RESUMO

A series of five boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) bioconjugates containing an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted pegylated LARLLT peptide and/or a glucose or biotin ethylene diamine group were synthesized, and the binding capability of the new conjugates to the extracellular domain of EGFR was investigated using molecular modeling, surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence microscopy, competitive binding assays, and animal studies. The BODIPY conjugates with a LARLLT peptide were found to bind specifically to EGFR, whereas those lacking the peptide bound weakly and nonspecifically. All BODIPY conjugates showed low cytotoxicity (IC50 > 94 µM) in HT-29 cells, both in the dark and upon light activation (1.5 J/cm2). Studies of nude mice bearing subcutaneous human HT-29 xenografts revealed that only BODIPY conjugates bearing the LARLLT peptide showed tumor localization 24 h after intravenous administration. The results of our studies demonstrate that BODIPY bioconjugates bearing the EGFR-targeting peptide 3PEG-LARLLT show promise as near-IR fluorescent imaging agents for colon cancers overexpressing EGFR.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective cancer treatment that uses photosensitizers, light, and oxygen to destroy malignant cells. Porphyrins, and in particular the cationic derivatives, are the most investigated photosensitizers for PDT. In this context, it is important to study new methodologies to develop efficient cationic photosensitizers for use in PDT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: New porphyrins bearing cationic epoxymethylaryl groups were synthesized and characterized. Their cellular uptake, intracellular localization, and phototoxicity were evaluated in human HEp2 cells, and compared with their methylated analogs. RESULTS: All cationic porphyrins were efficient generators of singlet oxygen, with quantum yields in the range 0.35-0.61. The two methylated derivatives (3 and 4) accumulated the most within cells at all times investigated, up to 24 hours. Of these two porphyrins, 4 was the most phototoxic to the cells (LD50 = 2.4 µM at 1.5 J/cm2 ); however, porphyrin 3 also showed high phototoxicity (LD50 = 7.4 µM at 1.5 J/cm2 ). The epoxymethyl-containing porphyrins were found to be less phototoxic than the methylated derivatives, with LD50 > 38 µM. The neutral porphyrins showed no phototoxicity up to the 100 µM concentrations investigated, and had the lowest singlet oxygen quantum yields. All cationic porphyrins localized mainly in the cell ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that cationic methylated porphyrin derivatives are promising PDT photosensitizing agents. The epoxymethyl-containing derivatives showed increased efficacy relative to the neutral analogs, and are good candidates for further investigation. Lasers Surg.
