Acosta RB, Durantini EN, Spesia MB. Evaluation of quantification methods to determine photodynamic action on mono- and dual-species bacterial biofilms. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2024; 23:1195-1208.

Abstract
The effect of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) sensitized by 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-N,N,N-trimethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin (TMAP4+) on different components of mono- and dual-species biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was determined by different methods. First, the plate count technique showed that TMAP4+-PDI was more effective on S. aureus than E. coli biofilm. However, crystal violet staining revealed no significant differences between before and after PDI biofilms of both bacteria. On the other hand, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method indicated a reduction in viable cells as the light exposure time increases in both, mono- and dual-species biofilms. Furthermore, it was determined that as the irradiation time increases, the amount of extracellular polymeric substances present in the biofilms decreased. This effect was presented in both strains and in the mixed biofilm, being more evident in S. aureus mono-specie biofilm. Finally, scanning electron microscopy analysis showed a decrease in the number of cells forming the biofilm after photosensitization treatments. This information makes it possible to determine whether the photodynamic action is based on damage to metabolic activity, extracellular matrix and/or biomass, which may be useful in establishing a fully effective PDI protocol for the treatment of microorganisms growing as biofilms.

Photodynamic inactivation of different Candida species and inhibition of biofilm formation induced by water-soluble porphyrins. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2023; 42:103343.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Candida spp. is the main fungal genus related to infections in humans, and its treatment has become a challenge due to the production of biofilm and its resistance/multi-resistance profile to conventional antifungals. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy stands out as a treatment characterized by a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action, being able to induce oxidative stress in pathogens, and porphyrins are photosensitizers with high selectivity to pathogens. Thus, this work aimed to analyze the photoinactivation of different species of Candida by two cationic (4-H2TMeP+ and 3-H2TMeP+) and one anionic (4-H2TPSP‒) porphyrins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microdilution assays were performed to determine the MIC100, with subsequent determination of MFC100. Determination of oxidative species was done through the use of scavengers, while biofilm morphological features were investigated using the atomic force microscopy. RESULTS Cationic porphyrins were significantly efficient in inactivating Candida albicans and non-albicans species with 100% growth inhibition and fungicidal activity (MFC100/MIC100 ≤ 4.0). The cationic porphyrins were also able to interfere in Candida spp biofilm formation. The photo-oxidative mechanism activated by 3-H2TMeP+ in Candida spp. is concurrent with the production of singlet oxygen and oxygen radical species. In the AFM analysis, 3-H2TMeP+ was able to reduce yeast adhesion to the surface. CONCLUSIONS Cationic porphyrins can photo-inactivate different species of Candida in both planktonic and biofilm-associated forms, and reduce the adhesion of these fungi to the surface.

Photoinactivation of Planktonic Cells, Pseudohyphae, and Biofilms of Candida albicans Sensitized by a Free-Base Chlorin and Its Metal Complexes with Zn(II) and Pd(II). Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:105.

Abstract
Invasive candidiasis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, and its occurrence is increasing due to the growing complexity of patients. In particular, Candida albicans exhibits several virulence factors that facilitate yeast colonization in humans. In this sense, the photodynamic inactivation of yeasts is a promising new alternative to eliminate fungal infections. Herein, the photodynamic activity sensitized by a free-base chlorin (TPCF16) and its complexes with Zn(II) (ZnTPCF16) and Pd(II) (PdTPCF16) was investigated in order to eliminate C. albicans under different forms of cell cultures. A decrease in cell survival of more than 5 log was found in planktonic cells incubated with 5 μM TPCF16 or ZnTPCF16 upon 15 min of white-light irradiation. The mechanism of action mainly involved a type II pathway in the inactivation of C. albicans cells. In addition, the photodynamic action induced by these chlorins was able to suppress the growth of C. albicans in a culture medium. These photosensitizers were also effective to photoinactivate C. albicans pseudohyphae suspended in PBS. Furthermore, the biofilms of C. albicans that incorporated the chlorins during the proliferation stage were completely eradicated using 5 μM TPCF16 or ZnTPCF16 after 60 min of light irradiation. The studies indicated that these chlorins are effective photosensitizing agents to eliminate C. albicans as planktonic cells, pseudohyphae, and biofilms.

