- Description
- The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has made the development of photodynamic therapy (PDT) related applications essential, since microorganisms can not form resistance to this method. Porphyrins are well-known photosensitizers for PDT related applications. Thus, the present study outlines the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of the utility of palladium porphyrins and their chitosan inclusion complexes as photosensitizer dye in photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PACT). Before in vitro cell studies, the photophysical-chemical studies of all obtained structures were performed in solution. It was observed that the immobilization of the porphyrins into the chitosan influenced the photophysical-chemical and PACT activity properties. The determined fluorescence quantum yield was very low, in the range of 0.007–0.028 for all samples indicating the efficient triplet state population to cause high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ). The measured ΦΔ values were in the range of 0.51–0.61 for the porphyrins and 0.53–0.66 for porphyrin chitosan immobilization complexes. Our results demonstrate that the PACT activity of cationic porphyrin (P3) and its chitosan immobilization form (P3-Ct) were more efficient in decreasing the number of viable cells up to 100% in vitro.
