We prepared antibacterial polystyrene nanoparticles (NPs) with natural photosensitizers from chlorophyll (Chl) extract via a simple nanoprecipitation method using the same solvent for dissolution of the polystyrene matrix and extraction of Chls from spinach leaves. A high photo-oxidation and antibacterial effect was demonstrated on Escherichia coli and was based on the photo generation of singlet oxygen O-2((1)Delta(g)), which was directly monitored by NIR luminescence measurements and indirectly verified using a chemical trap. The photoactivity of NPs was triggered by visible light, with enhanced red absorption by Chls. To reduce the quenching effect of carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, etc.) in the Chl extract, diluted and/or preirradiated samples, in which the photo-oxidized carotenoids lose their quenching effect, were used for preparation of the NPs. For enhanced photo-oxidation and antibacterial effects, a sulfonated polystyrene matrix was used for preparation of a stable dispersion of sulfonated NPs, with the quenching effect of carotenoids being suppressed.
