In an effort to develop effective new optical contrast agents, we report the synthesis of porphyrazines (pzs) of the form H-2[pz(A(4-n);C-n)], n = 1, and 2 (trans-), where "A" represents peripheral heteroatom (S- and O-) R-groups and "C" is a fused, beta,beta'-diisopropyloxynaphtho group. The sulfide appended trans-H-2[pz(A(2);C-2)] pz (7) has the longest wavelength absorption, similar to 874 nm (log epsilon = 4.53), and S-1 fluorescence at similar to 927 nm, wavelengths within the window of maximum tissue penetration. Emission from the oxygen-atom appended naphtho-pzs (8, 9) has been observed within carcinoma cells, confirming cellular uptake and their potential use as optical agents.
