چکیده

The spectroscopic observation of 1268-nm emission of singlet oxygen photosensitized by tetracyclines in oxygenated solutions at room temperature is reported. In the series demeclocycline, tetracycline, and minocycline, the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation is found to parallel the clinical observation of relative frequency of phototoxicity of these antibiotics, suggesting singlet oxygen generation as the origin of their phototoxicity.

Direct evidence of singlet molecular oxygen generation from peroxynitrate, a decomposition product of peroxynitrite.

The decomposition of peroxynitrite to nitrite and dioxygen at neutral pH follows complex kinetics, compared to its isomerization to nitrate at low pH. Decomposition may involve radicals or proceed by way of the classical peracid decomposition mechanism. Peroxynitrite (ONOOH/ONOO(-)) decomposition has been proposed to involve formation of peroxynitrate (O(2)NOOH/O(2)NOO(-)) at neutral pH (D. Gup...

Studies on the in vitro phototoxicity of the antidiabetes drug gliclazide

The phototoxic antidiabetes drug gliclazide (1) is photolabile under aerobic conditions and UV-B light. Irradiation of a phosphate buffered solution of 1 under oxygen atmosphere produces two photoproducts. The photochemistry of 1 involves cleavage of the S-N and C(O)-N bonds of the urea unit. Red blood cell lysis photosensitized by 1 was demonstrated. Their photoproducts didn't show this effect...

Synthesis and characterization of mono-, di-, and tri-poly(ethylene glycol) chlorin e6 conjugates for the photokilling of human ovarian cancer cells.

PEGylated chlorin e(6) photosensitizers were synthesized with tri(ethylene glycol) attached at the ester bond(s) for a 1:1 conjugate at the 17(3)-position, a 2:1 conjugate at the 15(2)- and 17(3)-positions, and a 3:1 conjugate at the 13(1)-, 15(2)-, and 17(3)-positions. These chlorin sensitizers were studied for hydrolytic stability and solubility, as well as ovarian OVCAR-5 cancer cell uptake,...

Singlet oxygen in microporous silica xerogel: quantum yield and oxidation at the gas-solid interface.

The quantum yields of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) production (Phi(Delta)) and (1)O(2) lifetimes (tau(Delta)) at the gas-solid interface in silica gel material are determined. Different photosensitizers (PS) are encapsulated in parallelepipedic xerogel monoliths (PS-SG). PS were chosen according to their known photooxidation properties: 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA), 9,10-anthraquinone (ANT), and a ...
