Glycosyl bis-porphyrin conjugates: synthesis and potential application in PDT

Bioorg Med Chem. 2006 Dec 1;14(23):7745-60. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2006.08.004. Epub 2006 Sep 7.

Abstract

Syntheses of new glycosylated neutral and cationic porphyrin dimers linked at the meso-position via a flexible hydrocarbon chain are described. A detailed 1H and 13C NMR study allows their complete structural elucidation. The UV-visible, fluorescence and MALDI mass spectra are also presented. Photocytotoxicities of these compounds against K562 leukaemia cell line are compared to those of Photofrin II.
