Definitions
- the present invention relates to a photodynamic diagnostic agent and a photobleaching preventing agent. More specifically, the present invention relates to a photodynamic diagnostic agent containing a precursor of porphyrins and gallic acids. The present invention also relates to a detection method used for photodynamic diagnosis and a photodynamic diagnosis method.
- Photodynamic diagnosis a compound that reacts with light (photosensitizer) is administered, and the target site is identified by irradiating light
- Photodynamic diagnosis for example, a porphyrin photosensitizer or a chlorin photosensitizer is administered to a patient, accumulated in a diseased tissue, and irradiated with light having a wavelength of around 400 nm. This is a diagnostic method for identifying the presence or absence of a disease and the affected part by observing this.
- Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) has the advantage of less burden on the patient because it is less invasive and has fewer side effects than conventional diagnostic methods.
- 5-aminolevulinic acid is a kind of amino acid and is the only raw material for porphyrins essential for plant chlorophyll and heme in animal blood.
- 5-Aminolevulinic acid is metabolized in the order of porphobilinogen, hydroxymethylbilane, uroporphyrinogen III, coproporphyrinogen III, protoporphyrinogen IX, and protoporphyrin IX in animals. It is known that iron ions coordinate to form heme, and heme binds to globin to form hemoglobin.
- Porphyrins are known to be taken up and accumulated in tumor cells, while ALAs are taken up into tumor cells and accumulated in the state of protoporphyrin IX via the metabolic pathway. It is known. Regardless of which administration is performed, the fluorescence of porphyrins is measured to identify and diagnose the tumor site.
- porphyrins used as photosensitizers cause photobleaching (also referred to as photobleaching, fluorescent fading, and fluorescent fading), and a decrease in fluorescence intensity is observed over time.
- Photobleaching is a chemical reaction that is rarely seen with excited fluorescent dye molecules. This reaction occurs because the fluorescent substance in the excited state is chemically activated and unstable compared to the ground state. As a result of this reaction, the fluorescent molecule eventually becomes a low fluorescent structure.
- protoporphyrin IX hereinafter abbreviated as PpIX
- the fluorescence intensity decreases very quickly such that the fluorescence intensity decreases to 1/10 or less in 60 seconds, so the diagnosis time by fluorescence is shortened. There was a problem. Therefore, a method for preventing this photo bleaching has been desired.

細胞に対し、ALA類、および、没食子酸類またはその他の還元剤を取り込ませた場合の、ALA類から代謝生成されるPpIXのフォトブリーチング防止効果の測定
没食子酸プロピル(n-Propyl gallate、以下、「NPG」と略す):2%
1-4-ジアザビシクロ[2.2.2]-オクタン(1-4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]-octane、以下「DABCO」と略す):5%
Prolong Gold(商標):有効成分のアジ化ナトリウムとして約1%
なお、Prolong Gold(Invitrogen社製のAnti-fade剤)は、アジ化ナトリウムを約1%含有する溶液として販売されていたため、50%グリセロール/PBSを用いずに、市販の溶液のまま添加して検討を行った。
細胞に対し、ALA類、および、その他の還元剤を取り込ませた場合の、ALA類から代謝生成されるPpIXのフォトブリーチング防止効果の測定
トコフェロール添加溶液(溶媒:DMSO、添加溶液濃度:100mM)5μLをPBS 1mLに添加し、最終濃度を500μMとするトコフェロール溶液を調製した。
ルテイン添加溶液(溶媒:DMSO、添加溶液濃度:2mM)5μLをPBS 1mLに添加し、最終濃度を10μMとするルテイン溶液を調製した。
実施例1と同様の方法で、1%n-プロピル没食子酸(NPG)溶液を1mL添加して励起光の強度を0.1mA、0.2mA、0.3mA、0.4mAと変更して同様に蛍光強度を測定した。
これらの測定結果から算出した半減期を表1に示す。
実施例3の結果について、蛍光顕微鏡による撮影画像を図4に示す。NPG1%を添加した場合の方が、長期間蛍光を維持したことが認められた。
溶液中における各没食子酸アルキルによるポルフィリン類のフォトブリーチング防止効果の測定
なお、没食子酸オクチルは、Gly+PBS溶液に溶解しなかったため、各没食子酸アルキルのDMSO溶液も調製した。没食子酸ブチルは、Gly+PBS溶液、DMSOに溶解したが、溶液はそれぞれ黄色に着色した溶液となった。
上記4種の各没食子酸アルキル溶液のうち、没食子酸ブチルのみが、400nm付近に吸光度をもつことが判明した。蛍光物質であるプロトポルフィリンIX(PpIX)は400nm付近に鋭い吸光度を持ち、400nm付近の光を励起光として用いるため、没食子酸ブチルを用いた場合には、PpIXの励起を妨げる可能性があると考えられた。
