Abstract
Phthalocyanine is a blue-colored macrocyclic compound with excellent anti-oxidant and lipid-peroxidation abilities due to its intermolecular π-π stacking structure. Antioxidants inhibit intracellular reactive oxygen species formation and decrease oxidation defense ability of the enzymes in diabetes management. The present study aimed to fabricate concanavalin A conjugated phthalocyanine-loaded cochleates (Formulation PhConA) as a glucose-sensitive lipidic system and estimate its efficacy in streptozotocin-induced male Sprague Dawley diabetic rats for 28 days. Thin-film hydration and trapping methods were used in the preparation of liposomes and cochleates, respectively, whereas the surface was modified for concanavalin A conjugation using EDAC: NHS (1:1). Formulation PhConA with rod-shaped structures showed particle size of 415.7 ± 0.46 nm, PdI value of 0.435 ± 0.09, encapsulation efficiency of 85.64 ± 0.34%, and 84.55 ± 0.29% release of phthalocyanine for 56 h. The circular dichroism study displayed a slight deviation after the conjugation effect of concanavalin A to cochleates. The in-vivo studies of the formulation PhConA improved the blood glucose levels along with defensive effect on the liver to overcome the hyperlipidemic effect. The rigid structure of cochleates prolongs the drug elimination from systemic circulation and extends its effect for a longer duration by decreasing the blood glucose level. Thus, the glucose-sensitive formulation PhConA showed significant improvement in diabetic rats within the period of 28 days by improving the oxidative defense and protecting the pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract
It is well-known that oxidative damage in red blood cell (RBC) usually causes morphological changes and increased membrane rigidity. Although many studies have focused on investigating how RBC responds to a photodynamic stimulus, the intermediate steps between membrane damage and hemolysis are not reported. To give a comprehensive insight into changes of RBC membrane property under different oxidative damage levels, we employed the photoactivation of CisDiMPyP porphyrin that primarily generates singlet oxygen 1O2 as oxidant species. We found that there were distinguishable characteristic damages depending on the 1O2 flux over the membrane, in a way that each impact of photooxidative damage was categorized under three damage levels: mild (maintaining the membrane morphology and elasticity), moderate (membrane elongation and increased membrane elasticity) and severe (wrinkle-like deformation and hemolysis). When sodium azide (NaN3) was used as a singlet oxygen quencher, delayed cell membrane alterations and hemolysis were detected. The delay times showed that 1O2 indeed plays a key role that causes RBC photooxidation by CisDiMPyP. We suggest that the sequence of morphological changes (RBC discoid area expansion, wrinkle-like patterns, and hemolysis) under photooxidative damage occurs due to damage to the lipid membrane and cytoskeletal network proteins.

Deuterated polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibit photoirradiation-induced lipid peroxidation in lipid bilayers. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 229:112425. [PMID: 35276579 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2022.112425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) plays a key role in many age-related neurodegenerative conditions and other disorders. Light irradiation can initiate LPO through various mechanisms and is of importance in retinal and dermatological pathologies. The introduction of deuterated polyunsaturated fatty acids (D-PUFA) into membrane lipids is a promising approach for protection against LPO. Here, we report the protective effects of D-PUFA against the photodynamically induced LPO, using illumination in the presence of the photosensitizer trisulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPcS3) in liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV), as assessed in four experimental models: 1) sulforhodamine B leakage from liposomes, detected with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS); 2) formation of diene conjugates in liposomal membranes, measured by absorbance at 234 nm; 3) membrane leakage in GUV assessed by optical phase-contrast intensity observations; 4) UPLC-MS/MS method to detect oxidized linoleic acid (Lin)-derived metabolites. Specifically, in liposomes or GUV containing H-PUFA (dilinoleyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine), light irradiation led to an extensive oxidative damage to bilayers. By contrast, no damage was observed in lipid bilayers containing 20% or more D-PUFA (D2-Lin or D10-docosahexanenoic acid). Remarkably, addition of tocopherol increased the dye leakage from liposomes in H-PUFA bilayers compared to photoirradiation alone, signifying tocopherol's pro-oxidant properties. However, in the presence of D-PUFA the opposite effect was observed, whereby adding tocopherol increased the resistance to LPO. These findings suggest a method to augment the protective effects of D-PUFA, which are currently undergoing clinical trials in several neurological and retinal diseases that involve LPO.

