Lapoot L, Jabeen S, Durantini A, Greer A
Photochem Photobiol . 2023 Aug; 100(2):455-464. PMID: 37602967
A density functional theoretical (DFT) study is presented, implicating a O oxidation process to reach a dihydrobenzofuran from the reaction of the natural homoallylic alcohol, glycocitrine. Our results predict an...

Durantini A, Lapoot L, Jabeen S, Ghosh G, Bipu J, Essang S, et al.
Langmuir . 2023 Jul; 39(31):11134-11144. PMID: 37497839
Although silica surfaces have been used in organic oxidations for the production of peroxides, studies of airborne singlet oxygen at interfaces are limited and have not found widespread advantages. Here,...

Baptista M, Cadet J, Greer A, Thomas A
Photochem Photobiol . 2022 Dec; 99(2):313-334. PMID: 36575651
The interaction of light with natural matter leads to a plethora of photosensitized reactions. These reactions cause the degradation of biomolecules, such as DNA, lipids, proteins, being therefore detrimental to...

Fonseca J, Sosa M, Petroselli G, Erra-Balsells R, Quindt M, Bonesi S, et al.
Photochem Photobiol . 2022 Dec; 99(2):593-604. PMID: 36478217
Here, we provide mechanistic insight to the photocleavage of a compound in the folate family, namely pteroic acid. A bis-decyl chain derivative of pteroic acid was synthesized, structurally characterized and...

Turque O, OConnor R, Greer A
Photochem Photobiol . 2022 Sep; 99(2):652-660. PMID: 36148660
The role of singlet oxygen potentially mediating increased conformational flexibility of a disulfide was investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the singlet oxygenation of 1,2-dimethyldisulfane produces a peroxy...

Jabeen S, Ghosh G, Lapoot L, Durantini A, Greer A
Photochem Photobiol . 2022 Aug; 99(2):637-641. PMID: 35977738
The sensitized photooxidation of ortho-prenyl phenol is described with evidence that solvent aproticity favors the formation of a dihydrobenzofuran [2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran], a moiety commonly found in natural products. Benzene solvent increased...

J Photochem Photobiol B . 2022 Jun; 233:112458. PMID: 35691161
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to control biofilms involved in periodontal diseases. However, certain challenges, such as staining of teeth, preferential interaction of photosensitizer (PS) with Gram-positive...

Malek B, Lu W, Mohapatra P, Walalawela N, Jabeen S, Liu J, et al.
Langmuir . 2022 May; 38(19):6036-6048. PMID: 35506607
A mechanistic study is reported for the reactions of singlet oxygen (O) with alkene surfactants of tunable properties. Singlet oxygen was generated either top-down (photochemically) by delivery as a gas...
