ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY-RESTORING AND PHOTOSENSITIVE AGENTS

The present disclosure describes a method to treat conditions, including bacterial infections and cancer, using a photosensitive compound that, upon exposure to white light, can be activated. The photosensitive compound can also interact synergistically with antibiotics used concomitantly to kill drug-resistant bacteria. The photosensitive compounds can also be used to inhibit the proliferation ofcancer cells. 本公开内容描述了使用在暴露于白光后可被激活的光敏化合物治疗病况(包括细菌感染和癌症)的方法。该光敏化合物还可与伴随使用的抗生素协同相互作用以杀死抗药性细菌。该光敏化合物还可用于抑制癌细胞的增殖。