Post-illumination cellular effects of photodynamic treatment. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0188535.

Abstract
Increased interest in clinical application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in various medical fields poses a demand for better understanding of processes triggered by photo-treatment. Most of the work on PDT performed so far has focused on the immediate effects of photo-treatment. It is generally accepted that cellular damage occurs during light exposure and within a short period thereafter. If cells are not killed during the PDT, they might recover, depending on the extent of the photo-induced damage. Little is known, however, about the relationship between the properties of photosensitizers (PSs) and the delayed consequences of PDT. The aim of this work was to investigate cellular responses to sub-lethal photodynamic treatment and how toxicogenic potency may be affected by molecular features of the PS. Results demonstrated that for cationic porphyrin-based PSs, lipophilicity is the main factor determining the fate of the cells in the 24-hour post-illumination period. PSs with amphiphilic properties initiated oxidative reactions that continued in the dark, long after light exposure, and caused suppression of metabolism and loss of cell viability with concomitant changes in electrophoretic mobility of proteins, including caspases. Apoptotic activity was not stimulated in the post-illumination period. This study demonstrated that in PDT mediated by amphiphilic cationic metalloporphyrin PSs, even when immediate photo-damage is relatively mild, destructive oxidative processes initiated during PDT continue in the absence of light to substantially impair metabolism, and that post-illumination protein modification may modify utilization of cell death pathways.

Abstract
The azide anion is often used as a physical quencher of singlet oxygen, the important active intermediate in photosensitized oxidation. An observed effect of azide on the rate of a reaction is considered an indication to the involvement of singlet oxygen. In most biological photosensitizations, the light-absorbing sensitizer is located in a membrane or in an intracellular organelle, whereas azide is water soluble. The quenching it causes relies on a physical encounter with singlet oxygen during the latter's short lifetime. This can happen either if azide penetrates into the membrane's lipid phase or if singlet oxygen is intercepted when diffusing in the aqueous phase. We demonstrate in this article the difference, in liposomes' suspension, between the effect of azide when using a water-soluble and membrane-bound chemical targets of singlet oxygen, whereas this difference does not exist when micelles are used. We explain the difference on the population of sensitizer and target in the liposome vs micelle. We also show the effect that exists on azide quenching of singlet oxygen by electrically charged lipids in liposomes. This is a result of the accumulation or dilution of azide in the debye layer near the membranes' surface, due to the surface Gouy-Chapman potential.

Abstract
The in vitro photodynamic effect of bis(tri-n-hexylsiloxy)silicon phthalocyanine has been evaluated against the melanotic M6 cell line. The results showed that at 10-5M dose, LD50is obtained for a 150 J cm-2light dose and LD90for 540 J cm-2. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy was used with spin traps to study the type I and type II photochemical pathways involved and to detect active oxygen intermediates such as singlet oxygen, oxygen superoxide and hydroxyl radical. The two mechanisms occurred simultaneously and no change was observed when the phthalocyanine was entrapped in liposomes.

