Abstract

Photodynamic therapy is a method for treating several diseases, most notably cancer. Recent synthetic activity has created a number of phthalocyanines for potential use as photodynamic therapy photosensitizers. In this mini-review article, the background and the concepts in the development of new phthalocyanines are introduced.

Dedicated to Professors Clifford C. Leznoff and Hirofusa Shirai on the occasion of their retirement
