- Description
- A novel asymmetrical zinc(II) 2(3)-mono-2-(4-oxy)phenoxy)acetic acid phthalocyanine (complex 1) was synthesized and subsequently linked to cysteamine capped silver (AgNPs) and silver–gold (AgAuNPs) nanoparticles (NPs) via amide bonds. The photophysicochemical properties and in vitro photodynamic therapy activity of complex 1 and its nanoconjugates were investigated. The nanoconjugates showed improved photophysical properties compared to complex 1 alone. The fluorescence, triplet and singlet quantum yields of complex 1 were found to be 20%, 48%, and 43% respectively. Complex 1 showed in vitro dark cytotoxicity, but the dark toxicity was reduced for the combination of complex 1 with AgAuNPs, this combination also gave the best photodynamic therapy activity when compared to complex 1 and its conjugate with AgNPs without AuNPs.
