1. An insight on the role of photosensitizer nanocarriers for Photodynamic Therapy
ABSTRACT Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modality of cancer treatment in which tumor cells are destroyed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by photosensitizers following its activation with visible or near infrared light. The PDT success is dependent on different factors namely on the efficiency of the photosensitizer deliver and targeting ability. In

2. Bacterial Cellulose Membranes as a Potential Drug Delivery System for Photodynamic Therapy of Skin Cancer
The development of drug delivery systems for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly demanded due to the hydrophobicity presented by most of photosensitizers molecules. Bacterial cellulose (BC), a highly pure cellulose produced by bacteria, possesses the essential features for applications in drug delivery systems, such as large surface area and excellent

3. Nanotechnology, Light and Chemical Action: an Effective Combination to Kill Cancer Cells
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive and effective procedure for treatment of cancer, based on the combination of a drug (photosensitizer, PS), light (visible or near-infrared, NIR) and induced local formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and radicals. Despite its less significant side effects as compared with conventional therapies, many e

4. Liposomal photosensitizers: potential platforms for anticancer photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy is a well-established and clinically approved treatment for several types of cancer. Antineoplastic photodynamic therapy is based on photosensitizers, i.e., drugs that absorb photons translating light energy into a chemical potential that damages tumor tissues. Despite the encouraging clinical results with the approved photosensitizers a

5. Estudos fotofísicos, fotoquímicos e fotobiológicos de complexos de ftalocianina de cloro-alumínio e indocianina verde em lipossomas / Photochemical and photobiological studies of aluminum chloride phthalocyanine and indocyanine green complexes in liposomes
Os benefícios gerados pela luz do sol foram observados desde a origem da humanidade. A terapia fotodinâmica é a mais nova modalidade de tratamento com luz, que envolve a administração do fármaco fotossensível, o qual se deposita preferencialmente nas células que se deseja a ação, seguido por seletiva iluminação da lesão com luz na região do vis
