Subphthalocyanine (SubPc) macrocycles are known as an interesting class of nonplanar aromatic dyes. Despite documented high fluorescence and singlet oxygen quantum yields, the properties of SubPcs in photodynamic therapy (PDT) are underestimated, because their absorption bands do not reach a significant wavelength range. With this in mind, we combined a SubPc ring and a SubPc ring by introducing a common benzene ring and obtained a SubPc dimer (2) and trimer (3) with the Q-band at the near-IR region, owing to the expansion of the [Formula: see text] electron conjugated system. In this study, we reported 1O2 generation abilities of 2 and 3based on the applied absolute singlet oxygen quantum yields ([Formula: see text]absolute). Subsequent research revealed that 2 and 3 showed the potential to generate 1O2 to not only in toluene but also in DMSO. Although the photocytotoxicity of 2 and 3 were investigated upon photo-irradiation with a low light dose of approximately 1.5 J/cm2, 2 and 3 showed almost negligible toxic properties toward HEp2 cells.

New heterogeneous photosensitizers were synthesized, in which phthalocyanines of zinc and aluminum, tetrasubstituted at non-peripheral positions with modified thiophenyl groups, were grafted to aminopropyl silica gel. The absorption and fluorescence spectra, and the quantum yields of fluorescence and photosensitized singlet oxygen generation were estimated for aqueous suspensions of these sensitizers. It is shown that upon photoexcitation, silica gel-bound phthalocyanines produce singlet oxygen and display photobactericidal activity against bacteria E. coli.

Tetra substituted peripheral and non-peripheral Zn(II) phthalocyanines were successfully synthesized employing 4-(bis(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl)phenol as a starting material. The structure of these synthesized compounds was confirmed using 1H NMR, [Formula: see text]C NMR, infrared (IR), UV-vis, and MALDI-TOF spectral data. The photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen generation) properties of all synthesized peripheral and non-peripheral compounds were investigated in order to determine the potential of these compounds for application in photodynamic therapy.

Singlet oxygen production quantum yields of pteridine photosensitizers were analyzed with the QSPR method. The ability of pterins and flavins to generate1O2in D2O correlated withEHOMOand electronegativity, as well as with the dipole moment and some other parameters.

The photochemical properties of water-insoluble metal-free tetraazachlorin derivatives in organic solvents and aqueous micellar solutions of nonionic surfactants were investigated. The quantum yields of fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation were evaluated in benzene. The highest photostability and singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 0.7) was found for 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-7,8,12,13,17,18-hexaphenyltetraazachlorin. The moderate ΦΔ values (0.21–0.35) of triarenotetraazachlorins in benzene were established. Expansion of tetraazachlorin π-system by fusion of three aromatic rings leads to reduction of efficiency of singlet oxygen generation. The study of photodegradation mechanism shows that radical photooxidation apparently is most plausible, though 1 O 2 may partly contribute to photodestruction of some tetraazachlorins. In aqueous colloidal solution of nonionic surfactant (Cremophor EL) the same, as in benzene, effect of sensitizer structure upon efficacy of singlet oxygen production was observed. It was shown that 1 O 2 diffusion from micelle core into solution and then to target slows its oxidation rate substantially in comparison to the case where sensitizer and target are localized in the same micelle.
