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 …

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

Photo–triggered therapeutic modalities for cancer have attracted enormous attention in
recent years due to the easily focused and tuned properties of irradiation light that enable …

Owing to their high extinction coefficients, long absorption wavelengths, and modification
tunable photophysical and photochemical properties, phthalocyanines (Pcs) have been …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a highly specific and clinically approved method for cancer
treatment in which a nontoxic drug known as photosensitizer (PS) is administered to a …

Bladder cancer is the first cancer for which PDT was clinically approved in 1993.
Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful due to side effects like bladder contraction. Here, we …

New methods for water treatment are required as a result from an increasing awareness in
the reduction of the pollution impact in the environment. In the perspective of the photo …

Photodynamic therapy is a treatment modality of cancer based on the production of cytotoxic
species upon the light activation of photosensitizers. Zinc phthalocyanine photosensitizers …

High photodynamic activity was observed for hexadeca-cationic zinc, magnesium, and metal-
