Enhanced photodynamic leishmanicidal activity of hydrophobic zinc phthalocyanine within archaeolipids containing liposomes
In this work, the in vitro anti-Leishmania activity of photodynamic liposomes made of soybean phosphatidylcholine, sodium cholate, total polar archaeolipids (TPAs) extracted from the hyperhalophile archaea Halorubrum tebenquichense and the photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPcAL) was compared to that of ultradeformable photodynamic liposomes lacking TPAs (ZnPcUDLs). We found that while ZnPc...

متن کاملDevelopment of tumor vascular endothelium targeted liposomes containing zinc phthalocyanine for application in photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modality for the removal of solid tumors, in which a photosensitized tumor is irradiated with intense light to activate the photosensitizer and induce local hyperoxidative stress. The production of reactive molecular species at the tumor site results in massive tumor cell death, vascular shutdown, and a prolonged antitumor immune response. Promising results have ...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of photodynamic therapy performed with nanospheres containing zinc-phthalocyanine
BACKGROUND The increasing incidence of cancer and the search for more effective therapies with minimal collateral effects have prompted studies to find alternative new treatments. Among these, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proposed as a very promising new modality in cancer treatment with the lowest rates of side effects, revealing itself to be particularly successful when the photosensit...
متن کاملIn vitro interaction of zinc(II)-phthalocyanine-containing liposomes and plasma lipoproteins.
We have studied the interaction of small unilamellar liposomes containing zinc(II)-phthalocyanine (Zn-Pc) with human plasma lipoproteins. High-, low- and very low-density lipoproteins (HDL, LDL and VLDL), were purified from plasma and combined in amounts reflecting their natural abundance in plasma. After short periods of incubation at 37 degrees C, the bulk of Zn-Pc was incorporated into HDL a...
