The synthesis, characterization and liposome insertion of a novel magnesium(II) carboranyl-porphyrazine, i.e. [2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octakis-(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranyl)-hexylthio-5,10,15,20-porphyrazine]magnesium(II) complex, MgHECSPz, are described. MgHECSPz was designed to improve the potentiality in multiple approach anticancer therapy. Liposomal formulations with different surface charge were prepared as delivering agents.
