Examples of metalloporphyrin nanoparticle preparation. A) Solvent mixing to form polymeric metalloporphyrin nanoparticles. B) Grafting metalloporphyrins to existing nanoparticle via either covalent binding or chelation. C) Liposomal formulation of metalloporphyrins; hydrophilic and hydrophobic metalloporphyrin are encapsulated in the liposome core or within the lipid bilayer, respectively. D) Structures of different types of metalloporphyrin dendrimers. Metalloporphyrins can occupy the cores, branch nodes, terminal nodes or all nodes.
