Photochemical internalisation (PCI) is a novel technology for release of endocytosed macromolecules into the cytosol. The technology is based on the use of photosensitizers that locate in endocytic vesicles, and that upon activation by light induce a release of macromolecules from the endocytic vesicles. PCI has been shown to stimulate delivery of a large variety of macromolecules and other molecules that do not readily penetrate the plasma membrane. The preclinical evaluation of PCI has been performed with aluminum phthalocyanine disulfonate (AlPcS2a) as photosensitizer. AlPcS2a, due to its large number of isomers potentially with batch-to-batch ratio variations, is not an optimal photosenstizer for clinical use. Disulfonated tetraphenyl chlorin (TPCS2a) has therefore been developed by di-imide reduction of disulfonated tetraphenyl porphine (TPPS2a). The synthesized TPCS2a contains 3 isomers as shown by HPLC with low (