Abstract
The efficiency of photodynamic reactions depends on 1), the penetration depth of the photosensitizer into the membrane and 2), the sidedness of the target. Molecules which are susceptible to singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) experience less damage when separated from the photosensitizer by the membrane. Since (1)O(2) lifetime in the membrane environment is orders of magnitude longer than the time required for nonexcited oxygen (O(2)) to cross the membrane, this observation suggests that differences between the permeabilities or membrane partition of (1)O(2) and O(2) exist. We investigated this hypothesis by releasing (1)O(2) at one side of a planar membrane while monitoring the kinetics of target damage at the opposite side of the same membrane. Damage to the target, represented by dipole-modifying molecules (phloretin or phlorizin), was indicated by changes in the interleaflet dipole potential difference Deltaphi(b). A simple analytical model allowed estimation of the (1)O(2) interleaflet concentration difference from the rate at which Deltaphi(b) changed. It confirmed that the lower limit of (1)O(2) permeability is approximately 2 cm/s; i.e., it roughly matches O(2) permeability as predicted by Overton's rule. Consequently, the membrane cannot act as a barrier to (1)O(2) diffusion. Differences in the reaction rates at the cytoplasmic and extracellular membrane leaflets may be attributed only to (1)O(2) quenchers inside the membrane.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) employs the combination of nontoxic photosensitizers (PS) and harmless visible light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and kill cells. Most clinically studied PS are based on the tetrapyrrole structure of porphyrins, chlorines, and related molecules, but new nontetrapyrrole PS are being sought. Fullerenes are soccer-ball shaped molecules composed of 60 or 70 carbon atoms and have attracted interest in connection with the search for biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Fullerenes are biologically inert unless derivatized with functional groups, whereupon they become soluble and can act as PS. We have compared the photodynamic activity of six functionalized fullerenes with 1, 2, or 3 hydrophilic or 1, 2, or 3 cationic groups. The octanol-water partition coefficients were determined and the relative contributions of Type I photochemistry (photogeneration of superoxide in the presence of NADH) and Type II photochemistry (photogeneration of singlet oxygen) were studied by measurement of oxygen consumption, 1270-nm luminescence and EPR spin trapping of the superoxide product. We studied three mouse cancer cell lines: (J774, LLC, and CT26) incubated for 24 h with fullerenes and illuminated with white light. The order of effectiveness as PS was inversely proportional to the degree of substitution of the fullerene nucleus for both the neutral and the cationic series. The monopyrrolidinium fullerene was the most active PS against all cell lines and induced apoptosis 4-6 h after illumination. It produced diffuse intracellular fluorescence when dichlorodihydrofluorescein was added as an ROS probe, suggesting a Type I mechanism for phototoxicity. We conclude that certain functionalized fullerenes have potential as novel PDT agents and phototoxicity may be mediated both by superoxide and by singlet oxygen.

Abstract
Leishmania amazonensis, a causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis, is susceptible in vitro to light-mediated cytolysis in the presence of or after pretreatment with the photosensitizer aluminum phthalocyanine chloride. Cytolysis of both promastigotes and axenic amastigotes required less photosensitizer (e.g., one microg.ml(-1)) and a lower light dose (e.g., 1.5 J.cm(-2)) than did the mammalian cells examined for comparison. Exposure of Leishmania cells to the photosensitizer alone had little effect on their viability, as judged from their motility, growth, and/or retention of green fluorescent proteins genetically engineered for episomal expression. Fluorimetric assays for cell-associated and released green fluorescence proteins proved to be even more sensitive for the evaluation of cell viability than microscopy for the evaluation of motility and/or integrity. Axenic amastigotes pretreated with the photosensitizer infected macrophages of the J774 line but were lysed intracellularly when the infected cells were exposed to light. Addition of the photosensitizer to the already infected cells produced no effect on their intracellular parasites. However, light irradiation lysed these macrophages and also those infected with parasites preincubated with the photosensitizer at a concentration of 5 microg.ml(-1) or higher. Photosensitized Leishmania cells are highly susceptible to cytolysis, apparently due to the generation of reactive oxidative species on light illumination, suggestive of inefficiency of their antioxidant mechanisms. Efficient delivery of photosensitizers to intracellular Leishmania is expected to increase their therapeutic potentials against leishmaniasis.

Abstract
The adsorption of a membrane-impermeable photosensitizer to only one membrane leaflet is found to trigger a localized photodynamic reaction; i.e., the amount of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) molecules damaged in the leaflet facing the photosensitizer is roughly identical to the total amount of CCCP inactivated. Whereas the latter quantity is assessed from the drop in membrane conductivity G, the former is evaluated from the photopotential phi that is proportional to the interfacial concentration difference of the uncoupler. Localized photodestruction is encountered by CCCP diffusion to the site of photodamage. A simple model that accounts for both photoinhibition and diffusion predicts the dependence of the photopotential on light intensity, buffer capacity, and pH of the medium. It is concluded that only a limited amount of the reactive oxygen species responsible for CCCP photodamage diffuses across the membrane. If the concentration of reactive oxygen species is decreased by addition of NaN(3) or by substituting aqueous oxygen for argon, phi is inhibited. If, in contrast, their life time is increased by substitution of H(2)O for D(2)O, phi increases.

