Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are widely used anti-bacterial agents that are known to exhibit moderate to severe phototoxicity. Furthermore some of them reveal photogenotoxicity under UV irradiation. Incidence of side effects due to light exposure may be augmented, if the medicament is used topically. The main goal of this work was to compare the extent of photodegradation of ofloxacin in ointments with various excipients: hydrated or non-hydrated base and the addition of sunscreens: bisoctrizole (Tinosorb M) and bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S). The next goal of present work was the analysis of phototoxicity and photogenotoxicity of ofloxacin photodegradation products in tested ointments and in solutions with the umu-test, the test of mitotic gene conversion with Saccharomyces cerevisiae D7 and the micronucleus assay with V79 Chinese hamster cell line. At the same time an attempt was made to determinate the photodegradation products of ofloxacin in different unguents variants. We observed a significant photoprotective effect in ointment with Tinosorb M. We did not evaluated relevant differences regarding the genotoxicity and toxicity of unguents. However, the pre-irradiated ofloxacin solutions in comparison to samples stored in the dark were significantly more genotoxic to bacteria, slightly increased the number of micronuclei in V79 cell line and were toxic to the yeast strain.

Abstract
Clinafloxacin dithiocarbamate (CNND) preparation and radiolabeling through [99mTc ≡ N]2+ core with the gamma (γ) emitter (99mTc) was assessed. The potentiality of the 99mTcV ≡ N-CNND complex was investigated as perspective a Staphylococcus aureus (S.a.) in vivo infection radiotracer in terms of radiochemical stability in normal saline (n.s.), human serum (h.s.), binding efficacy with live and heat killed S.a. and biodistribution in female nude mice model (FNMD). More than 90% stability was observed in n.s. for 4 h with the highest yield of 98.70 ± 0.26% at 30 min after reconstitution. In h.s., the 99mTcV ≡ N-CNND complex was found stable up to 16 h with 15.35% side products. Maximum in vitro binding (68.75 ± 0.80%, 90 min) with S.a. was observed after 90 min of incubation. In FNMD, (infected with live strain) approximately six-fold higher uptakes was noted in the infected to inflamed and normal muscles. The higher stability in n.s., h.s., higher S.a. (live) up take with specific and targeted in vivo distribution confirmed potentiality of the 99mTcV ≡ N-CNND complex as perspective S.a.in vivo infection radiotracer.

Abstract
UV is the most abundant human carcinogen, and protection from extensive exposure to it is a widespread human health issue. The use of chemicals (sunscreens) for protection is intuitive and efficacious. However, these chemicals may become activated to reactive intermediates when absorbing energy from UV, thus producing damage themselves, which may manifest itself in phototoxic, photoallergenic or photocarcinogenic reactions in humans. The development of safe sunscreens for humans is of high interest. Similar issues have been observed for some therapeutically used principles such as PUVA therapy for psoriasis or porphyrins for phototherapy of human cancers. Photoactivation has also been reported as a side effect of various pharmaceuticals such as the antibacterial fluoroquinolones. In this context, the authors have been involved over more than 20 years in the development and refinement of assays to test for photomutagenicity as an unwanted side effect of UV-mediated activation of such chemicals for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use. The initial years of great hopes for simple mammalian cell-based assays for photomutagenicity to screen out substances of concern for human use were followed by many years of collaborative trials to achieve standardization. However, it is now realized that this topic, albeit of human safety relevance, is highly complex and subject to many artificial modifiers, especially in vitro in mammalian cell culture. Thus, it is not really suitable for being engineered into a general testing framework within cosmetic or pharmaceutical testing guidelines. Much knowledge has been generated over the years to arrive at the conclusion that yes, photomutagenicity does exist with the use of chemicals, but how to best test for it will require a sophisticated case-by-case approach. Moreover, in comparison to the properties and risks of exposure to UV itself, it remains a comparatively minor human safety risk to address. In considering risks and benefits, we should also acknowledge beneficial effects of UV on human health, including an essential role in the production of Vitamin D. Thus, the interrelationships between UV, chemicals and human health remain a fascinating topic of research.

