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.
