Novel (Phenothiazinyl)Vinyl-Pyridinium Dyes and Their Potential Applications as Cellular Staining Agents. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22062985. [PMID: 33804193 PMCID: PMC7999001 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22062985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
We report here the synthesis and structural characterization of novel cationic (phenothiazinyl)vinyl-pyridinium (PVP) dyes, together with optical (absorption/emission) properties and their potential applicability as fluorescent labels. Convective heating, ultrasound irradiation and mechanochemical synthesis were considered as alternative synthetic methodologies proficient for overcoming drawbacks such as long reaction time, nonsatisfactory yields or solvent requirements in the synthesis of novel dye (E)-1-(3-chloropropyl)-4-(2-(10-methyl-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)vinyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide 3d and its N-alkyl-2-methylpyridinium precursor 1c. The trans geometry of the newly synthesized (E)-4-(2-(7-bromo-10-ethyl-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)vinyl)-1-methylpyridin-1-ium iodide 3b and (E)-1-methyl-4-(2-(10-methyl-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)vinyl)pyridin-1-ium tetrafluoroborate 3a′ was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A negative solvatochromism of the dyes in polar solvents was highlighted by UV-Vis spectroscopy and explanatory insights were supported by molecular modeling which suggested a better stabilization of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO). The photostability of the dye 3b was investigated by irradiation at 365 nm in different solvents, while the steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence properties of dye 3b and 3a′ in solid state were evaluated under one-photon excitation at 485 nm. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the new PVP dyes on B16-F10 melanoma cells was evaluated by WST-1 assay, while their intracellular localization was assessed by epi-fluorescence conventional microscopy imaging as well as one- and two-photon excited confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). PVP dyes displayed low cytotoxicity, good internalization inside melanoma cells and intense fluorescence emission inside the B16-F10 murine melanoma cells, making them suitable staining agents for imaging applications.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the insights of molecular properties of the xanthene dyes [fluorescein (FL), Rose Bengal (RB), erythrosin B (EB), and eosin Y (EY)] to correlate systematically their photodynamic efficiency as well as their phototoxicity against a carcinoma cell line. The phototoxicity was evaluated by comparing the values of the medium inhibitory concentration (IC50) upon HEp-2 cells with the xanthene corresponding photodynamic activity using the uric acid as a chemical dosimeter and their octanol-water partition coefficient (logP). RB was the more cytotoxic dye against HEp-2 cell line and the most efficient photosensitizer in causing photoxidation of uric acid; nevertheless it was the only one characterized as being hydrophobic among the xanthenes studied here. On the other hand, it was observed that the halogen substituents increased the hydrophilicity and photodynamic activity, consistent with the cytotoxic experiments. Furthermore, the reactivity index parameters, electric dipole moment, molecular volume, and the frontier orbitals were also obtained by the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The lowest dipole moment and highest molecular volume of RB corroborate with its highest hydrophobicity due to heavy atom substituents like halogens, while the halogen substituents did not affect expressively the electronic features at all.

Abstract
The phenothiazinium derivative toluidine blue O (TBO) is widely employed as a photoantimicrobial agent in clinical trialling, particularly in dentistry. However, its activity against a range of pathogenic microbial species is not significantly different to that of the standard photoantimicrobial methylene blue. In the current study, derivatives of TBO with varying hydrocarbon substitution in chromophore position 2 were synthesised via the established anilinethiosulphonic route, using the mild oxidant silver(II) carbonate to allow substituent preservation. The resulting series of analogues demonstrated the expected increases in visible absorption wavelength and lipophilicity with increasing hydrocarbon content, as well as decreased aggregation for derivatives with bulkier substituents, and all produced singlet oxygen on illumination in vitro. Screening against a range of bacterial and fungal pathogens relevant to infection control showed remarkable increases in activity relative to the parent compound, particularly against the clinically important Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, in order to demonstrate clinical relevance, the photoactivities of the new derivatives against microbial targets were compared to conventional antibacterial and antifungal drugs, as well as biocides commonly used for local disinfection. Activity here was also generally greater than that of the conventional agents used for comparison, considerably so relative to the local disinfectant agents.

