摘要
The tumoricidal effects of photochemotherapy with two photosensitizers, 5-ethylamino-9-diethylaminobenzo[a] phenothiazinium chloride (EtNBS) and benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring A (BPD-MA), were evaluated separately and in combination against the EMT-6 fibrosarcoma implanted subcutaneously in BALB/c mice. Animals carrying tumors 8-10 mm in diameter were divided into eight different groups (similar to 20/group) and subjected to various photoirradiation and drug conditions. The tumor response to photodynamic therapy (PDT) was measured as the mean tumor wet weight 2 weeks post-PDT. The combination treatment with 5.25 mg/kg EtNBS and 2.5 mg/kg BPD-MA followed by photoirradiation with 100 J/cm(2) at 652 mn and then by 100 J/cm(2) at 690 nm resulted in a 95% reduction in the average tumor weights compared to controls (no light, no drugs) with 76% of the mice being tumor free 2 weeks post-PDT. Because treatment with EtNBS or BPD-MA at twice the light dose and drug concentration resulted in either no significant reduction in tumor weights or increased the lethality of treatment, respectively, the data suggest that the enhanced PDT effect observed with the combination of drugs is synergistic rather than additive. Histology of tumors 24 h post-PDT with the combination of drugs showed nearly complete destruction of the tumor mass with little or no damage to the vasculature and no extravasation of red blood cells. There was no damage to the normal skin adjacent to the tumor. Fluorescence microscopy of EMT-6 cells incubated in vitro with the two photosensitizers revealed that they were localized to different intracellular compartments, The fluorescence pattern from frozen tumor tissue slices following the in vivo administration of the photosensitizers indicated a greater intracellular localization for EtNBS vs BPD-MA.
