Overview

Investigates new phthalocyanine compounds' effectiveness in enhancing oxygen production in sonophotodynamic therapy and inhibiting enzymes related to neurological disorders.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the potential of newly synthesized phthalocyanines in sonophotodynamic therapy and their inhibitory effects on specific enzymes.
  • Synthesis of sodium 6-(2,3-dicyanophenoxy)naphthalene-2-sulfonate and metallophthalocyanines
  • Investigation of singlet oxygen production under photochemical and sonophotochemical conditions
  • Evaluation of inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase and human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes using K i values
  • Molecular docking to assess binding affinities of complexes for target enzymes.
  • Zinc(II) complex shows highest singlet oxygen production under both conditions.
  • Strong inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes with K i values indicating effectiveness compared to standard inhibitors.
  • Molecular docking shows high binding affinity of In(III)-Pc for acetylcholinesterase, while Ga(III)-Pc binds preferentially to carbonic anhydrases.
