Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a light-activated modality that kills cells through photosensitizer-triggered reactive oxygen species, but its efficacy is strongly shaped by oxygen availability and by whether photochemistry proceeds through Type I or Type II pathways. In oxygen-rich settings, Type II PDT mainly generat...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically established approach that relies on the localized generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated by a photosensitizer (PS), light, and molecular oxygen. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is an approved PS; however, its intracellular retention is limited, factor that can alter its...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising alternative for combating multidrug‐resistant bacteria and overcoming limitations of conventional antimicrobial treatments. To improve aPDT performance, two Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) derivatives functionalized with one or two capsaicin fragments were synthesized a...
