Abstract Reversibly controlled generation of singlet oxygen from photosensitizing spiropyran systems has the benefits of selective cell killing and controllable effect time, but is a challenging option for photodynamic therapies. We found that Fischer’s base-containing various spiropyran dyes have photoswitching properties for both fluorescence and singlet oxygen generation in aqueous solutions and cells, and demonstrated that spiropyrans dye featuring induced enhanced photosensitization and emission could be potentially applied in photodynamic therapy studies on tumor cells.
