Due to its use of green and renewable energy and negligible bacterial resistance,
photocatalytic bacterial inactivation is to be considered a promising sterilization process …

Platinum-based anticancer drugs represented by cisplatin play important roles in the
treatment of various solid tumors. However, their applications are largely compromised by …

We report the synthesis and characterization of two novel tetra-cationic porphyrins,
containing Pt (II) or Pd (II) polypyridyl complexes attached at the peripheral position of N4 …

Melanoma is recognized as the most dangerous type of skin cancer, with high mortality and
resistance to currently used treatments. To overcome the limitations of the available …

Porphyrin derivatives accumulate selectively in cancer cells and are can be used as carriers
of drugs. Until now, the substituents that bind to porphyrins (mainly at the meso-position) …

Carbon-based nanoparticles known as Carbon Dots (CDs) have attracted a lot of interest in
the field of cancer therapy because of their special physicochemical characteristics and …

In this work, we report the antimicrobial photoinactivation using tetra-cationic porphyrins with
peripheral palladium (II) complexes against bacterial strains. Two different isomeric Pd (II) …

Cell cycle arrest (CCA) is seen as a prime candidate for effective cancer therapy. This
mechanism can help researchers to create new treatments to target cancer cells at particular …

Violacein is an important natural antimicrobial pigment that is mainly produced by
Chromobacterium violaceum and Janthinobacterium lividum. It presents a significant range …

In this manuscript, we report, for the first time, the photoinactivation evaluation of tetra-
cationic porphyrins with peripheral Pt (II)-bpy complexes in the photodynamic inactivation …
