Key Points

Cationic porphyrins exhibit enhanced phototoxicity against cancer cell lines, indicating their potential in treatment.
The study identifies tetracationic porphyrins that may improve outcomes in G4-targeting photodynamic therapy.
These findings support the use of porphyrins in developing more effective cancer therapies.
Exploration of their binding properties could lead to innovative applications in cancer treatment.

Implication

Porphyrins show improved phototoxicity in cancer cell lines, suggesting potential for effective G4-targeting photodynamic therapy.

Abstract

Porphyrins are well-known photosensitizers (PSs), a few of which are clinically approved drugs for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Porphyrin derivatives include tetra-cationic porphyrins, e.g. TMPyP4, are also well-studied binders...
