(TPFC)MnIII与咪唑配位形成轴向加合物后, 其中心金属Mn原子偏离平面结构, 与corrole大环N4平均平面的距离达到0.02734 nm. NBO分析显示(TPFC)MnIII和(TPFC)MnIII(Im)中心金属锰的电子组态为(dxz)1(dyz)1(dz2)1(dx2-y2)1(dxy)0. (TPFC)MnIII(Im)前线分子轨道能级明显上升, 从其β-(LUMO+3)轨道可见咪唑配位N原子的py轨道与中心金属Mn原子dyz轨道形成了d-pπ轨道.

Laser flash photolysis generation and kinetic studies of corrole-manganese(V)-oxo intermediates

Corrole-manganese(V)-oxo intermediates were produced by laser flash photolysis of the corresponding corrole-manganese(IV) chlorate complexes, and the kinetics of their decay reactions in CH2Cl2 and their reactions with organic reductants were studied. The corrole ligands studied were 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (H3TPFC), 5,10,15-triphenylcorrole (H3TPC), and 5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-10-(p-methoxyphenyl)corrole (H3BPFMC). In self-decay reactions and in reactions with substrates, the order of reactivity of (Cor)Mn(V)(O) was TPC > BPFMC > TPFC, which is inverted from that expected based on the electron-demand of the ligands. The rates of reactions of (Cor)Mn(V)(O) were dependent on the concentration of the oxidant and other manganese species, with increasing concentrations of various manganese species resulting in decreasing rates of reactions, and the apparent rate constant for reaction of (TPFC)Mn(V)(O) with triphenylamine was found to display fractional order with respect to the manganese-oxo species. The kinetic results are consistent in part with a reaction model involving disproportionation of (Cor)Mn(V)(O) to give (Cor)Mn(IV) and (Cor)Mn(VI)(O) species, the latter of which is the active oxidant. Alternatively, the results are consistent with oxidation by (Cor)Mn(V)(O) which is reversibly sequestered in non-reactive complexes by various manganese species.     

Reactivity studies of a corrole germanium hydride complex with aldehydes, olefins and alkyl halides

The tris(pentafluorophenyl) corrole germanium hydride complex (TPFC)Ge-H was prepared by the reduction of (TPFC)Ge-OCH(3) with NaBH(4). The reactivity of (TPFC)Ge-H with series of aldehydes, olefins and alkyl halides to produce α-hydroxy alkyl and alkyl complexes was studied.     

咔咯锰(Ⅲ)与锰(V)-氧配合物与含氮配体的轴向配位性质

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)的BP86方法对含氮配体咪唑、甲基咪唑、异丙基咪唑和吡啶与5,10,15-三(五氟苯基)咔咯锰[(TPFC)Mn^Ⅲ]和5,10,15-三(五氟苯基)咔咯锰氧[(TPFC)Mn^VO]的轴向配位性质进行理论研究.计算结果表明配体能与五重态下的(TPFC)Mn^Ⅲ形成有效的轴向配位作用,结合能绝对值次序为：咪唑>4-甲基咪唑>吡啶,与实验结果一致. 另外,结合能和轴向配位键长数据显示,这些配体不能与基态(单重态)或三重态(TPFC)Mn^VO中的Mn^V原子形成有效的轴向配位作用,自然键轨道(NBO)分析表明其Mn^V没有空的3d 轨道来接受配体的孤对电子,但配体可与三重态下的(TPFC)Mn^VO形成弱的配位作用.     

Photochemical and photosensitizing properties of monomeric and dimeric Sn(IV)-protoporphyrin

Sn(IV)-protoporphyrin IX (Sn-Pp) in aqueous media exists as a mixture of monomeric and dimeric species, which can be readily distinguished on the basis of their absorption maxima at around 410 and 386 nm respectively. Sn-Pp dimers prevail as the pH is decreased and are characterized by a lower fluorescence quantum yield, a larger tendency to undergo photobleaching and a reduced photosensitizing efficiency compared with the Sn-Pp monomer. The photosensitizing action of Sn-Pp appears to involve the intermediacy of singlet oxygen (1O2) as shown by photo-oxidation studies with N-acetyl-tryptophanamide in light and deuterated water solutions. Using 1,3-diphenyl-isobenzofuran as a substrate, the quantum yield of 1O2 generation by monomeric Sn-Pp was found to be about 0.6.     

