Phthalocyanine Derivative

In this work, Zn(II) phthalocyanine derivative (TTU-Pc) bearing 13-membered tetrathia macrocycles was synthesized, and the novel Zn(II) phthalocyanine derivative was fully characterized by elemental analysis and general spectroscopic methods such as MALDI-TOF mass, FT-IR, UV-vis and [Formula: see text]H-NMR. The synthesized phthalocyanine derivative has quite limited solubility in most of the common organic solvents. Fluorescence measurement was conducted for this Zn(II)phthalocyanine to estimate its fluorescence quantum yields. The singlet oxygen generation ability was also examined to investigate its photosensitizer properties. General trends were described for quantum yields of fluorescence, photodegradation and singlet oxygen quantum yields of this compound. The electrochemical properties of the molecule were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). In addition, the lowest energy structure, the electronic structure and frontier molecular orbitals were calculated in DFT and the excitation spectrum was obtained by TDDFT calculations. We found that our computational and experimental results were in agreement.

This paper deals with a series of new unsymmetrically substituted mesoporphyrins: 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHO), 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHM), 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHP), 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-butyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TBPOHO), and their parent nonsubstituted compounds, respectively, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-butyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TBP). Several photophysical studies were carried out to access the influence of the unsymmetrical substitution at the porphyrinic macrocycle on porthyrin's photophysical properties, especially porthyrin's efficiency as singlet oxygen sensitizers. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen generation were determined in benzene (ΦΔ(TPP) = 0.66 ± 0.05;ΦΔ(TPPOHO) = 0.69 ± 0.04;ΦΔ(TPPOHM) = 0.62 ± 0.04;ΦΔ(TPPOHP) = 0.73 ± 0.03;ΦΔ(TBP) = 0.76 ± 0.03;ΦΔ(TBPOHO) = 0.73 ± 0.02) using the 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-H-porphine (ΦΔ(TPP) = 0.66) and Phenazine (ΦΔ(Phz) = 0.83) as reference compounds. Their fluorescence quantum yields were found to be (Φf(TPPOHO) = 0.10 ± 0.04;Φf(TPPOHM) = 0.09 ± 0.03;Φf(TPPOHP) = 0.13 ± 0.02;Φf(TBP) = 0.08 ± 0.03 andΦf(TBPOHO) = 0.08 ± 0.02 using 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-H-porphine as referenceΦf(TPP) = 0.13). Singlet state lifetimes were also determined in the same solvent. All the porphyrins presented very similar fluorescence lifetimes (mean values ofτS(withO2, air equilibrated) = 9.6 ± 0.3 nanoseconds and (withoutO2, argon purged) = 10.1 ± 0.6 nanoseconds, resp.). The phosphorescence emission was found to be negligible for this series of unsymmetrically substituted mesoporphyrins, but an E-type, thermally activated, delayed fluorescence process was proved to occur at room temperature.

Octasubstituted zinc tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines with four N,N-dimethylaminophenyls and four phenyl or pyridin-3-yl substituents were synthesized and fully characterized. Their fluorescence quantum yields in DMF or pyridine were very low, almost undetectable, as a consequence of ultrafast intramolecular charge transfer. Titration of their DMF solutions with sulfuric acid led to increase of the fluorescence quantum yields by two orders of magnitude when the full protonation of peripheral substituents was achieved. Intramolecular charge transfer is no longer a favorable way of excited-state relaxation at full protonation of N,N-dimethylaminophenyl substituents because of loss of donor centers (free electron pair on its nitrogen). Similarly, singlet oxygen quantum yields also increased by two orders of magnitude when sulfuric acid was added to tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine solutions in DMF. Protonation at azomethine nitrogens of tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine macrocycle was observed at higher acid concentrations and it led to considerable decrease of fluorescence quantum yields. Octaphenyl zinc tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine and octa(pyridin-3-yl) zinc tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine were used as controls without intramolecular charge transfer. Their fluorescence and singlet oxygen quantum yields were high in DMF and decreased at higher concentrations of sulfuric acid due to protonation of azomethine nitrogens. The results suggest that the photophysical and photochemical properties of studied compounds may be controlled by changes of pH of medium.

AbstractPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established therapeutic for the treatment of different diseases. The growing interest of this technique required the development of new photosensitizers with better photo-features. This work reports the study of the potential of five nature-inspired amino-based flavylium compounds with different structural features as photosensitizers towards topical PDT. In terms of dark cytotoxicity the five pigments were tested towards confluent skin cells in both fibroblasts and keratinocytes. In the range of concentrations tested (6.3–100 μM), keratinocytes were more prone to growth inhibition and the IC50 values for 5OH4′NMe2, 7NEt2st4′NMe2 and 7NEt24′NH2 were determined to be 47.3 ± 0.3 μM; 91.0 ± 0.8 μM and 29.8 ± 0.8 μM, respectively. 7NEt24′NMe2, 7NEt2st4′NMe2 and 7NEt24′NH2 showed significant fluorescence quantum yields (from 3.40 to 20.20%) and production of singlet oxygen (1O2). These latter chromophores presented IC50 values of growth inhibition of keratinocytes between 0.9 and 1.5 µM, after 10 min of photoactivation with white light. This cellular damage in keratinocyte cells upon white light activation was accompanied with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It was also found that the compounds can induce damage by either type I (ROS production) or type II (singlet oxygen) PDT mechanism, although a higher cell survival was observed in the presence of 1O2 quenchers. Overall, a structure–activity relationship could be established, ranking the most important functional groups for the photoactivation efficiency as follows: C7-diethylamino > C4′-dimethylamino > C2-styryl.

