The ability of compounds to generate various reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen, is attracting the attention from researchers across multiple fields. These compounds, known as photosensitizers, exploit the high oxidative potential of ROS and have found diverse applications in medicine. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic inactivation (PDI) already being actively employed for the treatment of tumors , bacterial and fungal infections. In addition, the use of photosensitizers is also promising for antiviral therapy .