Abstract
The triarylmethane dye Victoria blue BO (VBBO) is a known photosensitizer which has been shown to induce a cytotoxic response in vitro. Several novel Victoria blue derivatives, with varying physicochemical properties, have been compared to VBBO, with respect both to dark toxicity and phototoxicity, on a mouse mammary tumour cell line, EMT6. Photosensitizer uptake was observed using confocal fluorescence microscopy. The chemical differences, particularly in the naphthyl substitution of the derivatives were shown to alter the light:dark toxicity differential and the uptake of the photosensitizers.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is emerging as a potential therapeutic modality in the clinical management of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). In order to establish a rationale for effective PDT of CL, we investigated the impact of the molecular charge and structure of photosensitizers on the parasitic phototoxic response. Two photosensitizers from the benzophenoxazine family that bear an overall cationic charge and two anionic porphyrinoid molecules were evaluated. The photodynamic activity of the photosensitizers decreases in the following order: EtNBSe > EtNBS > BpD > PpIX. The studies suggest that compared to hydrophobic anionic photosensitizers, the hydrophilic cationic benzophenoxazine analogs provide high effectiveness of PDT possibly due to (1) their strong attraction to the negatively charged parasitic membrane, (2) their hydrophilicity, (3) their high singlet oxygen quantum yield, and (4) their efficacy in targeting intracellular organelles.

Abstract
2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) is commonly used to detect the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates and for assessing the overall oxidative stress in toxicological phenomenon. It has been suggested that DCFH-DA crosses the cell membrane, subsequently undergoing deacetylation by intracellular esterases. The resulting 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH) is proposed to react with intracellular hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizing ROS to give the fluorescent 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). Using an NMR chemical shift-polarity correlation, we have determined that DCFH-DA and DCFH are located well within the lipid bilayer and certainly not at the interface. These results, therefore, put into serious question the proposed ability of DCFH to come in contact with the aqueous phase and thereby interact with aqueous intracellular ROS and components. However, H2O2 and superoxide can cross or at least penetrate the lipid bilayer and react with certain lipophilic substrates. This may well describe the mode of reaction of these and other ROS with DCFH.

Abstract
In this paper we present a study on the intracellular localisation and the efficiency of cell photoinactivation of a series of derivatives of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-N-methylpyridyl)-porphine (C1), whose degree of lipophilicity was varied through replacement of one methyl group with an alkyl chain of various length. Human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells exposed to the various C1 derivatives (0.25 microM) for 24 h and irradiated with increasing doses of red-light (0.45-27 J/cm2) were inactivated with different efficiencies. The efficiency of cell photoinactivation increased with the increasing length of the hydrocarbon tail and lipophilicity and correlated with the efficiency of the porphyrin accumulation into the cells. Despite the presence of positive charges, these porphyrins did localise rather selectively in lysosomes while mitochondrial localisation was not evident, as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy studies. Studies on isolated mitochondria provided evidence that the porphyrin uptake and distribution in these organelles were not modulated by the transmembrane potential but were exclusively controlled by partitioning phenomena which might have prevented mitochondria localization in whole cells. Our findings demonstrated that these porphyrins entered the cells through the endocytotic pathway and were transported to lysosomes whose pH increased rapidly upon irradiation. Lysosomal damage did not cause any intracellular redistribution of the porphyrin and represented the primary event causing cell death, very likely via necrosis.

