Use of a flexible thiopyrylium photosensitizer and competitive inhibitor for pathogen reduction of viruses and bacteria with retention of red cell storage properties

BACKGROUND: Progress in developing photochemical methods for pathogen reduction of red blood cells (RBCs) has been hampered by hemolysis. A flexible, nucleic acid‐intercalating thiopyrylium (TP) dye that is only photochemically active in the bound state and a competitive inhibitor of RBC membrane binding, dipyridamole (DP), was used to reduce photoinduced hemolysis stemming from free‐ and membrane‐bound dye.
