Figure Lengend Snippet: The reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in A2780 cells treated with 20 μM 2, 2a, 4, 4a,b, 5, 5a, 6a or TPP 6 in dark conditions versus light irradiation (abbreviated PDT), as indicated by the fluorescence intensity of the samples. The following abbreviations were used: 2, 2a, 4, 4a,b, 5, 5a, 6, 6a correspond to the A2780 cells treated with the compounds, TPP 6 is the reference tetraphenylporphyrin, C the untreated control, C-PDT the untreated and photoirradiated control while 2 -PDT , 2a -PDT , 4 -PDT , 4a -PDT , 4b -PDT , 5 -PDT , 5a -PDT , 6 -PDT , 6a- PDT is the code for the samples treated and photoirradiated. The starred columns represent statistically significant increases in ROS production.
