Methylene violet 3RAX-conjugated porphyrin for photodynamic therapy: synthesis, DNA photocleavage, and cell study

Abstract

A methylene violet 3RAX-conjugated porphyrin has been designed and synthesized as a potential photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy because of its high DNA binding constant and the efficacy in inhibiting cancer cells with subcellular localization.
