Intracellular Photodynamic Activity of Chlorin e6 Containing Nanoparticles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanoparticles (NPs) containing the photo-therapeutic dye Chlorin e6 (Ce6) have been explored in multiple studies for photo-dynamic therapy (PDT). However, little work has been carried out regarding their PDT efficacy, relative to other dye containing NPs. Here polyacrylamide nanoparticles (PAAm NPs) containing Ce6 were prepared and their PDT efficacy compared to previously reported methylene blue (MB) containing PAAmNPs. It was found that, for identical NP dosages and photon doses, the Ce6 NPs are an order of magnitude more potent in killing cancer cells.

Insulin-mediated intracellular targeting enhances the photodynamic activity of chlorin e6.
Photodynamic therapy has been applied quite extensively over the last few years, whereby the activation of photosensitizers by light causes the production of reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen, which is cytotoxic. The goal of this study was the enhancement of the photodynamic activity of photosensitizers through their delivery to specific, sensitive intracellular compartments of tar...

AIM To synthesize and to study for photodynamic activity a composite photosensitizer consisting of chlorin e6 and human serum albumin nanoparticles (HSA NPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Starting from sorption-purified HSA, the albumin nanoparticles with a different degree of lysine residues cross-linking (10; 20; 40, and 100%) were obtained by the coacervation method. The HSA NPs were used for syn...
متن کاملComparison of a new nanoform of the photosensitizer chlorin e6, based on plant phospholipids, with its free form
Photodynamic therapy is an advanced method of treating cancer and various benign diseases, including infections. It uses light-activated molecules [photosensitizers (PSs)] to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength. This study examined the photophysical and photosensitizing activity of the PS chlorin e6 incorporated in a delivery system based o...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging theranostic modality for various cancers and diseases. The focus of this study was the development of tumor-targeting albumin nanoparticles containing photosensitizers for efficient PDT. To produce tumor-targeting albumin nanoparticles, the hydrophobic photosensitizer, chlorin e6 (Ce6), was chemically conjugated to human serum albumin (HSA). The conjuga...

Protein nanoparticles as nanocarriers are of particular interest in the field of cancer therapy. Nevertheless, so far a facile fabrication of theranostic protein nanoparticles have been explored with limited success for cancer imaging and therapy. In this work, we demonstrate the controllable synthesis of size-tunable Gd2O3@albumin conjugating photosensitizer (PS) (GA-NPs) using hollow albumin ...
