Journal Article
Tuncel, S., Dumoulin, F., Gailer, J., Sooriyaarachchi, M., Atilla, D., Durmuş, M., …Ahsen, V. (2011). A set of highly water-soluble tetraethyleneglycol-substituted Zn(ii) phthalocyanines: synthesis, photochemical and photophysical properties, interaction with plasma proteins and in vitro phototoxicity. Dalton Transactions : an international journal of inorganic chemistry, 40(16), 4067-4079. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0dt01260b

Three Zn(II) phthalocyanines substituted by hydroxyl-terminated tetraethylene glycol chains have been synthesized. In order to evaluate the potential of these highly water-soluble phthalocyanines as type II-photosensitisers for photodynamic therapy,...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have for some time been implicated in the onset and progression of medical conditions including cancer, ageing, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. Recently, it has been postulated that ROS play a much more subtle rol... Read More about Porphyrin-nanosensor conjugates.

Site-specific and stoichiometric conjugation of cationic porphyrins to antiangiogenic monoclonal antibodies (2010)
Journal Article
Alonso, C. M. A., Palumbo, A., Bullous, A. J., Pretto, F., Neri, D., & Boyle, R. W. (2010). Site-specific and stoichiometric conjugation of cationic porphyrins to antiangiogenic monoclonal antibodies. Bioconjugate chemistry, 21(2), 302-313. https://doi.org/10.1021/bc9003537

Synthesis of three new cationic thiol-reactive maleimide-porphyrin derivatives and their use in site-specific conjugation to monoclonal antibodies is reported. The selective reactivity toward thiols is demonstrated using competition experiments, wher...
