- Description: Cationic Zn phthalocyanine complexes were synthesized using Knoevenagel reaction starting from a Zn(II) tetrakis(2-formylphenoxy)phthalocyanine (1) to form Zn(II) tetrakis(1-butyl-4-(4-(tetraphenoxy)styryl)pyridin-1-ium) phthalocyanine (2) and Zn(II) tetrakis(4-(4-(tetraphenoxy)styryl)-1-(4-(triphenylphosphonio)butyl)pyridin-1-ium)phthalocyanine (3). The photophysicochemical behaviours of the Pc complexes were assessed. The cationic complexes display high water-solubility and gave moderate singlet oxygen quantum yield in water. The cationic Pcs demonstrate good cellular uptake and photodynamic activity against MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 8.2 and 4.9 μM for 2 and 3, respectively. The cationic Pcs also demonstrate high photoantimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli with log reductions of 5.3 and 6.0 for 2 and 3, respectively.

- Description: This work explores the synthesis, photophysicochemical properties and photodynamic activity (PDT) of tetrakis [N,N’–bis (4-(diethylamino)benzylidene) amino)propan-2-yl)oxy) phthalocyaninato] Zn (II) (3) and tetra-phenoxy N,N-dimethyl-4-((methylimino) Zn (II) (4) when the encapsulated into silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) followed by conjugation of folic acid (FA). The synthesised complexes and their doped analogues are examined for their PDT activity using MCF-7 cells. All the complexes showed dark toxicity that is >80%. The folic acid conjugates, MPc@SiNPs-FA showed greater photocytoxicity against MCF-7 cells upon irradiation with laser light.
