    Abstract

    We report a specific lysosome targeted light-responsive CO-releasing molecule (Lyso-CORM). Lyso-CORM is very stable under dark conditions. CO and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation was effectively triggered under one photon and two photon excitation (800 nm) conditions. The cytotoxicity results demonstrated that Lyso-CORM showed good phototoxicity due to the synergistic effect of CO and 1O2 release, and its good biocompatibility, negligible dark toxicity and specific lysosome targeting make Lyso-CORM a potent candidate for phototherapeutic applications.
