- Description
- We present the preparation of Schiff base substituted neutral phthalocyanines derived from aldehyde-substituted phthalocyanine which are conjugated to silver nanoparticles through covalent-like strong interactions. The photophysicochemical properties of the nanoconjugates and the Pcs alone were studied comparatively. The photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) activities. of prepared photosensitizers was investigated against Gram-positive bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus). Unlike Pcs alone, conjugated phthalocyanines to silver nanoparticles showed excellent photodynamic antimicrobial activity with the 100% reduction percentage upon illumination.
