Axial modified phthalocyanine (BtPc), aiming at avoiding H-aggregation and utilizing long wavelength light, was designed and synthesized. With the aid of polymer nanotechnology, BtPc loaded polymeric micelles with strong singlet oxygen generating ability and enhanced photodynamic therapy efficiency were developed. Optical characterizations and in vitro evaluations proved that the BtPc loaded polymeric micelles hold great potential for photodynamic therapy.
