Synthesis, Characterization, and Self-Assembly of Porphyrins Conjugated to Superparamagnetic Colloidal Particles for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy
Porphyrins and their derivatives are often used as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is a noninvasive antitumor treatment. The photochemical process for PDT involves exciting a photosensitizing agent with visible light, which induces cytotoxicity in the presence of oxygen as a re...
