Anticancer activity of cationic porphyrins in melanoma tumour-bearing mice and mechanistic in vitro studies

BACKGROUND: Porphyrin TMPyP4 (P4) and its C(14)H(28)-alkyl derivative (C14) are G-quadruplex binders and singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) generators. In contrast, TMPyP2 (P2) produces (1)O(2) but it is not a G-quadruplex binder. As their photosensitizing activity is currently undefined, we report in this st...
