It has been proved that the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is closely related to
the intrinsic features of the photosensitizer (PS). Over the recent years, several efforts have …

Different approaches to the development of promising photosensitizers based on
polymethine dyes (PD) for photodynamic therapy are systematized, summarized, and …

The TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles are the most promising next-generation photodynamic
therapy (PDT) photosensitizers. This paper reports a one-to-one comparison of TiO2 and …

In this work, several benzothiazole-based aminosquaraine dyes, displaying strong
absorption within the so-called phototherapeutic window (650–800 nm), were synthesized …

The main photophysical properties of a series of recently synthetized 1, 2‐and 1, 3‐
squaraines, including absorption electronic spectra, singlet‐triplet energy gaps, and spin …

Herein, we investigated the effects of B. diffusa (BDE), a well-known cardiotonic edible
medicinal plant against apoptosis in Angiotensin II (Ang II)-stimulated hypertrophic cardiac …

The synthesis of several aminosquaraine cationic dyes displaying strong absorption within
the so-called phototherapeutic window (650–850 nm) is described. Their cytotoxicity, under …

Peritumoral edema is a key stage in the infiltration and recurrence of glioma. Photodynamic
therapy (PDT) increases the extent of peritumoral edema, which leads to a decrease in the …

Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has clinical approval for use as a minimally
invasive therapeutic procedure that is able to exert selective cytotoxic activity toward …

Squaraine dyes have recently attracted interest as potential second generation
photosensitizers for photo-dynamic therapy. Several cationic aminosquaraine dyes bearing …
