Suppressing singlet oxygen formation from 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin using polyion complex micelles

Suppressing the overproduction of harmful active oxygen species is very important. We report that the production of 1O2 from TPPS can be reduced upon the formation of polyion micelles with PMVP41-b-PEO205. The amount of 1O2 can be controlled successfully, which affords a new thinking of disease treatment and oxidation resistance of cells.
