Abstract
While photochemical transformations with sunlight almost exclusively utilize the UV-vis part of the solar spectrum, the majority of the photons emitted by the sun have frequencies in the near-infrared region. Phthalocyanines show high structural similarity to the naturally occurring light-harvesting porphyrins, chlorins, and mainly bacteriochlorins and are also known for being efficient and affordable near-infrared light absorbers as well as triplet sensitizers for the production of singlet oxygen. Although having been neglected for a long time in synthetic organic chemistry due to their low solubility and high tendency toward aggregation, their unique photophysical properties and chemical robustness make phthalocyanines attractive photocatalysts for the application in near-infrared-light-driven synthesis strategies. Herein, we report a cheap, simple, and efficient photocatalytic protocol, which is easily scalable under continuous-flow conditions. Various phthalocyanines were studied as near-infrared photosensitizers in oxidative cyanations of tertiary amines to generate α-aminonitriles, a synthetically versatile compound class.

Abstract
Water vapor absorbs well in the infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Absorption of radiant energy by water or water droplets leads to formation of exclusion zone water that possesses peculiar physico-chemical properties. In the course of this study, normally functioning and damaged alkaline phosphatase, horseradish peroxidase and catalase were treated with humid air irradiated with infrared light with a wavelength in the range of 1270 nm and referred to as coherent humidity (CoHu). One-minute long treatment with CoHu helped to partially protect enzymes from heat inactivation, mixed function oxidation, and loss of activity due to partial unfolding. Authors suggest that a possible mechanism underlying the observed effects involves altering the physicochemical properties of aqueous media while treatment of the objects with CoHu where CoHu acts as an intermediary.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an effective treatment for certain types of solid tumors. The combination of PDT with other therapies has been extensively investigated in recent years to improve its effectiveness and expand its applications. This focused review summarizes the development of a prodrug system in which anticancer drugs are activated locally at tumor sites during PDT treatment. The development of a singlet-oxygen-sensitive linker that can be conveniently conjugated to various drugs and efficiently cleaved to release intact drugs is recapitulated. The initial design of prodrugs, preliminary efficacy evaluation, pharmacokinetics study, and optimization using quantitative systems pharmacology is discussed. Current treatment optimization in animal models using physiologically based a pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling approach is also explored.

Abstract
Theories of radiationless conversions and of chemical processes were employed to
design better photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In addition to
photostability and intense absorption in the near infrared, these
photosensitizers were required to generate high yields of long-lived triplet
states that could efficiently transfer their energy, or an electron, to
molecular oxygen. The guidance provided by the theories was combined with the
ability to synthesize large quantities of pure photosensitizers and with the
biological screening of graded hydrophilicities/lipophilicities. The theoretical
prediction that halogenated sulfonamide tetraphenylbacteriochlorins could
satisfy all the criteria for ideal PDT photosensitizers was verified
experimentally.

Abstract
The roles played by singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) in photodynamic therapy are not fully understood yet. In particular, the mobility of (1)O(2) within cells has been a subject of debate for the last two decades. In this work, we report on the kinetics of (1)O(2) formation, diffusion, and decay in human skin fibroblasts. (1)O(2) has been photosensitized by two water-soluble porphyrins targeting different subcellular organelles, namely the nucleus and lysosomes, respectively. By recording the time-resolved near-IR phosphorescence of (1)O(2) and that of its precursor the photosensitizer's triplet state, we find that the kinetics of singlet oxygen formation and decay are strongly dependent on the site of generation. (1)O(2) photosensitized in the nucleus is able to escape out of the cells while (1)O(2) photosensitized in the lysosomes is not. Despite showing a lifetime in the microsecond time domain, (1)O(2) decay is largely governed by interactions with the biomolecules within the organelle where it is produced. This observation may reconcile earlier views that singlet oxygen-induced photodamage is highly localized, while its lifetime is long enough to diffuse over long distances within the cells.

