The research is devoted to development and study of photosensitizers on a base of injectable nanoparticular formulations of phthalocyanine derivatives absorbing at long wavelength (near-infrared) range of 710-740 nm: Thiosens [liposomal form of aluminum hydroxide 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(phenylsulfanyl)phthalocyanine] and Octasens [polymeric micellar form of zinc 1 ,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octachloro-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis-(decylsulfanyl)phthalocyanine based on domestic poloxamer . Experiments have shown that the photosensitizers under study show high selectivity of accumulation and prolonged retaining at high concentration in tumor, relatively fast clearance from normal tissue and high therapeutic efficiency of photodynamic treatment on model tumors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
