Özet

Although phthalocyanines are usually used a photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, these works focus on the directly cytotoxic effect of a new water-soluble magnesium phthalocyanine. The new water-soluble magnesium phthalocyanine 2 was synthesized, characterized and investigated for cytotoxic and apoptotic activities. The cytotoxic activities of the compound 2 were determined by using (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell viability assay on human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7), human prostate cancer cells (PC-3), and human healthy lung fibroblast cells (WI-38). The cells were plated and treated 1 to 20 mM of different concentrations of the compound. MTT assay results indicated that the compound 2 has concentration and time-dependent cytotoxic activities against cancer cells. We also observed that the compound displayed lower toxicity against WI-38 healthy cells than cancer cells at 48 and 72 h. The compound showed a significant cytotoxic activity difference between breast cancer cells and WI-38 healthy cells at 48 and 72 h. Selectivity index of the compound 2 against MCF-7 for 72 h was calculated >15.62. We also studied the apoptotic and necrotic effect of compound 2 using TUNEL and PI staining, respectively. It was found that the synthesized compound 2 increased apoptotic and necrotic cells.
