Fluorescent Bioactive Corrole Grafted-Chitosan Films
Joana F. B. Barata,Ricardo J.B. Pinto,Vanda Vaz Serra,Armando J. D. Silvestre,Tito Trindade,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Sara Daina,Patrizia Sadocco,Carmen S. R. Freire +9 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the chemical grafting of chitosan with corrole units did not affect its film-forming ability and that the grafting yield increased with the reaction time, and the obtained transparent films presented fluorescence which increases with the amount of grafted cor role units.

New porphyrin amino acid conjugates: synthesis and photodynamic effect in human epithelial cells.
Vanda Vaz Serra,Alicia Zamarrón,Maria A. F. Faustino,M. C. Iglesias-de la Cruz,Alfonso Blázquez,João M. M. Rodrigues,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Angeles Juarranz,Francisco Sanz-Rodríguez +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that these amino acid porphyrin conjugates are potential photosensitizers for PDT.

Mariana C. S. Vallejo,Nuno M. M. Moura,Ana C. Gomes,Ana S. M. Joaquinito,Maria A. F. Faustino,Adelaide Almeida,Idalina Gonçalves,Vanda Vaz Serra,Maria da Graça P. M. S. Neves +8 more
TL;DR: The use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to eradicate microorganisms has been regarded as a promising alternative to anti-infective therapies, such as those based on antibiotics, and more recently, is being considered for skin wound-healing, namely for infected wounds.

J-aggregate formation in bis-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrins in water : pH and counterion dependence
Vanda Vaz Serra,Suzana M. Andrade,Maria G. P. M. S. Neves,José A. S. Cavaleiro,Sílvia M. B. Costa +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the self aggregation behavior of meso-tetraaryl porphyrins containing two carboxyphenyl units in adjacent and opposite positions was investigated at different pH values.

β-Formyl- and β-Vinylporphyrins: Magic Building Blocks for Novel Porphyrin Derivatives
Ana F R Cerqueira,Nuno M. M. Moura,Vanda Vaz Serra,Vanda Vaz Serra,M. Amparo F. Faustino,Augusto C. Tomé,José A. S. Cavaleiro,M. Graça P. M. S. Neves +7 more
TL;DR: This review discusses mainly synthetic strategies based on the reaction of meso-tetraarylporphyrins bearing those groups at β-pyrrolic positions that are used for further transformations, namely via pericyclic reactions.
