This review presents examples of applications in PDT of various types of MOFs. To contextualize the discussions of their PDT applications, general procedures of MOF synthesis are considered. Applications of MOFs in PDT are described using examples of several combination therapy innovations developed for the purpose of solving some of the key challenges in the clinical translation value chain of PDT. The review presents evidence to show that the explosion of research in MOFs is due to their capability for applications as carriers and delivery systems for PDT photosensitizers. It also shows their unique applications as platforms for combination therapies, for stimulus responsive release of photosensitizer and drug molecules, for cancer cell targeting, and for auxiliary enhancement of efficacy. Published literature on MOFs has been on the rise since the eighties. In Scopus, the applications of MOFs in PDT increased from 1 article in 2010, to 169 articles in 2023, whereas published literature on MOFs generally, increased from 878 to 11644 during this period. Research on the applications of MOFs in PDT has therefore increased more than that of MOFs generally. Literature on the applications of MOFs in PDT increased by between 0.7% to 1.45% relative to published literature on MOFs generally. Clearly, MOFs are researched to overcome challenges of and improve PDT efficacy, more than they are generally.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100245"},"PeriodicalIF":3.261,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666469024000204/pdfft?md5=5481a5bf2bc14b52daee1f28af08d552&pid=1-s2.0-S2666469024000204-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141691981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ongoing research is actively exploring diverse methods of harnessing solar power, with Photogalvanic cells emerging as a particularly promising alternative to Photovoltaic cells. The advantage lies in the cost-effectiveness and simplified fabrication, coupled with the capability of power storage. The utilization of the economical Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium (DOSS) surfactant, widely employed in industry, has yielded impressive electrical performance. The present investigation presents a reliable photogalvanic system composed of the photosensitizer dye Quinoline Yellow, the reductant Cellobiose, and the surfactant Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium (DOSS), all in a highly alkaline solution with platinum and graphite electrodes. The platinum electrode employed is notably small, boasting a surface area of 0.03 cm², which enhances the diffusion characteristics of the dye molecules, it is contributing to an enhanced electrical performance of the photogalvanic cell. The resulting photogalvanic cell demonstrates superior electrical performance, featuring a maximum potential of 870 mV, a maximum current of 8000 µA, power at PowerPoint of 695 µW, a fill factor of 0.11, and a conversion efficiency of 13.78 %. Spectrophotometric analysis has confirmed the stability of the dye within the electrolyte solution.

Natural compounds, such as tea polyphenols, have been shown to protect against UVB-induced damage by modulating oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and cell proliferation. The chemopreventive and anti-inflammatory properties of South African rooibos (<em>Aspalathus linearis</em>) and honeybush (<em>Cyclopia spp</em>.) herbal teas have been shown to mainly target the early stages of cancer development through mechanisms that involve intracellular interleukin-1α (IL-1α) inhibition. Thus, the aim was to investigate the preventive effects of unfermented rooibos and honeybush aqueous extracts against UVB-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in HaCaTs. Honeybush was found to reduce the accumulation of UVB-induced IL-1α while maintaining cell viability and without affecting apoptosis. Furthermore, only honeybush extract was able to decrease the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) caused by UVB exposure. Honeybush and rooibos extracts significantly decreased the secretion of UVB-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8). Except for rooibos extract at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL, both extracts restored the expression of antioxidant genes to levels observed prior to UVB exposure. The anti-inflammatory effects of these herbal tea extracts are likely attributed to the antioxidant properties of their polyphenolic constituents, which modulate the oxidative stress-induced pathways governing inflammatory responses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100242"},"PeriodicalIF":3.261,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666469024000174/pdfft?md5=5dcc7cbf4a6572f10748e8319e5fea35&pid=1-s2.0-S2666469024000174-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To remove these recalcitrant, a novel ternary g-C₃N₄/ZnO/Ag₂CrO₄ and its polyaniline-supported (PANI) composites were synthesized using an “in situ” oxidative polymerization approach. XRD, SEM, UV–Vis DRS, and PL techniques were utilized to characterize the as-prepared composites. The photocatalytic efficiency was evaluated using a model organic pollutant, methylene blue (MB), and samples of the effluent of the textile industry. The as-synthesized ternary g-C₃N₄/ZnO/Ag₂CrO₄ (ZT3= 87.87 %) composite showed better photocatalytic performance than the single (5 %) and binaries (15–25 %) counterparts for MB degradation. The influence of various experimental settings on the photodegradation of MB dye was examined and these were an initial dye amount of 10 ppm, photocatalyst load of 0.15 g/L, and pH 10. Under optimized conditions, PANI-supported g-C₃N₄/ZnO/Ag₂CrO₄ composite (PAST) demonstrated substantial degradation efficiency (97.5 %). The reusability study of the spent catalyst revealed a reduced efficiency from 97.5 to 78.5 % photodegradation of MB after four successive cycles, demonstrating the photocatalyst's stability and efficiency. According to the study on the effect of scavengers, h⁺ plays a significant part in the discoloration of MB. The PAST photocatalyst outperformed the MB discoloration (97.5 %) and adequate degradation for real textile effluent samples (77.7 %) collected from Hawassa textile industries.
