Biotinylated-cationic zinc(II) phthalocyanine towards photodynamic therapy

Abstract: Targeting biotin receptors in cancer cells can improve specifying of photosensitizers (PSs) for cancer treatment by photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. Consequently, there has been extensive research focusing mainly on the design of PSs with optimized pharmaceutical properties and better targeting toward cancer cells. Herein a tailored mono-biotinylated zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Pc-1) substituted with six phenoxy-bis(triazolyl) substituents has been synthesized. This Pc-1 has been further modified to its c… Show more

“…singlet oxygen), coupled with high thermal and chemical stability, low-toxicity and high optical absorption (ɛ > 105 M À 1 cm À 1 ) (ɛ > 10 5 M À 1 cm À 1 ) in the visible and near-IR ranges (600-800 nm), make Pcs/AzaPcs excellent photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). [10] However, the insolubilities of these substances, associated with hydrophobicity and tendency to self-aggregate, leads to accumulation in physiological fluids and low binding affinities to targeted cancer cells. [9b,11] Different approaches have been sought to overcome these problems including introduction of polyvalent hydrophilic ligating sites (eg.…”

“…The PS molecule is excited because of absorption of energy irradiation. This energy is then transferred molecules to molecular oxygen (O 3 ) in the vicinity of the tumor [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The reactive oxygen species, such as: singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) , hydroxyl radicals (HO · ), superoxide radical (O 2 ˙ − ), cause vascular damage, inflammation, and trigger neoplastic cells to cell death [ 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”
