Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a method that consists of combining a photosensitizer (PS), a light source at the appropriate wavelength, and molecular oxygen, forming reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to death in the target cell. The objective of this work was to compare the effects of PDT with two chlorins, Photodithazine (PDZ) and Fotoenticine (FTC), in 9L/lacZ gliosarcoma cell lines. Both chlorins, together with an LED device at 660 nm with a fluence of 10 J/cm2 , were included in the study. It was observed that the response to therapy depends on the concentration and type of PS used. In addition, PDZ showed a higher quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation than FTC.pdfen-USArtigos de PeriódicosMDPILetícia Corrêa FontanaJuliana Guerra PintoJéssica Aparecida MagalhãesDayane Batista TadaRainara Moreno Sanches de AlmeidaCristina Pacheco-SoaresJuliana Ferreira-Strixino10.3390/photochem2010013Brain tumorPhotosensitizerPhotodynamic therapyQuantum yieldFONTANA, L.
