متن کاملPhotosensitizing properties of a boronated phthalocyanine: studies at the molecular and cellular level.
A synthetic procedure has been developed for the preparation of a Zn-phthalocyanine peripherally substituted with a dodecaborane. The absorption spectrum of the derivative is typical of the phthalocyanine chromophore. Moreover, the boronated phthalocyanine exhibits a high photosensitizing efficiency against a model biological substrate, such as N-acetyl-L-tryptophanamide, and a singlet oxygen q...
متن کاملFunctional Mitochondria Are Important for the Effect of Resveratrol.
Resveratrol (Resv) is a polyphenol reported to modulate mitochondrial activity. The aim was to use HeLa and 143B cells to characterize the action of Resv on mitochondrial activity, cell size and proliferation using wild type (WT) and Rho 0 cells deficient in mitochondrial DNA. In both HeLa WT and Rho 0 cells, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was increased at 20 µM Resv after 24 h, whereas only...
متن کاملSelective tumor kill of cerebral glioma by photodynamic therapy using a boronated porphyrin photosensitizer.
The prognosis for patients with the high-grade cerebral glioma glioblastoma multiforme is poor. The median survival for primary tumors is < 12 months, with most recurring at the site of the original tumor, indicating that a more aggressive local therapy is required to eradicate the unresectable "nests" of tumor cells invading into adjacent brain. Two adjuvant therapies with the potential to des...
متن کاملMitochondria: A Therapeutic Target for Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The exact causes of neuronal damage are unknown, but mounting evidence indicates that mitochondrial-mediated pathways contribute to the underlying mechanisms of dopaminergic neuronal cell death both in PD patients and in PD animal models. Mitochondria are organized in a highly dynamic tubular network that is continu...
