The pharmacokinetics of Zn-phthalocyanine (Zn-Pc) in mice bearing a transplanted MS-2 fibrosarcoma has been studied using dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes and low density lipoproteins (LDL) as drug delivery systems. LDL induce a higher Zn-Pc uptake by the tumour and improve the selectivity of tumour targeting as compared to DPPC liposomes. Experimental photodynamic therapy (PDT) of the MS-2 fibrosarcoma has been performed using liposome-delivered Zn-Pc and the efficiency of tumour necrosis has been measured following four different irradiation protocols. We found that Zn-Pc doses as low as 0.07-0.35 mg kg-1 are sufficient for inducing an efficient tumour response that is linearly dependent on the injected dose. The amount of Zn-Pc in the tumour decreases very slowly as a function of time, hence PDT gives satisfactory results even if performed at relatively long time intervals after administration.
以二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱(DPPC)脂质体和低密度脂蛋白(LDL)作为药物递送系统,研究了锌酞菁(Zn-Pc)在移植了MS-2纤维肉瘤的小鼠体内的药代动力学。与DPPC脂质体相比,LDL可诱导肿瘤对Zn-Pc的摄取增加,并提高肿瘤靶向的选择性。使用脂质体递送的Zn-Pc对MS-2纤维肉瘤进行了实验性光动力疗法(PDT),并在四种不同的照射方案后测量了肿瘤坏死的效率。我们发现,低至0.07-0.35 mg kg-1的Zn-Pc剂量足以诱导有效的肿瘤反应,该反应与注射剂量呈线性相关。肿瘤中Zn-Pc的量随时间下降非常缓慢,因此即使在给药后较长时间间隔进行PDT也能取得满意的结果。
