Purpurins and benzochlorins are hydrophobic second generation photosensitizers, which have sizable absorption in the 650-780 nm range and exhibit photodynamic activity against tumors after visible light treatment. This review summarizes the published data regarding these compounds: from the spectros
The effect of visible light (400-600 nm) on Candida guilliermondii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied, and irradiation fluences killing the yeast cells without exogenous sensitizers were determined. The lethal effects are strongly oxygen-dependent, suggesting the involvement of photodynamic re
