Abstract: The sulfonated phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine Zinc(ZnPcSP) is an amphiphilic photosensitizer against cancer. The characteristic absorption peak of monomer and aggregate of ZnPcSP were observed, and the effects of solution compositions on its aggregation were investigated. In 70% MeOH/H2O, 70% EtOH/H2O, 50% EtOH/H2O, 70% i-PrOH/H2O, 70% CH2OHCHOHCH3/H2O, 50% DMSO/H2O, 50% DMF/H2O(volume fraction) and CEL solutions, ZnPcSP existed in the equilibrium between monomer and dimer, the dimerization constants were 1.314×105, 8.496×104, 9.753×104, 5.583×104, 3.809×105, 4.430×103, 8.679×103 mol/L, respectively. But trimerization of ZnPcSP took place in water and saline solution, and trimerization constants were 1.296×108 and 2.236×108 mol-2·L 2 respectively. Furthermore, the effect of existence states of ZnPcSP on the activities against S180 carcinoma were estimated. The result showed that the inhibitory rate of ZnPcSP(3.1×10-6 mol/L) in CEL solution mainly existing in the form of monomer was about 8 times higher than that of ZnPcSP in saline solution mainly existing in the form of trimer.
