The photochemical, photophysical and photobiological studies of a mixture containing cis-[Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)] (H-2-dcbpy = 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) and Na-4[Tb(TsPc)(acac)] (TsPc = tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines; acac = acetylacetone), a system capable of improving photodynamic therapy (PDT), were accomplished. cis-[ Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)] was obtained from cis-[ Ru(H-2-dcbpy)(2)Cl-2]center dot 2H(2)O, whereas Na-4[Tb(TsPc)(acac)] was obtained by reacting phthalocyanine with terbium acetylacetonate. The UV-Vis spectrum of cis-[Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)] displays a band in the region of 305 nm (lambda(max) in 0.1 mol L-1 HCl)(pi-pi*) and a shoulder at 323 nm (MLCT), while the UV-Vis spectrum of Na-4[Tb(TsPc)(acac)] presents the typical phthalocyanine bands at 342 nm (Soret lambda(max) in H2O) and 642, 682 (Q bands). The cis-[Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)] FTIR spectrum displays a band at 1932 cm(-1) (Ru-NO+). The cyclic voltammogram of the cis-[Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)] complex in aqueous solution presented peaks at E = 0.10 V (NO+/0) and E = -0.50 V (NO0/-) versus Ag/AgCl. The NO concentration and O-1(2) quantum yield for light irradiation in the lambda > 550 nm region were measured as [NO] = 1.21 +/- 0.14 mu mol L-1 and circle divide(OS) = 0.41, respectively. The amount of released NO seems to be dependent on oxygen concentration, once the NO concentration measured in aerated condition was 1.51 +/- 0.11 mu mol L-1 The photochemical pathway of the cis-[Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)]/Na-4[Tb(TsPc)(acac)] mixture could be attributed to a photoinduced electron transfer process. The cytotoxic assays of cis-[Ru(H-dcbpy(-))(2)(Cl)(NO)] and of the mixture carried out with B16F10 cells show a decrease in cell viability to 80% in the dark and to 20% under light irradiation. Our results document that the simultaneous production of NO and O-1(2) could improve PDT and be useful in cancer treatment. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