Abstract
Plants are used by humans in daily life in many different ways, including as food, herbal medicines, and cosmetics. Unfortunately, many natural plants and their chemical constituents are photocytotoxic and photogenotoxic, and these phototoxic phytochemicals are widely present in many different plant families. To date, information concerning the phototoxicity and photogenotoxicity of many plants and their chemical constituents is limited. In this review, we discuss phototoxic plants and their major phototoxic constituents; routes of human exposure; phototoxicity of these plants and their constituents; general mechanisms of phototoxicity of plants and phototoxic components; and several representative phototoxic plants and their photoactive chemical constituents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinafloxacin dithiocarbamate (CNND) was radiolabeled with technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) using [(99m)Tc(CO)3(H2O)3](+) and assessed for its radiochemical stability in saline and serum, its in vitro binding with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and biodistribution in female nude mice (FNM) artificially infected with live and heat-killed MRSA. METHODS In normal saline (NS) the (99m)Tc(CO)3-clinafloxacin dithiocarbamate ((99m)Tc(CO)3-CNND) showed radiochemical stability with a maximum value of 99.10 ± 0.20% and remained stable up to 4 h (92.65 ± 0.18%). RESULTS In human serum at 37°C within 16 h of incubation, 14.85% side products as a result of de-tagging developed. Incubation with MRSA gave saturated binding with a maximum value of 72.75 ± 1.20%. Almost six-fold higher uptake was seen in the infected muscle of the FNM as compared to the inflamed and normal muscle. The (99m)Tc(CO)3-CNND complex showed a normal route of excretion from the body of the FNM model. CONCLUSION The higher stability in NS, HS, saturated in vitro binding with a live strain of MRSA and six-fold higher uptake in the target organ showed the (99m)Tc(CO)3-CNND complex to be a potential MRSA infection radiotracer.

Abstract
Halogenoquinolones are potent and widely used antimicrobials blocking microbial DNA synthesis. However, they induce adverse photoresponses through the absorption of UV light, including phototoxicity and photocarcinogenicity. The phototoxic responses may be the result of photosensitization of singlet oxygen, production of free radicals and/or other reactive species resulting from photodehalogenation. Here, we report the use of laser scanning confocal microscopy to detect and to follow the fluorescence changes of one monohalogenated and three di-halogenated quinolones in live human epidermal keratinocyte cells during in situ irradiation by confocal laser in real time. Fluorescence image analysis and co-staining with the LysoTracker probe showed that lysosomes are a preferential site of drug localization and phototransformations. As the lysosomal environment is relatively acidic, we also determined how low pH may affect the dehalogenation and concomitant fluorescence. With continued UV irradiation, fluorescence increased in the photoproducts from BAY y3118 and clinafloxacin, whereas it decreased for lomefloxacin and moxifloxacin. Our images not only help to localize these phototoxic agents in the cell, but also provide means for dynamic monitoring of their phototransformations in the cellular environment.

Abstract
The ocular toxicity of fluoroquinolones and the risks of their use in the treatment of ocular infection were reviewed. Systematic identification, selection, review and synthesis of published English-language studies relating to fluoroquinolone use and safety in animals and humans was conducted. Although not free of complications, fluoroquinolones are generally safe when used to treat ocular infection. Ocular toxicity appears to be dose-dependent and results from class-effects and specific fluoroquinolone structures. Phototoxicity and neurotoxicity have been reported, and toxic effects on ocular collagen may be associated with Achilles tendinopathy. Corneal precipitation may provide an advantageous drug depot but delay healing and result in corneal perforation in approximately 10% of cases. Although human toxicity studies are limited, the current recommended dose for intracameral injection of ciprofloxacin is less than 25 microg. Intravitreal injections of ciprofloxacin 100 microg, ofloxacin 50 microg/mL, trovafloxacin 25 microg or less, moxifloxacin 160 microg/0.1 mL or less and pefloxacin 200 microg/0.1 mL are considered safe.

