Abstract:
The results of observation on experimental photolocalization and photochemotherapy with a new drug photocarcinorin (PsD-007) and argon laser (514.5+ 488nm) for different transplanted animal tumors are reported.The interrelationship among the dose of light irradiation,dose level of the drug and the efficiency of experimental photodiagnosis and photochemotherapy for animal tumors was studied.It has been shown that the degree of photodynamic damage on tumors is proportional to the light dose.The upper and lower thresholds of effective light-dose seem to be about 150 mw/cm2 and 40 mw/cm2 for 30 min respectively.The light dose for curing half of experimental animals ranged from 80 to 100 mw/cm2 for 30 min with a drug dose of 5mg/kg.The photodynamic damage on tumors in closely correlated to drug dose with a given light dose.The photodynamic effects on different tumors are essentially consistent with each other.A bright oranged-red fluorescence appeared on the fumor tissues of S180 sarcoma,Lewis lung carcinoma or U14 cervical carcinoma bearing mice on exposure to argon laser and/or UV light (365nm) 24 and 48 h after the injection of 5mg/kg of PsD-007.But no fluorescence was found on the normal tissues around the tumors under the same conditions.It is suggested that PsD-007 may be specifically uptaken into the malignant tissues.The intensity of fluorecence on tumors is directly proportional to drug dose and inversely proportional to the time interval between drug administration and observation on the fluorescence.The homogeneity of distribution of light energy was improved by using a "lens aperture" placed between the light source and irradiated animal.A model system was thus provided for the evaluation of the efficiency of drugs in the photochemodiagnosis and photochemotherapy for animal tumors.
