Abstract

Two-photon photodynamic therapy is a promising therapeutic method which requires the development of sensitizers with efficient two-photon absorption and singlet-oxygen generation. Reported here are two new diketopyrrolopyrrole-porphyrin conjugates as robust two-photon absorbing dyes with high two-photon absorption cross-sections within the therapeutic window. Furthermore, for the first time the singlet-oxygen generation efficiency of diketopyrrolopyrrole-containing systems is investigated. A preliminary study on cell culture showed efficient two-photon induced phototoxicity.
