Isolated proteins were loaded by porphyrins (chlorin e6 derivatives and Zn- phthalocyanine) and the kinetics of pigment transfer from protein carrier to pigment-free proteins or biological membranes were analyzed by spectroscopic techniques. It was obtained that the rate of exchange depended strongly on the pigment polarity. A main trend was that the time required for equilibrium redistribution increased with decreasing dyes polarity. Its values changed from seconds for polar sensitizers to tens of minutes in the case of apolar dyes. Extremely slow redistribution (several hours) was observed when the recovery of apolar pigments (chlorin e6 trimethylester and Zn-phthalocyanine) from LDL was studied. The results clear indicate that the rate of pigment exchange between proteins and cells may contribute to the control of sensitizer distribution in blood and solid tissues.","PeriodicalId":219206,"journal":{"name":"Current Research on Laser Use in Oncology","volume":"325 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122741602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The less intensive fluorescence from a tumor of Sarcoma-45 bearing animal model in comparison with the surrounding normal tissue was observed at the spectral region around 450 nm. The influence of reabsorption, energy transfer and other physical factors on tumor fluorescence, sensitized by Photohem (hematoporphyrin derivative), disodium salt of fluorescein (FL) and chlorin e6 (Chl) was investigated. The pharmacokinetic behavior of Chl in different organs and tumors of the animal models has been estimated. The most intensive Chl fluorescence of tumor tissue was observed at 18 hours after photosensitizer injection. The maximum of the tumor-to-healthy tissue ratio of fluorescence was reached 10 at 27 hours after pigment injection. The fluorescence spectra from different types of human tumors after i/v injection with FL or topical application of ALA were studied. A simple model of Nd:YAG laser system for tumor fluorescence diagnosis has been elaborated. Advantages of the laser fluorescence diagnosis of malignant tumors by solid state multifrequency Nd:YAG laser and the increase in accuracy and specificity of this method is discussed.","PeriodicalId":219206,"journal":{"name":"Current Research on Laser Use in Oncology","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125560564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
