These compounds were composed of either one polyamine unit (spermidine or spermine) covalently tethered to monocarboxyphenyl tritolylporphyrin or two molecules of polyamines borne by protoporphyrin IX. In each compound, an aliphatic spacer arm is linked to the N(4) polyamine position. Photocytotoxicity of these new compounds was evaluated against K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells and compared to Photofrin II; protoporphyrin IX polyamine conjugates exhibited much stronger photocytocicity than Photofrin II and were shown to readily induce necrosis in treated cells. %G English %L hal-00684447 %U https://unilim.hal.science/hal-00684447 %~ UNILIM %~ UPMC %~ CNRS %~ LCSN %~ GEIST %~ INC-CNRS %~ PEIRENE %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ SU-SCI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ OMEGAHEALTH %~ TEST2-HALCNRS %~ LABCIS
