title: Oxovanadium(IV)-based near-IR PDT agents: design to biological evaluation.
abstract: An oxovanadium(IV) complex of dipyridophenazine, as a potent metal-based PDT agent, shows efficient DNA photocleavage activity at near-IR region and high photocytotoxicity in both UV-A and visible light in HeLa cells.
