Covalently cross-linked tetrafunctionalized m-THPC chitosan hydrogels as drug delivery platforms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anti-cancer treatment method which uses the combined effect of a photosensitizing drug, light, and oxygen to cause selective damage to target tissue. The second generation photosensitizer ... -
On the Synthesis and Utilization of geminal-Dimethyl Hydroporphyrins and Tetraphenylethylenes in Photodynamic Therapy
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Chapter 1 introduces the main concepts of this thesis: photodynamic therapy (PDT), chlorins and photosensitizer arrays. In the case of PDT multiple topics are discussed, namely, the qualities of an ideal photosensitizer, ... -
Pyrrole-based Photosensitisers for Photomedicine. Synthesis, Photophysical and Photobiological Evaluation of Chlorins and Dipyrrin Complexes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a light activated therapy which involves a drug-photosensitiser (PS), light, and molecular oxygen. First, the PS is administered via a systemic or topical route and then it accumulates in the ...
