Abstract
Metallophthalocyanines have broad range of photocatalytic and biological applications, so they have been investigated widely by the scientific community. In this study, P4P-1 and P4P-2 phthalocyanines and their water soluble derivatives (QP4P-1 and QP4P-2) were synthesized and characterized by different spectral data. Photocatalytic performance of QP4P-1 and QP4P-2 were tested on photodegradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). QP4P-1 shows remarkable photocatalytic activity with 90 % product conversion (TON:1500) in aqueous solution of 4-nitrophenol. α-amylase inhibition assay is performed in order to find out the enzyme inhibitory potential of water soluble phthalocyanine QP4P-2. QP4P-2 inhibited α-amylase 64.2 ± 0.8 % at 300 µM concentration and the IC50values of the molecule was calculated as 128.2 ± 1.5 µM. QP4P-2 reflects the potential α-amylase inhibitory activity as compared to others.
