A novel end-functionalized glycopolymer poly (3-O-methacryloyl-D-glucofuranose) -b-poly (2-Diethylaminoethyl Methacrylate) (PMAGlc-b-PDEA-ZnTAPc) with zinc (II) teraamaninophthalocyanine was synthesized. First, a pH-responsive copolymer PMAIpG-b-PDEA was synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Then PMAIpG-b-PDEA reacted with ZnTAPc and deprotected to form a water-soluble and pH-responsive photosensitizer. The structure of the PMAGlc-b-PDEA-ZnTAPc was characterized by 1H NMR and GPC. The photophysical properties were evaluated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra. The PMAGlc-b-PDEA-ZnTAPc can generate singlet oxygen species with good singlet oxygen quantum yields (Φ△=0.38), which is believed to be the major cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic therapy. The ZnPc functionalized glycopolymer will be used as a potential photosensitizer in the fields of photodynamic therapy.

ABSTRACTThin silicate nanoplatelets, derived from the exfoliation of natural Sodium montmorillonite (Na+-MMT) clays, show an unexpected antimicrobial property. A physical trapping mechanism has been proposed because the clay nanoplatelets can indiscriminately inhibit the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria, including drug-resistant species such as methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MRSA) and silver ion-resistant E. coli. The ability to generate singlet oxygen species was first observed for the clay platelets that showed a high-aspect-ratio geometric shape and the presence of surface ionic charges. By comparison, the pristine clay with a multilayered structure failed to generate any singlet oxygen species. The ability to emit singlet oxygen species provides direct evidence for the antimicrobial ability of clay through a non-chemical mechanism, which opens the potential for medical use.

N4 macrocyclic complexes of Al and Zn phthalocyanines with symmetrical imine and imidazole moiety at the periphery were synthesized. The synthesized ligands, complexes, and polymers were purified and characterized to study the structure of the molecule. These synthesized complexes were used for photodynamic therapy application as the diamagnetic Zn and Al have the ability to produce and stabilize singlet oxygen species. The synthesized N4 molecules of aluminum iminomethoxy phenyl phthalocyanine and aluminum ethyl phenyl benzimidazolephthalocyanine showed better activity against MCF-7 cells. These results suggest that this assay may be used as an early biomarker of clinical response.
