Journal Article
Ruiz-González, R., Gulías, Ò., Ruiz-González, R., Bresolí-Obach, R., Gulías, Ò., Agut, M., …Giuntini, F. (2017). NanoSOSG : a nanostructured fluorescent probe for detection of intracellular singlet oxygen. Angewandte Chemie, 56(11), 2885-2888. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201609050

A biocompatible fluorescent nanoprobe for singlet oxygen (¹O₂) detection in biological systems was designed, synthesized, and characterized, that circumvents many of the limitations of the molecular probe Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green® (SOSG). This wid... Read More about NanoSOSG : a nanostructured fluorescent probe for detection of intracellular singlet oxygen.

Mechanisms of growth inhibition of primary prostate epithelial cells following gamma irradiation or photodynamic therapy including senscence, necrosis, and autophagy, but not apoptosis (2015)
Journal Article
Frame, F. M., Savoie, H., Bryden, F., Giuntini, F., Mann, V. M., Simms, M. S., …Maitland, N. J. (2016). Mechanisms of growth inhibition of primary prostate epithelial cells following gamma irradiation or photodynamic therapy including senscence, necrosis, and autophagy, but not apoptosis. Cancer medicine, 5(1), 61-73. https://doi.org/10.1002/cam4.553

In comparison to more differentiated cells, prostate cancer stem-like cells are radioresistant, which could explain radio-recurrent prostate cancer. Improvement of radiotherapeutic efficacy may therefore require combination therapy. We have investiga...

Huisgen-based conjugation of water-soluble porphyrins to deprotected sugars: Towards mild strategies for the labelling of glycans (2014)
Journal Article
Giuntini, F., Bryden, F., Daly, R., Scanlan, E. M., & Boyle, R. W. (2014). Huisgen-based conjugation of water-soluble porphyrins to deprotected sugars: Towards mild strategies for the labelling of glycans. Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 12(8), 1203-1206. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ob42306a

Fully deprotected alkynyl-functionalised mono- and oligosaccharides undergo CuAAC-based conjugation with water-soluble porphyrin azides in aqueous environments. The mild reaction conditions are fully compatible with the presence of labile glycosidic...
