Synthesis of chitosan grafted with aminomethyl zinc phthalocyanine for photodynamic therapy

This paper reports the synthesis of a substituted aminomethyl zinc phthalocyanine (AmPcZn) and its covalent grafting onto chitosan via an ethyl chloroformate-mediated reaction. Chitosan-based copolymers containing 10%, 20%, 30%, and 60% (w/w) AmPcZn were successfully obtained. The chemical structure...
