In this Minireview, we highlight recent advances in the design of transition metal complexes
for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), and discuss the …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) are therapeutic
techniques based on a photosensitizer (PS) and light. These techniques allow the spatial …

Cell death by visible light: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a relatively underemployed
method for treatment of diseases including cancer. Recent improvements in synthetic and …

Background: Cancer chemotherapy is limited by severe side effects due to unspecific
cytotoxic activity of currently used therapeutics. In order to minimize these unwanted effects …

The fields of phototherapy and of inorganic chemotherapy both have long histories.
Inorganic photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) offers both temporal and spatial control over …

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 …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) requires a photosensitizing agent, which can undergo visible
light activation, yielding reactive oxygen species and/or radical species. The key physical …

The photoactivation of potential anticancer metal complexes is a hot topic of current
research as it may lead to the development of more selective drugs. Photoactivated …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved medical technique to treat certain forms of
cancer. It has been used to complement traditional anticancer modalities such as surgery …

Photodynamic therapy is a light-activated medical technique, which has received increasing
attention within the last decade to treat various diseases including bacterial, viral or fungal …