Tetra substituted peripheral and non-peripheral Zn(II) phthalocyanines were successfully synthesized employing 4-(bis(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl)phenol as a starting material. The structure of these synthesized compounds was confirmed using 1H NMR, [Formula: see text]C NMR, infrared (IR), UV-vis, and MALDI-TOF spectral data. The photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen generation) properties of all synthesized peripheral and non-peripheral compounds were investigated in order to determine the potential of these compounds for application in photodynamic therapy.

Photochemical Properties

In order to improve the efficacy of photochemical properties for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications, carboxylic acid groups axially conjugated with silicon(IV) and at the peripheral position with zinc(II) phthalocyanine skeletons for new photosensitizers to investigate the influence of the COOH group positions on the photophysicochemical performance are described in this study. Silicon (IV) (3 and 5) and zinc (II) (7) phthalocyanines were characterized by UV-vis, FTIR, 1H-NMR, MALDI-TOF MS and elemental analysis spectral data. Furthermore, the photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and fluorescence quenching studies), photochemical (photodegradation and singlet oxygen generation) and aggregation properties of the newly synthesized phthalocyanines were investigated in dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. The results were compared with that of zinc and silicon phthalocyanines. Singlet oxygen quantum yields ranged from 0.23 to 0.63 via Type II mechanism under the experimental conditions studied. The fluorescence of the phthalocyanine complexes (3, 5 and 7) is effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) in DMSO, DMF and THF.

Zinc Phthalocyanines

The effects of formation of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes on the photochemical and photophysical properties of zinc phthalocyanine ( ZnPc ) and various peripherally substituted zinc phthalocyanines as well as zinc naphthalocyanine ( ZnNPc ) are investigated. The cyclodextrins employed were the hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin and unsubstituted β-cyclodextrin. Job's plots were employed to confirm the stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes and showed 2:1 and 4:1 (cyclodextrin:phthalocyanine) inclusion behavior. The phthalocyanine inclusion complexes showed larger singlet oxygen quantum yield (ϕΔ) values when compared to the free phthalocyanines before inclusion, for complexes 1 (zinc naphthalocyanine), 2 (zinc tetranitrophthalocyanine) and 4 (zinc tetra-tert-butylphenoxyphthalocyanine). The fluorescence quantum yields generally remained unchanged following inclusion.

The synthesis, photophysical and photochemical properties of nonperipherally (α) mercaptoquinoline substituted Zn(II) , TiO(IV) and Mg(II) and quaternized Zn(II) phthalocyanines are described for the first time. These complexes (2 to 5) and their precursor are characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, electronic spectroscopy as well as mass spectroscopy. Complexes 2, 4 and 5 have good solubility in organic solvents such as CHCl3 , DCM, DMSO, DMF, THF and toluene and are not aggregated in all solvents within a wide concentration range. Complex 3 showed very good solubility in water as well as DMSO and DMF. General trends are described for singlet oxygen, photodegradation and fluorescence quantum yields of these complexes in DMSO and DMF. While complex 2 has higher singlet oxygen and fluorescence quantum yields than 3, 4 and 5, complex 4 has higher fluorescence quantum yields in DMF and DMSO than 2, 3 and 5. The effect of the solvents and metal on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of the metallophthalocyanines are also reported.

Synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanines from two different precursors 4,5-bis(tert-butylsulfanyl)phthalonitrile (A) and N-(3-azidopropyl)-2,3-dicyanoquinoxaline-6-carboxamide (B) is described. Congeners of AAAA, AAAB, ABAB and AABB type were isolated by a chromatographic technique, however, the congener of BBBB type had to be prepared in a separate reaction. The adjacent and opposite isomers were also separated and fully characterized. Isolated phthalocyanines contained different number of azide groups, a substrate for highly efficient Cu(I) -catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click chemistry"). All phthalocyanines absorbed strongly (ε over 150 000 M-1.cm-1) over 700 nm. Their singlet oxygen quantum yields were determined in DMF and ranged from 0.63 to 0.79, fluorescence quantum yields in DMF were considerably lower in the range 0.03–0.06. All these properties make them suitable building blocks for a simple modification and a synthesis of phthalocyanines with better tuned properties for photodynamic therapy.

The effects of substituents and solvents on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of zinc(II) phthalocyanines containing four Schiff’s base substituents attached directly and through phenyleneoxy-bridges on peripheral positions are reported. The group effects on peripheral position and the continual and intermittent conjugation of the phthalocyanine molecules on the photophysical and photochemical properties are also investigated. General trends are described for photodegradation, singlet oxygen, and fluorescence quantum yields of these compounds in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), and tetrahydrofurane (THF). Among the different substituents, phthalocyanines with cinnamaldimine moieties (1cand2c) have the highest singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ) and those with nitro groups (1aand2a) have the highest fluorescence quantum yields in all the solvents used. The fluorescence of the substituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes is effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) in these solvents.
