Aggregation of water soluble octaanionic phthalocyanines and their photoinactivation antimicrobial effect in vitro

Metals to combat antimicrobial resistance

“… The macrocyclic compounds, which are generally highly positively charged, can contain various different metals such as iron 295 , lutetium 296 , palladium 297 , zinc 298 or aluminium 299 . Ac, acetate.…”

“…There are, however, several encouraging preclinical research directions. Some earlier examples of metal-containing bacterial targeting 295 , lutetium 296 , palladium 297 , zinc 298 or aluminium 299 . Ac, acetate.…”

Latest trends on photodynamic disinfection of Gram-negative bacteria: photosensitizer’s structure and delivery systems

“…12) and an anionic phthalocyanine (90, Fig. 12) for E. coli inactivation, using Tween 80 1% as a membrane disruptor, but also as a de-aggregation agent for the phthalocyanines, which together with the use of EDTA 0.1% lead to excellent bacterial inactivation [74] . Similarly, Biyiklioglu et al, compared the efficiency of a silicon phthalocyanine (91, Fig.…”

The role of solvents and concentrations in the properties of oxime bearing A2B corroles

“…Corroles are a family of tetrapyrrole derivatives that have gained interest in the past few years, which range from the study of singlet oxygen sensitization by corroles for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications 1–3 and antimicrobial photoinactivation 4 to the study of non-linear optical properties 5 or their use as chemosensors immobilized in MOFs. 6 Despite numerous applications depending on the optimization of their photophysical and acid–base properties, there are relatively few photophysical studies particularly focusing on metal-free corroles.…”
