Photodynamic Efficiency: From Molecular Photochemistry to Cell Death
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinical modality used to treat cancer and infectious diseases. The main agent is the photosensitizer (PS), which is excited by light and converted to a triplet excited state. This latter species leads to the formation of singlet oxygen and radicals that oxidize biomolecules. The main motivation for this review is to suggest alternatives for achieving high-effici...
متن کاملFrom supramolecular photochemistry to the molecular computer
A molecule and its noncovalently bonded solvent shell can be termed “supermolecule”. It is assumed that its ground-state hypersurrace consists of many shallow local minima which have approximately the same energy and correspond to different arrangements of the solvent shell. At cryogenic temperatures each supermolecule sits in one of the different minima. Supermolecules might show different phy...
متن کاملThe photochemistry of sensitisers for photodynamic therapy
The preparation and photophysical properties of a number of water-soluble metallated phthalocyanines are described. These compounds have been shown to be effective photosensitizers for the destruction of tumours. The photophysics of various aluminium phthalocyanines of different degrees of sulphonation, from mono (S1) to tetra (S4); and of various disulphonated (S2) regioisomers was shown to be...
متن کاملFrom Molecular Photochemistry to Supramolecular Photochemistry. A Paradigm for the 1990s
A scientific theory may be viewed as a structure that is universally accepted by the community of practitioners and which has been termed the community's paradigm. 1 A mature science is governed by a single paradigm that sets the standards for legitimate work within the science it governs. The paradigm, being the set of beliefs which drives the intellectual activities of the paractitioners, coo...
متن کاملPhotochemistry of Photodynamic Biological Action of Photosensitizing Drug Tolazamide
Irradiation of sulfonamide derived oral antidiabetic drug, tolazamide (N-[(azepan-1ylamino) carbonyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, 1) in a phosphate buffered solution under aerobic atmosphere afforded two photoproducts by cleavage of S-N and C (O)-N bonds of urea units. When irradiated with linoleic acid it photoinduced lipid peroxidation. The insignificant decrease in lipid peroxidation test un...
