The biological effects of ultrasound have been investigated vigorously for various applications including the thermal coagulation of tissues, the opening of tight junctions, and localized gene or drug introduction. The synergistic cell killing effect of ultrasound and porphyrin derivatives, the
Heat treatment of human erythrocytes led to increased passive cation permeability, followed by haemolysis. K+ leakage was linear up to a loss of about 80% in the temperature range 46-54 degrees C. Kinetic analysis of the results revealed an activation energy of 246 kJ/mol, implicating a transition
The chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model was used to study vascular effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hyperthermia (HPT) and the synergism of these modalities. The CAM is a convenient medium for monitoring the modifications of the vasculature. It is possible to view the CAM and to
Cells from the established human line NHIK 3025 were labelled with hematoporphyrin derivative in vitro. Subsequently, the cells were treated with light and hyperthermia. The cells could be irradiated either before, during or after the incubation at a hyperthermic temperature. It was shown that
This study reports the chemical synthesis of a class of dextran superparamagnetic nanoparticles that bear hydrophilic porphyrin units covalently grafted by a click chemistry reaction in aqueous solution. Magnetic nanoparticles are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hyperthermia, and the
This paper reports the synthesis, characterization, and cellular uptake of the conjugate of porphyrin and iron oxide nanoparticles, which may lead to a bimodal anticancer agent that can be used in the combinational treatment of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hyperthermia therapy (HT).
BACKGROUND
Control of the mosquito vector population is the most effective strategy currently available for the prevention of dengue fever and the containment of outbreaks. Photo-activated oxidants may represent promising tools for developing effective, safe and ecofriendly novel larvicides. The
In vitro sensitivity to porphyrin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been examined in cell lines resistant to hyperthermia. Parental (HA-1) and heat-resistant (3012) Chinese hamster fibroblasts as well as parental (RIF-1) and temperature-resistant (TR-4, TR-5, and TR-10) mouse radiation-induced
Modern medicine has been searching for new and more efficient strategies for diagnostics and therapeutics applications. Considering this, porphyrin molecules have received great interest for applications in photodiagnostics and phototherapies, even as magnetic nanoparticles for drug-delivery systems
MnTE-2-PyP(5+) is a potent catalytic scavenger of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, primarily superoxide and peroxynitrite. It therefore not only attenuates primary oxidative damage, but was found to modulate redox-based signaling pathways (HIF-1alpha, NF-kappaB, SP-1, and AP-1) and thus, in
Photodynamic therapy (PDT)-resistant variants of the RIF-1 mouse tumor cell line have been isolated following a protocol of repeated porphyrin incubation and light treatments. Two porphyrin incubation procedures, employing either an extended (16 h) or a short (1 h) incubation, were used in order to
Two distinct photodynamic therapy-resistant variants of the murine radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF) cell line have been isolated. One strain displayed relative resistance over the parental RIF-1 strain to treatment with the porphyrin-based compound, polyhaematoporphyrin (PHP), whereas the other
BACKGROUND
There is renewed interest in magnetic hyperthermia as a treatment modality for cancer, especially when it is combined with other more traditional therapeutic approaches, such as the co-delivery of anticancer drugs or photodynamic therapy.
METHODS
The influence of bimagnetic nanoparticles
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of heme, cobalt-protoporphyrin IX and tin-protoporphyrin IX (CoPPIX and SnPPIX), macrocyclic structures composed by a tetrapyrrole ring with a central metallic ion, on Dengue Virus (DENV) and Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) infection.
RESULTS
Treatment of HepG2 cells