Abstract
Phenothiazinium dyes, and derivatives, were tested for toxicity to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The dyes were generally lipophilic (log P>1) and showed inherent dark toxicity (minimum lethal concentrations: 3.1-1000 microM). Dye illumination (total light dose of 3.15 J cm(-1) over 30 min) led to up to eight-fold reductions in minimum lethal concentrations. Most of the illuminated dyes showed significant relative singlet oxygen yields (phi'delta: 0.18-1.35) suggesting a type II mechanism of generating a phototoxic response. Although generally up to six-fold more effective against S. aureus, the dyes tested efficiently killed E. coli and may be of particular use in combating Gram-negative pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Studies on the photobactericidal efficacy of methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB) have shown inconsistent results in the literature. This study evaluated the bactericidal efficacy of MB and TB against different bacteria under light and dark conditions to determine the most effective bactericidal dye. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Hemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in saline were treated in dark and red laser light conditions in the presence of each dye using an argon pumped-dye and a diode laser emitting light at 630 and 664 nm, respectively. The effect of dye concentration, dark incubation time, the fluence and intensity of laser light on the destruction of different bacteria were compared. RESULTS Both dyes eradicated all examined bacteria under laser light. The complete photodestruction of microorganisms was reached at TB concentrations of 1.5-7-fold less than that of MB. CONCLUSION TB exhibits a greater bactericidal activity than MB against most bacteria in dark and light conditions. Mostly, these results are consistent with their respective dye partition coefficients.

Abstract
Oxidizing species (OS), produced by photosensitization or derived from cytotoxic agents, activate apoptotic pathways. We investigated whether two different OS, formed at the same subcellular sites, have equivalent ability to initiate apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Our previous work showed that absorption of visible light by rose bengal (RB) produces singlet oxygen exclusively, whereas absorption of ultraviolet A produces RB-derived radicals in addition to singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen, but not the RB-derived radicals, induced nuclear condensation and DNA fragmentation into nucleosome-size fragments in a dose dependent manner. In contrast, the RB-derived radicals caused greater lipid oxidation than singlet oxygen. These results indicate that different OS, produced at the same subcellular sites, do not have the same ability to induce apoptosis and that the ability of an OS to initiate lipid oxidation does not necessarily correlate with its ability to induce apoptosis.

Abstract
The cytotoxic and photodynamic activities of the commercially-available biological stains methylene blue (MB), 1,9-dimethyl MB (Taylor's Blue) and a newly synthesised compound, 1-methyl MB, were measured against the murine mammary tumour cell line, EMT-6. Both 1-methyl MB and 1,9-dimethyl MB exhibited increased dark toxicity with concomitant higher phototoxicity compared to MB at a light dose of 7.2 J cm-2. While increasing the light dose as a function of the fluence rate increased the photocytotoxicity of MB, this had little effect on the methylated derivatives. In vitro chemical testing proved that successive methylation rendered the phenothiazinium chromophore both more resistant to reduction to its inactive leuco form, and also led to increased levels of singlet-oxygen production, thus providing a possible explanation for the increased toxicities of the methylated derivatives. Comparisons are made with the benzo[a]phenothiazinium photosensitizer, EtNBS.

Abstract
The photodynamic antibacterial properties of a closely related series of commercially available phenothiazinium dyes were tested against a range of pathogenic strains of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative organisms (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The photosensitisers were illuminated using a non-laser light source at a fluence of 1.75 mW cm-2 and this resulted in the enhancement of antibacterial activity in liquid culture. In several cases, illumination resulted in considerable decreases in the minimum lethal concentrations required, giving up to 100-fold increases in bactericidal activity.

Abstract
The potential for electron transfer quenching of rose bengal triplet (3RB2-) to compete with energy transfer quenching by oxygen was evaluated. Rate constants for oxidative and reductive quenching were measured in buffered aqueous solution, acetonitrile and in small unilamellar liposomes using laser flash photolysis. Biologically relevant quenchers were used that varied widely in structure, reduction potential and charge. Radical ion yields (phi i) were measured by monitoring the absorption of the rose bengal semireduced (RB.3-) and semioxidized (RB.-) radicals. The results in solution were analyzed as a function of the free energy for electron transfer (delta G) calculated using the Weller equation including electrostatic terms. Exothermic oxidative quenching was about 10-fold faster than exothermic reductive quenching in aqueous solution. The quenching rate constants decreased as delta G approached zero in both aqueous and acetonitrile solution. Exceptions to these generalizations were observed that could be rationalized by specific steric or electrostatic effects or by a change in mechanism. The results suggest that electron transfer reactions with some potential quenchers in cells could compete with formation of singlet oxygen [O2(1 delta g)]. Values of phi i were generally greater for reductive quenching and, for oxidative quenching, greater in acetonitrile than in buffer. Electron transfer quenching of 3RB2- in liposomes, below the phase transition temperature was slower than in solution for both lipid-soluble and water-soluble quenchers indicating that these reactions may not compete with formation of O2(1 delta g) during cell photosensitization.

