- Description
- The synthesis, photophysicochemical properties and photodynamic activity (PDT) of tetra-pyridyloxy (1,2) and benzothiazole (3, 4) substituted indium (III) (1,3) and zinc (2, 4) phthalocyanines (Pcs) and their incorporation into Pluronic® F127 and Pluronic L121/F127 mixed micelles (the latter for 3 and 4 only) are presented in this study. The InPcs exhibited higher singlet oxygen (ΦΔ) at 0.76 and 0.68 compared to the ZnPc’s at 0.47 and 0.44 in dimethyl sulfoxide. The ΦΔ values in the presence of Pluronic® F127 and in water, were 0.39 and 0.42 for InPcs and 0.23 and 0.37 for ZnPc. The ΦΔ values in the presence of Pluronic F127/L121 mixed micelles for complex 3 and 4 were 0.51 and 0.29 in water. The Kp was determined using the water and octanol system. InPcs had larger Kp values suggesting that they are more likely to be taken up by the cancer cells hence they showed better PDT activity
