Targeting cytochrome C oxidase in mitochondria with Pt(II)-porphyrins for photodynamic therapy
@inproceedings{Boersch2010TargetingCC, title={Targeting cytochrome C oxidase in mitochondria with Pt(II)-porphyrins for photodynamic therapy}, author={Michael Boersch}, booktitle={BiOS}, year={2010} }
Mitochondria are the power house of living cells, where the synthesis of the chemical "energy currency" adenosine triphosphate (ATP) occurs. Oxidative phosphorylation by a series of membrane protein complexes I to IV, that is, the electron transport chain, is the source of the electrochemical potential difference or proton motive force (PMF) of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The PMF is required for ATP production by complex V of the electron transport chain, i.e. by FoF1-ATP…

Targeting Mitochondria by Zn(II)N-Alkylpyridylporphyrins: The Impact of Compound Sub-Mitochondrial Partition on Cell Respiration and Overall Photodynamic Efficacy
- Biology, ChemistryPloS one
- 2014
It is found that subcellular distribution of Zn-porphyrins is directed by the nature of the substituents attached to the meso pyridyl nitrogens at the porphyrin ring, and photoinactivation of critical cellular targets explains the superior efficiency of the hexyl derivative in causing mitochondrial photodamage, and suppressing cellular respiration and survival.
