Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of 132-hydroxy-bacteriopheophorbid-a methyl ester (132-OH-BPME) and octa-(alpha) -butyloxy-zinc phthalocyanine (8-(alpha) -bo-Zn-Pc) were studied in mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma. Absorption spectroscopy was used to measure the photosensitizers concentrations. High 132- OH-BPME and 8-(alpha) -bo-Zn-Pc uptakes were recorded in the parenchymatous organs (liver, lung), with 8-(alpha) -bo-Zn-Pc long retention. The malignant tissues accumulated 132-OH- BPME of more than 20 folds than 8-(alpha) -bo-Zn-Pc at all incubation times. 8-(alpha) -bo-Zn-Pc concentrations in the skin and the muscle were lower than 132-OH-BPME concentrations at any interval period, but also, the 8- (alpha) -bo-Zn-Pc retained longer until 168 h. PDT with 132-OH-BPME will be more effective than with 8-(alpha) -bo- Zn-Pc where it has more concentrations in the malignant tissues.
