Activatable photosensitizers for imaging and therapy
TL;DR: This work focuses on the design and implementation of Activatable Photosensitizer Design Considerations, a very simple and straightforward process that simplifies and automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of Activation Mechanism Selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermolecular and supramolecular photoinduced electron transfer processes of fullerene–porphyrin/phthalocyanine systems
TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of photoinduced electron transfer reaction rates on the molecular structures of the donor and acceptor entities results in improving the capture and storage of solar energy, and the relation between structures and photochemical reactivities of these novel supramolecular systems are discussed in relation to the efficiency of charge separation and charge recombination.

TL;DR: In this article, a double photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photohyperthermia (PHT) cancer phototherapy system using a single laser was proposed, where ZnPc-SWNHox-BSA was injected into tumors that were subcutaneously transplanted into mice, and the tumors almost disappeared upon 670-nm laser irradiation.

Analysis of fluorescence decay kinetics from variable-frequency phase-shift and modulation data
TL;DR: Analysis of fluorescence phase-shift and modulation data by the method of nonlinear least squares to determine the values of the lifetimes and fractional intensities for a mixture of exponentially decaying fluorophores broadly confirms the predicted resolving potential of variable-frequency phase-modulation fluorometry.

Hydroporphyrins of the meso-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin series as tumour photosensitizers
TL;DR: Four new hydroporphyrins related to the tetra(hydroxyphenyl)porphyrins show the expected strong absorption bands in the red region of the visible spectrum and are found to be very effective tumour photosensitizers.
