The unique ability of chlorophyll derivatives to accumulate in tumor tissues and cause a photodynamic effect under laser radiation has been successfully used in photodynamic therapy. Previous research on modified peripheral substituents in chlorophyll has shown that the presence and position of substituents in chlorin derivatives significantly affect biological activities. The synthesized MPPa derivatives with heterocyclic aromatic substituents or pyrazole moieties on the peripheral positions demonstrated photodynamic therapy effects in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
The unique ability of chlorophyll derivatives to accumulate in tumor tissues and cause a photodynamic effect under laser radiation has been successfully used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Previous research on modified peripheral substituents in chlorophyll showed that the presence and position of substituents in chlorin derivatives remarkably affect biological activities. Herein, we synthesized methyl pyropheophorbide-a (MPPa) derivatives, which are chlorophyll-a derivatives with heterocyclic aromatic substituents or pyrazole moieties on the peripheral positions. Then, we examined the PDT effects of these new derivatives in vitro and in vivo. (c) 2021 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
