Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency depends on many factors including the incorporation of the photosensitizer (PS) in cell membranes and possible lipid hydroperoxidation. In this study, we show that hydroperoxidation ...

A steady-state and time-resolved study of the xanthene dye Eosin-Y (Eos) in the presence of amino-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers in alkaline aqueous solution is presented. Stationary photolysis experiments ...

Electron transfer (ET) rate constants were determined by means of lifetime measurements for the fluorescence quenching and by laser flash photolysis for the triplet quenching of the dye eosin Y by benzoquinones in acetonitrile. ...

Candida albicans is an opportunistic yeast that can cause oral candidosis through the formation of a biofilm, an important virulence factor that compromises the action of antifungal agents. The objective of this study was ...

The photophysics of the xanthene dye eosin-Y (Eos) was studied in reverse micelles (RMs) of sodium 1,4-bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) and benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium chloride (BHDC). Special interest was ...

Absorption spectroscopy experiments were carried out to examine the 1:1 supramolecular interaction between Eosin Y (EOS) and low generation G0-G3 poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers at neutral and basic media, aimed at ...

The photophysical behavior of eosin Y adsorbed onto microcrystalline cellulose was evaluated by reflectance spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and laser induced time-resolved luminescence. On increasing ...

Eosin (EOS) and its synthetic ester derivatives have adequate properties to be employed as histological markers for and as drugs for photodynamic therapy. However, they present a very complex protolytic and tautomeric ...
