Anticancer activities of a metal-free phthalocyanine on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells and singlet oxygen production as a photosensitizer in PDT
Cancer, which is often described as an uncontrollable rapid proliferation of cells, is currently the leading cause of death in the world together with cardiac disease. Therefore, the main purpose of the current research work was to study the anticancer effects of a first-time-synthesized phthalocyan...

Cancer, which is often described as an uncontrollable rapid proliferation of cells, is currently the leading cause of death in the world together with cardiac disease. Therefore, the main purpose of the current research work was to study the anticancer effects of a first-time-synthesized phthalocyanine (Pc) as photosensitizer in PDT against cancer and evaluate its effects on human cells in vitro. Quantum yields of singlet oxygen photogeneration were in air using the relative method with standard-ZnPc as reference and DPBF as chemical quencher for singlet oxygen.
