We report the development of a novel simple experimental method which allows the comparison of new photosensitizers based on their production of reactive oxygen species. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay permits the monitoring of several substances (sensitizer, reactant and oxidized end product) simultaneously on a single chromatogram. Photoreactions were monitored throughout their course by the HPLC assay surveying the sensitizers' efficiency of singlet oxygen production by the oxidative decomposition of luminol. Several photosensitizers were tested: Rose Bengal, Methylene Blue, Protoporphyrin IX, Photosan III, Photofrin, Hypericin and Pseudohypericin. Additionally, photoreactions were monitored by a standard pO(2) detection system. The measurements of the two detection methods were strongly correlated. Rose Bengal proved to be the most efficient photosensitizer, clearly decreasing the luminol concentration and causing a corresponding increase in aminophthalic acid. Our experiments show that when factors necessary for photochemical reactions are absent or are blocked (antioxidants), no reaction can be detected.
我们报告了一种新型简单实验方法的开发,该方法可根据新型光敏剂产生活性氧的情况对其进行比较。高效液相色谱(HPLC)测定法能够在一张色谱图上同时监测几种物质(敏化剂、反应物和氧化终产物)。通过HPLC测定法监测整个光反应过程,该方法通过鲁米诺的氧化分解来检测敏化剂产生单线态氧的效率。测试了几种光敏剂:孟加拉玫瑰红、亚甲蓝、原卟啉IX、光森三号、卟吩姆钠、金丝桃素和假金丝桃素。此外,通过标准的pO(2)检测系统监测光反应。两种检测方法的测量结果高度相关。孟加拉玫瑰红被证明是最有效的光敏剂,它能明显降低鲁米诺浓度,并导致邻苯二甲酸氨基相应增加。我们的实验表明,当光化学反应所需的因素不存在或被阻断(抗氧化剂)时,无法检测到反应。
