BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES—IV. TYPE II SENSITIZED PHOTOOXIDATION OF L-TRYPTOPHAN AND CHOLESTEROL BY SULFONATED METALLO PHTHALOCYANINES

Abstract— Sulfonated phthalocyanine and a series of its metal chelates in combination with red light irradiation led to the degradation of L-tryptophan in oxygenated aqueous solution. The photoproducts and the rate of transformation of L-tryptophan are compared with hematoporphyrin and rose bengal sensitized photooxidation. In all cases the primary photoproducts are characterized as cis and trans -3a-hydroperoxy-l,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole-2-carboxylic acid. Support for the involvement of singlet excited oxygen is obtained from azide inhibition and the formation of the specific singlet oxygen product with cholesterol. We observed the contribution of another pathway in the case of the manganese complex.     

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES—VIII. CELLULAR DISTRIBUTION INV–79 CHINESE HAMSTER CELLS AND PHOTOTOXICITY OF SELECTIVELY SULFONATED ALUMINUM PHTHALOCYANINES

Abstract— Water soluble chloro aluminum phthalocyanines sulfonated to different degrees are studied for phototoxicity and cellular distribution inV–79 Chinese hamster cells. The more hydrophobic disulfonated dyes, with sulfonate substituents on adjacent benzyl groups of the phthalocyanine ring structure, exhibited the best cell penetrating properties and the highest phototoxicity. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the dye was uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm but absent in the nucleus. The greater cell membrane penetrating properties of the lower as compared to the higher sulfonated dyes are attributed to the amphiphilic nature of the former.     

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES–VII. PHOTOINACTIVATION OF V-79 CHINESE HAMSTER CELLS BY SELECTIVELY SULFONATED GALLIUM PHTHALOCYANINES

Abstract Gallium chloride phthalocyanines sulfonated to different degrees were tested for their ability to inactivate V-79 Chinese hamster cells in the presence of red light. The mono- and disulfonated compounds were the most active whereas the tri- and tetrasulfonated complexes were completely void of photoactivity. In addition, large variations in photoactivity were observed among the four isomeric disulfonated derivatives with the most hydrophobic isomer exhibiting the highest photoactivity. Prolonged exposure to the disulfonated complex resulted in increased photosensitization. Complexing the dye with Al instead of Ga resulted in a slightly increased photosensitizing effect.     

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES—VI. PHOTOOXIDATION OF L-TRYPTOPHAN BY SELECTIVELY SULFONATED GALLIUM PHTHALOCYANINES: SINGLET OXYGEN YIELDS AND EFFECT OF AGGREGATION

Abstract— The photosensitized oxidation of L-tryptophan by gallium phthalocyanines sulfonated to different degrees is studied as a function of both substrate and sensitizer concentrations in water and 50% MeOH-H₂O solutions. The maximum quantum yield of singlet oxygen was found to be nearly 0.5 for all sulfonated gallium complexes. The effect of adding sulfonate groups in the phthalocyanine backbone is to change the tendency of dye molecules to dimerize or aggregate in a particular solvent. A shift in the chemical equilibrium away from the monomeric state, which occurs at high dye concentrations and at lower degrees of dye sulfonation, results in a reduced photochemical yield. The variation of quantum yields in different solvent systems and at several wavelengths is similarly accounted for by the fraction of light absorbed by the productive monomer state.     

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES-IX. PHOTOSENSITIZATION OFV–79 CHINESE HAMSTER CELLS ANDEMT–6 MOUSE MAMMARY TUMOR BY SELECTIVELY SULFONATED ZINC PHTHALOCYANINES

Abstract— Zinc phthalocyanines sulfonated to different degrees are tested for their ability to sensitizeV–79 Chinese hamster cells andEMT–6 mouse mammary tumors to red light. In vitro , the lower sulfonated derivatives were the most active with the exception of the poorly water-soluble monosulfonated dye. An isomeric mixture of tetrasulfonated derivatives obtained via direct sulfonation was ten times more active than the homogeneous tetrasulfo derivative prepared via the condensation of sulfophthalic acid. In vivo , the latter dye was completely inactive, whereas the remainder of the sulfonated preparations exhibited a similar structure-activity pattern as observed with theV–79 cells in vitro . The disulfonated zinc phthalocyanine showed the best tumoricidal activity in the series and also appeared to be a more efficient photosensitizer of cell inactivation and tumor cure than the aluminum or gallium complexes as well as hematoporphyrin derivative preparations. No significant differences in skin phototoxicity were observed among the various dyes.

