Synthesis of axially disubstituted silicon phthalocyanines and investigation of photodynamic effects on HCT-116 colorectal cancer cell line

Photosynthesis is one of the most important natural events for life on earth. This operation includes the accumulating of solar energy and its subsequent conversion into useful chemical energy by supramolecular natural systems. These supramolecular systems absorbs the energy of photons by antenna complexes and transfers the energy to the corresponding reaction centers. Synthetic light absorber antennas are quite engaging for chemists [1,2]. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment method that is clinically approved in the treatment of cancer [3,4].
