without halogen atoms.

Determination of Reactive Oxygen or Nitrogen Species and Novel Volatile Organic Compounds in the Defense Responses of Tomato Plants against Induced by TRS 106.

In the present study, TRS 106 decreased grey mould disease caused by in tomato plants ( L.) by enhancing their defense responses. Generally, plants belonging to the 'Remiz' variety, which were infected more effectively by than 'Perkoz' plants, generated more reactive molecules such as superoxide (O) and peroxynitrite (ONOO), and less hydrogen peroxide (HO), S-nitrosothiols (SNO), and green leaf volatiles (GLV).