Abstract
Lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) can be generated in cells when cholesterol (Ch) and other unsaturated lipids in cell membranes are degraded under conditions of oxidative stress. If LOOHs escape reductive detoxification by glutathione-dependent selenoperoxidases, they may undergo iron-catalyzed one-electron reduction to free radical species, thus triggering peroxidative chain reactions which exacerbate oxidative membrane damage. LOOHs are more polar than parent lipids and much longer-lived than free radical precursors or products. Accordingly, intermembrane transfer of LOOHs (analogous to that of unoxidized precursors) might be possible, and this could jeopardize acceptor membranes. We have investigated this possibility, using photoperoxidized [(14)C]Ch-labeled erythrocyte ghosts as cholesterol hydroperoxide (ChOOH) donors and unilamellar liposomes [e.g., dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine/Ch, 9:1 mol/mol] as acceptors. ChOOH material consisted mainly of 5alpha-hydroperoxide, a singlet oxygen adduct. Time-dependent transfer of ChOOH versus Ch at 37 degrees C was determined, using high-performance liquid and thin-layer chromatographic methods to analyze liposomal extracts for these species. A typical experiment in which the starting ChOOH/Ch mol ratio in ghosts was approximately 0.05 showed that the initial transfer rate of ChOOH was approximately 16 times greater than that of parent Ch. Using [(14)C]Ch as a reporter in liposome acceptors, we found that transfer-acquired ChOOHs, when exposed to a lipophilic iron chelate and ascorbate, could trigger strong peroxidative chain reactions, as detected by accumulation of [(14)C]Ch oxidation products. These findings support the hypothesis that intermembrane transfer of ChOOHs can contribute to their prooxidant membrane damaging and cytotoxic potential.

Abstract
Dichlorosilicon phthalocyanine (Cl2SiPc) and bis(tri-n-hexylsiloxy) silicon phthalocyanine (HexSiPc) have been evaluated in vitro as potential photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) against the human amelanotic melanoma cell line M6. Each photosensitizer is dissolved in a solvent-PBS mixture, or entrapped in egg-yolk lecithin liposomes or in Cremophor EL micelles. The cells are incubated for 1 h with the sensitizer and then irradiated for 20 min, 1 h or 2 h (lambda > 480 nm, 10 mW cm-2). The photocytotoxic effect is dependent on the photosensitizer concentration and the light dose. Higher phototoxicity is observed after an irradiation of 2 h: treatment with a solution of photosensitizer (2 x 10(-9) M) leads to 10% (HexSiPc in egg-yolk lecithin liposomes) or 20% (Cl2SiPc in DMF-PBS solution) cell viability. After 1 h incubation and 20 min of light exposure, the photodynamic effect is connected with the type of delivery system used. For HexSiPc, lower cell viability is found when this photosensitizer is entrapped in egg-yolk lecithin instead of solvent-PBS or for Cremophor EL micelles with Cl2SiPc. Liposome-delivered HexSiPc leads to lipid damage in M6 cells, illustrated by an increase of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARs), but the change is not significant with Cremophor EL. The same is observed for the antioxidative defences after photodynamic stress. The cells irradiated with HexSiPc entrapped in liposomes display an increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and a decrease of glutathione (GSH) level, glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase (Cat) activities.

Abstract
Hemin (ferriprotoporphyrin IX), the oxidized prosthetic group of hemoglobin, is a source of potentially cytotoxic iron, but in chronic low doses can induce cytoprotection against iron-stimulated oxidative stress. The latter property of hemin has been examined, using murine L1210 cells and three different oxidant generating systems: (i) glucose/glucose oxidase, (ii) near-ultraviolet irradiation, and (iii) dye-mediated photodynamic action. Cells treated with the lipophilic iron donor ferric-8-hydroxyquinoline, Fe(HQ)2 (1 microM, 30 min) were found to be more sensitive to oxidative killing than nontreated controls. However, cells challenged after long-term (20-24 h) exposure to hemin (10 microM) were substantially more resistant than controls and were sensitized far less by Fe(HQ)2. Immunoblot analyses of 24-h hemin-treated cells indicated that the ferritin heavy (H) subunit was elevated 12- to 15-fold, whereas the light (L) subunit was essentially unchanged. Experiments carried out with 55Fe(HQ)2 showed that iron uptake capacity of cells was greatly enhanced after hemin treatment. More specifically, hemin-stimulated cells were found to contain approximately 9 times more immunoprecipitable ferritin iron after incubation with saturating levels (4-5 microM) of 55Fe(HQ)2 and approximately 3 times more iron per ferritin molecule compared with nonstimulated controls. The nonferritin iron content of the latter was estimated to be approximately 40 times greater than that of the former following low-level (0.5 microM) 55Fe(HQ)2 treatment. These results are consistent with the idea that induced ferritin, enriched in H-chain, sequesters redox active iron rapidly and copiously, thereby enhancing cellular resistance to oxidants.

