Natural Product-Based Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy: Translational Potential and Pharmaceutical Strategies for Clinical Translation

2026-03-31

Abstract excerpt

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically established, minimally invasive modality that relies on the interaction between a photosensitizer (PS), light, and molecular oxygen to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). Despite decades of development, the clinical performance of many photosensitizers remains limited—not primarily due to insufficient photodynamic activity, but rather to unfavorable physicoc...
