Complexing Methylene Blue with Phosphorus Dendrimers to Increase Photodynamic Activity.
The efficiency of photodynamic therapy is limited mainly due to low selectivity, unfavorable biodistribution of photosensitizers, and long-lasting skin sensitivity to light. However, drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles may overcome the limitations mentioned above. Among others, dendrimers are particularly attractive as carriers, because of their globular architecture and high loading c...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Candida albicans to photodynamic therapy using methylene blue and toluidine blue as photosensitizing dyes.
The increased resistance of Candida albicans to antibiotic therapy indicates the need for alternative treatments for oral candidiasis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been researched as an alternative tool to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms. It uses a combination of a photosensitizer and a visible light source. This study evaluated the susceptibility of C. albicans to PDT and compared the e...
متن کاملThe Photodynamic Inactivation of Phage Precursor by Methylene Blue
Methylene blue added to suspensions of activated staphylococci in amounts sufficient to furnish 1 x 10(5) molecules of dye/bacterium inactivates the phage precursor content of the cells without causing cell death when the mixtures are exposed to strong light of 4000-8000 A. There is a lag phase of approximately 15 minutes in the photodynamic inactivation of phage precursor by methylene blue. Th...
متن کاملStabilized with Methylene Blue
The in vitro viability, chemotaxis, and labeling stability of leukocytes labeled using 99mTc-exametazime stabilized with methylene blue were evaluated and compared with those obtained using nonstabilized 99mTc-exametazime. Methods: Two identical leukocyte populations, from 30 healthy donors, were labeled simultaneously using freshly prepared and 2-h-old stabilized 99mTc-exametazime. The followi...
متن کاملInteraction of cationic phosphorus dendrimers with lipid membranes
Large unilamellar liposomes and multilamellar vesicles consisting of DMPC interacted with cationic phosphorus-containing dendrimers CPDs G3 and G4. DSC and ζ -potential measurements have shown that liposomal-dendrimeric molecular recognition occurs due to the interaction between the complementary surface groups. Calorimetric studies indicate that the enthalpy of the transition of the lipids tha...
