Stimuli-Responsive Benzothiazole-Phenothiazine derivatives: Mechanochromism, AIE, Acid Sensing, and Anticancer Efficacy in Benzo[a]pyrene-Induced Cancer Models

Mechanofluorochromic (MFC) materials are emerging as versatile candidate for optoelectronic and biomedical applications. In the present work, we designed and synthesized four MFC materials, namely BT-PTZ-1, BT-PTZ-2, BT-PTZO-1, and BT-PTZO-2,...
