Synthesis of tetrasubstituted Zn(II)-phthalocyanines carrying four carboranyl-units as potential BNCT and PDT agents
The synthesis of two tetrasubstituted zinc(II)phthalocyanines carrying four carbon-carbon linked o-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
Synthesis and antimycotic activity of new unsymmetrical substituted zinc phthalocyanines
The synthesis of new unsymmetrical substituted zinc phthalocyanines derivatives has been described; moreover the photodynamic activity of some compounds tested against Candida albicans has been reported.
