Additional physical formats: Also available in print.Summary: 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 inactivationSummary: Preface -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Fullerenes -- 3. Resonant energy transfer -- 4. Photo-induced charge transfer -- 5. Fullerenes as photosensitizers -- 6. Chemical modificationsSummary: 7. Examples of the synthesis of monocationic and polycationic fullerene derivatives -- 7.1. Synthesis of hexa-anionic fullerene derivatives -- 7.2. Synthesis of mono- or polycationic fullerene derivatives -- 7.3. Synthesis of chromophore-linked fullerene derivatives -- 7.4. The photophysics and photochemistry of fullerenyl molecular micelles and chromophore-fullerene conjugates -- 7.5. Synthesis of liposomal or micellar fullerenesSummary: 8. Photodynamic therapy -- 8.1. Traditional photosensitizers -- 9. Photosensitizer formulations for fullerene-mediated PDT -- 10. In vitro anti-cancer PDT with fullerenes -- 11. In vivo PDT for cancer -- 12. Antibiotic resistance and viral infections -- 13. General aspects of photodynamic inactivation of bacteria -- 14. In vitro antimicrobial PDT with fullerenes -- 15. In vivo antimicrobial PDT with fullerenes -- 16. ConclusionsPPN: PPN: 85898623XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-135-ICP | ZDB-135-IAL
