Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment which involves a
photosensitizer (PS), light at a specific wavelength for PS activation and oxygen, which …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established clinical treatment technology which utilizes
excitation light of a specific wavelength to activate photosensitizers (PSs) to generate …

The most common working mechanism of photodynamic therapy is based on high-toxicity
singlet oxygen, which is called Type II photodynamic therapy. But it is highly dependent on …

To improve the tumor-targeting efficacy of photodynamic therapy, biotin was conjugated with
chlorin e6 to develop a new tumor-targeting photosensitizer, Ce6-biotin. The Ce6-biotin had …

Cervical cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in women
worldwide. Despite advances in current therapies, women with advanced or recurrent …

A simple and efficient synthesis of novel zinc (II) phthalocyanines bearing triazole moieties
was described. The synthetic approach for preparation of the phthalocyanines 1 and 13 was …

The first example of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) with a cyanine dye–antibody conjugate is
reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sonodynamic efficacy of a trastuzumab …

Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are promising candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to
their absorption in the phototherapeutic window. However, the highly aromatic Pc core leads …

In this study, we aimed to investigate the photodiode properties of the chalcone substituted-
phthalocyanine complex due to the important physical properties of the phthalocyanine and …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) employing two-photon (TP) excitation is increasingly
recognized to induce cell damage selectively in targeted areas, underscoring the …
