Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a tumor-ablative and function-sparing oncologic intervention. The relative simplicity of photosensitizer application followed by light activation resulting in the cytotoxic and vasculartoxic ...

In this paper, we report the photodegradation of three different chlorine photosensitizers (Photoditazine (R), Radachlorin (R), and Foscan (R)). The photosensitizer degradation was analyzed by changes in the fluorescence ...

Human oral cavity is colonized by a wide range of microorganisms, often organized in biofilms. These biofilms are responsible for the pathogenesis of caries and most periodontal diseases. A possible alternative to reduce ...

Photodynamic therapy involves administration of a photosensitizing drug and its subsequent activation by irradiation with a light source at wavelengths matching the absorption spectrum of the photosensitizer. In many ...

We report herein the physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of a new monobrominated derivative of Azure B and its parent compound. These dyes are used as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy and ...
