Technical description
Zinc(II) phthalocyanines with NO-releasing moieties for advanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) targeting hypoxic tumours. These photosensitizers suppress mitochondrial respiration, preserve intracellular oxygen, and enhance PDT efficacy.
Simplified description
Scientists have developed innovative compounds that release nitric oxide to improve photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment. These compounds help retain oxygen in cells and boost the therapy's effectiveness by targeting the energy processes of tumor cells, especially in low-oxygen environments.
