Abstract:
The photophysical and photochemical properties of a newly developed photosensitizer α-(8-quinolinoxy) zinc phthalocyanine (α-(8-QLO) PcZn) were investigated for application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The maximal Q band for α-(8-QLO)PcZn in dimethylformamide around 675 nm with the molar extinction coefficient of about 1.89×105 mol-1cm -1. The fluorescence quantum and singlet oxygen (1O2) yields were determined to be 0.18±0.02 and 0.62±0.03, respectively. α-(8-QLO) PcZn has a diffuse cytoplasmic distribution in nasopharyngeal carcinoma C666-1 cells, and the efficient photodynamic cytotoxicity was observed. Our findings of this study suggest that α-(8-QLO)PcZn is a promising second-generation photosensitizer for PDT. © 2009 SPIE.