Abstract
The intrinsic ability of all antibodies to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from singlet dioxygen (1O2*) via the antibody-catalyzed water-oxidation pathway (ACWOP) has triggered a rethink of the potential role of antibodies both in immune defense, inflammation, and disease. It has been shown that photochemical activation of this pathway is highly bactericidal. More recently, cholesterol oxidation by-products that may arise from the ACWOP have been discovered in vivo and are receiving a great deal of attention as possible key players in atherosclerosis and diseases of protein misfolding, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines (Pcs) and naphthalocyanines (Ncs) are being extensively studied as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. They strongly absorb clinically useful red light, with maxima around 670 nm and 770 nm respectively. Chelated with appropriate diamagnetic metal ions, they exhibit high triplet yields and long triplet lifetimes. Energy transfer from the triplet dye to ground-state oxygen to yield singlet oxygen appears to be the main photosensitizing pathway in biological systems. Underivatized Pcs and Ncs can be incorporated in liposomes for in vivo administration. Sulphonation renders the dyes water soluble but also enhances dimerization to yield photochemically inactive aggregates. Tumour retention and cell membrane penetration of the dyes are strongly affected by the polarity of the macrocycle as well as the nature of the central metal ion and axial ligands. Among the sulphonated dyes, amphiphilic mono- and disulphonated derivatives exhibit particularly good cell membrane-penetrating properties, although the more highly sulphonated dyes show better tumour retention in vivo. At least in vitro, Pc dyes are more photoactive than the corresponding Nc dyes, which probably reflects the lower photostability of the latter.

Abstract
For effective photosensitization of malignant tumours, a sensitizer should exhibit appreciable absorption at red to near-infrared wavelengths and generate cytotoxic species via oxygen-dependent photochemical reactions. These photosensitization mechanisms rely on the excitation of the sensitizer from its electronic ground state to the fluorescent singlet state, which is in turn transformed into the longer-lived triplet state. Efficient formation of this metastable state is required because it is the interaction of the triplet state with tissue components that generates cytotoxic species such as singlet oxygen. Measurement of fluorescence provides a useful means of probing the sensitizer, particularly because detection sensitivities for both the triplet state and the cytotoxic singlet oxygen are much lower. With the development of chemically well-defined sensitizers, in vivo fluorescence detection has the potential to provide quantitative assessment of photoactive sensitizer distributions. The reactive properties of sensitizer triplet states and species such as singlet oxygen can result in significant sensitizer photodegradation, which may appear undesirable but can be exploited in vivo under certain conditions.

Abstract
As photodynamic therapy (PDT) continues to develop and find new clinical indications, robust individualized dosimetry is warranted to achieve effective treatments. We posit that the most direct PDT dosimetry is achieved by monitoring singlet oxygen (1O2), the major cytotoxic species generated photochemically during PDT. Its detection and quantification during PDT have been long-term goals for PDT dosimetry and the development of techniques for this, based on detection of its near-infrared luminescence emission (1270 nm), is at a noteworthy stage of development. We begin by discussing the theory behind singlet-oxygen luminescence dosimetry (SOLD) and the seminal contributions that have brought SOLD to its current status. Subsequently, technology developments that could potentially improve SOLD are discussed, together with future areas of research, as well as the potential limitations of this method. We conclude by examining the major thrusts for future SOLD applications: as a tool for quantitative photobiological studies, a point of reference to evaluate other PDT dosimetry techniques, the optimal means to evaluate new photosensitizers and delivery methods and, potentially, a direct and robust clinical dosimetry system.

Abstract
Photosensitized peroxidation of membrane lipids has been implicated in skin pathologies such as phototoxicity, premature aging, and carcinogenesis, and may play a role in the antitumor effects of photodynamic therapy. Lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) are prominent early products of photoperoxidation that typically arise via singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) attack. Nascent LOOHs can have several possible fates, including (i) iron-catalyzed one-electron reduction to chain-initiating free radicals, which exacerbate peroxidative damage, (ii) selenoperoxidase-catalyzed two-electron reduction to relatively innocuous alcohols, and (iii) translocation to other membranes, where reactions noted in (i) or (ii) might take place. In addition, LOOHs, like other stress-associated lipid metabolites/peroxidation products (e.g., arachidonate, diacylglycerol, ceramide, 4-hydroxynonenal), may act as signaling molecules. Intermembrane transfer of LOOHs may greatly expand their signaling range. When photogenerated rapidly and site-specifically, e.g., in mitochondria, LOOHs may act as early mediators of apoptotic cell death. This review will focus on these various aspects, with special attention to the role of LOOHs in photooxidative signaling.

