Polymeric micelles to deliver photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy.
Polymeric micelles are emerging as attractive drug delivery systems. Hydrophobic drugs including photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy can be covalently bound or physically entrapped in the core of the micelles and thus be systemically delivered to, for example, tumors using passive or active targeting strategies. Polymers used for photosensitizer encapsulation include pluronics, poly(ethyl...
متن کاملIntracellular GSH-activated galactoside photosensitizers for targeted photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.
Ligand-targeted cancer therapeutics has been developed to minimize non-specific cytotoxicity via ligand-drug conjugates during the past few decades. We present here the design and synthesis of a GSH-activated amphiphilic photosensitizer conjugated with galactose (TPP-S-S-Gal) for targeted photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the galactoside photosensitizer as supramolecular amphiphiles can self-a...
متن کاملNew polymeric photosensitizers*
Novel polymeric photosensitizers for singlet oxygen production in water are described. The polymers contain rose bengal (4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2',4',5',7'–tetraiodo-fluorescein) chromophores covalently attached to the polymer chain. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen formation and photooxidation of phenol in water have been determined. The methods of separation of photosensitizer from the react...
متن کاملIntegrative Nanomedicine: Treating Cancer With Nanoscale Natural Products
Finding safer and more effective treatments for specific cancers remains a significant challenge for integrative clinicians and researchers worldwide. One emerging strategy is the use of nanostructured forms of drugs, vaccines, traditional animal venoms, herbs, and nutraceutical agents in cancer treatment. The recent discovery of nanoparticles in traditional homeopathic medicines adds another p...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Novel Purpurinimides as Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy
A series of novel purpurinimides with long wavelength absorption were designed and synthesized to develop novel and potential photosensitizers. These compounds were investigated through reduction, oxidation, rearrangement reaction and amidation reactions of methyl pheophorbide a. They demonstrated a considerable bathochromic shift of the major absorption band in the red region of the optical sp...
