A solid-phase synthetic (SPS) method was developed for the preparation of BODIPY-labeled bioactive compounds that allows for fast and simple synthesis of conjugates for use in fluorescent microscopy. The approach was used to visualize cellular uptake and distribution of cytotoxic triterpenes in cancer cells.
