Abstract
A water-soluble monocationic chlorin photosensitizer for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy of superficial localized infections has been proposed. The antimicrobial activity of this compound against planktonic forms of nosocomial antibiotic-resistant gram-negative pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, and Acinetobacter baumannii, has been studied in comparison with the activity of the photosensitizer Fotoran e6, widely used in the clinical photodynamic therapy of tumors. It has been shown that both photosensitizers possess low dark toxicity; however, the light toxicity of the monocationic chlorin is higher by several orders of magnitude, and it can be proposed as a new agent for the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Chemistry is a journal that publishes new research in chemistry and chemical engineering of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia in the form of short articles. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
