Method For Determination Of Singlet Oxygen Quantum Yields For New Fluorene-based Photosensitizers In Aqueous Media For The Advancement Of Photodynamic Therapy
… generates cytotoxic species such as reactive singlet oxygen, leading to irreversible destruction of the treated tissue. The measurement of the singlet oxygen quantum yield is an important determinant used to evaluate the efficiency of new photodynamic therapy agents developed in the …

The synthesis of aza-dipyrromethenes as potential pdt agents and measurement of singlet oxygen generation.
… using a photosensistiser that produces cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) after light irradiation. Current approved photosensitisers have limitations, such as a low extinction coefficient in the desired therapeutic wavelength of absorption (600 “ 900 nm), as in the case of Photofrin®. The discovery …

Investigation into the potential of methylene blue and its derivatives to be used in the photodynamic therapy of non-pigmented and pigmented cells
… Subsequent to irradiation, highly reactive singlet molecular oxygen (Type II mechanism) is likely to be the most damaging cytotoxic species in vivo. The porphyrin molecule, Photofrin®, is the only photosensitizer currently registered for clinical use but is associated with several problems. …
