This study provides insight into the
photodynamic properties and potential applications of the nitrosylruthenium (II) complexes.
An effective photosensitizer to be used for
photodynamic inactivation of microbes should have minimal dark toxicity and be able to rapidly clear from normal tissue once introduced into the body reducing phototoxic side effects.

Uptill now 37 colleges have been arranged on Condensed Matter, Particle Physics, Cosmology, Solid State Physics, Polymer Physics, Biophysics, Laser Physics, Plasma Physics, Medical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Renewable Energy Resources, Supernova, Accelerator Physics, Computational Physics, Nanosciences and its applications, Synchrotron, Radiation, Biophotonics, and
Photodynamics.
Additional information on the photobleaching behaviour of the photosensitizers is needed to calculate the optimum
photodynamic therapy (PDT) dose.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) matured as feasible medical technology in 1980s at several institutions in the world basically as a treatment for cancer involving 3 components:
The therapy uses a combination of amino acids and light to create oxygen radicals with
photodynamics. In 85-percent of the cases tested the oxygen radicals destroyed the cancer cells.
