Water‐Soluble Ammonium BODIPYs: Synthesis, Photophysics, Photogelation, and Antimicrobial Activity
Cationic ammonium BODIPY compounds were developed as water‐soluble multifunctional antimicrobial photoinitiators for the generation of biocompatible hydrogels. One of the ammonium BODIPY compounds (BODIPYC6H4NMe2Et) was able to photoinitiate the crosslinking of poly(vinyl alcohol) methacrylate (PVA‐MA) and gelatin‐methacryoyl (Gel‐MA) using visible ...

Curcumin Nanoformulations for Dermatological Applications: From Nutraceuticals to Nanocarriers
Nanotechnology‐based delivery platforms enhance the cutaneous administration of curcumin. Loading free curcumin into polymeric micelles, metal‐based nanoparticles, nanogels/hydrogels, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, or nanoemulsions/nanocrystals helps address its low solubility, poor stability and limited skin permeation. As a result, these systems
