Bioactive Natural Small Molecules tuned Co-assembly of Photosensitive Drugs for Highly Efficient Synergistic and Enhanced Type I Photochemotherapy.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2020
Self-assembling natural small molecules (NSMs) with favorable anticancer activity are of increasing interest as novel drug delivery platforms without structural modification for biomedical applications. Yet, a lack of knowledge and practicability of NSMs

Phototherapy and photochemotherapy

Clinics in Dermatology, 2008
Phototherapy, whose first application for psoriasis dates back to almost a century now, is still an actual mainstay of treatment. We discuss in detail the radiophysical aspects involved in the therapy, the different treatment modalities, and all aspects related to clinical application of phototherapy. By looking at new insights on the molecular mode of

Extracorporeal photochemotherapy

Journal of Dermatological Science, 2009
Although extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is reported to be effective for a wide variety of diseases, such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma, autoimmune diseases, organ graft rejection, and graft versus host disease, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The basis of extracorporeal photopheresis is the reinfusion of leukocytes previously exposed to

Phototherapy and photochemotherapy

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2010
SummaryThe treatment of skin diseases with ultraviolet radiation represents an important therapeutic modality in clinical dermatology, and the number of skin diseases that improve under the phototherapeutic modalities of today is still growing. While clinical phototherapy was originally based on empirical observations, our present understanding of the ...

Photopheresis (extracorporeal photochemotherapy)

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2012
Photopheresis is a form of phototherapy where specialized equipment is used to isolate a leukocyte fraction from the peripheral blood which is then exposed to photoactivated 8-methoxypsoralen and reinfused into the patient. At the time of its invention the treatment was conceptually based on the hypothesis of T cell vaccination, i.e. the observation in

Self-Quenched Metal-Organic Particles as Dual-Mode Therapeutic Agents for Photoacoustic Imaging-Guided Second Near-Infrared Window Photochemotherapy.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2018
The nanosized metal-organic particles (NMOPs) recently have attracted tremendous attentions in biomedical applications. However, few studies have developed metal-organic nanoparticles (NMOPs) as near-infrared (NIR) II phototherapeutic agents and as ...

Photochemotherapy using pyridopsoralens

Biochimie, 1985
Aiming to decrease the acute side effects and genotoxic hazards of PUVA, pyrido (3,4-C) psoralen (PP) and 7-methyl pyrido (3,4-C) psoralen (MPP) were synthesized and studied. Their UVA maximum absorption lies at 325 and 330 nm, respectively. Their photostability is comparable to that of 8-MOP.

Dermal dendrocytes and photochemotherapy

Virchows Archiv A Pathological Anatomy and Histopathology, 1991
We studied the fate of dermal dendrocytes in patients treated with psoralens and ultraviolet light by combining immunohistochemistry and computerized image analysis. Factor-XIIIa-positive dermal dendrocytes were found to be altered in these patients. When compared with controls, dermal dendrocytes were often increased in number and had an uneven size ...

The active compounds derived from Psoralea corylifolia for photochemotherapy against psoriasis‐like lesions: The relationship between structure and percutaneous absorption

European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018
8‐Methoxypsoralen (8‐MOP) in combination with ultraviolet A (PUVA) is a photochemotherapy for management of psoriasis. 8‐MOP is a natural compound from Psoralea corylifolia.