SYNTHESES AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF 1,2,4-TRIAZOLO-[3,4-B][1,3,4]THIADIAZOLE DITHIOPHOSPHATES

In this article, we incorporated the organic phosphorus group on to a triazolothiadiazole ring to prepare the title compounds fused 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole heterocyclic compounds. From the results on biological activities, we found that most compounds showed weak activities, and thus the structures need to be further optimized for improved activity.     

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES. XIII. THE EFFECTS OF HUMAN SERUM COMPONENTS ON THE in vitro UPTAKE AND PHOTODYNAMIC ACTIVITY OF ZINC PHTHALOCYANINE

Abstract— The effect of human serum components on the photodynamic activity of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) toward Chinese hamster fibroblasts (lineV–79) was studied. Photodynamic activities were correlated with cellular uptake of radiolabeled [⁶⁵Zn]ZnPc, which allowed corrections to be made for the amount of sensitizer present in the cells at the time of irradiation and to express photodynamic efficiences on a cellular dye concentration basis. All serum components, with the exception of high-density lipoproteins, inhibit uptake of ZnPc byV–79 cells, when compared to incubation of ZnPc with the same cells in serum-free medium. High-density lipoproteins increased ZnPc uptake by 23%, but the photodynamic efficiency corrected for the cellular ZnPc concentration was unaffected. Very low-density lipoprotein and globulins decreased ZnPc cell uptake but likewise did not affect the cellular photodynamic efficiency of the dye. In contrast low-density lipoprotein and albumin, while inhibiting ZnPc cell uptake, increased the cellular photodynamic efficiency of ZnPc, suggesting that these proteins facilitate localization of the dye at cellular targers sensitive to photodynamic damage and vital to cell survival. We conclude from these results that association of ZnPc with serum components can have important, and widely differing, effects on both degree of uptake and cellular distribution of the photosensitizer.     

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PHTHALOCYANINES-XL PHOTOTOXICITY OF SULFONATED ALUMINUM NAPHTHALOCYANINES TOWARDS V-79 CHINESE HAMSTER CELLS

The phototoxicity of sulfonated aluminum naphthalocyanines towards V-79 Chinese hamster cells is investigated. The disulfonated naphthalocyanine exhibits similar photostability, but better cell penetrating properties than the tetrasulfonated dyes. The capacity of the naphthalocyanines to generate singlet oxygen is comparable to that of the corresponding phthalocyanines. However, in contrast to the phthalocyanine dyes, the sulfonated aluminum naphthalocyanines show very little phototoxicity towards the V-79 cells, suggesting close association with non-vital cell constituents or extensive formation of photoinactive adducts and aggregates.

A COMPARISON OF DIRECI AND LIPOSOMAL ANTIBODY CONJUGATES OF SULFONATED ALUMINUM PHTHALOCYANINES FOR SELECTIVE PHOTOIMMUNOTHERAPY OF HUMAN BLADDER CARCINOMA

Abstract There is a need to improve the selectivity of photodynamic therapy and for better targeting of tumor cells within specific tumor compartments. Selective in vitro phototoxicity of a human bladder carcinoma cell line 647V has been achieved by targeting sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanines (AlSPc) with monoclonal antibodies. Aluminum tetra-3 sulfonyl chloride phthalocyanine (PC) or rhodamine sulfonyl chloride were directly coupled to antibodies by a sulfonamide linkage and AlSPc or carboxyfluorescein were encapsulated in liposomes of the small unilamellar vesicle type (SUV) bearing antibody. Antibody E7 (IgM subclass), which recognized an antigenic determinant expressed on 647V but was absent on T24 a control human bladder carcinoma cell line, and a control IgM antibody were used. The effects of the two types of conjugate were compared. Immunofluorescence studies on living cells demonstrated specific cell surface localization of conjugates at 4°C and internalization at 37°C. Phototoxicity was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2–5-diphenyltetrazolium) bromide assay after exposing A1SPc-sensitized cells to red light. Significant AlSPc dose-dependent phototoxicity of the order 4°C < 4°C plus 37°C < 37°C was observed with E7-SUV and E7-PC in the range 1–8 μM AlSPc. At equimolar AlSPc doses absolute toxicity was similar for the two conjugate types, but at equimolar antibody doses, the liposomal conjugate was more effective by up to 13-fold. Addition of urine during illumination decreased toxicity, which was attributed to the presence of protective elements. The results suggest that photosensitizers such as AlSPc could be used for antibody-directed therapy and in particular for selectively damaging tumor cells of the epithelial cell compartment in bladder carcinoma by intrabladder administration. The therapeutic ratio, which takes into account both specific and nonspecific toxicity, was greater for the liposome conjugate than for the direct conjugate indicating their greater suitability for in vivo instillation.     

