PharmDr. Petr Zimcik, Ph.D. Advisor: doc. PharmDr. Veronika Novakova, Ph.D. Doctoral Thesis: Synthesis of anionic phthalocyanines as potential photodynamic active photosensitizers Phthalocyanines (Pcs) and their aza-analogues (e.g. tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines, TPyzPzs) represent a promising group of organic dyes with interesting photophysical properties (strong absorption in area 650-750 nm, strong singlet oxygen production) highly suitable for the use in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. However, they have also some drawbacks lowering their potential use in PDT (low solubility in water, strong tendency to aggregate). The topic of my dissertation thesis closely follows the topic of my diploma thesis, during which TPyzPz with sixteen carboxylate groups in rigid arrangement was prepared and in which we have disclosed strong negative effect of low pH and serum proteins on photodynamic activity. In the first part of this thesis I prepared new zinc TPyzPz with eight sulfonate groups on periphery, which was characterised by good solubility in water. Sulfonates were chosen as stronger acids than carboxylic groups, so they were...
