Abstract
A novel polymeric nanoparticle was developed between the negatively charged dendrimer phthalocyanine and positively triblock copolymer for the use as an effective photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy. The intracellular uptake of dendrimer phthalocyanines in HeLa cell was significantly enhanced by encapsulated into nanoparticles. The photocytotoxicity of dendrimer phthalocyanines incorporated into polymeric micelles was also increased. The presence of nanoparticles located induced efficient cell death.
