Abstract

Recently, development of new photosensitizing agents for the potential application in photodynamic therapy has gain considerable attention. Porphyrin a highly conjugated macrocyclic organic system with high molar absorption coefficient is considered suitable candidate for development of new photosensitizing agent. Therefore, a novel Azido-β-D-lactosylated zinc (II) tetraphenyl porphyrin was synthesized by four reactions steps. The molecular structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The water solubility properties of target compound were studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy in mixed water/DMSO mixed solvent system with different range of water contents. The water content in DMSO ranges from 10% to 100% (v/v). When the water contents increase to 20% intensity of the Soret band gradually decreases with an increasing water-content up to 100% attributed to the solubility of the compound in water. The water solubiliy properties of the porphyrin carbohydrate conjugate enhances its potential application in photodynamic therapy.
