Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is an efficient photosensitive agent, cannot be used directly in photodynamic therapy due to its aggregation in physiological environment. If PpIX is made water-soluble without losing its photosensitive properties, it can be used in many medical fields, including cancer treatment. Here we report synthesis of PpIX homologue with mPEG550 (Porfipeg) and its photodynamic effects on both in-vitro and in-vivo environment. Porfipeg is synthesized to give PpIX the ability to dissolve in water. Spectrometric (F
