Abstract
Bacteriochlorins and bacteriopurpurins useful for photodynamic therapy and methods for their manufacture are described herein. Methods for producing the claimed compounds include contacting meso-diacrylate porphyrin precursors with a solvent and a base catalyst at sufficient temperature and time to yield the desired conversion. Reduced bacteriochlorins can be produced by contacting unsaturated bacteriochlorins or bacteriopurpurins with a hydrogenation catalyst and hydrogen. These methods provide new routes for synthesizing bacteriochlorins and bacteriopurpurins from symmetrical and asymmetrical meso-diacrylate porphyrins.
