Potentially superior photosensitizers for two-photon PDT

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
David L. Shenkenberg

A new study indicates that porphycene-based photosensitizers have better optical properties than porphyrin-based photosensitizers for two-photon photodynamic therapy (PDT). Porphycenes were identified as candidate photosensitizers because their chemical structures strongly resemble those of well-studied porphyrins. In the study, researchers from the University of Århus, Denmark, Universitat Ramon Llull in Barcelona, Spain, and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, evaluated the two-photon PDT efficacy of 2,7,12,17-tetraphenylporphycene, with and without palladium, and used...Read full article