Abstract
The photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency of five phthalocyanines, chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc), dichlorosilicon phthalocyanine (SiPc), bis(tri-n-hexylsiloxy)silicon phthalocyanine (PcHEX), bis(triphenylsiloxy)silicon phthalocyanine (PcPHE) and nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), was assessed on two leukemic cell lines TF-1 and erythroleukemic and B lymphoblastic cell lines, Daudi, respectively. AlPc showed the best photocytotoxicity leading to 0.008 surviving fraction at 2 x 10(-9) M for TF-1 and 4 x 10(-9) M for Daudi. A1 5 x 10(-7) M, SiPc and PcHEX induced a significant photokilling, whereas NiPc and PcPHE were inactive. Laser flash photolysis and photoredox properties of the phthalocyanines were investigated to try to relate these parameters with the biological effects. AlPc showed the longest triplet life-time: 484 microseconds in dimethyl sulfoxide/H2O. This value was increased up to 820 microseconds when AlPc was complexed with human serum albumin used as a membrane model. Such an enhancement was not observed with the silicon phthalocyanines. Upon irradiation, all the phthalocyanines generated singlet oxygen with 0.29-0.37 quantum yield values. The reduction potentials of the excited states obtained from measurement in the ground state and energy of the excited triplets show that AlPc is the best electron acceptor. The in vitro photocytotoxicity observed and the measured parameters are in agreement with a key role of electron transfer in PDT assays involving these phthalocyanines.

Abstract
The presence of molecular oxygen is a determinant in the phototoxicity of phthalocyanines, and photosensitized oxidation is the accepted chemical mechanism for photo-dynamic action. However, it is difficult to establish whether the process is initiated by a type I electron transfer, or by a type II energy transfer reaction to form singlet oxygen. Usually, the involvement of singlet oxygen in photodamage has been indicated by the inhibition of the biological effect by a competitive physical or chemical singlet oxygen quencher, or by a rate increase in D2O, in which singlet oxygen has a longer lifetime than in H2O. Unfortunately, these techniques are not completely specific for singlet oxygen. Moreover, thermodynamic considerations suggest that photoinduced electron abstraction from appropriate biomaterials could compete with singlet oxygen production under in vivo conditions. This likely source of one electron-oxidized primary radicals, which can provide the precursors of the oxidative damage in phthalocyanine photosensitization, suggests the possibility of modulated toxicity by interaction with chemical additives. Examples of such additives recently studied are ascorbate, tocopherol and quercetin, all of which are natural antioxidants.

Abstract
A new technique, high-performance liquid chromatography with reductive mode electrochemical detection on a mercury drop (HPLC-EC), has been used for analyzing lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) formation in photooxidatively stressed L1210 leukemia cells. Highly specific and sensitive for peroxides (detection limits < 0.5 pmol for cholesterol hydroperoxides and < 50 pmol for phospholipid hydroperoxides), this approach allows different classes of LOOH to be separated and determined in minimally damaged cells. L1210 cells in serum-containing growth medium were irradiated in the presence of merocyanine 540 (MC540), a lipophilic photosensitizing dye. Lipid extracts from cells exposed to a light fluence of 0.11 J/cm2 (which reduced clonally assessed survival by 30%) showed 12-15 well-defined peaks in HPLC-EC. None of these peaks was observed when cells were irradiated without MC540 or when dye/light-treated samples were reduced with triphenylphosphine prior to analysis. Three peaks of relatively low retention time (< 12 min) were assigned to the following species by virtue of comigration with authentic standards: 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-6-ene-5-hydroperoxide (5 alpha-OOH), 3 beta-hydroxycholest-4-ene-6 beta-hydroperoxide (6 beta-OOH), and 3 beta-hydroxycholest-5-ene-7 alpha/7 beta-hydroperoxide (7 alpha/7 beta-OOH). Formation of 5 alpha-OOH and 6 beta-OOH (single oxygen adducts) was confirmed by subjecting [14C]cholesterol-labeled cells to relatively high levels of photooxidation and analyzing extracted lipids by HPLC with radiochemical detection. Material represented in a major peak at 18-22 min on HPLC-EC was isolated in relatively large amounts by semipreparative HPLC and shown to contain phospholipid hydroperoxides (predominantly phosphatidylcholine species, PCOOH) according to the following criteria: (i) decay of 18-22 min peak during Ca2+/phospholipase A2 treatment, with reciprocal appearance of fatty acid hydroperoxides; (ii) reduction of peroxide during treatment with reduced glutathione and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, but not glutathione peroxidase; and (iii) comigration with PCOOH standards in thin-layer chromatography. HPLC-EC analysis revealed quantifiable amounts of PCOOH and ChOOH at a light fluence that clonally inactivated < 10% of the cells, which allows for the possibility that photoperoxidative damage plays a causal role in cell killing.