Photophysical properties of sulfonated dihydroxy phosphorus(V) tetrabenzotriazacorrole

The photosensitizing properties of a novel phthalocyanine analogue, sulfonated dihydroxy phosphorus(V) tetrabenzotriazacorrole [P(OH)2TBCSn] and a non-sulfonated one [P(OH)2TBC] are reported in this paper. Different from other phthalocyanine derivatives, P(OH)2TBCSn shows little aggregation in aqueous solution. The fluorescence quantum yield (PhiF) of P(OH)2TBCSn is lower than that of the non-sulfonated one. Studies of triplet state photophysics show that the presence of peripheral substituents on the macrocycle enhances the quantum yield of the triplet state. The sulfonated derivative, P(OH)2TBCSn, has a longer triplet lifetime (tauT = 0.234 ms) and higher singlet oxygen quantum yield (PhiDelta = 0.88) than P(OH)2TBC. Together with the ground-state absorption properties, the photosensitizing properties of the new compound suggest that it may be used as an excellent photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT).     

Photophysical Properties of Tin Ethyl Etiopurpurin I (SnET2) and Tin Octaethylbenzochlorin (SnOEBC) in Solution and Bound to Albumin

Abstract— The photophysical characteristics of two second-generation PDT photosensitizers, tin ethyl etiopurpurin I (SnET₂) and tin octaethylbenzochlorin (SnOEBC), have been measured in homogeneous solution and when bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA). The ground state and triplet state absorption spectra have been characterized, as have triplet lifetimes and quantum yields for intersys-tem crossing, singlet oxygen formation and photobleaching. In total, these parameters provide a complete set of data that can be used to quantitatively compare the photosensitizing efficiencies of these molecules. The photo-bleaching quantum yield of SnET₂ is increased dramatically when it is bound to BSA, thus limiting the production of singlet oxygen at incident fluences above 1 J/cm². In contrast, the quantum yield of photobleaching of SnOEBC is at least an order of magnitude lower than that of SnET₂ under these conditions and does not significantly limit the photosensitization process for typical in vivo or in vitro fluences. This difference is expected to play a significant role in determining the relative photosensitizing ability of these compounds in vivo.     

Local photodynamic therapy with Zn(II)-phthalocyanine in an experimental model of intimal hyperplasia

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) appears to be a novel promising modality to prevent intimal hyperplasia (IH) and restenosis after angioplasty. Local PDT, that consists of local delivery of photosensitizing agents followed by intraluminal local irradiation, represents a recent advancement. This methodology requires optimization in order to achieve the best prompt outcome especially in terms of pharmacokinetics of the photosensitizing agent. We studied the pharmacokinetic properties by using the photosensitizing agent Zn(II)-phthalocyanine (ZnPc), locally released by a channeled balloon. The efficacy of local PDT in reducing IH was evaluated in an experimental rabbit model of arterial injury. The maximum accumulation of ZnPc was found at 30 min: the injured portion of the artery gave a ZnPc recovery of 1.18 micromol/mg, as compared with undetectable amounts of ZnPc in the non injured arteries; within 90 min after the local delivery, clearance of the agent was almost complete. Local PDT produced an effective reduction of IH in our vascular injury model: at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days IH and intima/media ratio (IMR) was significantly reduced as compared with balloon injured arteries. The local delivery of ZnPc showed favourable pharmacokinetic properties, that allow the performance of PDT immediately after the vascular injury. Local PDT performed in these conditions represents a promising approach to prevent IH after balloon injury. Further studies are needed to better clarify the biological response of the injured arterial wall to local PDT.     

SKIN-PHOTOSENSITIZING FUROCOUMARINS: PHOTOCHEMICAL INTERACTION BETWEEN DNA AND —O14CH3 BERGAPTEN (5-METHOXY-PSORALEN)

Abstract— For some years the mechanism of the photosensitizing effects displayed by some furocoumarins on various biological substrates (human and guinea-pig skin, bacteria cultures, mammalian cells adapted to in vitro growth, viruses) have been studied. Recently it has been pointed out that a photoreaction occurs between the photosensitizing furocoumarins and DNA after irradiation at 3655 Å. By use of a labeled furocoumarin, i.e.—O¹⁴CH₃ bergapten or 5-methoxy-psoralen, this has been confirmed and more extensively studied. During the irradiation a stable combination of the furocoumarin with native DNA takes place with a quantum yield of 5·2 × 10^-3. It is probable that the reactive sites of DNA are the pyrimidine bases. Yeast-RNA and the same DNA after heat-denaturation or in the presence of high NaCl concentration photoreact at a much reduced rate. This photoreaction may explain some various biological photosensitizing effects produced by furocoumarins.     