Abstract
A novel Zn(II)-phthalocyanine (1). peripherally substituted with four bis(N,N,N-trimethyl)amino-2-propyloxy groups prepared by chemical synthesis is shown to be an efficient photodynamic sensitizer with a quantum yield of 0.6 for singlet oxygen generation in neat water, which is reduced to about 0.3 in phosphate-buffered saline. The physicochemical properties of 1 in both the ground and the electronically excited states strongly depend on the nature of the medium; in particular, aggregation of 1 was favoured by polar media of high ionic strength. Compound 1 exhibited an appreciable affinity for a typical Gram-positive bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus) and a typical Gram-negative bacterium (Escherichia coli). Both bacterial strains were extensively inactivated upon 5 min-irradiation with 675 nm light in the presence of 1 microM photosensitizer, even though the binding of 1 to the two bacterial cells appears to occur according to different pathways. In particular, E. coli cells underwent initial photodamage at the level of specific proteins in the outer wall, thus promoting the penetration of the photosensitizer to the cytoplasmic membrane where some enzymes critical for cell survival were inactivated.

Abstract
Unsaturated lipids in cell membranes, including phospholipids and cholesterol, are well-known targets of oxidative modification, which can be induced by a variety of stresses, including ultraviolet A (UVA)- and visible light-induced photodynamic stress. Photodynamic lipid peroxidation has been associated with pathological conditions such as skin phototoxicity and carcinogenesis, as well as therapeutic treatments such as antitumor photodynamic therapy (PDT). Lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs), including cholesterol hydroperoxides (ChOOHs), are important non-radical intermediates of the peroxidative process which can (i) serve as in situ reporters of type I vs. type II chemistry; (ii) undergo one-electron or two-electron reductive turnover which determines whether peroxidative injury is respectively intensified or suppressed; and (iii) mediate signaling cascades which either fortify antioxidant defenses of cells or evoke apoptotic death if oxidative pressure is too great. The purpose of this article is to review current understanding of photodynamic (UVA- or visible light-induced) lipid peroxidation with a special focus on LOOH generation and reactivity. Future goals in this area, many of which depend on continued development of state-of-the-art analytical techniques, will also be discussed.

Abstract
In cells under oxidative attack, membrane Ch, through the formation of its signature hydroperoxide and diol products, can serve as a unique detector in situ, allowing discrimination between 1O2 and free radical intermediacy. Of the two techniques described for analyzing Ch oxidation products, TLC with color development suffices for preliminary, mainly qualitative product screening, whereas a high-performance approach such as HPLC-EC(Hg) is advised when maximum resolution and sensitivity of quantitation are necessary. By using these strategies, one can monitor the formation of 1O2, for example, in a biologically relevant milieu (membrane), thus avoiding the difficulties associated with external detection, e.g., by physical means. These approaches would be valuable for assessing reaction mechanisms for various oxidative agents of biomedical importance, including environmental phototoxins and the rapidly emerging family of phototherapeutic drugs. Although photodynamic stress has been emphasized, the methods described should have broad applicability in the elucidation of oxidative mechanisms.

Abstract
Diffuse-reflectance laser flash photolysis has been used to record transient spectra and decay kinetics of the photodynamic therapy sensitizer disulfonated aluminium phthalocyanine in two murine cancer cell lines, P815 derived from white mouse mast cells, and EL4, a lymphoblast derived from black mouse lymphocytes. In contrast to results with bacterial cells and yeasts, no transient other than the triplet state of the sensitizer was detected, suggesting that unlike the case in microbes, Type I electron-transfer processes play no role in the photodestruction of the murine cells studied.

Abstract
Frequency domain fluorescence measurement using two diode lasers with amplitude modulation in the kHz range yields a signal component at the sum frequency. This intermodulation phenomenon was observed in an aqueous solution of haematoporphyrin (HP) and could be related to triplet state population kinetics. This indirect measurement technique may allow triplet decay time measurement during photodynamic therapy (PDT) enabling monitoring of the type II phototoxic damage rate.