Abstract
Benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD) is a potent photosensitizer in biological systems. There are four structural analogues of BPD. The analogues share the same chromophor, which results in their having almost identical optical spectra, extinction coefficients, and yields of singlet oxygen. Small structural differences affect their photosensitizing potency in various biological systems, and thus make them an interesting tool to study the structure-activity relationship. The ranking of the photosensitizing potency of the analogues differed depending on the test system. The more efficient photosensitization of tumor cell lines by the highly lipophilic monoacids as compared to that by less lipophilic diacids correlated positively with the partition coefficient, and was related to the rate of diffusion into the cells. However, in the assay systems where PDT targets were located in the membrane (red blood cells hemolysis, enveloped vesicular stomatitis virus, isolated mitochondria) there was very little difference in photosensitizing potency of BPD analogues. The results indicate that the evaluation of photosensitizers is affected by the test system and thus for photosensitizers screening purposes, the choice of the test system should be made based on the intended ultimate use.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was an early increase in intracellular Ca++ which preceded generalized lysis of thymocytes during photodynamic permeabilization. A method was developed that facilitated the simultaneous measurement in real time of permeabilization of the thymocyte cell membrane to Ca++, Mn++, and ethidium bromide during photodynamic action. Quin-2 loaded cells were illuminated in the presence of erythrosin B and the change in the fluorescence emission of the calcium-quin-2 complex was used to determine how soon and to what extent intracellular Ca++ changed following illumination. In the presence of extracellular manganese, the same system was used to determine how soon the cells became permeable to Mn++ or quin-2. It was determined that the fluorescence emission of the ethidium bromide-DNA complex was strong enough to be measured in the presence of the calcium-quin-2 complex. This enabled the concomitant determination of the elapsed time following illumination before ethidium bromide entered the cell. It was established that increased intracellular Ca++ was an early event in the photodynamic permeabilization of thymocytes that preceded permeabilization of the cell membrane to ethidium bromide, Mn++ or quin-2, or lysis.

Abstract
Fluorescein-labeled antibodies have little, if any, photodynamic effect because energy acquired by light absorption is rapidly dissipated in fluorescence. However, they can be easily and efficiently converted to selective photodynamic sensitizers by iodination under mild conditions. We have outlined general experimental procedures that can be used to turn a fluorescein-labeled anti-Escherichia coli antibody into a photodynamic sensitizer that selectively kills E. coli while sparing closely related Salmonella typhimurium. These results demonstrate that iodination did not destroy the specificity or activity of the antibody. This technique should be applicable to the large number of fluoresceinated antibodies that are commercially available. Thus, this strategy provides a simple way to rapidly prepare a large number of targeted phototoxic agents that can be used for the selective destruction with light of nearly any type of tissue or organism.

Abstract
The intensity and wavelength-dependence of Rose-Bengal-mediated photoinhibition of red blood cell acetylcholinesterase has been studied. Irradiation of dye-membrane suspensions with 308 nm laser excitation resulted in enzyme inhibition almost 50% greater than that obtained with 514 nm laser excitation. Sodium azide and argon purging greatly decreased the photosensitized enzyme inhibition at both wavelengths. Although Rose Bengal photosensitized enzyme inhibition more efficiently upon excitation into Sn (308 nm) than into S1 (514 nm), Stern-Volmer analysis of sodium azide quenching data gave similar quenching efficiencies at both wavelengths. Irradiation of dye-membrane suspensions with increasing intensities (Nd:YAG, 532 nm, 40 ps pulse duration) resulted in a decrease in enzyme inhibition. Saturation of the Rose Bengal fluorescence intensity and light transmission occurred with nearly the same intensity-dependence, suggesting that ground-state depletion occurs at the higher intensities. Our results demonstrate that excitation of a sensitizer into higher-lying excited singlet states can result in enhanced sensitizing efficiency. However, attempts to populate such states in Rose Bengal by sequential two-photon absorption using high intensities resulted only in ground-state depletion.

