Photodynamic Inactivation of Microorganisms Using Semisynthetic Chlorophyll <i>a</i> Derivatives as Photosensitizers

In this study, we describe the semisynthesis of cost-effective photosensitizers (PSs) derived from chlorophyll a containing different substituents and using previously described methods from the literature. We compared their structures when used in photodynamic inactivation (PDI) against <i>St...
