Photosensitization of coronene–purine hybrids for photodynamic therapy
Photosensitization properties of coronene-purine (Cor-P) hybrids for photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been investigated in this work. Eight hybrid Cor-P models have been designed by the additional of adenine (A) and guanine (G) nucleobase to Cor species. The evaluated absorption and emission energies indicated that the singular models are not good at all for PDT process whereas their hybrid mode...
متن کاملPhotosensitization by drugs*
Certain drugs are known to elicit photosensitivity side effects. A satisfactory understanding of the involved mechanistic aspects is necessary to anticipate the photosensitizing potential. We have used tiaprofenic acid (TPA), a photosensitizing nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug, to illustrate the methodology followed to address this problem. After studying the photophysical and photochemical p...
متن کاملPsoriasis treatment: traditional therapy.
Even before the recent development of biological agents, a long list of effective treatments has been available for patients with psoriasis. Topical therapies such as corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and retinoids are used for localised disease. Phototherapy including broadband ultraviolet B (UVB), narrowband UVB, PUVA, and climatotherapy are effective for more extensive disease. Systemic ...
متن کامل5-Aminolaevulinic acid peptide prodrugs enhance photosensitization for photodynamic therapy.
Intracellular porphyrin generation following administration of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) has been widely used in photodynamic therapy for a range of malignant and nonmalignant lesions. However, ALA is relatively hydrophilic and lacks stability at physiologic pH, limiting its bioavailability. We have investigated more lipophilic, uncharged ALA-peptide prodrugs based on phenylalanyl-ALA conjug...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy Using Endogenous Photosensitization for Gastrointestinal Tumors
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel approach in the treatment of carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract. This review defines PDT, discusses means of photosensitization and considers the mechanisms by which PDT causes cell death of the target tissue while at the same time avoid damage to normal tissues. Additional considerations include the time of PDT application, activation of the photosen...
