Abstract
New conjugate of meso-aryl-substituted porphyrin and 2-deoxy-D-glucose was synthesized via the Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition between azido-containing sugar and tetraethynyl-substituted porphyrin. The conjugate exhibits nanomolar photoinduced toxicity, namely, the IC50 for MCF7 cells is 42 nM, and the IC50 dark/IC50 light ratio is 71.
