Formulation of chloroaluminum phthalocyanine incorporated into PS-b-PAA diblock copolymer nanomicelles

Chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (ClAlPc) is considered to be an important photosensitizer compound, and it has been extensively explored in photodynamic therapy (PDT) against several types of cancer cell lines. However, ClAlPc is known to be a highly hydrophobic compound. Thus, it requires physical association with a drug delivery system for clinical use. In this study, distinct formulations of PS70.5-b-PAA13 diblock copolymer nanostructures...