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
Zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPC) is a new photosensitizer currently undergoing phase I and II clinical trials at Lausanne's CHUV hospital for the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of early cancer in the upper aerodigestive tract. Activated oxygen species other than singlet oxygen produced during the photosensitization of ZnPC in liposomes have been examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping and by the cytochrome c reduction method. Visible light irradiation of ZnPC associated with liposomes in the presence of the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-1-oxide (DMPO) gives an EPR spectrum characteristic of the DMPO-hydroperoxyl radical spin adduct (DMPO-.OOH). Superoxide anion attains a level of 1 microM min-1 20 min after the start of irradiation as determined by the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c. The yield of O2.- is strongly enhanced by physiological electron donors. An EPR spectrum characteristic of the DMPO-hydroxyl radical spin adduct (DMPO-.OH) is also observed. The addition of dimethyl sulphoxide or ethanol produces additional hyperfine splittings due to the respective hydroxyalkyl radical products, indicating the presence of free .OH. DMPO-.OH is significantly inhibited by desferrioxamine or catalase. Conversely, this adduct is enhanced by hydrogen peroxide. These data demonstrate the ability of ZnPC in liposomes to photoreact effectively by an electron transfer mechanism. Such type I processes may add to the effects of singlet oxygen in ZnPC-mediated PDT.

Abstract
The effectiveness of photodynamic therapy using pulsed sources was evaluated using a mathematical model describing the time-dependent excitation and de-excitation of the photosensitizer molecule. Using the various numerical data available in the literature on haematoporphyrin we calculated that the effectiveness of pulsed excitation in PDT is identical to that of CW excitation for peak fluence rates below 4 x 10(8) W m-2. Above this threshold the effectiveness drops significantly. In practice this effect will occur with sources with high pulse energy and low repetition frequency. The commonly used dye lasers pumped by either a Cu vapour laser or a frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser have a PDT effectiveness identical to that of a CW source of the same wavelength and the same average fluence rate.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the triplet state lifetimes of various porphyrins are increased by several orders of magnitude when they are bound to lens protein. Flash photolysis studies of mesotetra (p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) on intact bovine lenses indicated a biexponential decay of the triplet state with lifetimes of 160 microsecond and 1.6 ms. Here we extend those measurements to TPPS associated with intact human lenses. Steady-state fluorescence measurements indicate that TPPS binds to both young and old human lenses. In an intact young human lens, the TPPS triplet state is observed to decay biexponentially with lifetimes of 50 and 680 microsecond. As the age of the lens increases, the lifetime of the shorter-lived component lengthens while that of the longer-lived component decreases slightly. In order human lenses, the two lifetimes coalesce and the triplet decay exhibits purely monoexponential behavior. These photophysical characteristics apparently are due to age-related modification(s) of the protein in the human lens resulting in an increasingly more homogeneous environment around the porphyrin.

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
The photosensitizing properties of tetrasulphonated Al- and Zn-phthalocyanines (AlPcS4 and ZnPcS4) in lymphoma cells were studied as a function of the pre/post-illumination incubation time. Photocytotoxicity increased with incubation time, ranging from a transient cell-cycle arrest to cell killing. Under all experimental conditions, the phototoxicity of ZnPcS4 was markedly higher than that of AlPcS4. The primary photoprocesses initiated by metallo-phthalocyanines (MePcS4) in the cells were probed with DMPO/esr spin-trapping techniques. Under all incubation conditions the intracellularly bound MePcS4 sensitized formation of three different types of DMPO spin-adducts: DMPO/OH (hydroxyl radical), DMPO/R (organic carbon-centred radical(s)) and an unidentified simple nitroxyl, referred to as DMPO/ox. The yields of trapped radicals depended on the length of the incubation with the dyes prior to illumination and the formation of spin-adducts was shown to be intracellular. The ability of DMPO to protect cells from the photocytotoxic effects of Al- and ZnPcS4, combined with the generation of carbon-centred spin-adducts is direct evidence for the involvement of free-radical-mediated damage of cellular constituents.

Abstract
Time-resolved measurements were made of near-infrared emission from 5-(N-hexadecanoyl)amino-eosin-labeled L1210 leukemia cells following pulsed-laser excitation. The cells were suspended in phosphate-buffered saline made with deuterium oxide solvent. A significant fraction of the emission occurring 10-80 microseconds after the laser pulse was due to singlet oxygen. This singlet-oxygen emission is believed to result from singlet oxygen generated near the cell-membrane surface, where 5-(N-hexadecanoyl)amino eosin is known to concentrate, and then diffusing out into the buffer. The intensity and the kinetics of the experimentally observed singlet-oxygen emission were in excellent agreement with the predictions of a theoretical one-dimensional model of singlet-oxygen diffusion and quenching. During the 10-80 microseconds time period studied, most of the singlet oxygen was located in the buffer. Thus, the use of water-soluble singlet-oxygen quenchers, such as histidine, provide one means of separating the singlet-oxygen emission from other sources of light during this time interval.