Abstract
Evaluating in vivo photochemical genotoxicity (photogenotoxicity) or photochemical carcinogenicity (photocarcinogenicity) in the skin that is actually exposed to light is important for estimating the risk of human exposure to chemicals under sunlight. With regard to the skin micronucleus test, Nishikawa et al. developed a reliable technique that is simple and in which the negative control has a stable background. In the present study, we applied 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) to the backs of hairless mice and subjected the mice to irradiation by a sunlight simulator in order to investigate whether this test can detect photogenotoxicity of these chemicals. In the treatment with 8-MOP [0.00075% and 0.0015% (w/v)], a significant increase was observed in the frequency of micronucleated cells only under light irradiation using the sunlight simulator. At a high chemical dose, the frequency of micronucleated cells increased from 48h after the treatment, peaked at 96h, and then decreased at 168h. Furthermore, at 96h with the high dose under light irradiation, we frequently observed cells with nuclear buds. In the treatment with B[a]P [first experiment: 0.025% and 0.05% (w/v); second experiment: 0.005%, 0.01%, and 0.02% (w/v)], a significant increase was observed in the frequency of micronucleated cells at skin-irritating doses [0.01%, 0.02%, 0.025%, and 0.05% (w/v)] at 72 or 96h after the treatment only under light irradiation using the sunlight simulator. In conclusion, photogenotoxicity of 8-MOP and B[a]P was detected in the in vivo photochemical skin micronucleus study.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Due to the need for in vivo photo-genotoxicity tests, the in vivo photo-comet assay was established in epidermal cells of the SKH-1 mouse. Groups of 10 male SKH-1 mice each were treated once orally with vehicle only, with three fluoroquinolones (25 mg/kg clinafloxacin, 20 mg/kg lomefloxacin, 200 mg/kg ciprofloxacin) or with 200mg/kg 8-methoxypsoralene (8-MOP). Thirty minutes after treatment half of the mice in each group were exposed to 23.8 J/cm2 UVA. Thereafter the mice were killed and their epidermal cells tested in the alkaline (pH >13) comet assay; at the same time after administration, compound-treated, non-irradiated mice were killed and analysed. A negative control group of ten male SKH-1 mice received the vehicle only; half of these animals were exposed to UVA, half were not. The comet tail lengths of epidermal cells of the mice were statistically significantly increased for all three fluoroquinolones (FQ) tested in combination with UV irradiation. Treatment with 8-methoxypsoralene+UV induced a significant reduction of comet tail length. Tail intensity and tail moment gave essentially the same results after combined exposure (compound+UV). Without irradiation, the tail lengths of controls and compound-treated mice were comparable under the conditions of this study. In contrast, tail intensity and tail moment were increased for all test compounds (including 8-MOP), without irradiation. Irradiated controls had a tail length comparable to non-irradiated controls, while tail intensity and tail moment were clearly increased in irradiated controls. IN CONCLUSION under the present experimental conditions the in vivo photo-comet assay is able to detect photo-chemically induced DNA strand breaks as well as photo-chemically induced DNA cross-links.

Abstract
In recent years, assessing the photogenotoxic potential of a compound became an issue for certain drugs and cosmetical products. Therefore, existing methods performed according to international guidelines (e.g. OECD guidelines) were adapted to the use of concurrent UV-visible (UV-Vis) light irradiation for the assessment of photomutagenicity/photogenotoxicity. In this review, photobiological bases of the processes occurring in the cell after irradiation with UV- and/or visible (vis)-light as well as a compilation of testing methods is presented. Methods comprise cell free investigations on naked DNA and in vitro methods, such as the photo-Ames test, the photo-HPRT/photo-mouse lymphoma assay (MLA), the photo-micronucleus test (MNT), the photo-chromosomal aberration test (CA) and the photo-Comet assay. A compilation of the currently available international literature of compounds tested on photogenotoxicity is given for each method. The state of the art of photogenotoxicity testing as well as the rational for testing are outlined in relation to the recommendations reached in expert working groups at different international meetings and to regulatory guidance papers. Finally, photogenotoxicity testing as predictor of photocarcinogenicity and in the light of risk assessment is discussed.

