Redox-Responsive Nanophotosensitizer Composed of Chlorin e6-Conjugated Dextran for Photodynamic Treatment of Colon Cancer Cells
We synthesized dextran-chlorin e6 conjugates having disulfide linkage for specific targeting of colonic region and cancer cells. Reductive end group of dextran was treated with sodium borocyanohydride and conjugated with cystamine. Cystamine end group was conjugated with carboxylic acid of chlorin e...
