“…ROS interact with substrates to cause biological damage. [8][9][10] The photosensitizer triplet may react directly with a biological substrate under hypoxic conditions. In type II interactions, the excited triplet will transfer energy to 3 O 2 to produce excited-state singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), the major cytotoxic species causing biological damage.…”

“…Photons excite the PS to the highly unstable singlet state, which then shifts to the long-lived triplet state before transferring electrons to organic molecules or energy to molecular oxygen, respectively producing free radicals (type I mechanism) or singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 -type II mechanism) [2][3][4]. These highly reactive species are antibacterial because they irreversibly damage proteins, membrane lipids and DNA [1].…”

“…In biological systems, 1 O 2 is generated by absorption of incident light of specific wavelengths by excitable endogenous or exogenous molecules known as photosensitizers. This type of photosensitization is known as type II (46,47). A large number of sensitizers occur naturally in organisms (riboflavin, 4-thiouridine and 2-thiouracil, bilirubin, etc.…”
