New halogenated and sulfonated bacteriochlorins and their analogous porphyrins are
employed as photosensitizers of singlet oxygen and the superoxide ion. The mechanisms of …

Gram-negative bacteria and bacteria in biofilms are very difficult to eradicate and are the
most antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therapeutic alternatives less susceptible to mechanisms of …

Progress in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer should benefit from a rationale to
predict the most efficient of a series of photosensitizers that strongly absorb light in the …

Tetraphenyloporphyrin derivatives are a useful scaffold for developing new pharmaceuticals
