Abstract: Phthalocyanine sulfonates (H2SPC). chlorogallium phthalocyanine (CaClSPC) and chlor-oaluminum phthalocyanine (A1C1SPC) have been synthesized and their sensitized photooxid-ation of cholesterol and L-cysteine have been studied. Both aggregation of dyes and pH value of the solution affect the reaction rate. The results of enhancement of photooxidation rate observed when D2O was used as the solvent and the quenching effect of NaN2 indicate that sensitized photooxidation proceeds mainly via Type Ⅱ mechanism (involving singlet oxygen 2O2).

Key words: Phthalocyanine, sensitized photooxidization, cholesterol, L-cysteine, photo-dynamic therapy
