摘要
The efficiency of zinc phthalocyanine and methylene blue (CI 52015) in compromise the viability of TG 180 malignant cells by photodynamic action, was compared by counting the number of killed cells. The results show that, under the observed experimental conditions, zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) is at least two times more efficient than methylene blue (MB), and possesses a very low citotoxicity and high capacity to penetrate the cellular membrane. Quenching experiments using beta-carothene evidence the importance of a type II mechanism during cell inactivation by ZnPc. Copyright (C) 2002 Society of Porphyrins & Phthalocyanines.
