Methylene blue in place of acridine orange as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy of osteosarcoma.
We recently established a unique therapeutic modality for musculoskeletal sarcomas, combining acridine orange (AO) with photodynamic surgery (PDS), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiodynamic therapy (RDT); excellent results were obtained in the inhibition of local tumor recurrence after intralesional excision. However, AO is not yet approved for clinical use and intravenous injection. Therefor...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Candida albicans to photodynamic therapy using methylene blue and toluidine blue as photosensitizing dyes.
The increased resistance of Candida albicans to antibiotic therapy indicates the need for alternative treatments for oral candidiasis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been researched as an alternative tool to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms. It uses a combination of a photosensitizer and a visible light source. This study evaluated the susceptibility of C. albicans to PDT and compared the e...
متن کاملFolic acid conjugated ferritins as photosensitizer carriers for photodynamic therapy.
We coupled folic acid as a tumour targeting ligand to the surface of ferritins and loaded them with ZnF16Pc. The resulting nanoconjugates can efficiently hone in on 4T1 tumours in vivo, and, with photoirradiation, leading to suppressed tumour growth and tumour metastasis.
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy With Methylene Blue for Skin Ulcers Infected With Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Fusarium spp.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic modality with significant antimicrobial activity. We present 2 cases of chronic lower limb ulcers in which fungal and bacterial superinfection complicated management. PDT with methylene blue as the photosensitizer led to clinical and microbiological cure with no significant adverse effects. PDT with methylene blue is a valid option for the management ...
متن کاملComplexing Methylene Blue with Phosphorus Dendrimers to Increase Photodynamic Activity.
The efficiency of photodynamic therapy is limited mainly due to low selectivity, unfavorable biodistribution of photosensitizers, and long-lasting skin sensitivity to light. However, drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles may overcome the limitations mentioned above. Among others, dendrimers are particularly attractive as carriers, because of their globular architecture and high loading c...
