Abstract
Combination of photosensitizers (PS) with nanotechnology can improve the therapeutic efficiency of clinical Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) by converting visible light reactive PSs into Near-Infrared (NIR) light responsive molecules using Harmonic Nanoparticles (HNP). To test the PDT efficiency of HNP-PS conjugates, pathogenic S. aureus cell cultures were treated with perovskite (Barium Titanate) Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) nanoparticles conjugated to photosensitizers (PS) (we compared both FDA approved Protoporphyrin IX and Curcumin) and subjected to a femtosecond pulsed Near-Infrared (NIR) laser (800 nm, 232-228 mW, 12-15 fs pulse width at repetition rate of 76.9 MHz) for 10 minutes each. NIR PDT using Barium Titanate (BT) conjugated with Protoporphyrin IX as HNP-PS conjugate reduced the viability of S. aureus cells by 77.3 ± 9.7% while BT conjugated with Curcumin did not elicit any significant effect. Conventional PSs reactive only to visible spectrum light coupled with SHG nanoparticles enables the use of higher tissue penetrating NIR light to generate an efficient photodynamic effect, thereby overcoming low light penetration and tissue specificity of conventional visible light PDT treatments.

Abstract
This work is focused on the evaluation of the photophysical properties of protoporphyrin-IX derivatives with different alkyl chains. The goal of this work is to understand the physicochemical properties and select prototypes of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. Solvents with different dielectric constants were used to obtain relevant data on different physical and chemical processes, such as fluorescence quantum yield and emission level of aggregation in nonpolar media. In addition, studies were conducted in micro-heterogeneous systems through the interaction of porphyrin derivatives with different surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecyl sulfate and octyl phenol ethoxylate. The compounds were characterized by electronic absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible region and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The comparative study between the different chemical environments evaluated in the present study represents a relevant contribution to the comprehension of the properties acquired by the porphyrins in different micro-heterogeneous systems, which allows us to understand various interactions that these compounds are subject in biological medium, such as the influence of the polarity of the medium in the reactivity of porphyrins with nonpolar substituents. These results show the decisive physicochemical influence of the alkyl chains on the properties of the tetraazomacrocycle porphyrin.

Abstract
Neste trabalho investigou-se a atividade fotodinâmica de octaetilporfirina (OEP), octaetilporfirina de vanadil (VOOEP) e meso-tetramesitilporfirina (m-TMP). Este estudo foi realizado através da determinação da constante da velocidade de fotoxidação (k f) do aminoácido triptofano (Trp). A participação do oxigênio singlete nesta fotoxidação foi determinada através da adição de azida de sódio e água deuterada no meio de reação. Os valores de k f/10-4s-1 para a fotoxidação de Trp demonstraram que OEP (2,80 ± 0.05) é mais eficiente do que m-TMP (1,62 ± 0,07) e VOOEP (0,81 ± 0,08). Os valores de k f foram menores na presença de azida de sódio e maiores na presença de água deuterada, sugerindo que o oxigênio singlete é o responsável pela atividade fotodinâmica de OEP, VOOEP e m-TMP. Estes resultados sugerem também que as diferenças na atividade fotodinâmica entre as porfirinas podem ser associadas com as diferenças na estrutura molecular das mesmas. A presença do grupo vanadil (V=O) interfere claramente na atividade fotodinâmica de OEP causando considerável redução na sua eficiência.

An overview of the classes of available photosensitizers is provided and the properties governing photosensitizer uptake and circulation in serum are discussed. Current delivery systems, for example liposomal formulations as well as the use of the promising strategy of antibody targeted delivery as a strategy to improve PDT selectivity and efficiency for CNV treatment are described. A summary of the work using Verteporfin, tin ethyl purpurin and Lu-Tex--photosensitizers currently in clinical trials for CNV--is given.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel treatment, used mainly for anticancer therapy, that depends on the retention of photosensitizers (PS) in tumour cells and irradiation of the tumour with appropriate wavelength light. Photosensitizers are molecules such as porphyrins and chlorins that, on photoactivation, effect strongly localized oxidative damage within target cells. The PS used for PDT localize in various cytoplasmic membranous structures, but are not found in the most vulnerable intracellular sites for reactive oxygen species, such as the cell nucleus. The experimental approaches discussed in the present paper indicate that it is possible to design highly efficient molecular constructs, PS carriers, with specific modules conferring cell-specific targeting, internalization, escape from intracellular vesicles and targeting to the most vulnerable intracellular compartments, such as the nucleus. Nuclear targeting of these PS-carrying constructs results in enhanced photodynamic activity, maximally about 2500-fold that of free PS. Future work is intended to optimize this approach to the point at which tumour cells can be killed rapidly and efficiently, while minimizing normal cell and tissue damage.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy involves administration of a tumor-localizing photosensitizing agent, which may require metabolic synthesis (i.e., a prodrug), followed by activation of the agent by light of a specific wavelength. This therapy results in a sequence of photochemical and photobiologic processes that cause irreversible photodamage to tumor tissues. Results from preclinical and clinical studies conducted worldwide over a 25-year period have established photodynamic therapy as a useful treatment approach for some cancers. Since 1993, regulatory approval for photodynamic therapy involving use of a partially purified, commercially available hematoporphyrin derivative compound (Photofrin) in patients with early and advanced stage cancer of the lung, digestive tract, and genitourinary tract has been obtained in Canada, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, and the United States. We have attempted to conduct and present a comprehensive review of this rapidly expanding field. Mechanisms of subcellular and tumor localization of photosensitizing agents, as well as of molecular, cellular, and tumor responses associated with photodynamic therapy, are discussed. Technical issues regarding light dosimetry are also considered.

Abstract
The efficiency and selectivity of tumour targeting by several tetra-n-propylporphycene (TPPn) and tetrakis(methoxyethyl)porphycene (TMPn) derivatives have been studied by administering 3.76 micromol/kg of aqueous or liposomal porphycene formulations to BALB/c mice bearing an i.m. implanted MS-2 fibrosarcoma. These 2 parameters have been studied as a function of the type of substituents linked to the 9-position of the macrocycle by amide, ester or ether functional groups. The pharmacokinetic properties appear to be controlled mainly by the degree of porphycene hydrophobicity, as evaluated by measuring their retention times in a C 18 column for HPLC. Thus, the post-injection time (T50) at which the porphycene concentration in the plasma decreases to 50% of the initial value ranged from a few minutes for the less hydrophobic to several hours for the more hydrophobic porphycenes. An increase in hydrophobicity also was accompanied by an enhanced efficiency and selectivity of tumour targeting. The less hydrophobic porphycenes showed a maximum tumour uptake of 0.5-2 nmol/g of tissue at 10-20 min after administration with a tumour/peri-tumoural concentration ratio around 2-3, while those with higher hydrophobicity reached tumour concentrations of 7-8 nmol/g at 24-48 hr after administration with concentration ratios higher than 20.
