摘要: Sequential two-photon (2-γ) activated copper tetrasulfophthalocyanine (CuPcS4) was shown capable of inactivating acetylcholinesterase (ACE). ACE activity measured photometrically by the Ellman method. Simultaneous irradiation in presence CuPcS4 with 514 nm (183 mW/cm2) and 670 (86 continuous wave (CW) light induced a 20–50% increase enzyme inhibition as compared to one-photon (1-γ) irradiation, using either 514- or 670-nm at same fluences. The not affected alone, decreased linearly time, be oxygen-dependent. We conclude that photoinactivation sequential 2-γ involves reactive oxygen species produced interaction upper excited Tn state molecular oxygen. As shows little conventional 1-γ photosensitizer, unwanted side effects such prolonged skin sensitivity are eliminated rendering photodynamic therapy advantageous for treatment selected medical applications.