Abstract
In this article, four novel fulleropyrrolidines derivatives were synthesized to study how the effect of polarity and positive charge distribution can influence the efficacy of photodynamic inactivation treatments to kill bacteria. The design of the photosensitizers was based on DFT calculations that allowed us to estimate the dipolar moment of the molecules. Neutral compounds bearing N-methyl bis-acetoxy-ethyl (1) and bis-hydroxyethyl (2) amine were the starting material to obtain the dicationic analogs N,N-dimethyl bis-methoxyethyl (3), and bis-acetoxy-ethyl) (4) methylammonio. As expected from fullerene C60 derivatives, compounds 1-4 absorb in the UV region, with a peak at 430 nm, a broader range of absorption up to 710 nm, and exhibit weak fluorescence emission in toluene and reverse micelles. In the biomimetic AOT micellar system, the highest singlet oxygen photosensitization was found for compounds 1, followed by 3, 2, and 4. Whereas 4 was the most effective reducing nitro blue tetrazolium in the presence of β-NADH. The influence of type I and type II mechanism on the photodynamic activity of compounds 3 and 4 was further examined in the presence of L-tryptophan and two reactive oxygen species scavengers. In vitro experiments indicated that the compounds with the highest dipolar moments, 3 (37.19 D) and 4 (38.46 D), inactivated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria using an energy dose <2.4 J cm-2 . No inactivation was observed for the neutral analogs with the lowest dipolar moments. These findings help to optimize sensitizer structures to improve photodynamic inactivation.

Abstract
Photocytotoxic effect induced by 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (TAPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(3-N,N,N-trimethylaminepropoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (TAPP+4) was examined in Candida albicans to obtain information on the mechanism of photodynamic action and cell damage. For this purpose, the photokilling of the yeast was investigated under anoxic conditions and cell suspensions in D2O. Moreover, photoinactivation of C. albicans was evaluated in presence of reactive oxygen species scavengers, such as sodium azide and d-mannitol. The results indicated that singlet molecular oxygen was the main reactive species involved in cell damage. On the other hand, the binding and distribution of these porphyrins in the cells was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Morphological damage was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), indicating modifications in the cell envelopment. Furthermore, deformed cells were observed after photoinactivation of C. albicans by toluidine blue staining. In addition, modifications in the cell envelope due to the photodynamic activity was found by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Similar photodamage was observed with both porphyrin, which mainly produced alterations in the cell barriers that lead to the photoinactivation of C. albicans.

JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2020; 13:e201960061.

Abstract
A novel bacteriochlorin bearing two spermine units (BCS) was synthesized from 3,13-dibromo-8,8,18,18-tetramethylbacteriochlorin (BC-Br 3,13 ). The synthesis involved the Suzuki coupling of BC-Br 3,13 to obtain a bacteriochlorin-dibenzaldehyde (BCA), which was subjected to reductive amination with spermine. The resulting bacteriochlorin BCS presents a strong near-infrared absorption band at 747 nm, emits at 750 nm with fluorescence quantum yield of 0.14, and generates singlet molecular oxygen, O2 (1 Δg ), with a quantum yield of 0.27. Photokilling capacities mediated by BCS were evaluated in microbial cells. The viability of Staphylococcus aureus decreased 7 logs when cells were incubated with 1 μM BCS and irradiated for 15 minutes. Comparable photocytotoxic effect was obtained with Escherichia coli, when cells were treated for 30 minutes with visible light. BCS was also an effective photosensitizer to inactivate Candida albicans. In addition, this bacteriochlorin was able to eradicate bacteria at short incubation times. The structure of BCS contains eight basic amino groups that, when protonated in water, increase the binding to the cell envelope. In summary, the readily accessible bacteriochlorin BCS was highly effective at low concentrations as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial photosensitizer.

Abstract
New porphyrin derivatives bearing basic aliphatic amino groups were synthesized from the condensation of meso-4-[(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]dipyrromethane, pentafluorobenzaldehyde and 4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)benzaldehyde. The reaction was catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile. This approach was used to obtain porphyrins with different patterns of substitution, of which three of them were isolated: 5,15-di(4-pentafluorophenyl)-10,20-di[4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (F10APP), 5-(4-pentafluorophenyl)-10,15,20-tris[4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (F5APP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (TAPP). The UV-vis spectroscopic characterizations and the photodynamic effect of these compounds were compared in N,N-dimethylformamide. These porphyrins showed red fluorescence emission with quantum yields of 0.09-0.15. Moreover, they sensitized the production of singlet molecular oxygen, reaching quantum yields values of 0.33-0.53. Photodynamic inactivation was studied in two bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and a yeast Candida albicans. High amount of cell-bound porphyrin was obtained at short times (<2 min) of incubation. After 15 min irradiation, a 7 log reduction of S. aureus was found for cells treated with 1 μM F5APP. Similar photokilling was obtained in E. coli, but using 7.5 μM F5APP and 30 min irradiation. Under these conditions, a decrease of 5 log was observed in C. albicans cells. An increase in cell survival was observed by addition of sodium azide, whereas a slight protective effect was found in the presence of D-mannitol. Moreover, the photoinactivation mediated by these porphyrins was higher in D2O than in water. Thus, these porphyrins induced the photodynamic activity mainly through the intermediacy of O2(1Δg). In particular, F5APP was a highly effective photosensitizer with application as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial. This porphyrin contains three basic aliphatic amino groups that may be protonated at physiological pH. In addition, it is substituted by a lipophilic pentafluorophenyl group, which confers an amphiphilic character to the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle. This effect can increase the interaction with the cell envelopment, improving the photocytotoxic activity against the microorganisms.

