Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of Biodistribution, Pharmacokinetics, and Photosensitivity with the Delivery Vehicle of a Bacteriochlorin Photosensitizer for Photodynamic Therapy

Raquel Saavedra, +4 more
- 01 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: Differences in biodistribution with the various formulations, and in pharmacokinetics between the two animal species with the same formulation, are attributed to the interaction of the formulations with low‐density lipoproteins (LDLs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties of halogenated and sulfonated porphyrins relevant for the selection of photosensitizers in anticancer and antimicrobial therapies

Barbara Pucelik, +5 more
- 10 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Rational substitution of tetraphenylporphyrins improves their photodynamic properties and informs on strategies to obtain photosensitizers for efficient PDT and PDI, however, the design of the photosenskillers must be accompanied by the development of tailored drug formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopic properties and photodynamic effects of new lipophilic porphyrin derivatives: efficacy, localisation and cell death pathways.

Gabriela Kramer-Marek, +9 more
- 03 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: Good photostability, high quantum yield of singlet oxygen and biological effectiveness indicate that the examined lipophilic porphyrin derivatives offer quite interesting prospects of photodynamic therapy application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel porphyrins and a chlorin as efficient singlet oxygen photosensitizers for photooxidation of naphthols or phenols to quinones

Dina Murtinho, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, four porphyrins and one chlorin having aromatic groups at the meso position have been synthesized and tested as potential sensitizers for the photooxidation of phenols.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical assessment of classical and semi-classical models for electron transfer reactions in solution

Sebastiäo J, +3 more
- 01 Mar 1998 - 
TL;DR: The microscopic descriptions of electron transfer reactions given by Marcus theory and by the intersecting-state model (ISM) are compared with ab initio calculations on O2/O2- and C6H6/C6.
