New Hydrophilic/Lipophilic Tetra-α-(4-carboxyphenoxy) Phthalocyanine Zinc-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy Inhibits the Proliferation of Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Bel-7402 Cells by Triggering Apoptosis and Arresting Cell Cycle

New Hydrophilic/Lipophilic Tetra-α-(4-carboxyphenoxy) Phthalocyanine Zinc-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy Inhibits the Proliferation of Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Bel-7402 Cells by Triggering Apoptosis and Arresting Cell Cycle

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel and promising antitumor treatment. Phthalocyanine-mediated PDT has shown antitumor activity in some tumor cells, but the effect of new hydrophilic/lipophilic tetra-α-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phthalocyanine zinc (TαPcZn)-mediated PDT (TαPcZn-PDT) on human hepatocellular...
