Porphyrins have been studied as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy. DNA is one of the most important targets of the sensitizer. In the present study, we have examined the photosensitized DNA damage caused by dihydroxoP(V) tetraphenylporphyrin (P(V)TPP), a cationic water-soluble porphyrin. P(V)TPP photosensitized guanine-specific damage to the DNA fragment. P(V)TPP induced severe photodamage to single-stranded rather than to double-stranded DNA. High performance liquid chromatography measurements confirmed the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-G), an oxidized product of 2'-deoxyguanosine, and showed that the content of 8-oxo-G in single-stranded DNA is larger than that in double-stranded DNA. The effects of reactive oxygen scavengers on DNA damage suggested the involvement of singlet oxygen (1O2). Photosensitized 1O2 formation was confirmed by near-infrared emission measurements. The results showed that 1O2 formation mainly contributes to the mechanism of DNA photodamage by P(V)...
