Phthalocyanines are efficient photosensitizers of cultured mammalian cells and are considered for use in photodynamic therapy. The photobiological properties of chloroaluminum phthalocyanine sulfonate (AlPCS) were compared to those of the unsubstituted, water-insoluble derivative (AlPC). The development of photosensitization after addition of the dye into growth medium is ca. 8 times more rapid for AlPC than for AlPCS. Conversely, the loss of photosensitization when cells are incubated in a dye-free growth medium following a period of dye uptake, is also faster for AlPC. The dye uptake followed a kinetic behavior similar to the development of photosensitivity, but the loss of dye was too slow for both AlPC and AlPCS to explain loss of photosensitivity. When cells are incubated prior to illumination with AlPCS in phosphate buffered saline instead of growth medium, shorter time and smaller amount of dye are required to achieve the same level of photosensitization. The dependence of photosensitivity on dye concentration is linear for both AlPC and AlPCS. As already found for AlPC, photosensitization by the water-soluble derivative is also not enhanced in D2O, suggesting that singlet oxygen is not involved in the cytotoxic response. Sodium salicylate, which was found to enhance the effect of AlPC was also effective with AlPCS. This effect is quite specific since the meta and para isomers had no effect. The metal atom complexed with the phthalocyanine ring is significant for the photobiological activity. Among the compounds tested, those containing Al or Zn are most active.
