Galactodendritic phthalocyanine targets carbohydrate-binding proteins enhancing photodynamic therapy.
Photosensitizers (PSs) are of crucial importance in the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer. Due to their high reactive oxygen species production and strong absorption in the wavelength range between 650 and 850 nm, where tissue light penetration is rather high, phthalocyanines (P...
