Phototransformations of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-induced Protoporphyrin IX in vitro: A Spectroscopic Study¶

Abstract: Human adenocarcinoma cells of the line WiDr were incubated with 5-aminolevulinic acid to induce protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and then exposed to laser light of wavelength 635 nm. The PpIX fluorescence decreased with increasing exposure. The decay rate was slightly dependent on the initial PpIX concentration. The PpIX fluorescence was halved by a fluence of about 40 J/cm 2 . Several fluorescing photoproducts were formed. The main one, supposedly the chlorin-type photoprotoporphyrin (Ppp), had a fluorescence excitat… Show more

“…Similar considerations apply to the photodegradation mechanism of mTHPC and other sensitizers such as protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). In fact, a Type‐II–mediated mechanism need not necessarily involve direct reaction with the singlet oxygen, and bleaching may result from oxidation by reactive oxidizing intermediates such as peroxy radicals formed by reaction of singlet oxygen with biological substrates, as proposed for PPIX (51). Such reactive oxygen intermediates would presumably survive longer within cells than singlet oxygen itself; therefore, this indirect singlet oxygen–mediated mechanism could be feasible and make a major contribution to mTHPC bleaching.…”

“…[166][167][168][169][170][171] The main photoproducts of porphyrin photodegradation are probably non-fluorescent. It was proposed that one pathway of photodegradation of porphyrins, such as of Hp, HpD, PpIX and mesoporphyrin, might be that the porphyrin is epoxidised at the double-bond between the ring and the methine bridge.…”

“…The obtained spectrum of the photoproducts corresponds well to the spectrum of Photoprotoporphyrin, a product of reaction of 1 O 2 with PpIX. 9,44 Besides these two principal°uorophores, another emitting species was observed in several spots in lesion of one of the MAL-treated animals (see Fig. 5 48 The subtraction of the two principal components obtained from SVD reveals another emission band of this species at 689 nm (see inset in Fig.…”