Abstract
In this study, time-resolved emission fluorescence (TRES) combined with chemometrics was developed and employed for adulteration analysis of camellia oil. TRES was first decomposed by parallel factors analysis (PARAFAC). Next, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was built for the adulteration analysis. A linear range of 5–50%, a limit of detection (LOD) of 3% and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) values lower than 3% were achieved. Compared with the steady-state measurement, easy access to the information from fluorophores of low concentration was shown to be an intrinsic advantage of the time-resolved measurement; this advantageous characteristic was helpful for optimizing adulteration analysis. It was demonstrated that TRES combined with chemometrics was a simple, rapid and non-intrusive method for adulteration analysis of vegetable oil.

Abstract
The photodynamic inactivation mediated by 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-[4-(N,N,N-trimethylamino)phenyl]-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene 3 and 8-[4-(3-(N,N,N-trimethylamino)propoxy)phenyl]-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene 4 was investigated on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. In vitro experiments indicated that BODIPYs 3 and 4 were rapidly bound to microbial cells at short incubation periods. Also, fluorescence microscopy images showed green emission of BODIPYs bound to microbial cells. Photosensitized inactivation improved with an increase of the irradiation time. Similar photoinactivation activities were found for both BODIPYs in bacteria. The photoinactivation induced by these BODIPYs was effective for both bacteria. However, the Gram-positive bacterium was inactivated sooner and with a lower concentration of a photosensitizer than the Gram-negative bacterium. After 15 min irradiation, the complete eradication of S. aureus was obtained with 1 μM photosensitizer. A reduction of 4.5 log in the E. coli viability was found when using 5 μM photosensitizer and 30 min irradiation. Also, the last conditions produced a decrease of 4.5 log in C. albicans cells treated with BODIPY 3, while 4 was poorly effective. On the other hand, the effect of the addition of KI on photoinactivation at different irradiation periods and salt concentrations was investigated. A smaller effect was observed in S. aureus because the photosensitizers alone were already very effective. In E. coli, photokilling potentiation was mainly found at longer irradiation periods. Moreover, the photoinactivation of C. albicans mediated by these BODIPYs was increased in the presence of KI. In solution, an increase in the formation of the BODIPY triplet states was observed with the addition of the salt, due to the effect of external heavy atoms. The greater intersystem crossing together with the formation of reactive iodine species induced by BODIPYs may be contributing to enhance the inactivation of microorganisms. Therefore, these BODIPYs represent interesting photosensitizers to inactivate microorganisms. In particular, BODIPY 3 in combination with KI was highly effective as a broad spectrum antimicrobial photosensitizer.

A novel 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]chlorin (TAPC) was synthesized by reduction of the corresponding porphyrin TAPP with p-toluenesulfonhydrazide, followed by selective oxidation with o-chloranil. Spectroscopic properties and the photodynamic activity of these photosensitizers were compared in N,N-dimethylformamide. An increase in the absorption band at 650nm was found for the chlorin derivative with respect to TAPP. These photosensitizers emit red fluorescence with quantum yields of 0.15. Both compounds were able to photosensitize singlet molecular oxygen with quantum yields of about 0.5. Also, the formation of superoxide anion radical was detected in the presence of TAPC or TAPP and NADH. Photodynamic inactivation was investigated on a Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli and a fungal yeast Candida albicans cells. In vitro experiments showed that TAPC or TAPP were rapidly bound to microbial cells at short incubation periods. These photosensitizers, without intrinsic positive charges, contain four basic amino groups. These substituents can be protonated at physiological pH, increasing the interaction with the cell envelopment. Photosensitized inactivation improved with an increase of both photosensitizer concentrations and irradiation times. After 15min irradiation, a 7 log reduction of S. aureus was found for treated with 1μM photosensitizer. Similar result was obtained with E. coli after using 5μM photosensitizer and 30min irradiation. Also, the last conditions produced a decrease of 5 log in C. albicans cells. Therefore, TAPC was highly effective as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial photosensitizer.
