Guidolin K, Ding L, Chen J, Wilson BC, Zheng G Nanophotonics DOI: 10.1515/nanoph-2021-0220 Porphysomes (PS) are liposome-like nanoparticles comprising pyropheophorbide-conjugated phospholipids that have demonstrated potential as multimodal theranostic agents for applications that include phototherapies, targeted drug delivery and in vivo fluorescence, photoacoustic, magnetic resonance or positron emission imaging. Previous therapeutic applications focusedContinue Reading

Charron DM, Yousefalizadeh G, Buzza HH, Rajora MA, Chen J, Stamplecoskie KG, Zheng GLangmuirDOI:10.1021/acs.langmuir.0c00843 Porphyrin aggregates have attractive photophysical properties for phototherapy and optical imaging, including quenched photosensitization, efficient photothermal conversion, and unique absorption spectra. Although hydrophobic porphyrin photosensitizers have long been encapsulated into liposomes for drug delivery, little isContinue Reading

Keca JM, Zheng G Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 2019 DOI: 10.1016/j.ccr.2017.08.026 In the present review, we present the history and future of texaphyrins, pentaaza Schiff base macrocycles with an expanded 5-coordination sphere, possessing chelation prowess of 24 different stable 1:1 complexes. Intrinsically unique photophysical and magnetic properties of metallotexaphyrins have enabledContinue Reading
