Abstract

Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is widely considered to be the predominant cytotoxic agent for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and the ¹O₂ quantum yield is a key characteristic for the newly developed photosensitizers. In this study, ¹O₂ generation from the HiPorfin is monitored indirectly by using the fluorescence probe Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG). The good linear relationship between the concentration of HiPorfin and the initial reaction rate of SOSG is observed, and the ¹O₂ quantum yield of HiPorfin is determined to be 0.124 ± 0.001, as compared to the standard reference of Rose Bengal. The results suggest that SOSG can be useful for ¹O₂ quantum yield determination for the potential photosensitizers in PDT.