Abstract
Triggered release from liposomes composed of semi-synthetic 1-alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (plasmalogen) lipids has been demonstrated using either aerobic visible illumination or low pH to induce leakage. The photodynamic release system consists of three functional components: (1) small (less than 1000 A) unilamellar plasmalogen vesicles (SUVs) containing encapsulated glucose, (2) oxygen and (3) zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) incorporated within the hydrophobic region of the SUV membrane. Irradiation (lambda greater than 640 nm) at 37 degrees C of air-saturated 1-alk-1'-enyl-2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PlasPPC)/1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) (8:1, mol/mol) liposomes at physiologically relevant temperatures results in glucose release rates that are twice those of the corresponding dark control. Photolysis of argon-saturated PlasPPC/DPPC liposomes or of identical vesicles lacking either ZnPc or the plasmalogen vinyl ether bond exhibit glucose release curves which are indistinguishable from the dark control. Irradiation under identical conditions, but in the presence of 100 mM sodium azide, also results in no increased rate of glucose release above that of the dark control. TLC analysis indicates that oxidized lipid species are produced only in air-saturated, irradiated plasmalogen liposomes. The acid lability of the plasmalogen vinyl ether linkage has also been used to trigger release of entrapped calcein. At pH 4.2, the release rate at 37 degrees C is increased 4-fold over rates observed at pH 8. TLC analysis indicates formation of a lysoplasmalogen product. Taken together, these results indicate that both photodynamic and acid triggering can be used to increase plasmalogen liposome permeability and suggest that these liposomes are potentially useful for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
As part of a wider programme to identify novel photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, the ability of a number of phthalocyanine dyes, including some novel copper phthalocyanine derivatives with a range of water solubilities, to produce potentially cytotoxic species in solution was examined. The experiments were performed in dimethylformamide using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPIBF) as the scavenger. The study revealed that all the dyes tested produced DPIBF photobleaching on illumination in vitro, but with widely different (greater than 12x) rates. The possible correlation of DPIBF photobleaching rates with a number of the dyes' properties is discussed.

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
Singlet oxygen lifetimes for detergent-dispersed L1210 leukemia cells in deuterium oxide buffer were measured by following the decay of 1270 nm phosphorescence. Four photosensitizers and two detergents were studied. Stern-Volmer plots were linear over the cell concentration range studied (0-10(7) cells/mL). The singlet-oxygen quenching constants obtained depended somewhat upon the specific combination of detergent and photosensitizer used. Extrapolation of the singlet-oxygen lifetime data to "100%" cell concentration (1.39 +/- 0.04 x 10(9) cells/mL) and correction for the contribution of the water solvent gave a singlet-oxygen lifetime between 0.17 and 0.32 microseconds for the L1210 leukemia cell. The theoretical contributions of various types of biological molecules within the L1210 cell to the total singlet-oxygen quenching were calculated from their concentrations and their quenching constants. These calculations suggest that proteins will quench most of the singlet-oxygen. Only about 7% of the singlet-oxygen is quenched by water.

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-.

Abstract
Previous steady state and time resolved spectroscopic studies on porphyrins have shown that the triplet lifetimes of those sensitizers that bind to lens proteins are lengthened by several orders of magnitude. Presented here is an extension of this experiment to measure these transients in an intact bovine lens. As demonstrated by steady state fluorescence spectroscopy and flash photolysis, mesotetra (p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) binds to lens proteins. In air-saturated aqueous solution, TPPS has a triplet lifetime of 2 microseconds. In an intact bovine lens the triplet state decayed via biexponential kinetics with lifetimes of 0.16 and 1.6 microseconds. In addition to a lengthening of the lifetime there was a red shift in the triplet transient spectra of 10-20 nm of the porphyrin in the intact lenses.

