MULTI-ANALYTE DETECTION FOR BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS Towards Continous Monitoring of Glucose, Ionized Calcium and pH using a Viscometric Affinity Biosensor

Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, Christophe Boss, Pablo Dosil Rosende, Frédéric Schmitt

We present a viscometric affinity biosensor that can potentially allow continuous multi-analyte monitoring in biological fluids like blood or plasma. The sensing principle is based on the detection of viscosity changes of a polymeric solution which has a s ...

Chitosan-based nanogels for selective delivery of photosensitizers to macrophages and improved retention in and therapy of articular joints

Georges Wagnières, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Jérôme Barge, Lucienne Lagopoulos, Frédéric Schmitt

Macrophages play key roles in inflammatory disorders. Therefore, they are targets of treatments aiming at their local destruction in inflammation sites. However, injection of low molecular mass therapeutics, including photosensitizers, in inflamed joints r ...

Glycoside esters of 5-aminolevulinic acid for photodynamic therapy of cancer

Georges Wagnières, Jérôme Barge, Frédéric Schmitt

Aliphatic and ethylene glycol esters of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) are very efficient precursors of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) for photodynamic therapy; however, they diffuse passively across the cell membrane and thus lack cell selectiv ...

In vitro anticancer activity and biologically relevant metabolization of organometallic ruthenium complexes with carbohydrate-based ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov, Michael Groessl, Olivier Pierre Zava, Muhammad Hanif, Frédéric Schmitt

The synthesis and in vitro anticancer activity of dihalo(η6-p-cymene)(3,5,6-bicyclophosphite-α-D-glucofuranoside)ruthenium(II) complexes are described. The compds. were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry, and the mol. structures of ...
