This study aims to test the absorbance of a new composition of erythrosine, its pH, cell viability and potential as a photo sensitizer against Candida albicans when irratiaded with blue light emitting-diode (LED).For pH and absorbance tests, erythrosine was prepared at a concentration of 0.03/ml. The cells of the L929 strain were cultured and the alamarBlue® assay was performed on samples to assess cell viability. For the microbiological essay, the strain of Candida albicans ATCC 90028 was selected. Yeast suspensions were divided into the following groups: control without irradiation or photosensitizer (C), irradiated group without photosensitizer (L), photosensitizer group without irradiation (0), and groups that received photosensitizer and irradiation, called aPDT groups.Erythrosine had no significant changes in pH and its absorbance was also consistent (≅400 nm). When it came to cell viability, on the first day, the group that was in contact with the dye and irradiated with the LED in minimun power was found to have the higher cell proliferation. On day 3, both irradiated groups (maximum and minimum) showed the highest cell proliferation. In the microbiological essay with C. albicans, aPDT groups started to show microbial reduction after 60 and 90 s of irradiation and when irradiated for 120 s, 6 microbial reduction logs were found.The erythrosine in question is a PS, with pH stability, blue light absorbance, cell viability and efficacy against C. albicans. More studies with this PS should be encouraged in order to verify its performance in aPDT.
