Exploring improved strategies for therapeutic studies and biological activities of novel zinc and indium phthalocyanines.

This study investigates novel zinc and indium phthalocyanines with Schiff base and sulphur moieties, focusing on their potential for cancer therapy and antimicrobial applications. It explores the effectiveness of photochemical and sono-photochemical methods to enhance singlet oxygen production, which is crucial for photodynamic therapy. The synthesized complexes in this study demonstrated high singlet oxygen quantum yields, with D3 (ZnPc) and D4 (InPc) showing values of 0.
