A novel set of symmetric methylene blue derivatives exhibits effective bacteria photokilling - a structure-response study.

چکیده
This study focuses on the structure-response relationship of symmetrically substituted phenothiazinium dyes. Four hydrophilic derivatives with the ability of additional hydrogen bonding (, ) or additional electrostatic interaction (, ) were synthesized, photophysically characterized and compared to the parent compound methylene blue (MB, ) and a lipophilic derivative () without additional coordination sites. Derivative was most effective against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli reaching a maximum photodynamic efficacy of >5log10 steps (≥99.999%) of bacteria killing in 10 minutes (5 μM, 30 J cm(-2)) without inherent dark toxicity after one single treatment with the incoherent light source PDT1200 (λmax = 660 nm, 50 mW cm(-2)). Interestingly, one derivative with two additional primary positive charges () showed selective killing of Escherichia coli (5 μM, 30 J cm(-2), 4log10 steps inactivation (≥99.99%)) and no antimicrobial effect on Staphylococcus aureus. This might allow the development of a new generation of photosensitizers with higher antimicrobial efficacy and selectivity for future applications.

Photodynamic inactivation of bacteria (PIB) by efficient singlet oxygen photosensitizers might be a beneficial alternative to antibiotics in the struggle against multiresistant bacteria. Phenothiazinium dyes belong to the most prominent classes of such sensitizers due to their intense absorption in the red-light region (λ(abs, max) ca. 600-680 nm, ε > 50,000 L mol(-1) cm(-1)), their low toxicit...
متن کاملPhytotoxicity of methylene blue to rice seedlings
Methylene blue is widely used in various industrial branches. Due to insufficient treatment, its occurrence in wastewater is frequently detected, which may result in serious environment problems to aquatic organisms. Hydroponic experiments were conducted with rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L. cv. XZX 45) exposed to methylene blue to determine the effective concentration using relative gr...

Introduction: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are used in treating pathologic conditions such as fever, pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and consequently prostaglandin production. Recently , the discovery of different isoforms of this enzyme, Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) andCyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), has led to the synthesis and introduction of novel drugs with select...
