Cationic photosensitizers have good binding ability with negatively charged bacteria and fungi, exhibiting broad applications potential in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). However, cationic often display unsatisfactory transkingdom selectivity between mammalian cells pathogens, especially for eukaryotic fungi. It is unclear which biomolecular sites are more efficient damage, owing to the lack of systematic research same photosensitizer system. Herein, a series aggregation-induced emission (AIE) derivatives (CABs) (using berberine (BBR) as core) different length alkyl chains successfully designed synthesized flexible modulation cellular activities. The BBR core can efficiently produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) achieve high-performance aPDT . Through precise regulation chain length, bindings, localizations, killing effects CABs achieved investigated systematically among bacteria, cells. found that intracellular active substances, not membranes, damage aPDT. Moderate enable effectively kill Gram-negative fungi light, while still maintaining excellent cell blood compatibility.