Abstract
Spectroscopic studies were carried out on the photosensitizer disulphonated aluminium phthalocyanine (AlS2Pc) which has prospective applications in photodynamic therapy. The fluorescence lifetimes of AlS2Pc were measured in a range of model systems and cultured leukaemic cells using laser excitation and time-correlated, single-photon-counting detection. In an investigation of non-covalent protein binding, we studied AlS2Pc in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA) in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4. On addition of excess concentrations of HSA, small red shifts in the fluorescence and absorbance spectra were observed, together with an increase in fluorescence polarization anisotropy, consistent with binding of the phthalocyanine. Fluorescence decays could be resolved into two lifetimes for bound AlS2Pc with a dominant component of 5.5 ns and a minor component of 1 ns. Fluorescence imaging and time-resolved microfluorometry were carried out on intracellular AlS2Pc using leukaemic K562 cells. Microscopic imaging with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera revealed that AlS2Pc fluorescence predominated in a discrete perinuclear region which was then probed selectively by a focused laser spot for fluorescence lifetime measurements. Bi-exponential decays with lifetime components of 6.1 and 2.2 ns were observed. On irradiation at 633 nm, the fluorescence intensity increased initially and subsequently declined due to photodegradation.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation, which plays a part in a wide variety of biological processes, is an integral process in the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids via a radical chain reaction. Among the various species which may induce this reaction in vivo, reactive forms of oxygen such as peroxide anion, the hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen are of cardinal importance. These species may be generated enzymatically, chemically or by various radiochemical and photochemical reactions. We present here the advantages of photochemical induction of peroxidation, and we describe the principles of the reactions, the photosensitizers that can be employed to generate the various reactive species of oxygen, and the techniques, direct (ESR) or indirect (specific traps), used to detect the reactive species. Photosensitization can induce the formation of a whole gamut of products of lipid peroxidation: conjugated dienes, aldehydes, hydroperoxides, etc. The relative proportions of the various hydroperoxides of fatty acids or cholesterol depend on the nature of the reactive species involved. Utilization of photochemical reactions is an effective and clean way of inducing peroxidation, allowing fine control of both initiation and orientation.

