The present work is focussed on the principles of photodynamic therapy (PDT), emphasizing
the photochemical mechanisms of reactive oxygen species formation and the consequent …

Porphyrinic compounds are widespread in nature and play key roles in biological processes
such as oxygen transport in blood, enzymatic redox reactions or photosynthesis. In addition …

The interactions of several water-soluble ionic porphyrins with different ionic or neutral
surfactants in aqueous solutions were studied as a function of surfactant concentration. The …

Photosensitizers play a crucial role in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. In this
study, a third-generation aryl ether dendrimer porphyrin with 32 primary amine groups on …

Photo finish: A polymeric micelle system is formed in aqueous media by electrostatic
assembly of an anionic dendrimeric porphyrin and a poly (ethylene glycol) poly (L-lysine) …

Interactions of the water-soluble tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS4) with ionic
micelles in aqueous solutions have been studied by optical absorption, fluorescence …

The aggregate morphology of meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS 4) in
aqueous solution is investigated by using small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) technique …

The aggregation in water of the free bases and the diprotonated forms of p-sulfonatophenyl
