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.
