Возможности оценки эффективности фотосенсибилизаторов на основе определения пороговых доз, вызывающих гемолиз эритроцитов

Purpose: To find out a technique for determining the effectiveness of porphyrin-type photosensitizers with concentrations which cause hemolysis in erythrocytes (hemolysis threshold). The hemolysis threshold is found under the following conditions: irradiation in the Soret band with standard parameters – power density, exposure dose, irradiation time. Material and methods. Phototherapeutic device “AST” (LLC “Pankov-medical”) – average power 0.5 W, wavelength ≈ 405 nm. Rat blood erythrocytes. “Multiscan MS” device manufactured by Labsystems, Finland. Preparation “Dimegin”, hematoporphyrin derivative; preparation “Photoditazine” (LLC “VETA-GRAND”), chlorine E6 derivative. Results. On analyzing the results obtained after experimentation with the abovementioned two preparations, it was shown that the developed technique has a high efficacy. It was also shown that the studied photosensitizers are equally effective when irradiated in the Soret band. Conclusion. The developed technique is simple and easy to use. It helps to assess the efficacy of various photosensitizers thus, facilitating the selection of their necessary concentrations for managing different diseases.
