Three substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanines (one anionic, one cationic and one hydrophobic) have been compared to two clinically used photosensitisers, 5,10,15,20-tetra( m-hydroxyphenyl ) chlorin (mTHPC) and polyhaematoporphyrin ( PHP) , as potential agents for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Oxygen-con
