AI Article Synopsis
- Fullerenes were successfully dissolved in water by combining them with β-1,3-glucan using a specialized high-speed milling technique.
- The effectiveness of the resulting complex on photodynamic activity relies heavily on the levels of dectin-1 present on macrophage cell surfaces.
- A synergistic effect was observed, enhancing photodynamic activity when β-1,3-glucan-complexed compounds were used together with 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate.
Article Abstract
[70]Fullerene was dissolved in water by complexation with β-1,3-glucan using a mechanochemical high-speed vibration milling apparatus. The photodynamic activity of β-1,3-glucan-complexed C was highly dependent on the expression level of dectin-1 on the cell surfaces of macrophages. The photodynamic activity increased as a result of a synergistic effect between β-1,3-glucan-complexed 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate and the C complex.

Skin dysbiosis caused by Cutibacterium acnes contributes greatly to the complex pathogenesis of acne, and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for acne treatment. Hypocrellin, a photosensitizer extracted from a traditional Chinese medicinal fungus, has showed effective antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial ability of hypocrellin mediated PDT against Cutibacterium acnes.

Novel pH-sensitive polymeric photosensitizer carriers from the phthalocyanine (Pc) group were investigated as potential photodynamic therapy drugs for the treatment of breast cancer. Their high antiproliferative activity was confirmed by photocytotoxicity studies, which indicated their high efficacy and specificity toward the SK-BR-3 cell line. Importantly, the Pcs encapsulated in the polymeric nanoparticle (NP) carrier exhibited a much better penetration into the acidic environment of tumor cells than their free form.

Metastasis, the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients, presents challenges for conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to its reliance on localized light and oxygen application to tumors. To overcome these limitations, a self-sustained organelle-mimicking nanoreactor is developed here with programmable DNA switches that enables bio-chem-photocatalytic cascade-driven starvation-photodynamic synergistic therapy against tumor metastasis. Emulating the compartmentalization and positional assembly strategies found in living cells, this nano-organelle reactor allows quantitative co-compartmentalization of multiple functional modules for the designed self-illuminating chemiexcited PDT system.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a global challenge in treating bacterial infections, creating an urgent need for broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents that can effectively combat multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Despite advancements in novel antimicrobial agents, many fail to comprehensively cover common resistant bacterial strains or undergo rigorous multi-center validation. Herein, a cationic AIE-active photosensitizers are developed, ITPM, derived from a triphenylamine-pyridine backbone to address the MDR challenge.
