Effects of central metals on sugar decorated tetrakis-(4-methylthiophenyl) porphyrin considered for use in photodynamic therapy
This study focuses on the synthesis of sugar decorated porphyrins and their gold nanoparticle conjugates as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Linking the sugar to the porphyrins imparted water solubility to the latter. The conjugation to sugar molecules enhanced the singlet oxygen qua...
