Abstract: | Glucoconjugated tri and tetra(meta-hydroxyphenyl)chlorins have been synthesized in order to explore how glucoconjugation of the macrocycle affects the photoactivity of the molecule. Internalization processes, photosensitizing efficacy of TPC(m-O-GluOH)(3) and TPC(m-O-GluOH)(4), in HT29 human adenocarcinoma cells have been compared to those of tetra(meta-hydroxyphenyl) chlorin (m-THPC, Foscan). The tetra glucoconjugated chlorin, TPC(m-O-GluOH)(4), was found to be poorly internalized and weakly photoactive. In contrast, the asymmetric and more amphiphilic compound TPC(m-O-GluOH)(3), exhibited superior phototoxicity compared to m-THPC. Drug concentration, temperature and sodium azide effects indicated that TPC(m-O-GluOH)(3) internalization partly proceeds via an active receptor-mediated endocytosis mechanism. Cellular uptake appeared as a saturable process and remained 30% lower than for mTHPC. However, a maximum phototoxicity in HT29 cells (survival fraction of 2+/-0.6%) were observed for concentration as low as 2 microM. A 4-fold higher concentration of m-THPC was necessary to observe the same level of photoactivity. This higher phototoxicity has been correlated to a greater mitochondrial affinity. On the basis of these results, work is in progress to further evaluate the potential of glycosylated chlorins in photodynamic therapy (PDT). |
