The present invention provides various novel covalently modified sapphyrin derivatives and conjugates; polymers including sapphyrin or derivatives thereof; and chromatographic supports including sapphyrins and other expanded ...

" The present invention involves a novel tripyrrole dimethine-derived ""expanded porphyrin"" (texaphyrin), the synthesis of such compounds, their analogs or derivatives and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles ...

Sapphyrins are provided having appended functional groups that render the sapphyrin water-soluble. Such water-soluble sapphyrins are useful for photodynamic therapy, for example.

Texaphyrins substituted with imidazda are provided.

The invention is directed to a method of incorporating expanded porphyrins, and particularly of incorporating a sapphyrin or a texaphyrin, before, during, or after chemical synthesis of an oligomer to form an expanded ...

Texaphyrins are provided for use as radiation sensitizers. Advantageous properties of texaphyrins for use as a radiation sensitizer include: i) a low redox potential which allows radiation-induced hydrated electrons to ...