Red-light photosensitized cleavage of DNA by (l-lysine)(phenanthroline base)copper(II) complexes

Ternary copper(II) complexes [Cu(l-lys)B(ClO4)](ClO4)(1-4), where B is a heterocyclic base, viz. 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, 1), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, 2), dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq, 3) and dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazene (dppz, 4), are prepared and their DNA binding and photo-induced DNA cleavage activity studied (l-lys =l-lysine). Complex 2, structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, shows a square-pyramidal (4 + 1) coordination geometry in which the N,O-donor l-lysine and N,N-donor heterocyclic base bind at the basal plane and the perchlorate ligand is bonded at the elongated axial site. The crystal structure shows the presence of a pendant cationic amine moiety -(CH2)4NH3+ of l-lysine. The one-electron paramagnetic complexes display a d-d band in the range of 598-762 nm in DMF and exhibit cyclic voltammetric response due to Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple in the range of 0.07 to -0.20 V vs. SCE in DMF-Tris-HCl buffer. The complexes having phenanthroline bases display good binding propensity to the calf thymus DNA giving an order: 4 (dppz) > 3 (dpq) > 2 (phen)> 1 (bpy). Control cleavage experiments using pUC19 supercoiled DNA and distamycin suggest major groove binding for the dppz and minor groove binding for the other complexes. Complexes 2-4 show efficient DNA cleavage activity on UV (365 nm) or visible light (694 nm ruby laser) irradiation via a mechanistic pathway involving formation of singlet oxygen as the reactive species. The amino acid l-lysine bound to the metal shows photosensitizing effect at red light, while the heterocyclic bases are primarily DNA groove binders. The dpq and dppz ligands display red light-induced photosensitizing effects in copper-bound form.     

Photosensitizers derived from 132-oxo-methyl pyropheophorbide-a: enhanced effect of indium(III) as a central metal in in vitro and in vivo photosensitizing efficacy

The effects of an additional keto group on absorption wavelength and the corresponding metal complexes Zn(II), Cu(II) In(III) on singlet oxygen production and photodynamic efficacy were examined among the alkyl ether analogs of pyropheophorbide-a. For the preparation of the desired photosensitizers, the methyl 13(2)-oxo-pyropheophorbide-a obtained by reacting methyl pyropheophorbide-a with aqueous LiOH-THF was converted into a series of alkyl ether analogs. These compounds were evaluated for photophysical properties and in vitro (by means of the MTT assay and intracellular localization in RIF cells) and in vivo (in C3H mice implanted with RIF tumors) photosensitizing efficacy. Among the alkyl ether derivatives, the methyl 3-decyloxyethyl-3-devinyl-13(2)-oxo-pyropheophorbide-a was found to be most effective and the insertion of In(III) into this analog further enhanced its in vitro and in vivo photosensitizing efficacy. Fluorescence microscopy showed that, in contrast to the hexyl and dodecyl ether derivatives of HPPH (which localize in mitochondria and lysosomes, respectively), the diketo-analogs and their In(III) complexes localized in Golgi bodies. The preliminary in vitro and in vivo results suggest that, in both free-base and metalated analogs, the introduction of an additional keto group at the five-member exocyclic ring in pyropheophorbide-a diminishes its photosensitizing efficacy. This may be due to a shift in subcellular localization from mitochondria to the Golgi bodies. The further introduction of In(III) enhances photoactivity, but not by shifting the localization of the photosensitizer.

The synthesis of two tetrasubstituted zinc(II)phthalocyanines carrying four carbon-carbon linked o-carboranyl-units (40 boron atoms, 27.5% boron by weight) is presented. In an in vitro model test the new compounds showed a good photosensitizing efficiency, that encourages further studies for their evaluation as possible BNCT-PDT sensitizers.

Influence of medium polarity on the photosensitizing properties of hematoporphyrin and hematoporphyrin derivative (Photofrin II)

The influence of the polarity of the medium on the efficiency of Type I and Type II photosensitization as carried out by hematoporphyrin and its derivative Photofrin II was studied by EPR techniques. Our results suggest that porphyrin aggregates do not participate as such in the photosensitized processes. Thus, the solvent-induced breakdown of the aggregated components of Photofrin II appears to determine the photosensitizing efficiency of this porphyrin.     

Preparation and photophysical properties of halogenated silicon(IV) phthalocyanines substituted axially with poly(ethylene glycol) chains

A series of silicon(IV) phthalocyanines with two axial poly(ethylene glycol) chains SiPcX₈[(OCH₂CH₂)_nOCH₃]₂ (X=H, Cl, Br; n≈16) have been prepared of which the photosensitizing properties are enhanced as the periphery of the macrocycle is substituted with heavier halogens.     

