Receptor-Targeting Phthalocyanine Photosensitizer for Improving Antitumor Photocytotoxicity
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic modality which uses a photosensitizer to capture visible light resulting in phototoxicity in the irradiated region. PDT has been used in a number of pathological indications, including tumor. A key desirable feature of the photosensitizer is the high phototoxicity on tumor cells but not on normal cells. In this study, we conjugate a gonadotr...
متن کاملSulfonated Polyethylenimine for Photosensitizer Conjugation and Targeting.
Polysulfonated macromolecules are known to bind selectins, adhesion membrane proteins which are broadly implicated in inflammation. Commercially available branched polyethylenimine (PEI) was reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to generate sulfonated PEI with varying degrees of sulfonation. Remaining unreacted amine groups were then used for straightforward conjugation with pyropheophoribide-a, a n...
متن کاملZinc phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (ZnPcS4): a new photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy in choroidal neovascularization.
PURPOSE The aim of this sutdy was to demonstrate the selective localization of a new photosensitizer, zinc phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (ZnPcS(4)), in rat eyes and investigate the ability of ZnPcS(4) to produce a photochemical closure of experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV) upon irradiation with a 670-nm laser light. METHODS To determine the biodistribution of ZnPcS(4) and the opt...
متن کاملSulfonated 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 cell...
متن کاملTargeting cells that overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor with polyethylene glycolated BPD verteporfin photosensitizer immunoconjugates.
Photoimmunotherapy was introduced two decades ago but has been studied infrequently in vivo and is virtually untested clinically. Progress has been limited because high-quality, well-characterized photosensitizer immunoconjugates (PICs) have been difficult to make. Here, we describe the development of an innovative conjugation method for producing water-soluble PICs that are free of insoluble a...
