“…[14,15] Conjugates of porphyrins with carboranes are potential agents for use in PDT and BNCT. To continue our ongoing efforts on porphyrin functionalization, [16] we present herein the synthesis of sulphonamide substituted boronated porphyrins based on reactions of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin with mercapto carboranes. The sulfonamide functional groups can be found in a variety of drugs which show broad spectrum of pharmacological activity such as antitumor, [17,18] anti-HIV, [19] antitubercular, [20] antimicrobial, [21] antileukemic, [22] anticonvulsant and analgesic.…”
