β¦ Synopsis
The use of steady state fluorescence spectroscopy in the detection and monitoring of potential photochemotherapeutic agents is examined. Problems associated with both in vitro and in vivo fluorescence measurements are investigated, and typical data are presented. Recent results on the use of fluorescence in pharmacokinetic studies are discussed, and the relative merits of in vitro vs. in vivo methods are outlined.

The spectroscopic and biological properties of the new photosensitizer lutetium texaphyrin (Lu-Tex) were assessed in vitro and in vivo on a C26 colon carcinoma model, in comparison with hematoporphyrin (Hp), photofrin II (PII) and chlorin e 6 (Chl). Strong binding of Lu-Tex to lipid bilayer membrane
Four recently synthesized cationic zinc(II)-benzonaphthaporphyrazines 1β4 were studied in vitro and in vivo for their photodynamic therapy (PDT) effectivity. The photophysical measurements showed that in solution and in Cremophor micelles all examined compounds exhibit very high absorption intensity
Minimal erythema dose of ultraviolet light correlated significantly with the UV-sensitivity of fibroblast cells from 5 patients with xeroderma pigmentosum, 13 patients with keratinocytic neoplasms of the skin, and 21 control subjects, but not with that of cells from 6 patients with photosensitive de
