Abstract :
The singlet oxygen quantum yields and superoxide quantum yields for a series of novel compounds based on an asymmetrical protoporphyrin molecule have been examined. Electron spin resonance was used to measure superoxide yield and time resolved luminescence for singlet oxygen. A comparison between these results and previously published cell survival data was carried out, A broad association was found between singlet oxygen quantum yield and clonogenic cell kill.