Abstract
Near-infrared emission (1170-1475 nm) was studied from L1210 leukemia cells incubated with polyporphyrin (fractionated hematoporphyrin derivative), suspended in deuterium oxide buffer, and then exposed to light. Following pulsed laser excitation, the near-infrared emission decayed in two phases. The first phase of the emission (0-2 microseconds) was principally due to polyporphyrin fluorescence. The second phase of the emission (20-90 microseconds) was due mainly to singlet oxygen. Evidence supporting the assignment of the second phase emission to singlet oxygen included a spectral analysis showing a peak near 1270 nm and reductions in the second phase emission caused by the singlet oxygen quenchers, histidine, carnosine, and water. The second phase emission decayed in a biexponential manner with lifetimes of 4.5 +/- 0.5 and 49 +/- 4 microseconds. Most of the singlet oxygen in the second phase emission was likely due to singlet oxygen that was generated near the surface of the L1210 leukemia cells and then diffused into the deuterium oxide buffer. Direct measurements of singlet oxygen phosphorescence at 1270 nm may prove to be a useful analytical technique for studying photochemical generation of singlet oxygen in cultured cells.

Abstract
NHIK 3025 cells were incubated with Photofrin II (PII) and/or tetra (3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (3THPP) and exposed to light at either 400 or 420 nm, i.e. at the wavelengths of the maxima of the fluorescence excitation spectra of the two dyes. The kinetics of the photodegradation of the dyes were studied. When present separately in the cells the two dyes are photodegraded with a similar quantum yield. 3THPP is degraded 3-6 times more efficiently by light quanta absorbed by the fluorescent fraction of 3THPP than by light quanta absorbed by the fluorescent fraction of PII present in the same cells. The distance diffused by the reactive intermediate, supposedly mainly 1O2, causing the photodegradation was estimated to be on the order of 0.01-0.02 micron, which corresponds to a lifetime of 0.01-0.04 microsecond of the intermediate in the cells. PII has binding sites at proteins in the cells as shown by an energy transfer band in the fluorescence excitation spectrum at 290 nm. During light exposure this band decays faster than the Soret band of PII under the present conditions. Photoproducts (1O2 etc.) generated at one binding site contribute significantly in the destruction of remote binding sites.

Abstract
Studying the fluorescence decay of chromophores, either used as fluorescent labels to stain specific biomolecules or as photosensitizers to produce irreversible chemical or physico-chemical modifications on biological substrates, is being demonstrated to be a valuable method of investigating the interactions underlying a variety of phenomena. In fact, all possible primary steps in a photosensitized biological system are phenomena that may occur during the chromophore S1 lifetime and act as quenching mechanisms of the S1 state. Thus they can be identified, and the relative importance of the corresponding transient species quantitatively determined, with suitable techniques of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The examples discussed in this paper concern both tumor photosensitizing drugs, such as anthracyclines and porphyrins, and skin sensitizers (e.g. furocoumarins).

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is thought to be the cytotoxic agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT) with current photosensitizers. Direct monitoring of 1O2 concentration in vivo would be a valuable tool in studying biological response. Attempts were made to measure 1O2 IR luminescence during PDT of cell suspensions and two murine tumour models using the photosensitizers Photofrin II and aluminium chlorosulphonated phthalocyanine. Instrumentation was virtually identical to that devised by Parker in the one positive report of in vivo luminescence detection in the literature. Despite the fact that our treatments caused cell killing and tissue necrosis, we were unable to observe 1O2 emission under any conditions. We attribute this negative result to a reduction in 1O2 lifetime in the cellular environment. Quantitative calibration of our system allowed us to estimate that the singlet oxygen lifetime in tissue is less than 0.5 microsecond. Some technical improvements are suggested which would improve detector performance and perhaps make such measurements feasible.

Abstract
The photophysical properties of tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (H2TSPP), its tin (IV) complex (SnTSPP), aluminium(III) trisulfonatophthalocyanine (AIPCS), and the corresponding zinc(II) complex (ZnPCS), have been measured in H2O, D2O, and upon binding to human serum albumin (HSA). The triplet excited states of the various macrocyclic dyes generate singlet molecular oxygen, O2(1 delta g) in high quantum yield upon illumination in O2-saturated solution, even in the presence of HSA. The triplet states also abstract an electron from 4-aminophenol, forming the radical anion of the macrocycle. Quenching rate constants and quantum yields have been measured for the various processes in the presence and absence of HSA. It is found that HSA binds all the dyes at nonspecific sites close to the interface in such a manner that the dyes remain accessible to species residing in the solution phase. Dyes that do not possess axial ligands complexed to the central cation (e.g. H2TSPP, ZnPCS) are able to bind also at a deeper, more specific site on the protein where they are protected from species in solution. Under such conditions, triplet quenching by 4-aminophenol is restricted to long-distance electron tunnelling, for which the rate is relatively slow.
