Novel phthalocyanines activated by dim light for mosquito larva- and cell-inactivation with inference for their potential as broad-spectrum photodynamic insecticides.

PS concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability was significant for the larvicidal phthalocyanines, PC1, PC3.4, PC14 ( Fig 5 [A] ) and porphyrin derivatives, TPPS2, TMAP ( Fig 5 [B] ), but insignificant ( Fig 5 [A] PC4) or marginally significant ( Fig 5 [B] TPPS4) for non-larvicidal PS.