Abstract
The effect of phthalocyanines, the potent photodynamic sensitizers, on the electric properties of the bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) is studied. It is shown, that tetrasulfonated, as well as trisulfonated, aluminium phthalocyanine do not alter the conductance of BLM, but elicit certain changes in the boundary potential difference, which points in favor of dye adsorption on BLM. Under the conditions of intense visible light irradiation, the phthalocyanines cause an increase in the conductance, resulting in the irreversible breakdown of BLM, formed from soy bean phosphatidylcholine, but fail to change the conductance of BLM, formed from diphytanoilphosphatidylcholine. The phthalocyanine-sensitized inactivation of gramicidin channels incorporated into BLM is observed under the conditions of weak visible light irradiation using an He-Ne laser. The photodynamic blockage of model ionic channels is considerably suppressed after oxygen depletion. The phenomenon consists of a marked reduction of a number of open channels, probably due to photomodification of tryptophan residues, essential for gramicidin functioning. The mechanism of the channel inactivation, involving the photosensitized reaction of the II type, and the relevance to the interaction of sensitizers with biomembranes, is discussed.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) can react with cholesterol (Ch) to give three possible ene-addition hydroperoxides: 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-6-ene-5-hydroperoxide (5 alpha-OOH), 3 beta-hydroxycholest-4-ene-6 alpha-hydroperoxide (6 alpha-OOH), and 3 beta-hydroxycholest-4-ene-6 beta-hydroperoxide (6 beta-OOH). The rates of dye-sensitized photogeneration and also the fates of 5 alpha-OOH and 6 beta-OOH in membrane bilayers have been studied and compared. Irradiation of unilamellar [14C]Ch/phospholipid vesicles in the presence of aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate or merocyanine 540 resulted in formation of 5 alpha-OOH and 6 beta-OOH, as determined by high performance liquid chromatography with radiochemical or electrochemical detection. The initial rate of 6 beta-OOH formation was 30-35% that of 5 alpha-OOH in a variety of liposomal systems. However, after a lag, 5 alpha-OOH invariably decayed via allylic rearrangement to 7 alpha-OOH (also known to be a free radical product), whereas 6 beta-OOH accumulated in unabated fashion until Ch depletion became limiting. Photooxidation of Ch in an isolated natural membrane (erythrocyte ghost) or in L1210 leukemia cells gave similar results. When the reaction was carried out in pyridine or methanol, the rate of 6 beta-OOH formation relative to 5 alpha-OOH was reduced by approximately half, with essentially no isomerization of the latter to 7 alpha-OOH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The photodynamic inactivation of retroviruses was investigated using aluminium and zinc phthalocyanine (Pc) derivatives. The N2 retrovirus packaged in either of the two murine cell lines, Psi2 and PA317, was used as a model for enveloped viruses. AlPc derivatives were found to be more effective photodynamically for inactivation of the viruses than the corresponding ZnPc derivatives. Sulphonation of the Pc macrocycle reduced its photodynamic activity progressively for both AlPc and ZnPc. Fluoride at 5 mM during light exposure completely protected viruses against inactivation by AlPc. In the presence of F-, inactivation by the sulphonated derivatives AlPcS1 and AlPcS4 was reduced 2.5- and twofold respectively. In a biological membrane (erythrocyte ghosts), F- had no significant effect on AlPcS4-sensitized lipid peroxidation. Under similar conditions, cross-linking of spectrin monomers in ghosts is drastically inhibited (E. Ben-Hur and A. Orenstein, Int. J. Radiat. Biol., 60 (1991) 293-301). Since Pc derivatives do not inactivate non-enveloped viruses, it is hypothesized that inactivation occurs by photodynamic damage to envelope protein(s). Substitution of sulphonic acid residues reduces the binding of Pc derivatives to the envelope protein(s), thereby diminishing their photodynamic efficacy and the ability of F- to modify it.

Abstract
Cholesterol resembles other unsaturated lipids in being susceptible to peroxidative degradation when exposed to a sensitizing agent, exciting light of suitable wavelength and molecular oxygen. Selected hydroperoxides of cholesterol can be used as relatively convenient and reliable indicators of primary photochemical mechanisms, allowing a distinction to be made between free radical-mediated and singlet oxygen-mediated reactions. When generated in cell membranes, hydroperoxides of cholesterol and other lipids can have deleterious effects on membrane structure and function. Such damage may be exacerbated if these photoproducts undergo one-electron reduction to oxyl radicals which in turn initiate chain peroxidation reactions. Cells can resist these effects by using a membrane-based glutathione peroxidase to catalyze the two-electron reduction and detoxification of lipid hydroperoxides. Recent advances in our understanding of cholesterol photo-oxidation from the standpoints of (a) mechanistic information, (b) cytotoxicity and (c) cytoprotection are discussed in this article.

Abstract
Fluoride inhibits chloroaluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (AlPcS)-induced photohemolysis when added to dye loaded cells prior to light exposure. The mechanism by which F- exerts this effect was studied by measuring the binding of phthalocyanine (Pc) to various proteins in the absence and presence of F-. Parallel measurements were made of the photodynamic action under these conditions. Fluoride reduced the binding to proteins of AlPcS and CoPcS. The binding of CuPcS, ZnPcS and H2PcS was not affected. When bound to bovine serum albumin and exposed to light, H2Pc, ZnPc and AlPcCl were bleached at a biphasic rate. Only the photobleaching of AlPcCl was affected by F-. The effect of F- was to inhibit the initial rapid phase without affecting the slower phase. In the presence of D2O only the second phase of photobleaching was enhanced, in the absence or presence of F-. No effect of F- was observed on tryptophan photooxidation or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase photoinactivation by AlPcS. Crosslinking of spectrin monomers photosensitized by AlPcS was inhibited by F- in parallel with the reduced binding of dye to the protein. It is concluded that F- exerts its effect by complexing with metal ligands of Pc. As a result, the dye may be released from the protein or the binding mode may be changed in such a way that effective photochemistry is prevented. Primary photophysical processes of Pc most probably are not affected by F-.
