A Review of Light Sources and Enhanced Targeting for Photodynamic Therapy

Abstract: : Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), as a clinically approved modality for the treatment of various disordered diseases including cancer, has received great advances in recent years. By preferentially accumulating non-toxic Photosensitizers (PSs) in the pathological area, and in situ generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under local irradiation by a light source with appropriate wavelength, PDT works in a dual-selective manner. Over the past decades, numerous studies and reviews on PDT mainly focused … Show more

“…Photosensitizers have poor selectivity towards pathogens and also lead to the occurrence of resistant bacteria. In addition, the short excitation light wave of photosensitizers has poor penetrating power [ 116 , 119 , 120 ]. By contrast, endolysins do not produce resistant bacteria due to the importance and conservation of their targets, peptidoglycan layer, for the viability of bacteria and they also obtain access to pathogens in inner tissues and organs in vivo [ 112 ].…”

“…Quanto maior o comprimento de onda, maior será a profundidade alcançada por ele. Os exemplos de tipos de luzes utilizados na terapia fotodinâmica são os seguintes (110): Raio-x: Apresenta característica de curto comprimento de onda (0,01 a 10nm), porém com alta energia (110).…”

“…Raio ultravioleta (UV): Apresenta comprimento de onda (10 a 400nm), e origem solar, sendo indispensável à vida (101). Sua absorção é fundamental para a síntese da vitamina D, porém, sua exposição prolongada e sem proteção, pode causar câncer de pele (110).…”
