Abstract
Designed and synthesized porphyrin–globotriose hybrids effectively degraded verotoxin-1, which causes severe bloody diarrhoea and fetal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Degradation was achieved using long-wavelength UV or visible light irradiation in the absence of any additives and under neutral conditions. Moreover, the hybrids neutralized the cytotoxicity of verotoxin upon photo-irradiation.
