Characterization of reactive oxygen species generated by protoporphyrin IX under X-ray irradiation
As a possible radiosensitizer candidate having biological compatibility, oncotropic property, and X-ray activation capability, contribution of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) to enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under X-ray and UV irradiations were examined. To identify the kinds of ROS,...

Zusammenfassung: | As a possible radiosensitizer candidate having biological compatibility, oncotropic property, and X-ray activation capability, contribution of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) to enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under X-ray and UV irradiations were examined. To identify the kinds of ROS, 2-[6-(4-amino)phenoxy-3
H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl] benzoic acid (APF) and dihydroethidium (DHE) were used together with ethanol as a hydroxyl radical (OH
) quencher. All of the three species of our interest (OH
, superoxide radical (O
2
−
), and singlet oxygen (
1O
2)) were enhanced by PpIX under X-ray and UV irradiations in addition to those by radiolysis and photolysis. Its enhancement factors exceeded 1.7 depending on the concentrations of PpIX from 1.5 to 15.0
