Product Information
6-Iodobenzo[d]thiazole (IBDT) is a photosensitizer that has been used in photodynamic therapy. It has been shown to have high quantum yields and long lifetimes, which allow for efficient light absorption and efficient generation of singlet oxygen. Photophysical studies have shown that this compound can be excited at wavelengths between 350 nm and 450 nm, which corresponds to the absorption maximum of human skin. This compound has also been found to be an effective inhibitor of bacterial growth in vitro.
