The synthesis of cationic porphyrins for use in photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely used in recent years for the treatment of cancers. However the growing problem of drug resistance in bacteria has led to PDT being used to treat bacterial infections in a new type of therapy called Photodynamic Antimicrobial ChemoTherapy (PACT). In PACT a …

Investigation into the toxicity and DNA interactive properties of a range of cationic photosensitisers with potential application to photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy
The emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to traditional antibiotics has necessitated fresh approaches to the treatment of infections. In the present study, the therapeutic potential of a series of phenothiazinium-based photo-sensitisers (PhBP5) to act as novel antibacterial agents is …

Development and characterisation of photosensitiser-incorporated polymeric microparticles
… polymeric microparticles, optimising the photodynamic antibacterial activity exerted. Specifically, their ability to reduce the bacterial bioburden of solutions, with low visible light illumination, was studied. An oscillatory ball milling process was employed to mechanically break down a …
