Abstract in Portuguese
O câncer é uma patologia responsável por um grande número de óbitos. Os tratamentos convencionais, quimioterapia e radioterapia, nem sempre são eficientes e, além disso, os efeitos colaterais são intrínsecos às terapias. A partir da década de 70 surgiu uma nova forma de terapia chamada de “terapia fotodinâmica" (“Photodynamic Therapy", PDT) que apresenta poucos efeitos colaterais quando comparada com as terapias convencionais. O princípio da PDT é introduzir no organismo um composto fotoativo e irradiar com luz visível o local a ser tratado, obtendo assim a forma ativa do composto que induz a morte das células cancerígenas. Os compostos atualmente usados em PDT possuem algumas desvantagens na sua aplicação que estimula a busca de outros compostos mais satisfatórios. Neste projeto foram estudados corantes ciânicos com dois cromóforos (BCD) que possuem boas vantagem para uso em PDT. O trabalho foi focado no estudo das características espectrais e energéticas dos BCD na interação com DNA, e o efeito da força iônica nessa interação para sugerir seu uso em fotoquimioterapia, principalmente em PDT. Foram estudados quatro BCD que se diferenciam pelo ângulo entre os cromóforos. As análises experimentais foram feitas através de métodos espectroscópicos de absorção ótica, fluorescência e dicroísmo circular, e as teóricas através de programas computacionais comerciais e um programa desenvolvido neste trabalho. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os BCD possuem alta afinidade com as moléculas de DNA, formando diferentes espécies que afetam nas características dos seus estados excitados. A presença de outros íons influencia as características dos corantes e a sua interação com DNA. Pelos resultados obtidos podemos considerar que os BCD apresentam boas características para aplicação em PDT e que estes resultados dão suporte para estudos futuros da interação destes corantes com sistemas naturais (células) e para fazer testes clínicos em animais.

Abstract in English
Cancer is a pathology responsible for a great number of deaths. The conventional methods of treatment, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are not always efficient, and multiple side effects are intrinsic for these therapies. In early 70’s appeared a new method called “Photodynamic Therapy" (PDT), that shows few side effects as compared with conventional therapies. The main idea of PDT is to introduce a fotoactive compound into the organism and then irradiate with visible light the site to be treated, producing the active form of the compound that induces the death of cancers cells. The compounds used for this purpose have some disadvantages in their application, which stimulates the search for best compounds. In this work were studied several cyanine dyes with two interacting chromophores (BCD), which seem advantageous for use in PDT. The aim is to study spectral and energetic features of BCD in the presence of DNA, and at various ionic strengths, to suggest their use in cancer photochemotherapy. Four BCD studied in this work were characterized by different angles between chromophores. The experimental analysis was made using various spectroscopic methods such as optical absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism, and the theoretical treatment was based on computational programs both conventional and created in this work. The results show that BCD has high affinity with DNA molecules, forming various species thus changing the BCD excited state features. The presence of ions modifies the characteristics of dyes and their interaction with DNA. Analyzing the results we can conclude that the characteristics of BCD are promising for their application in PDT, and this makes reasonable future studies of the interaction of these dyes with natural systems such as cells culture and tumors in laboratory animals.
