The cell-based studies of 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (4-amidinophenyl) porphyrin (Por1), its Zn complex (Por2) and amidinophenyl bisporphyrin (Por3) were carried out to examine their photocytotoxicity, cellular uptake and sub-cellular localization with human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell (HK-1), using 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphyrin (H2TMPyP) as a reference. These porphyrins showed low dark-cytotoxicity and high photo-cytotoxicity against HK-1. The amphiphilic amidinophenyl bisporphyrin (Por3) displayed better cellular uptake than the single hydrophilic Por1, Por2 and H2TMPyP.