Abstract
This review discusses photomodification of biological membranes and model membrane systems. Current concepts of membrane structure are first reviewed briefly. The role of preillumination association of sensitizer with membranes as it relates to photomodification rate is discussed, as well as the role of singlet oxygen in membrane photomodification. Finally the characteristics of singlet oxygen generation in membranes are considered. The evidence clearly indicates that membrane photomodification cannot be understood based only on the properties of sensitizers and singlet oxygen in aqueous solution. Rather the properties of sensitizers in association with membranes are the determinants of membrane photomodifcation. These properties differ significantly in aqueous solution and in membranes.

Abstract
Fluorescein angiography is one of the most commonly used diagnostic techniques in modern ophthalmology. Prior to this study, recommendations on the phototoxicity of this technique were based on light levels alone (i.e., without fluorescein present). Using a rabbit model to demonstrate retinal damage, intravenous sodium fluorescein was found to reduce the amount of blue light needed to cause a phototoxic retinal lesion almost a log unit (from 1.6 to 0.2 W/cm(2)). Intravenous fluorescein also reduced the threshold for light damage to iris and cornea in the rabbit. The results suggest that blue light exposure should be minimized when sodium fluorescein is present in ocular tissue.

Abstract
A rat cerebral cortical slice preparation was used to study the response of transmitter release to the application of the food dye, Erythrosin B, a tetraiodinated derivative of fluorescein. Erythrosin B (100 microM) stimulated net release of previously taken up [3H]norepinephrine and [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The Erythrosin-induced release of GABA (the only transmitter studied) occurred in the absence of added Ca2+, and in the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX). Ultrastructural analysis of the vesicle content of frog neuromuscular junctions treated with Erythrosin B revealed a diminution in the number of synaptic vesicles present in the nerve terminal. By using fluorescein and some halogen-substituted derivatives including Erythrosin B, it was found that incubation with the unhalogenated compound caused no net release, whereas incubation with the iodine-, chlorine- or bromine-substituted compound did cause release. It was also found that somewhat greater release induced by Erythrosin B (at 100 microM) occurred in the light than in the dark. That Erythrosin B inhibits the Na+,K+,Mg2+-ATPase was confirmed in this preparation; it did so in both light and dark. The discrepancy between release and Na+,K+,Mg2+-ATPase blockade in the dark suggests that release either occurs by some other mechanism than by Na+,K+,Mg2+-ATPase blockade, or that an additional light-dependent process contributes to the release. We conclude that Erythrosin B can presumably induce net release of transmitters generally, that release does not occur via the TTX-sensitive Na+ channel, that release via vesicles does occur, and that light somewhat enhances the release.

Abstract
1. The anionic dye Erythrosin B increases quantal transmitter release from frog neuromuscular synapses. Experiments were performed to determine the role of ions and light in this presynaptic effect. 2. In calcium-free saline containing 1 mM-EGTA, Erythrosin B increased miniature end-plate potential (m.e.p.p.) frequency at a more rapid rate than in normal saline. 3. The dye's effect was influenced by extracellular calcium ions in a complex manner. Dye-induced release was minimal in Ringer solution containing 0.1 mM-calcium, and higher in calcium concentrations above or below 0.1 mM. 4. Erythrosin B-induced spontaneous release also occurred in saline which contained 1 mM-EDTA and was free of both calcium and magnesium ions. 5. Temporary removal of external sodium ions did not alter the progressive increase in m.e.p.p. frequency produced by the dye. 6. Elevation of the potassium concentration of the external medium (from 2 to 20 mM), which presumably depolarized nerve terminals and increased their calcium permeability, did not change the rate of increase of dye-induced release when preparations were in a reversed (outward) electrochemical gradient for calcium ions. 7. A reduction in light intensity of at least six orders of magnitude reduced the effect of Erythrosin B by 50%, suggesting that photoactivation is not the primary basis for the dye's action. 8. These results indicate that Erythrosin B is not acting solely by altering the ionic permeability of the presynaptic nerve terminal to calcium, magnesium, or sodium ions, or by altering the calcium metabolism of the terminal. The enhanced effect of the dye in calcium-free saline suggests that it may be competing with calcium at a common site, while the enhancement of its effect in elevated external calcium suggests that the dye may also increase the permeability of the nerve terminal to calcium ions.

