Abstract: | Biolocalisation and photochemical properties of novel macrocyclic photosensitisers, guanidiniocarbonyl-substituted tetraphenylporphyrin (1) and sugar-substituted sapphyrin (2) were investigated by spectroscopic methods. Both photosensitisers absorb in far visible region and showed good tumour localisation. Photosensitiser 2 demonstrated significantly larger absolute and relative to normal tissue (T/N) amount in tumour (330 microg g(-1) wet tissue, T/N=19.0) than photosensitiser 1 did (13 microg g(-1) wet tissue, T/N=2.1). According to iodometric and uric acid assays, compound 1 produced large amount of 1O2 (phidelta=0.60-0.68), while compound 2 showed non-significant 1O2 production (phidelta=0.04). The electronic spectroscopic study confirms that only photosensitiser 1 is able to mediate photooxidation of model compounds (BSA, poly(Trp), Tyr, Trp, and GMP) after light irradiation. Pour photochemical activity of compound 2 was explained by its self-aggregation. Raman spectroscopic study indicated that monomerised photosensitiser 2 effectively damaged BSA and calf thymus DNA after light excitation at the conditions of high excess of these macromolecules. |
