Diketopyrrolopyrrole Derivatives as Photosensitizing Agents against Staphylococcus aureus

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2022
AbstractDiketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivatives containing sulfonamide (Sulfonamide‐DPP), pyridyl (Dipyridyl‐DPP) and N‐methylpyridyl (MePyridyl‐DPP) substituents were assessed as antibacterial photosensitizers. Non‐charged DPPs showed an intense absorption band centered at about 480 nm and green fluorescence emission (ΦF ~ 0.7) in acetonitrile.

Multiple PDT sessions with chlorin-e6 and LL-37 loaded-nanoemulsion provide limited benefits to periodontitis in rats

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy
Background: The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and LL-37 has never been tested in an animal study and our research team background suggests this strategy might be a promising alternative to intensify periodontitis resolution.

Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction: Metal Integration Principles, Strategies and Functions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.
