Hypocrellin B (HB), a naturally occurring photosensitizer, has been extensively and intensively studied as a promising photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. In this work, a new Co(III) complex [Co2(HB)(tmp)4]4+(tmp = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) was designed and synthesized with HB as bridging ligand and tmp as terminal ligand. [Co2HB(tmp)4]4+exhibits improved water solubility, enhanced absorptivity in the phototherapeutic window, increased binding affinity and DNA photocleavage capability toward dsDNA with respect to HB. The photodynamic activity of [Co2(HB)(tmp)4]4+stems from its1O2photosensitization ability, in sharp contrast to [Cu2(HB)(tmp)2]2+which relies on superoxide anion radical (O2-radical dot) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) to photocleave DNA, though the both complexes possess similar electrochemical properties. The remarkable difference between the photodynamic mechanisms of [Co2(HB)(tmp)4]4+and [Cu2(HB)(tmp)2]2+was discussed in detail.
