We report the synthesis, photochemical and photophysical properties and preliminary studies on biological effect of a new tritolylporphyrin dimer (T-D). Absorption and emission properties of T-D suggest its possible use in photodynamic therapy. T-D is capable of singlet oxygen production with 0.8 quantum yield. It also has a high photostability. The photodynamic properties of the dimer were examined following the growth of SKMEL 188 (human melanoma) cells irradiated with red light (cut off < 630 nm). The surviving fraction of the cells decreased about 3-fold (vs. non-irradiated cells) for an 81 J/cm dose. Our results suggest that tritolylporphyrine dimer T-D may be an interesting hydrophobic sensitizer for photodynamic therapy.

Pyropheophorbid-a (PyroPheo) is one of the well-known photosensitizers which can be useful for future clinical applications. This work is aimed to compare and measure generation rates of single oxygen through activation of pyropheophorbide-a by four different wavelength, and observe the sensitivity of pyropheophorbide-a mediated photodynamic therapy for eca-109 cell. Methods: UV-vis spectrophotometrics was used to measure decrease of singlet oxygen probe 9,10-dimethylanthracene(DPBF) so as to evaluate singlet oxygen production generation. The Eca-109 cells were were exposed to light (650nm) with a constant light power of 200mW/cm2, at a distance of 5cm, for 25 to 200 seconds. The results were measured by MTT assay. Results: pyropheophorbide-a in DMF solution irradiation by different light power can produce singlet oxygen quickly. Comparison of single oxygen generation rate has proved that photodynamic effect at 532nm is fastest, followed by 650nm, 635nm, 690nm which has correlation with absorbance of pyropheophorbide-a. The survival rate of cells dropped after irradiation by light what was significantly different from other groups. Conclusion: pyropheophorbide-a is an excellent photosensitizer and prooxidant. Through activated by different wavelength it could be apply to different disease

In this study, the synthesis and characterization of mono-(phthalocyaninato) lutetium(III) (1-Cl and 1-F) [Lu[Formula: see text](AcO)(Pc)] (Pc [Formula: see text] phthalocyaninato, AcO [Formula: see text] acetate) and bis-(phthalocyaninato) lutetium(III) (2-Cl and 2-Br) [Lu[Formula: see text]Pc[Formula: see text]] bearing halogenated (F, Cl and Br) phenoxy–phenoxy groups are described and verified by IR, [Formula: see text]H-NMR, UV-vis and mass spectrometry. Photochemical and photophysical properties of 1-F, 1-Cl 2-Cl and 2-Br in DMSO are also presented. A comparison between photophysical and photochemical parameters of mono and bis derivatives showed that mono phthalocyanines are better photosensitizers than bis phthalocyanines. Photophysical and photochemical properties of phthalocyanines are very useful for photodynamic therapy applications. Singlet oxygen quantum yields [Formula: see text] give an indication of the potential of the complexes as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy applications. The chloro, fluoro, bromo-phenoxy–phenoxy substituted mono-(phthalocyaninato) lutetium(III) complexes (1-Cl and 1-F) gave good singlet oxygen quantum yields (from 0.86 to 0.80) in DMSO. Thus, these complexes show potential as Type II photosensitizers for PDT of cancer.

Photodynamic inactivation of bacteria (PIB) by efficient singlet oxygen photosensitizers might be a beneficial alternative to antibiotics in the struggle against multiresistant bacteria. Phenothiazinium dyes belong to the most prominent classes of such sensitizers due to their intense absorption in the red-light region ( ca. 600–680 nm,  L mol−1 cm−1), their low toxicity, and their attachment/penetration abilities. Except simple substituents like alkyl or hydroxyalkyl residues, nearly no modifications of the phenothiaziniums have been pursued at the auxochromic sites. By this, the properties of methylene blue derivatives and their fields of application are limited; it remains unclear if their potential antimicrobial efficacy may be enhanced, also to compete with porphyrins. We prepared a set of six mainly novel methylene blue derivatives with the ability of additional hydrogen bonding and/or additional cationic charges to study the substituents’ effect on their activity/toxicity profiles and photophysical properties. Direct detection of singlet oxygen was performed at 1270 nm and the singlet oxygen quantum yields were determined. In suspensions with both, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, some derivatives were highly active upon illumination to inactivateS. aureusandE. coliup to 7 log10steps (99.99999%) without inherent toxicities in the nonirradiated state.

Lipophilic substituted zinc(II) phthalocyanines: 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis[(N,N-dimethylaminoethylsulfanyl)]phthalocyaninatozinc(II) (S1) and tetrakis(N,N-dibutylaminoethoxy)phthalocyaninatozinc(II) (3) were incorporated into soybean L-α-phosphatidylcholine (SPC) liposomes of 100 nm diameter. Liposomes were characterized by static light scattering (SLS), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), and differential scanning calorimetry. The fluorescence quantum yield and singlet molecular oxygen production of 3 are Φ F = 0.15 and ΦΔ = 0.24, respectively, whereas the same photophysical parameters for S1 are Φ F = 0.13 and ΦΔ = 0.51. Higher values of Φ F and ΦΔ are obtained in organic solvent for both dyes. Synthesis of compound 3 has also been reported.
