Abstract:Innovative therapeutic strategies are more than ever needed to counter the rise of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial pathogens worldwide. The use of light, and especially photodynamic therapy (PDT) appears as a promising alternative or complement to antibiotic treatments, fostered by the development of new photosensitizers. In this study, eight luminescent Ir(III) complexes were synthesized and evaluated for their photoactivation properties and capacity to generate radical species under blue (452 nm), green (525 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
