Abstract
An original synthesis of methyl ester of 131-thioketone pyropheophorbide A containing a gold(I) complex at the periphery of the macrocycle (at the E exocycle) via the formation of an S–Au bond is performed. The stability of this complex in aqueous solutions at various pH values as well as the effectiveness of its binding to DNA are evidenced.