Abstract
Administration of the second-generation antihistamine, terfenadine, is sometimes associated with photosensitivity and other skin reactions. To obtain information on its photoreactivity, we used a stepwise experimental approach involving tests for photostability, phototoxicity (PT) (mouse fibroblast cell line [3T3] neutral red uptake [NRU] test) and photomutagenicity (with standard Ames salmonella tester strains TA98, TA100 and TA102). Terfenadine was not phototoxic to cultured mammalian cells under the conditions used (i.e. 5000/161 mJ cm(-2) UVA-UVB). Natural sunlight and UV radiations caused considerable drug decomposition and formation of several photoproducts. Addition of the irradiated terfenadine solution (i.e. a mixture of photoproducts) to the tester did not significantly increase background mutation frequency. Irradiation of terfenadine coplated with the TA102 strain induced a clear-cut photomutagenic response, the magnitude of which was dependent upon the precursor compound concentration and the UV dose (212/7 to 339/11 mJ cm(-2) UVA-UVB). These findings demonstrate that in vitro terfenadine is photomutagenic in absence of PT. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are therefore needed to provide an adequate safety assessment of the photochemical genotoxicity--carcinogenicity potential of terfenadine. In the meantime, patients should be advised to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight.

Abstract
The in vivo genotoxicity of lomefloxacin, a diflourinated antibacterial drug, was evaluated by employing mouse in vivo chromosomal aberration test in bone marrow cells and dominant lethal mutation assay in germ cells. Statistically significant reduction in mitotic index, increase in chromosomal aberrations (CAs)/cell and percent abnormal metaphase was observed only at the highest dose (160 mg/kg b.w.) of the drug. In the dominant lethal mutation assay, a statistically significant decrease in the number of implants/female, compared to vehicle control, was noticed only in the females mated with males treated with 32 mg/kg b.w. during the third week of mating, while statistically significant reduction in live implants/female was noticed at both the doses during the second and third weeks of mating. Nevertheless, no significant change in the number of dead implants/female was observed after lomefloxacin treatment. These results seems to indicate that lomefloxacin is a weak clastogen in the bone marrow cells and non-mutagenic in the germ cells of mouse in vivo.

Abstract
The skin micronucleus test combined with irradiation due to a sunlight simulator having a spectrum almost identical to solar irradiation was used as a novel in vivo testing method for detecting or comparing the photochemical chromosome damage of quinolone antibacterial agents (quinolones). Eight-week-old male SKH1 hairless mice were orally administered once lomefloxacin (LFLX), a strong in vitro photochemical clastogen, at 25 or 50 mg/kg, followed by light irradiation at 7.9-9.4J/cm2 of ultraviolet A (UVA). Animals were killed on Days 2, 3, 4, 5 or 8 (the dosing day was designated as Day 1), and the incidence of micronucleus in the epidermis was determined. As results, LFLX at either dose caused significant increases in the micronucleus frequency, which peaked on Day 4. These changes tended to return to the control level on Day 8. Then, the micronucleus induction potential of the quinolone derivatives levofloxacin (LVFX) and clinafloxacin (CLFX) at 10, 20 or 40 mg/kg was assessed on Day 4 under the same experimental conditions as for LFLX. Although LVFX was negative even at 40 mg/kg, CFLX dose-dependently induced significant increases in micronucleus frequency at all doses. The correlation of magnitude among the three quinolones in the skin micronucleus test with light irradiation was similar to that in our previous in vitro photochemical clastogenicity study. No significant increase in micronucleus frequency was observed in any of three quinolones employed without light irradiation. In conclusion, the experimental method presented here would be a useful tool for detecting in vivo photochemical chromosome damage and for research on photochemical carcinogenesis of chemicals.

Abstract
Photochemical genotoxicity can be detected using appropriately adapted versions of most of the standard in vitro genotoxicity assays. The most sensitive approach to detect potentially photogenotoxic agents seems to be the investigation of DNA damage (DNA strand breakage, chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei) in mammalian cells in vitro. In a previous paper, we proposed the use of the micronucleus assay in Chinese hamster V79 cells for this purpose. This assay was found suitable to detect various photogenotoxic compounds with different photoactivation mechanisms. In order to extend the experimental experiences with this assay, we present here further data from a screening mode testing of 16 different potential photosensitizers. The photoclastogenic and photocytotoxic potential of the compounds was investigated concomitantly. So far, all substances detected in the photo-micronucleus assay as photogenotoxins also exhibited photocytotoxic properties but not vice versa. Among the compounds tested in the present study, tiaprofenic acid, 5-MOP, angelicin, nitrazepam, bendroflumethiazide, and dacarbazine were photogenotoxic and photocytotoxic. Further, 6-mercaptopurine, a metabolite of azathioprine was positive for both endpoints, whereas azathioprine was found negative. Azathioprine seems to be an example of a compound which lacks photo(geno)toxic properties in vitro but may be converted to a photosensitizer by enzymatical metabolization. With the results obtained in this study, the data base for the photo-micronucleus assay was extended to 35 compounds, which were tested using the same protocol and the same irradiation conditions. The photogenotoxicity results of all these compounds are summarized and discussed in correlation to their different photoactivation mechanisms, photocytotoxicity and photocarcinogenicity.

