Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on exposing a light-sensitive material that has been localized in target tissues with visible light. In the current study, symmetric Zn(II) octaoctadodecylphthalocyanine (1) and the asymmetrically substituted hydroxyhexyloxy derivative (2) were examined as a multifunctional agent for tumour nuclear imaging and for PDT potential. Zn(II)Pc 1 and Zn(II)Pc 2 were radiolabelled with I-131 using an iodogen method with high efficiency (93.5 +/- 3.5% and 93.0 +/- 2.8%, respectively) under the optimum conditions. Biodistribution study results showed that radiolabelled Zn(II)Pc 1 had a high uptake in the large intestine and unchanging uptake in the ovary. However, radiolabelled Zn(II)Pc 2 uptake was statically significant in the large intestine, pancreas, ovary and lung. For the PDT studies, EMT6/P (mouse mammary cell line) and HeLa (cervical adenocarcinoma cell line) with Zn(II)Pc 1 and Zn(II)Pc 2 were exposed to red light (650nm) at 10-30J/cm(2). Zn(II)Pc 1 and Zn(II)Pc 2 had a good PDT efficacy in the EMT6/P cell line. In conclusion, radiolabelled Zn(II)Pc 1 might be a promising imaging agent for pancreas, ovary and colon tumours. However, the radiolabelled Zn(II)Pc 2 might be a promising nuclear imaging and PDT agent for colon, lung, pancreas and ovary tumours.
