Phototoxicity

open access: yes, 2002
Phototoxicity occurs when a substance is toxic only under the action of light, and can, depending on the mechanism of toxic action, be divided into type I and type II phototoxicity.

Inhibition of ABCG2 prevents phototoxicity in a mouse model of erythropoietic protoporphyria

open access: yesNature Communications
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a genetic disease characterized by protoporphyrin IX-mediated painful phototoxicity. Currently, options for the management of EPP-associated phototoxicity are limited and no oral medication is available.

Central scotoma following phacoemulsification surgery: A case report on retinal phototoxicity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports
Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is a widely adopted, however despite its routine application and favorable outcomes, it is not devoid of risks. Complications are rare, with an even more infrequent occurrence of retinal phototoxicity.

EXPERIMENTAL TESTING OF AN IN VIVO METHOD OF PHOTOTOXICITY EVALUATION [PDF]

open access: yesРегуляторные исследования и экспертиза лекарственных средств, 2018
At present all new medicinal products and cosmetics that absorb medium-wavelength UVB, long-wavelength UVA, or visible light in the range 290–700 nm need to be tested for potential phototoxicity.

Antioxidant inhibition of porphyrin-induced cellular phototoxicity

open access: yes, 2001
Porphyrins such as protoporphyrin IX (PP IX) and uroporphyrin I (UP I) can be phototoxic to human cells. To study the protective ability of antioxidants (beta-carotene, lycopene, ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol), against such porphyrin phototoxicity ...

Genetically Encoded Red Photosensitizers with Enhanced Phototoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Genetically encoded photosensitizers are increasingly used as optogenetic tools to control cell fate or trigger intracellular processes. A monomeric red fluorescent protein called SuperNova has been recently developed, however, it demonstrates suboptimal

Characterization of phototoxicity reactions in human and animal skin models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Phototoxicity is a relatively common phenomenon and is an adverse effect of some systemic drugs. A large number of pharmaceutical drug substances are known to carry the potential to elicit a phototoxic response (Moore 2002, Ferguson 2002). Reported cases

Mitochondrial dynamics quantitatively revealed by STED nanoscopy with an enhanced squaraine variant probe

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Live cell imaging of mitochondrial cristae is challenged by the unsuitability of current fluorescent probes and high phototoxicity. Here the authors develop a squarine variant probe (MitoESq-635) that is capable of longitudinal imaging of cristae with ...

Phototoxicity: Its mechanism and animal alternative test methods

open access: yes, 2021
The skin exposure to solar irradiation and photoreactive xenobiotics may produce abnormal skin reaction, phototoxicity. Phototoxicity is an acute light-induced response, which occurs when photoreacive chemicals are activated by solar lights and ...

Shallow- and Deep-Water Ophiura Species Produce a Panel of Chlorin Compounds with Potent Photodynamic Anticancer Activities

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
A Pacific brittle star Ophiura sarsii has previously been shown to produce a chlorin (3S,4S)-14-Ethyl-9-(hydroxymethyl)-4,8,13,18-tetramethyl-20-oxo-3-phorbinepropanoic acid (ETPA) (1) with potent phototoxic activities, making it applicable to ...