Abstract
The photochemical clastogenic potential of 12 quinolone antibacterial agents with or without light irradiation was assessed by an in vitro chromosomal aberration test using cultured CHL cells. Exposure to all test compounds, except for DK-507k, increased the incidence of cells with structural aberrations excluding gap (TA) following light irradiation. Test compounds used in the present study under light irradiation were divided into three groups based on their ED(50) values, doses inducing chromosomal aberrations in 50% of cells. The first group with ED(50) values below 30 microg/ml includes sparfloxacin (SPFX), clinafloxacin (CLFX), gemifloxacin (GMFX), lomefloxacin (LFLX), sitafloxacin (STFX), grepafloxacin (GPFX) and fleroxacin (FLRX); the second group with ED(50) values of 100 microg/ml, enoxacin (ENX) and levofloxacin (LVFX); the third group with little or no potency, moxifloxacin (MFLX), trovafloxacin (TVFX) and DK-507k. The photochemical clastogenicity of these compounds correlates well with their reported in vivo phototoxic potentials. In the chemical structure and clastogenicity relationships, substitution of a methoxy group at the C-8 position in the quinolone nucleus was confirmed to reduce not only photochemical clastogenicity, but also the clastogenic potential of quinolone antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibacterials, which have been used for the treatment of a variety of infectious diseases, are reported to be photocarcinogenic. We investigated the mechanisms of DNA damage by UVA radiation (365 nm) plus fluoroquinolone antibacterials using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the human c-Ha-ras-1 proto-oncogene and the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Photocarcinogenic nalidixic acid (NA), which is an old member of synthetic quinolone antibacterials, caused DNA damage specifically at 5'-GG-3' sequences, whereas lomefloxacin (LFLX) did not exhibit the site preference for consecutive guanines. LFLX-induced DNA photodamage was inhibited by sodium azide and enhanced in D2O, suggesting that singlet oxygen plays the key role in the DNA damage. LFLX plus UVA induced the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) depending on LFLX concentrations, and 8-oxodG formation was enhanced in single-stranded DNA. In contrast, NA induced larger amounts of 8-oxodG in double-stranded DNA. ESR spin destruction method revealed that NA induced DNA photodamage through electron transfer but LFLX did not. These findings indicate that DNA damage induced by photoactivated LFLX and NA plays an important role in expression of their photocarcinogenicity.

Abstract
Recent toxicological observations have caused concern regarding the need to test, for example, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products for photochemical genotoxicity. The objective of this report is to give assistance on how to adapt existing test methods to investigate the potential of light-absorbing compounds to induce genotoxic effects on photoactivation. In general, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation & Economic Development (OECD) draft guideline on in vitro phototoxicity testing served as a basis for consideration. Concomitant exposure of the cells to the test compound and solar simulated light was considered appropriate as the initial, basic test condition. Optimization of the exposure scheme, e.g., a change of the irradiation spectrum, might be indicated depending on the initial test results. Selection of test compound concentrations should be based on results obtained with the dark version of the respective test system but might have to be modified if phototoxic effects are observed. Selection of the irradiation dose has to be performed individually for each test system based on dose-effect studies. The irradiation should induce per se a small, reproducible toxic or genotoxic effect. The report includes a specification of necessary controls, discusses factors that might have an impact on the irradiation characteristics, and gives a rationale for the omission of an external metabolic activation system. It also addresses the question that physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties might trigger the need to test a chemical for photochemical genotoxicity. Relevant experimental observations are presented to back up the recommendations. The working group did not reach a consensus as to whether a single, adequately perfomed in vitro test for clastogenicity would be sufficient to exclude a photogenotoxic liability or whether a test battery including a gene mutation assay would be needed for product safety testing regarding photochemical genotoxicity.
