چکیده

5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(N-(2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl)benzamide)porphyrin produced twice as many singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) molecules at pH 5.0 (quantum yield 0.53 ± 0.01) than at pH 7.4, whereas the (1)O(2) quenching rate was reduced by a factor of 2.5 for a pH change from 7.4 to 5.0.

A Tumor-pH-Responsive Supramolecular Photosensitizer for Activatable Photodynamic Therapy with Minimal In Vivo Skin Phototoxicity

A major challenge in photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the development of new tumor-targeting photosensitizers. The tumor-specific activation is considered to be an effective strategy for designing these photosensitizers. Herein, we describe a novel tumor-pH-responsive supramolecular photosensitizer, LDH-ZnPcS8, which is not photoactive under neutral conditions but is precisely and efficiently acti...
