Selective synthesis and biological activity of triazine-porphyrins as potential anti-cancer agents

Authors:

Abstract
Ten new triazine-porphyrin derivatives were synthesized using a simple one-pot procedure from the reaction of tetraphenylporphyrin bearing a hydroxyl group with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, and then with amines or alcohols. The structures of the products were characterized by 1H NMR, LC/MS, UV-vis and elemental analysis. The cytotoxic activity of the triazine-porphyrin derivatives was evaluated in vitro against MCF-7 cell. All new compounds showed similar activity against MCF-7 cells in the absence of light when compared to 5-fluorouracil and hematoporphyrin.
