Özet
In this study, we synthesized and characterized a silicon phthalocyanine substituted with 3-hydroxypyridin-2-thione (SiPc-HDACi), designed to be a chemophotodynamic therapy agent acting as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, and we determined its photophysical, photochemical, and photobiological properties. Next, we evaluated its anticancer efficacy on MCF-7, double positive and MDA-MB-231, triple negative breast cancer cell lines, as well as on a healthy human endothelial cell line (HUVEC). Our results indicate that SiPc-HDACi can target nucleoli of cells, effectively inducing apoptosis while promoting cell cycle arrest thanks to its high singlet oxygen yield and its histone deacetylase downregulating properties, suggesting a powerful anticancer effect on breast cancer in vitro. Our further studies will be conducted with primary breast cancer cell culture to give a better insight into the anticancer mechanism of the compound.
