- Description
- Spectral, photophysical, photochemical and bovine serum albumin binding studies on some gallium(III) derivatives - {1,(4)-(tetrapyridyloxyphthalocyaninato)gallium(III), (αGaPc); 2,(3)-(tetrapyridyloxyphthalocyaninato)gallium(III), (βGaPc); and their quaternized derivatives: QαGaPc and QβGaPc)} are hereby presented. β-Substituted complexes are more fluorescent, but show lower tendencies to undergo intersystem crossing than the α-substituted, as judged by their fluorescence and triplet quantum yield values. The quaternized derivatives (QGaPc) are water-soluble and non-aggregated, which makes them potential photosensitizers of choice for photodynamic therapy applications; these amphiphilic compounds also bind strongly to bovine serum albumin in 1:1 stoichiometries, and with binding constants (Kb) in the order of 106 M−1.
