Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mostly relies on the generation of singlet oxygen, via the
excitation of a photosensitizer, so that target tumor cells can be destroyed. PDT can be …

As deaths from preventable diseases abate, cancer is becoming one of the leading causes
of death in the world. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive treatment for cancer …

A complete set of platinum (II) solketal substituted phthalocyanines has been synthesized
and characterized. To evaluate their potential as Type II photosensitizers for photodynamic …

Three Zn (II) phthalocyanines substituted by hydroxyl-terminated tetraethylene glycol chains
have been synthesized. In order to evaluate the potential of these highly water-soluble …

Glycoconjugates and their applications as lectin ligands in biology have been thoroughly
investigated in the past decades. Meanwhile, the intrinsic properties of such multivalent …

Photosensitized damage to liposome membranes was studied by using different dye-
leakage assays based on fluorescence dequenching of a series of dyes upon their release …

The facile synthesis and photophysical properties of three nonhydrolyzable thioglycosylated
porphyrinoids are reported. Starting from meso-perfluorophenylporphyrin, the …

Aberrant activation of RAS signalling pathways contributes to aggressive phenotypes of
cancer cells. The RAS-targeted therapies for cancer, therefore, have been recognised to be …
