Zn-MeO-porphyrin lipid nanovesicles for PA contrast agent. A) Photographs of Zn-MeO-chlorin acid (20%) and Zn-MeO-chlorin lipid (20%) after storage at room temperature for 10 days. Precipitation was observed in the Zn-MeO-chlorin acid sample after 10 days of storage. B) UV–vis absorption and CD spectra for 20% Zn-MeO-chlorin lipid. C) PA image of hamster cheek pouch tumor pre-injection and 5 min post-injection of the Zn-MeO-chlorin lipid nanovesicle. D) Quantitative analysis of the PA signal in the tumor site pre-injection and 5 min post-injection of the Zn-MeO-chlorin lipid nanovesicle. Permission obtained from Ref.[130].