EVALUATION OF SULFONATED ALUMINUM PHTHALOCYANINES FOR USE IN PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY. A STUDY ON THE RELATIVE EFFICIENCIES OF PHOTOINACTIVATION

The cellular photosensitivity caused by aluminum phthalocyanines sulfonated to different degrees (AlPcSn) has been investigated. The phototoxic effect increased with decreasing number of sulfonate groups on the macrocycle, with the exception of AlPcS1 which was less phototoxic than AlPcS2 but more phototoxic than AlPcS3 and AlPcS4. The tendency of the AlPcSns to aggregate in our cellular system increased with increasing lipophilicity of the sensitizers. The aggregates had little or no photosensitizing activity. The low efficiency of cell inactivation caused by AlPcS1 can be explained by the highly aggregated state of this sensitizer in the cells. AlPcS2 and AlPcS3 induced a lower degree of cell inactivation per fluorescing quantum and per quantum absorbed by monomeric species than did AlPcS2 and AlPcS1. AlPcS4 and AlPcS3 are therefore suggested to be in different intracellular locations than AlPcS2 and AlPcS1.     

SYNTHESIS AND DETERMINATION OF THE BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF YEAST ALANINE tRNA ANALOGUES

The role of base modification in yeast tRNAAl(?) function in protein synthesis was examined by the use of unmodified tRNA analogues. Unmodified full length tRNAs, 5'-half tRNAs (nucleotides 1-35) and 3'-half tRNAs (nucleotides 37-75) were transcribed in vitro using T7-RNA polymerase. Unmodified tRNA half molecules were joined to normally modified half molecules (5'-half, nucleotides 1-36; 3'-half, nucleotides 36-75) by T4-RNA ligase. Using this method, we synthesized three analogues of yeast tRNAAl(?): (i) tRNAAl(?) which lacks base modifications in the 5'-half of the molecule; (ii) tRNAAl(?) which lacks base modifications in the 3'-half of the molecule; and (iii) tRNAAla completely lacking base modifications. We determined the biological activities of these analogues. In rat aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase reactions, the alanine acceptance activity decreased by 52%, 79% and 85% when modified bases were absent from the 5'-half molecule, the 3'-half molecule or the total molecule, respectively.

SULFONATED PHTHALIMIDOMETHYL ALUMINUM PHTHALOCYANINE: THE EFFECT OF HYDROPHOBIC SUBSTITUENTS ON THE in vitro PHOTOTOXICITY OF PHTHALOCYANINES

The photocytotoxicity of sulfonated phthalimidomethyl aluminum phthalocyanine, a more hydrophobic photosensitizer as compared to phthalocyanine substituted with sulfonate groups only, was investigated. Inclusion of 1-2 phthalimidomethyl groups into disulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine, resulted in increased partition coefficients between n-octanol and water, and a six-fold increase in both cellular uptake and photocytotoxicity towards Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells (line V-79). Reducing the number of phthalimidomethyl groups, or increasing the degree of sulfonation, lead to a decrease in the partition coefficient, cellular uptake, and phototoxicity. The quantum yield of singlet oxygen was comparable for all dyes tested in this series, indicating that no significant change in this photophysical parameter resulted from phthalimidomethylation. These results suggest that the addition of 1-2 phthalimidomethyl groups to disulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine improves cellular uptake, but, as the relative efficiency of cell killing was not effected, the intracellular distribution on photosensitive molecules may not be modified.
