The objective of this study was to develop a mitochondria-targeted photosensitizer (PS) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, a porphyrin-derivative photosensitizer, pheophorbide-a (PheoA), was conjugated to carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium (TPP) via a carbodiimide linkage to enhance mitochondrial targeting and TPP-PheoA conjugate was further
