Synthesis and phototoxic property of tetra- and octa-glycoconjugated tetraphenylchlorins

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Dec 15;8(24):3543-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00645-3.

Abstract

New tetraphenylchlorin derivatives having four or eight glucose molecules were synthesized. Phototoxicity against the HeLa cell, singlet oxygen producing ability, and cell permeability were examined to evaluate the activity on photodynamic therapy of the compounds.
