Porphyrin–ferrocene conjugates for photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy
Literature Information
Xiaoyu Zhang, Shi Liu, Zhigang Xie
Chemodynamic therapy can convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at tumor localization into the toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) destroying tumor cells. Photodynamic therapy as a noninvasive method utilizes photosensitizers (PSs) to convert O2 into cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (e.g., 1O2) upon laser irradiation, which is dependent on the content of oxygen. The combination of the two therapeutic strategies on a single platform can enhance the anticancer effect. Herein, we report a porphyrin–ferrocene theranostic agent for combined photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy. Compared to monotherapy, the as-prepared porphyrin–ferrocene conjugates exhibit superior efficiency and potency in killing cancer cells at low drug doses. This study suggests the rational design of molecular structures as multifunctional therapeutics for potential clinic application.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
