Structurally Simple Cell-permeable Porphyrins: Efficient Cellular Uptake and Phototoxicity of Porphyrins with Four Peripheral Primary-amine-terminated Oligo(ethylene oxide) Chains

Abstract

A series of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins bearing four primary-amine-terminated oligo(ethylene oxide) chains have been synthesized from meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin. All the porphyrins with...
