    摘要: A method and composition for destroying microbes, especially bacteria, in the body utilizing Safranin O in conjunction with electromagnetic radiation is disclosed. In a preferred method, a composition comprising Safranin O is introduced to a treatment area. After a sufficient period of time has elapsed, radiation of a suitable wavelength is applied to the area to activate the Safranin O and by a photodynamic reaction to destroy the bacteria. Preferred radiation has a wavelength around 530 nm. This method is effective for destroying both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and is particularly effective in areas where complex media such as blood serum, blood or saliva are also present.

    摘要: A method and composition for destroying microbes, especially bacteria, in the body utilizing Erythrosin B in conjunction with electromagnetic radiation is disclosed. In a preferred method, a composition comprising Erythrosin B is introduced to a treatment area. After a sufficient period of time has elapsed, radiation of a suitable wavelength is applied to the area to activate the Erythrosin B and by a photodynamic reaction to destroy the bacteria. Preferred radiation has a wavelength around 530 nm. Erythrosin B is incorporated within a gel, which acts to restrict the photodynamic action proximate to the biofilm, thus ensuring that only unwanted bacteria is effected and natural microflora is unharmed. This method is effective for destroying at least Grampositive bacteria, and is particularly effective in areas where complex media such as saliva are also present.

    摘要: Antimicrobial molecular conjugates for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms in human and animals are provided. The key to these conjugates is a special spacer connecting at least one photosensitizer to a microorganism receptor (vector) which in turn binds selectively to the surface of a microorganism bringing about photo-destruction upon irradiation. Spacers having hydrophilic structure such as ethylene glycol units and amino carboxyl end capped ethylene glycol units must be used for linking the vector to the photosensitizer. In a preferred embodiment a spacer would have at least 3 ethylene glycol units and be end capped with a carboxyl group on one end and a amino group at the other end. The present invention effectively works to combat bacterial infection in the real patient-related environments where blood, serum and other body fluids are always present or at least nearby, of selected length and structure, in preferred embodiments, are used for linking the vector to the photosensitizer. These conjugate are found to be very effective in combating bacterial infection in the real patient-related environments where blood, serum and other body fluids are always present or a least nearby. A method of use is also provided.

    摘要: Present invention provides enhanced methods and improved devices to eliminate, reduce, destroy and/or inhibit undesired body fluid species, such as pathogen microbes and deteriorated or malignant cells in complex environments like blood, serum and other body fluids. In preferred embodiments, present invention provides an antimicrobial PDT treatment that effectively inactivates, reduces and/or destroys both Gram (−) and Gram (+) bacteria in complex body fluids. Methods to enhance antimicrobial PDT activity includes the steps of administering a photosensitizer to bacteria-contaminated fluid, after a dwell time guiding bacteria-contaminated fluid with photosensitizer through a channel, emitting radiation preferably in an intermittent manner, and restoring treated body fluids to corresponding body regions. Electromagnetic radiation is preferably delivered intermittently with pulse width based on treatment parameters. Preferred device embodiments comprise guiding channels and at least one electromagnetic radiation source, arranged separately or in sequence. Preferably, laser device or LED-panels are used to deliver electromagnetic radiation to activate the photosensitizer. When used with preferred photosensitizer composition based on Safranin O, preferred laser radiation wavelength is in the range of 500-580 nm. Additionally, present invention diminishes adverse host's inflammatory responses by neutralizing the biological activity of pathogenic microorganism fragments and reducing and/or removing pathogenic microorganism fragments responsible for it.

    摘要: A new approach for targeting chemotherapeutics to focal bacterial infections is provided. Such focal infections are characterized by high densities of different bacteria and thus high concentrations of their extracellular signal molecules sensing the cell density. In gram-negative bacteria, one of such signal molecules is acylhomoserine lactone (acyl-HSL, member of the autoinducer family AI-1), wherein species-specificity is achieved by acyl-residues, and HSLs are common for all gram-negative bacteria. In gram-positive bacteria, oligopeptides secreted by the bacteria communicate the cell density. In addition, there are cell density signal molecules (members of the autoinducer family AI-2) which communicate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The general scheme of the present invention is molecular modules that comprise both a targeting component and a chemotherapeutical component which serves for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT). One preferred embodiment of the present invention is to target photosensitizers to the extracellular signal molecules instead of on the bacteria themselves. Targeting of the photosensitizers is mediated via molecules with efficient binding to the HSL-moiety of the acyl-HSL, so that a broad spectrum of gram-negative bacteria can be knocked out. Photosensitizers used in the present invention can be packed into special liposomes with lipid chelators or multiple coupled to dendrimers, so that they are especially effective for PACT. In addition, selected molecules with high affinity to a common moiety of such signal molecules, like HSL, may be used as molecular probes for the search of yet undiscovered cell density dependent signals.
