Could the Length of the Alkyl Chain Affect the Photodynamic Activity of 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(1-alkylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrins?

Could the Length of the Alkyl Chain Affect the Photodynamic Activity of 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(1-alkylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrins?

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses the combination of a photosensitizing agent (PS) and light to selectively target solid tumors, as well as several non-neoplastic proliferating cell diseases. After systemic administration, PSs are activated by localized irradiati...
