Simvastatin is a potent statin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics, often used to treat hyperlipidemia and related cardiovascular disorders. Nonetheless, its therapeutic advantages are limited by poor water solubility and substantial degradation by CYP3A4 enzymes. This research aimed to improve simvastatin's physicochemical characteristics and therapeutic effectiveness by developing 3D-dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles as nanocarriers.

Modern photodynamic therapy (PDT) demands next-generation photosensitizers (PSs) that overcome heavy-atom dependency and enhance efficacy beyond traditional, highly oxygen-dependent type II mechanisms. We introduce herein , as a thiochromenocarbazole imide derivative designed for type I photodynamic action. Upon light activation, efficiently favors superoxide (O) and PS-centered radical formation instead of singlet oxygen (O) generation.
