Photodynamic therapeutic effect of iminodiacetic acid modified tetraphenylporphyrin in mice bearing H22 liver cancer / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the physical/chemical properties and effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) of iminodiacetic acid modified tetraphenylporphyrin on mice bearing H22 liver cancer.Methods The UV absorbance spectrum,singlet oxygen yield and lipid-water partition coefficient were measured by UV spectrophotometry.Mice bearing H22 liver cancer as animal model were divided into control group (no drug,no light),light treated group (no drug,only light),drug treated group (only drug,no light),experimental once group (with drug and light,once) and experimental twice group (with drug and light,twice,PDT twice).Tumor inhibition rate and index of liver,spleen,lung,thymus of the mice were calculated to evaluate the antitumor activity of iminodiacetic acid modified tetraphenyl porphyrin-PDT.Results The iminodiacetic acid modified tetraphenylporphyrin had absorption at 650 nm,while its singlet oxygen yield and lipid-water partition coefficient were 2.30 and 0.52,respectively.No antitumor effect on mice bearing H22liver cancer for light treated group and drug treated group respectively.However,significant antitumor effect (P＜0.001)was found at experimental group.The maximum tumor inhibition rate could be 95.15％ for PDT twice group.No significant differences were observed on weight gain and liver,lung,spleen,thymus index in each group.Conclusion Iminodiacetic acid modified tetraphenylporphyrin with high singlet oxygen yield,low toxicity and significant in vivo anti-tumor activity,is suitable to be developed as an anti-tumor drug candidate for photodynamic therapy.
