Photodynamic therapy (PDT)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a comparatively novel therapeutic method involving a safe light source and a light-sensitive substance, termed as photosensitizers (PSs), such as methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue (TBO), sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine, chlorine derivatives, nontoxic indocyanine green (ICG), and curcumin (CUR). (1) The combination of a nontoxic PS with low-intensity visible li...
متن کاملNanofabricated upconversion nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy.
We present a novel process for the production of three-layer Composite Nanoparticles (CNPs) in the size range 100-300 nm with an up-converting phosphor interior, a coating of porphyrin photosensitizer, and a biocompatible PEG outer layer to prevent clearance by the reticuloendothelial system. We show that these CNPs produce millimolar amounts of singlet oxygen at NIR intensities far less than o...
متن کاملUse of Upconverting Nanoparticles in Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging and promising modality for the treatment of cancer. PDT is based on the concept that photosensitizers can be preferentially localized in tumour tissues upon systemic administration. Irradiation with an appropriate wavelength of light excites these molecules to transfer their energy to molecular oxygen in their surroundings, resulting in the formation of...
متن کاملUpconversion Nanoparticles Upgrading the Photodynamic therapy
Upconversion nanoparticles capable of converting near-infrared light to visible/UV light are being proved to be efficient in photodynamic therapy. Recently, their multipotent roles as nanocarriers, nanoprobes and transducers has extended their sustained use in diagnosis, imaging, treatment of diseases and many more which are reviewed below.
متن کاملPhotodynamic Inactivation of Endopathogenic Microbiota Using Curcumin- mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy
Root canal disinfection is one of the main factors governing success of endodontic therapy. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is presented as a promising antimicrobial therapy that can eliminate microbiota present in infected root canal systems. In this study, a series of experiments investigated the effects of aPDT on cell viability and biofilm degradation ability of endopathogenic mic...
