Abstract Singlet oxygen generators containing conjugated aromatic group or heavy metal atom have shown good efficacy in PDT, however, the most of materials have had limitations as therapeutic agents because of their poor biocompatibility. Herein, we introduce new type of singlet oxygen generator based on nitrogen of aliphatic polyamino glycerols (PAG), which have excellent biocompatibility. it was confirmed that nitrogen atom on backbone was the source of electron transfer owing to its paramagnetic properties and that generates radical oxygen species (O2•−, HO2, or H2O2), subsequently converted to singlet oxygen. Additionally, PAG successfully ablated cancer cells by photodynamical pathway.
