Abstract: Phthalocyanines are promising photosensitizers for application in PDT. The mechanism of the therapeutic and biological effects induced by them has been the hot topic of research on PDT. Tryptophan was choosed as a target molecule which reacted with metallophthalocyanines substituted with quinolinoxy groups, to discuss the relationship between structure and photosensitive oxidation ability. The results show that photo-oxidizing ability of phthalocyanines was influenced by the central metal ion, the structure of substitutional group, the substituent position and the number of substitutional group. Phthalocyanines with closed-shell electronic structure central metallic ion, rich substituents and substituted in α position, exibit higher photosensitive oxidation ability. This study can offer some guidance for the design of new photosensitizers.

Key words: quinolinoxy, metallophthalocyanines, photosensitive oxidation, tryptophan
