Based on the supramolecular approach, the conditions for the solubilization and disaggregation of phosphoryl-containing phthalocyanines and their metal complexes (I-IV) in the aqueous environment due to the formation of supramolecular ensembles are found. For the first time, zinc phthalocyaninate with phosphoryl-containing groups in the macrocycle (IV) was studied as a potential photosensitizer in various media. The supramolecular organization of Ps in solution, the singlet oxygen quantum yield Ф D IV in DMSO (0.48 ± 0.05) and an organized microheterogeneous medium based on cationic cetyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (0.54 ± 0,05) in combination with low cytotoxicity, sufficiently high phototoxicity (IC 50 dose) and the formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species in vitro upon irradiation allow one to consider phosphoryl-containing phthalo-and metallophthalocyanines as deserving of attention and further research as compounds useful for PDT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
