A new green, environmentally and economically photooxygenation of olefins by molecular oxygen in the presence of 4-carboxyl tetra phenyl porphyrin (H2TCPP), Rose Bengal (RB), Methylene Blue (MB) and some metallosensitizers (MS) such as cobalt phthalocyaninesulfonate (Coph(SO3H)[Formula: see text], MnTCPPCl, FeTCPPCl and SbTPP(OH)2 as water–soluble sensitizers in organic–water biphasic media at room temperature under visible light was illustrated. The products were obtained with 100% conversion by H2TCPP and 100% selectivity by Coph(SO3H)4. Also in this study, singlet oxygen production as the major route for oxidation of olefins was proved.

Computational tools have been used to study the photophysical and photochemical features of photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT) –a minimally invasive, less aggressive alternative for cancer treatment. PDT is mainly based by the activation of molecular oxygen through the action of a photoexcited sensitizer (photosensitizer). Temoporfin, widely known as mTHPC, is a second-generation photosensitizer, which produces the cytotoxic singlet oxygen when irradiated with visible light and hence destroys tumor cells. However, the bioavailability of the mostly hydrophobic photosensitizer, and hence its incorporation into the cells, is fundamental to achieve the desired effect on malignant tissues by PDT. In this study, we focus on the optical properties of the temoporfin chromophore in different environments –in <i>vacuo</i>, in solution, encapsulated in drug delivery agents, namely cyclodextrin, and interacting with a lipid bilayer.

We are delighted to respond to the criticisms of Drs McDonagh and Lightner of our review article on phototherapy (Pediatrics 65:740, 1980). 1 and 2. Dr McDonagh correctly notes that he did not administer rose bengal but rather hemato-porphyrin to Gunn rats in showing that a singlet oxygen photosensitizer could dramatically accelerate the photocatabolism of bilirubin in these animals.1 However, it is not appropriate for McDonagh to deny that he proposed that generation and addition of singlet oxygen is a major mechanism of phototherapy, as the experiment cited above was used as evidence for this view.

We demonstrate that a cyclic free-base porphyrin dimer and its inclusion complex with fullerene C60 possess the ability to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) under visible light irradiation.
