Monoglycoconjugated phthalocyanines: effect of sugar and linkage on photodynamic activity.

BACKGROUND Click chemistry can be advantageously used to graft carbohydrates on phthalocyanines which are potent photosensitisers, but the effect of the presence of triazole moieties on photodynamic efficiency was not investigated systematically to date. The nature and linkage of the sugar were investigated in order to define structure-activity relationships. METHOD Two sets of monoglycoconjugated water-soluble phthalocyanines have been designed and their photodynamic activity and uptake investigated in HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Carbohydrates: galactose, mannose or lactose were grafted onto Zn(II) phthalocyanines either by glycosylation or by click reaction. RESULTS The triazole linkage formed by click conjugation lowered the biological efficiency for mannose and galactose, compared to classical glycosylation grafting. The mannose conjugate formed by glycosylation was the most photodynamically active, without correlation with the photosensitiser cell uptake.
