Abstract
Disclosed herein are phthalocyanine dyes, and conjugates thereof, useful as fluorescent reporters for bioassays, for optical imaging and as therapeutic conjugates as the photosensitizing agents in light-based therapies including photoimmuno therapy (PIT). Certain phthalocyanine dyes disclosed herein are water soluble, and possess photophysical and photochemical profiles useful for use in imaging or therapy.
