THE SYNTHESIS OF DIHEMATOPORPHYRIN ETHER AND RELATED PORPHYRIN DIMERS
Morris, Ian K.,Ward, A. David
, p. 2501 - 2504 (1988)
Dihematoporphyrin ether (DHE) has been synthesised by two separate procedures; these routes also allow the synthesis of ether linked porphyrin dimers containing one or two vinyl groups rather than hydroxyethyl side chains.The latter dimers, but not DHE, have anti-cancer activity.
Synthesis of ether- and carbon-linked polycarboranyl porphyrin dimers for cancer therapies

Porphyrin dimers bearing multiple carborane cages for potential use as sensitizers in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) were synthesized from protoporphyrin dimethyl ester and characterized. Diastereomeric ether-linked di
