title: [The synthesis of galactopyranosyl-substituted derivatives of pheophorbide].
abstract: New pheophorbide and pyropheophorbide derivatives containing carbohydrate fragments, derivatives of galactopyranose, were synthesized. Galactopyranosylpheophorbide and galactopyranosylpyropheophorbide with free hydroxyl groups were found to be water-soluble and useful as sensitizers in photodynamic therapy of cancer.
