Résumé

Old-generation photosensitizers are minimally used in current photodynamic therapy (PDT) because they absorb in the UV/blue/green region of the spectrum where biological tissues are generally highly absorbing. The UV/blue light of Cherenkov Radiation (CR) from nuclear disintegration of beta-emitter radionuclides shows promise as an internal light source to activate these photosensitizers within tissue. Outline of the study: 1) radionuclide choice and Cherenkov Radiation, 2) Photosensitizer choice, synthesis and radiolabeling, 3) CR-induced fluorescence, 4) Verification of ROS formation, 5) CR-induced PDT with either free eosine and free CR emitter, or with radiolabelled eosin.
