Abstract 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-porphyrin tetra-iodide (TMPyP), a
potent water-soluble photosensitizer (PS) used in antimicrobial applications, was …

We report the development of d, l lactic co‐glycolic acid)(PLGA)‐based nanoparticles (NPs)
for topical delivery of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a photosensitizer (PS), in treatments like …

The number of drug-resistant bacteria is increasing significantly. To combat such issues,
antimicrobial PDT (aPDT) provides an efficient way to eliminate these species efficiently …

Poly (D, L lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) based nanoparticles (NPs) are proposed for topical
delivery of Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in Photodynamic Therapy of skin cancers. PpIX loaded …

In this study, we developed and investigated nanoparticles of biologically-derived,
biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as carriers of a hydrophobic photosensitizer …

Simple Summary Efficient photosensitizers for photodyanmic therapy (PDT) need to be
soluble in physiologic media. This requirement often complicates significantly the chemical …

Photosensitizing properties of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (p-THPP)
functionalized by covalent attachment of one chain of poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) with a …

Encapsulation of hydrophobic photosensitizers (PS) into polymeric nanoparticles (NP) has
proven to be an effective alternative to organic solvents for their formulation. As NP size …

Benefiting from their inherent localized and controlled release properties, hydrogels are
ideal delivery systems for therapeutic drugs or nanoparticles. In particular, applications of …

A photosensitizer, meso-tetra (hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (p-THPP) was incorporated into
sterile submicronic nanoparticles of poly (d, l-lactide-co-glycolide)(50: 50 and 75: 25 PLGA) …
