This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the …

Transition metal complexes are of increasing interest as photosensitizers in photodynamic
therapy (PDT) and, more recently, for photochemotherapy (PCT). In recent years, Ru (II) …

Hypoxic tumours are a major problem for cancer photodynamic therapy. Here, we show that
photoredox catalysis can provide an oxygen-independent mechanism of action to combat …

The success of platinum-based anticancer agents has motivated the exploration of novel
metal-based drugs for several decades, whereas problems such as drug-resistance and …

Conspectus Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an emerging technique to treat certain types of
cancer, bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, and skin diseases. In past years, different …

Ruthenium (II)[Ru (II)] polypyridyl complexes have been the focus of intense investigations
since work began exploring their supramolecular interactions with DNA. In recent years …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exploits light-activated compounds for therapeutic use. It relies
on a photosensitiser (PS) that is inactive in the absence of light. When irradiated, the PS …

Organelle‐targeted photosensitizers have been reported to be effective photodynamic
therapy (PDT) agents. In this work, we designed and synthesized two iridium (III) complexes …

The synergistic action of light, oxygen and a photosensitizer (PS) has found applications for
decades in medicine under the name of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive medical technique that has received
increasing attention over the last years and been applied for the treatment of certain types of …