Abstract
The microspectrofluorometric technique has been used to study the penetration and the localization of psoralen, 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen and 4'-aminomethyltrioxsalen in single living L-cells. The concentration of the different compounds inside the cell reached a plateau in 2 min with psoralen and aminomethyltrioxsalen and in 20 min with trioxsalen. Washing of the cells with culture medium produced only a partial removal of the three furocoumarins, distributed apparently in equivalent amount in the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Abstract
Erythrosin B inhibits Na,K-ATPase in rat brain tissue as demonstrated by studying glycoside binding, ATPase activity and ion fluxes. The potency of the noncompetitive inhibition of [3H]-ouabain binding by erythrosin B is influenced by glycoside concentration, monovalent cation concentration, and incubation time. [14C]-Erythrosin B binds to synaptic membranes prepared from rat cortex. Erythrosin B and some of its structural analogs inhibit both [3H]-ouabain and [14C]-erythrosin B binding, but ouabain and other glycosides do not inhibit the binding of [14C]-erythrosin B. Subcellular distributions of [3H]-ouabain and [14C]-erythrosin B binding in fractionated cortical tissue preparations are equivalent and parallel ATPase activity. The dissimilar response of [3H]-ouabain binding and [14C]-erythrosin B binding to changes in tissue preparation, incubation temperature, and partial solubilization of binding sites by deoxycholate (DOC) suggests two separate binding sites for erythrosin and ouabain to rat cortical membranes.

Abstract
Erythrosin B (Red Dye No. 3) and Rose Bengal photosensitize the destruction of the Ca2+:Mg2+-ATPase pump protein in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles with respective quantum efficiencies of (1.53 +/- 0.19) X 10(-3) and (1.25 +/- 0.18) X 10(-3). Damage to vesicle function was assayed by measurements of increases in passive Ca2+ permeability. Rates of passive Ca2+ movement into the SR lumen were increased by dye photosensitization in proportion to radiation absorbed. Active Ca2+ transport into SR vesicles was blocked independent of radiation absorbed by Erythrosin B and Rose Bengal at free concentrations of 0.69 microM and 1.16 microM, respectively. The photochemical lability of the Ca2+ pump protein and alterations in passive and active Ca2+ transport may be dependent on the concentration of the dye in the membrane. The photosensitization results may have implications with respect to the suitability of Erythrosin B usage in vivo, since the brightness of our irradiation source is comparable to that of sunlight at 480 nm.

Abstract
Erythrosin and light flashes induce voltage transients across bilayer membranes in the presence of transmembrane pH gradients. Fast voltage transients, which rise in less than 50 nsec and fall in approximately 500 nsec, are attributed to photo-deprotonation of dye sorbed in the glycerol region of phospholipid membranes. Six other halogenated xanthene dyes induce similar effects, which apparently resulted from triplet states of monoanionic dye. No photo-effects were observed with fluorescein.

Abstract
Photosensitized damage to biological molecules is the initial process in phototoxic responses. It is now recognized that many phototoxic compounds can photosensitize damage to more than one type of biological substrate. The in vitro light-initiated reactions of phototoxic compounds with DNA, soluble proteins and membrane components can be classified by their molecular mechanisms: (1) those in which an excited state of the phototoxic compound (or an unstable species derived from it) reacts directly with the biological substrate and (2) those in which a molecule derived from the phototoxic compound (a photoproduct or an activated oxygen species) reacts with the biological substrate. This paper describes the mechanisms by which chlorpromazine photosensitizes damage to membranes, protein and DNA and compares them to the mechanisms of photosensitization by psoralens, porphyrins, dyes, and other molecules.
