Preferential localization of varying forms of photoactive 1,8-naphthalimide compounds within the atheromatous arterial wall

We are currently working with a novel class of photoactivated 4‐amino substituted 1,8‐naphthalimide compounds for tissue bonding. With promising results in other tissues, we are pursuing potential vascular applications. This study focused on determining the appropriate compound formulation(s), concentration, and exposure times to optimize penetration of the heterogeneous arterial wall.