UNUSUALLY HIGH AFFINITY OF Zn(II)-TETRADIBENZOBARRELENOOCTABUTOXY- PHTHALOCYANINE FOR LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS IN A TUMOR-BEARING MOUSE

Abstract— An important factor in determining the efficacy of photosensitizing compounds in photodynamic therapy of tumors is the level to which tumors take up the photosensitizers after systemic injection. This parameter seems to be related to the transport modalities of the photosensitizer in the bloodstream. In this work the photosensitizer Zn(II)-tetradibenzobarreleno-octabutoxyphthalocyanine was shown to have an unprecedentedly high association with low-density lipoproteins (71% of the phthalocyanine in the plasma) when delivered in Cremophor micelles to tumor-bearing mice. This was accompanied by a particularly high tumor uptake at 24 h post-injection.     

Skin-photosensitizing properties of Zn(II)-2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24)-tetrakis-(4-oxy-N-methylpiperidinyl) phthalocyanine topically administered to mice

A Zn-phthalocyanine derivative bearing four 4-oxy-N-methyl-piperidinyl peripheral substituents has been formulated in an azone-containing gel for topical administration and its potential as a photodynamic therapy agent has been investigated. The phthalocyanine displays an intense absorbance in the 680 nm range and shows a high photosensitizing activity toward a model biological substrate (N-acetyl-L-tryptophanamide). Upon administration of 20 microg cm(-2) onto the dorsal skin of Balb/c mice, maximal phthalocyanine concentrations (ca. 64.2 ng mg(-1) of skin) are reached at 1 h after the deposition. The photosensitizer appears to be localized in the epidermal layers, since (a) no detectable amounts of phthalocyanine are recovered from the mouse blood and liver; and (b) upon photoactivation with a diode laser at 675 nm, only the epidermis is heavily damaged, as shown by histological and ultrastructural analysis. The photodamage is largely of inflammatory nature and an essentially complete healing of the damaged skin is observed at 72 h after the end of the phototreatment. The minimal phototoxic dose for 20 microg cm(-2) photosensitizer and 675 nm irradiation is found to be (150 mW cm(-2)-120 J cm(-2)) or (180 mW cm(-2)-100 J cm(-2)).     

Comparison of the photosensitizing efficiencies of haematoporphyrin (HP) and its derivative (HPD) with that of free-base tetrasulphophthalocyanine (TSPC-H2) in homogeneous and microheterogeneous media

Using solutions of different polarity and various reducing (oxidizing) substrates, the type I (free radical) and type II (singlet oxygen) photosensitizing efficiencies of haematoporphyrin (HP), haematoporphyrin derivative (HPD, Photofrin II) and free-base tetrasulphophthalocyanine (TSPC-H2) were investigated. The quantum yields of 1O2-mediated oxidation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxopiperidine (TEMP) followed the order QHP greater than QHPD greater than QTSPC-H2 in all the reaction media investigated. Monomeric TSPC-H2 effectively generates O2-. as shown by spin-trapping measurements. It is probable that both HPD and TSPC-H2 can oxidize L-tryptophan (Trp) via a mixed type I and type II mechanism, depending on the polarity of the medium. Both HP and TSPC-H2 in the monomeric form can be readily photoreduced by mild electron donors (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), cysteine, sodium ascorbate, etc.). However, the reaction efficiencies differ because of the higher net negative electrical charge of TSPC-H2.     

聚(3-己基噻吩)作为光谱增感层在有机太阳电池光谱响应增强中的应用

报道了利用聚(3-己基噻吩)(P3HT)作为前置缓冲层来弥补(4,8-双-(2-乙基己氧基)-苯并[1,2-b:4,5-b']二噻吩)-(4-氟代噻并[3,4-b]噻吩(PBDT-TT-F):[6,6]-苯基-C₆₁-丁酸甲酯(PC₆₁BM)共混体相异质结(BHJ)电池对450-600 nm处光谱响应不足的新的器件结构设计思路. 光谱带隙为1.8 eV的PBDT-TT-F 在550-700 nm处有很强的光谱吸收, 在有机太阳电池器件上有很好的应用潜能. 但其在350-550 nm处的吸收不强, 影响了器件对太阳光谱的利用效率. 与此相比, P3HT薄膜的光谱吸收主要在450-600 nm范围内, 同PBDT-TT-F 形成良好的互补关系. 新设计的器件外量子效率(EQE)研究结果表明, 利用P3HT 作为前置缓冲层可以与PBDT-TT-F:PC₆₁BM薄膜中的PC₆₁BM形成平面异质结, 从而拓展了器件在450-600 nm处的光谱响应范围,实现光谱增感作用. 优化P3HT的厚度为20 nm左右, 器件对外输出的短路光电流密度从11.42 mA·cm^-2提高到12.15 mA·cm^-2, 达到了6.3%的提升.
