Functionalized fluorine containing phthalocyanine molecules, methods of making, and methods of use in diagnostic applications and disease treatment are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the fluorine containing phthalocyanine molecules are functionalized with a reactive functional group or at least one cancer-targeting ligand (CTL). The CTL can facilitate more efficient binding and/or internalization to a cancer cell than to a healthy cell. The CTL can inhibit expression of oncoprotein in some embodiments. The pthalocyanine moiety can be used in diagnostic applications, such as fluorescence labeling of a cancer cell, and/or treatment applications, such as catalyzing formation of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can contribute to cell death of a cancer cell.
含
氟酰基
酞菁分子的功能化,制备方法,以及在诊断应用和疾病治疗中的使用方法在此披露。在某些实施例中,含
氟酰基
酞菁分子被功能化为具有反应性功能基团或至少一种癌症靶向
配体(CTL)。在某些实施例中,CTL可以比对健康细胞更有效地结合和/或内化到癌细胞。在某些实施例中,CTL可以抑制癌细胞上的致癌蛋白的表达。
酞菁基团可用于诊断应用,例如荧光标记癌细胞,和/或治疗应用,例如催化产生能导致癌
细胞死亡的活性氧化物种(ROS)。
