This manual covers Antimicrobial Photodynamic Inactivation and Antitumor Photodynamic Therapy with Fullerenes, authored by Lucas F. de Freitas and Michael R. Hamblin. Published by IOP Concise Physics in April 2016, this work delves into the application of fullerenes, also known as bucky-balls, within photodynamic therapy (PDT). It is designed for researchers in photomedicine and nanomedicine, particularly those focused on PDT for cancer and infectious disease treatment, offering insights into photonic science in healthcare.
The scope of this manual encompasses a comprehensive overview, beginning with the history and chemistry of fullerenes and fundamental photochemistry. It then progresses to the practical application of fullerenes as photosensitizers for both cancer treatment and antimicrobial inactivation. This resource serves as a detailed guide for understanding and utilizing fullerenes in advanced therapeutic applications.
This book provides detailed and current information on using fullerenes (bucky-balls) in photodynamic therapy (PDT), one of the most actively studied applications of photonic science in healthcare. This will serve as a useful source for researchers working in photomedicine and nanomedicine, especially those who are investigating PDT for cancer treatment and infectious disease treatment. The book runs the gamut from an introduction to the history and chemistry of fullerenes and some basic photochemistry, to the application of fullerenes as photosensitizers for cancer and antimicrobial inactivation.
