Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Purpurinimides as Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy

A series of novel purpurinimides with long wavelength absorption were designed and synthesized to develop novel and potential photosensitizers. These compounds were investigated through reduction, oxidation, rearrangement reaction and amidation reactions of methyl pheophorbide a. They demonstrated a...
