We report how the conjugation of coelenterazine (CTZ) to BODIPY retains its activity as a versatile substrate for luciferase-type enzymes opening the possibility of taking advantage of BODIPY's fluorescent properties and capacity to generate singlet oxygen. Bioluminescence imaging-guided photodynamic therapy or O-triggered drug release are potential applications of these conjugates.
