Abstract excerpt
Herein, we describe the 3'-sialyllactose-polyethyleneimine-chlorine e6 conjugate (3PC), meticulously engineered to effectively target Helicobacter bacteria (H. pylori) within the gastric environment. The composition of 3PC comprises polyethyleneimine, a cationic polymer, 3'-sialyllactose, which exhibits a specific binding affinity for H. pylori surface proteins, and a photosensitizer capable of generating oxygen...
