The toxicities and phototoxicities of methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue O (TBO) and Victoria blue BO (VBBO) in a murine mammary tumour cell line (EMT6-S) and a multidrug resistant (MDR) sub-line (EMT6-R) were measured and their efficacy against the resistant

The relative contribution, to cell death, of photodynamic damage to respiratory proteins (known targets of photodynamic therapy with many photosensitizers) and other cellular sites was examined. The models were a human ovarian carcinoma cell line 2008, and its mitochondrial DNA-deficient

The cationic photosensitizing triaryl methane dye Victoria Blue BO (VBBO) localizes in mitochondria and causes oxidative damage to this organelle during photodynamic therapy (PDT). Oxidative stresses from other photosensitizers induce a variety of stress proteins. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-based, calcium-binding

Victoria Blue BO (VBBO) is thought to exert its photocytotoxic effects via free radical generation. Glutathione and related enzymes are associated with the protection of normal tissues against free-radical damage and have also been implicated in multiple drug resistance. It
