The study describes a simple and novel method for the synthesis of silver sulfide nanoparticles (Ag2S NPs). The synthesized NPs were characterized by SEM (scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction), particle size analyzer, zeta sizer and EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray). The Ag2S NPs were spherical in shape with an effective diameter size ...

This work reports the photophysical and biological evaluation of five cationic porphyrins as photosensitizers (PS) for the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of Penicillium chrysogenum conidia. Two different cationic porphyrin groups were synthesized from 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin. The ...

Presented experiment considers combination of genistein and photodynamic therapy with hypericin with a view to achieve higher therapeutic outcome in human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, both identified in our conditions as photodynamic therapy resistant. Since genistein is known to suppress Bcl-2 expression, we predicted tha...

Recent research has shown that, like porphyrins, phycocyanin (PC) too can produce singlet oxygen upon excitation with the appropriate radiation and hence could be useful in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer. Unlike porphyrins, PC has the advantage of being a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, soluble protein. However, the challenge would be to target...

The synthesis of one pyrethroid insecticide [2-methyl-4-oxo-3-prop-2-yn-1-ylcyclopent-2-en-1-yl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (Abbrev. JZ) (Fig. 1)] conjugated with a series of alpha-terthienyl derivatives (2-8) (Fig. 1) by palladium/copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is presented here for evaluating the photoactiv...

We studied the complexation of meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP) with HeLa nucleosomes and compared it to our earlier results on T7 phage nucleoprotein complex (NP) and isolated DNA. To identify binding modes and relative concentrations of the bound TMPyP forms, the porphyrin absorption spectra were analyzed at various base pair/por...

Morphological and physiological responses of seedlings to different solar UV-B irradiances were evaluated in two varieties of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), a crop species from Andean region of South America. Cristalina and Chucapaca varieties were grown at 1965m a.s.l in a glasshouse under natural light conditions for 18 days, and then transf...

Steady state and time resolved fluorometric and circular dichroism (CD) techniques have been exploited to explore the binding interaction of a ketocyanine dye, namely, 2-[3-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)-2-propenylidene] indanone (MPAPI) with transport proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA). The emission spectrum of buffered s...

Light quality is thought to affect many plant physiological processes during growth and development, particularly photosynthesis. We examined how light quality influences plant photosynthesis by analyzing changes in photosynthetic parameters and expression levels of some photosynthesis related genes of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Jinyou No. 1)...

Photosafety assessments are recommended for all new drug candidates intended for clinical use. In 2002, Testing guidances were issued by the regulatory authorities in the USA (2003) and Europe (2002). A key requirement is to measure the absorption of UV-visible light by a compound in the 290-700 nm range and to assess photostability. Further photos...
