Fe3O4@Au@mSiO2 as an enhancing nanoplatform for Rose Bengal photodynamic activity

2017

A novel nanoplatform composed of three types of materials with different functionalities, specifically core-shell Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles encapsulated near the outer surface of mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanoparticles, has been successfully synthesised and used to enhance the efficiency of a photosensitiser, namely Rose Bengal, in singlet oxygen generation. Fe3O4 is responsible for the unusual location of the Fe3O4@Au nanoparticle, while the plasmonic shell acts as an optical antenna. In addition, the mesoporous silica matrix firmly encapsulates Rose Bengal by chemical bonding inside the pores, thus guaranteeing its photostability, and in turn making the nanosystem biocompatible. Moreover, th…

Photosensibilisierte Oxidation von Lysozym bei Verschiedenen Wellenlängen

1974

The photooxidation of lysozyme in the presence of methylene blue, riboflavine, and bengal rose at differentpH values and wavelengths was studied. Monochromatic irradiation at shorter wavelengths (345 and 365 nm) is - in contrast to visible light - characterized by higher energy yields and lower oxygen consumption. This behavior suggests that the mechanism of photooxidation depends on the wavelength. The specific destruction of amino acid residues is also wavelength-dependent. Using visible light of 448 and 621 nm for riboflavine and methylene blue, respectively, we have confirmed the selective destruction of histidine and tryptophan atpH 7,0. The energy yield for the destruction of tryptoph…

Photochemically induced, graded cerebral infarction in the mouse by laser irradiation evolution of brain edema

1992

Cerebral infarction was produced in mice by intravenous injection of a photosensitive dye, rose bengal (10 mg/kg), and by focal illumination of the intact skull surface for 3 min with a laser source, operating at 570 nm with power levels of 2, 5, 10, and 20 mW. Location of infarction was made using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride and the time course of edema in the irradiated cerebral hemisphere was evaluated by measuring water, sodium, and potassium content 4, 24, and 72 hr after irradiation. With power levels of 2 and 5 mW, the infarct was restricted to the cortex, whereas with power levels of 10 and 20 mW, it extended to subcortical regions. Increases in water and sodium and decrease…

Mechanical characterization of rose bengal and green light crosslinked collagen scaffolds for regenerative medicine

2021

Abstract Collagen is one of the most important biomaterials for tissue engineering approaches. Despite its excellent biocompatibility, it shows the non-negligible disadvantage of poor mechanical stability. Photochemical crosslinking with rose bengal and green light (RGX) is an appropriate method to improve this property. The development of collagen laminates is helpful for further adjustment of the mechanical properties as well as the controlled release of incorporated substances. In this study, we investigate the impact of crosslinking and layering of two different collagen scaffolds on the swelling behavior and mechanical behavior in micro tensile tests to obtain information on its wearin…

Energy transfer to xanthene dyes in dansylated POPAM dendrimers

2011

Abstract Excitation energy transfer (EET) in host–guest complexes of dansylated POPAM dendrimers and xanthene dyes have been studied by transient absorption spectroscopy. EET from dansyl periphery to guests: rose bengal, eosin, or fluorescein, showed non-exponential behaviour as a result of distribution of donor–acceptor distances. Time constants range from 100 fs to 8 ps, independent of the dye and the dendrimer generation. Experiments suggested that in dendrimers binding more than one guest, EET among the guests becomes effective. Guest–host and guest–guest interactions induce non-radiative relaxation channels making excitation decays of the guests clearly faster in complexes than in solu…

For medical application, easily accessible biomaterials with tailored properties are desirable. Collagen type I represents a biomaterial of choice for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Here, we present a simple method to modify the properties of collagen and to generate collagen laminates. We selected three commercially available collagen sheets with different thicknesses and densities and examined the effect of rose bengal and green light collagen crosslinking (RGX) on properties such as microstructure, swelling degree, mechanical stability, cell compatibility and drug release. The highest impact of RGX was measured for Atelocollagen, for which the swelling degree was reduced f…
