Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinactivation of Escherichia coli (SURE2) without intracellular uptake of the photosensitizer
Annegret Preuß,L. Zeugner,Steffen Hackbarth,Maria A. F. Faustino,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Beate Roeder +6 more
TL;DR: The efficiency of the photodynamic growth inhibition of Escherichia coli (SURE2) was proved in a comparative study of a neutral and a cationic photosensitizer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phthalocyanine Thio‐Pyridinium Derivatives as Antibacterial Photosensitizers†
Joana B Pereira,Eliana F. A. Carvalho,Maria A. F. Faustino,Rosa Fernandes,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Newton C. M. Gomes,Angela Cunha,Adelaide Almeida,João P. C. Tomé +9 more
TL;DR: The synthesis of three new tetra‐ and octa‐thio‐pyridinium phthalocyanine derivatives is described, which generates high amounts of singlet oxygen, does not aggregate in PBS and is highly fluorescent, which makes it an effective PS and a promising fluorescent labeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new insight on nanomagnet–porphyrin hybrids for photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms
Eliana Alves,João M. M. Rodrigues,Maria A. F. Faustino,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Zhi Lin,Ângela Cunha,Maria Helena Nadais,João P. C. Tomé,João P. C. Tomé,Adelaide Almeida +10 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the photostability and outstanding antibacterial properties of hybrids 6 and 7, as well as their capability of being reused and potential of being recycled, which envisages a promising application in water disinfection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy against Endodontic Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans Mono and Mixed Biofilms in the Presence of Photosensitizers: A Comparative Study with Classical Endodontic Irrigants.
Patrícia Diogo,Chantal Fernandes,Francisco Caramelo,Marta Mota,Isabel M. Miranda,Maria A. F. Faustino,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,Marciana P. Uliana,Kleber T. de Oliveira,João Miguel Santos,Teresa Gonçalves +10 more
TL;DR: APDT with Zn(II)e6Me activated by red light against monospecies and mixed biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans showed to be an efficient antimicrobial strategy deserving further studies leading to a future clinical usage in endodontic disinfection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of novel N-linked porphyrin-phthalocyanine dyads.
Ana R. M. Soares,M. Victoria Martínez-Díaz,Anita Bruckner,Ana M. V. M. Pereira,João P. C. Tomé,Cristina M. A. Alonso,Maria A. F. Faustino,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,Augusto C. Tomé,Artur M. S. Silva,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Tomas Torres, ,‡ and,Dirk M. Guldi +12 more
TL;DR: Two types of covalently NH-linked porphyrin-phthalocyanine dyads, connected either through the meso phenyl group or the beta-pyrrolic position, have been synthesized following statistical condensation methodologies for phthalocyanin preparation and palladium-catalyzed amination methods.
