Screening of phenothiazine photosensitizers that can be used to inactivate viruses in red blood cells / 中国输血杂志

9.9Log10 bacteriophage R 17 Conclusion Alkylation of the phenothiazine ring increased the potential of inactivating virus and decreased the damage to red blood cells? M007 might be an alternative phenothiazine dye that can be used to inactivate viruses in red blood cells?

Effect of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ quenchers on virus inactivation and red cell cytotoxicity / 中国输血杂志

Objective To research the effect of Hydroxyl radical(type Ⅰ mechanism)and singlet oxygen(type Ⅱ mechanism)on virus inactivation and red cell cytotoxicity induced by DMMB and M007 phototreatment.Methods Hydroxyl radical quenchers mannitol and glycerol,singlet oxygen quenchers sodium azide and tryptophan were employed to investigated their ability to inhibit the inactivation of bacteriophage Phi6 and red cell cytotoxicity by induced DMMB and M007 phototreatment.Results Singlet oxygen quenchers could inhibit the inactivation of bacteriophage Phi6 obviously, whereas hydroxyl quenchers hardly affect the inactivation of bacteriophage Phi6.Both type of quenchers could reduce the hemolysis caused by CMMB or M007 phototreatment.Conclusion Viral inactivation of DMMB and M007 phototreatment is mainly through type Ⅱ mechanism, both type I and type Ⅱ mechanisms contribute to red cell cytotoxicity.
