Keywords in Portuguese

Abstract in Portuguese
O efeito do fotossensibilizador na estrutura biológica não é apenas influenciado por suas propriedades fotofísicas, mas também por sua interação específica com biosistemas.Além disso, a localização do fotossensibilizador no tecido tumoral é um importante fator que resulta em diferentes mecanismos de destruição do tumor. Muitos fotossensibilizadores, após administração sistêmica, se ligam às proteínas plasmáticas e com isso são distribuídos em diferentes sítios no organismo. Os fotossensibilizadores hidrofílicos são largamente transportados por albuminas e globilinas e se acumulam preferencialmente no estroma vascular dos tumores. Entretanto, fotossensibilizadores mais hidrofóbicos se ligam às lipoproteínas, principalmente LDL, que promove a entrada do FS na célula através de endocitose mediado por receptor. Sendo assim, a localização do FS depende de sua ligação com as deferentes proteínas plasmáticas, sua farmacocinética e também é influenciada pela diferença entre o tecido normal e tumoral. O tecido tumoral tem pH mais baixo e maior expressão de receptores de LDL do que os tecidos normais, aumentando a seletividade dos FSs as células tumorais. A incorporação de FS hidrofóbicos em lipossomas para a administração sistêmica pode realçar ao transporte deste pelas lipoproteínas. No presente trabalho estudou-se a influência do pH na interação de fotossensibilizadores com lipossomas de DMPC e LDL. Os fotossensibilizadores utilizados nesse estudo foram Photofrin®, Photogem® e Photosan® que são derivados de hematoporfirinas. A metodologia empregada constitui de variação das concentrações de DMPC e LDL para os seguintes valores de pHs 5,0; 7,4 e 9,0, esse último pH utilizou-se somente para DMPC. O complexo FS - DMPC foi obtido por incubação dos FSs na concentração de 10 micro g.mL-1 com diferentes concentrações de DMPC (0 a 400 micro M) por trinta minutos no escuro. Isolou-se o LDL do plasma humano por ultracentrifugação por gradiente de densidade. Após a separação, o complexo FS - LDL foi obtido por incubação (12 horas no escuro) do FS na concentração 10 micro g.mL-1 com diferentes concentrações de LDL (0 a 0,04 micro M). O comportamento desses complexos foi analisado por espectroscopia de absorção ótica e por espectroscopia de fluorescência.

Abstract in English
The effect of a photosensitizing compound on biological structures is governed not only by its photophysical properties but also by the specificity of its interaction with biosystems. Moreover, localization of the photosensitizer in the tumor tissue is an important factor affecting the outcome as well as mechanism leading to tumor destruction. Following administration, most photosensitizers are bound to blood components and delivered to different sites in the organism. It is generally accepted that hydrophilic photosensitizers are largely transported by albumins and globulins and mainly accumulate in the vascular stroma of tumors. More hydrophobic sensitizers are bound to lipoproteins, which promote drug internalization by cells through endocytosis of the lipoprotein carrier. In this way, uptake and localization depend on the initial plasma binding and the plasma pharmacokinetics of the drug. However, the selective localization of some photosensitizers are influence for the difference between malignant and normal tissues. Notably, the lower pH of the microenvironment usually found in the tumor tissue and the expression of greater number of LDL receptors on the surface of the tumor cells might influence cellular uptake. Delivery to lipoproteins or target tissues may be facilitated and enhanced by the incorporation of lipophilic photosensitizers into liposomes for systemic administration. In the present work we have studied the pH-dependence of the interaction of photosensitizers with DMPC liposomes and low density lipoprotein (LDL). The photosensitizers used in this study are Photofrin®, Photogem® and Photosan®, which are hematoporphyrin derivates. The methodology used to this work, constitute of various concentrations of DMPC liposomes and LDL at different pH values. It were used the 5,0; 7,4 and 9,0 pH values. The DMPC-drug complexes were obtained by incubation of the photosensitizers 10 _g.mL-1 with differents DMPC concentrations for 30 min in the dark. The LDL was isolated from human plasma by sequential density gradient ultracentrifugation. The LDL-drug complexes were obtained by incubation of the photosensitizers 10 _g.mL-1 with differents LDL concentrations. The incubation was performed in a water bath at 20_C for 12 hours in the dark. The comportment of the complexes was analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy.
