Synthesis of tetrasubstituted Zn(II)-phthalocyanines carrying four carboranyl-units as potential BNCT and PDT agents
摘要:
The synthesis of two tetrasubstituted zinc(II)phthalocyanines carrying four carbon-carbon linked nu-carboranyl-units (40 boron atoms, 27.5% boron by weight) is presented. In an in vitro model test the new compounds showed a good photosensitizing efficiency, that encourages further studies for their evaluation as possible BNCT-PDT sensitizers. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
