The findings from this work show the importance of incorporating photosensitizers such as phthalocyanines into Pluronic polymers micelles and making them water soluble and ultimately improving their photodynamic effect.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 14:58:28 SAST ]]> Physicochemical properties and photodynamic therapy activities of indium and zinc phthalocyanine-nanoparticle conjugates https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30589 50Îll viability at concentrations≤ 160μg/mL, however the conjugates showed<50% cell viabilityatconcentrations≤ 160μg/mLprobably due to the enhanced singlet oxygen quantum yield.
