Singlet oxygen generation in porphyrin-doped polymeric surface coating enables antimicrobial effects on Staphylococcus aureus.
Surfaces can be coated with photosensitizer molecules, which generate singlet oxygen ((1)O2) when the surface is exposed to light. (1)O2 may diffuse from the coating and has the potential to kill microorganisms present on the surface. In the present study a derivative of the meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) was immobilized onto polyurethane (PU) after being sprayed and polymerized as a thin laye...
متن کاملAcene-doped polymer films: singlet oxygen dosimetry and protein sensing.
This paper describes thin films comprising acenes dispersed in a conjugated polymeric host that have a ratiometric photoluminescence response to singlet oxygen. These films also respond to irradiation of protein-bound sensitizers, which represents a solution to the problem of protein-conjugated polymer non-specific interactions.
متن کاملBODIPY-doped silica nanoparticles with reduced dye leakage and enhanced singlet oxygen generation
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising modality for cancer treatment. The essential element in PDT is the photosensitizer, which can be excited by light of a specific wavelength to generate cytotoxic oxygen species (ROS) capable of killing tumor cells. The effectiveness of PDT is limited in part by the low yield of ROS from existing photosensitizers and the unwanted side effects induced by t...
متن کاملControlled release of singlet oxygen using diphenylanthracene functionalized polymer nanoparticles.
Functionalized polymer nanoparticles react and store molecular oxygen for several weeks in the form of endoperoxides. On-demand controlled release of singlet oxygen by the particles is achieved by thermolysis.
