Abstract:
Two amine-terminated phthalocyanines, including mono-α-substituted zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) 4 and axially di-substituted silicon phthalocyanine (SiPc) 6, as well as their chlorambucil (CLB) conjugates (5 and 7) have been prepared. Both 4 and 6 show very high photocytotoxicities against HepG2 cells with IC50values down to 31 nM and 9 nM, respectively. However, after conjugating with CLB, the anticancer activities of both conjugates, ZnPc-CLB 5 (IC50= 0.20 μM) and SiPc-CLB 7 (IC50= 17.47 μM), are greatly reduced as a result of their lower efficiency in fluorescence emission and singlet oxygen generation in aqueous solution. Moreover, both conjugates show significantly lower cellular uptake than their precursors, 4 and 6. Synergetic chemo-photodynamic therapy could not be observed on the two conjugates. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd
