| pubmed-article:7648205 | pubmed:abstractText | The synthesis of the water soluble tetrahydroxypentaphyrin derivative, 1, is described. This species, which forms complexes with both small neutral molecules and uranyl cation, has been studied as a possible cytotoxic agent. Cytotoxic studies performed with the human T lymphoma cell line (JURKAT) revealed that pentaphyrin 1 exhibits toxicity at microM concentrations comparable with other water soluble, porphyrin-type systems such as the pyridinium metalloporphyrins. | lld:pubmed |
