Methylene Blue-Loaded Dissolving Microneedles: Potential Use in Photodynamic Antimicrobial Chemotherapy of Infected Wounds.
Photodynamic therapy involves delivery of a photosensitising drug that is activated by light of a specific wavelength, resulting in generation of highly reactive radicals. This activated species can cause destruction of targeted cells. Application of this process for treatment of microbial infections has been termed "photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy" (PACT). In the treatment of chronic w...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy with Hypericin Improved by Targeting HSP90 Associated Proteins
In this study we have focused on the response of SKBR-3 cells to both single 17-DMAG treatment as well as its combination with photodynamic therapy with hypericin. Low concentrations of 17-DMAG without any effect on survival of SKBR-3 cells significantly reduced metabolic activity, viability and cell number when combined with photodynamic therapy with hypericin. Moreover, IC10 concentation of 1...
متن کامل[Photodynamic therapy in localised prostate cancer].
Photodynamic therapy is based on the administration of an energy source in form of light of a specific wavelength, on a previously photosensitized tissue by a chemical compound, in the presence of oxygen, so that the great deal of free radicals and oxygen derivatives generated (hydroxyl compounds) produces necrosis of the treated tissue. Technique improvement during the last years has allowed i...
متن کاملDeveloping docetaxel-loaded nanocapsules: A promising approach for cancer therapy
This study has summarized the development of Docetaxel (DOC) loaded nanocapsules (NCs) intended for breast cancer (BC) therapy. These NCs are composed of a lipid core to encapsulate the hydrophobic DOC and a polymeric shell for surface functionalization. DOC was efficiently encapsulated within the oily core of NCs. The critical role of stabilizers on NCs stealthiness and anticancer drug efficac...
متن کاملHypericin-photodynamic therapy induces human umbilical vein endothelial cell apoptosis.
The conventional photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy (PDT), such as haematoporphyrin (HP), have not yet reached satisfactory therapeutic effects on port-wine stains (PWSs), due largely to the long-term dark toxicity. Previously we have showed that hypericin exhibited potent photocytotoxic effects on Roman chicken cockscomb model of PWSs. However, the molecular mechanism of hypericin-m...
