Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) are
techniques that combine the effects of visible light irradiation with subsequent biochemical …

We report the synthesis of novel inorganic contamination-free photosensitizers based on
colloidal silicon nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation in pure deionized water. We show …

In this work several symmetrical indolenine squaraine dyes with different groups positioned
on the four-membered central ring, such as sulfur, barbituric acid, amino and methylamino …

Photodynamic therapy is a medical modality developed for the treatment of several diseases
of oncological and non-oncological etiology that requires the presence of a photosensitizer …

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of cell death by photodynamic
therapy (PDT) in the Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line. The present study evaluates the …

The creation and application of new low-toxic photosensitizers for the luminescence
diagnostics of cancer are considered. The new photosensitizers weakly generate singlet …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment on neoplastic pathologic tissues,
which involves the administration of a photosensitizing agent followed by the exposure of …

The synthesis and characterization of several indolenine-based symmetrical squaraine dyes
is herein reported. These compounds, possessing different amine groups bound to the …

Hypericin (HY) is a photoactive aromatic dianthraquinone that is considered a potent
photodynamic agent. In this study, hypericin and two other photosensitizers, a …

Porphyrinoid-based photodynamic inactivation (PDI) provides a promising approach to
treating multidrug-resistant infections. However, available agents for PDI still have …
