Do charge-remote fragmentations occur under matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization post-source decompositions and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization collisionally activated decompositions? (1/1552)

The precursor ions of tetraphenylporphyrins that are substituted with fatty acids can be introduced into the gas phase by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and undergo post-source and collisionally activated decompositions (CAD) in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The goal of the research is to obtain a better understanding of post-source decompositions (PSD); specifically, we asked the question of whether ions undergoing PSD have sufficient energy to give charge-remote fragmentations along an alkyl chain. We chose the porphyrin macrocycle because we expected it to act as an inert "support," allowing the molecule to be desorbed by MALDI and to be amenable to charge-remote fragmentation. MALDI-PSD and MALDI-CAD spectra are similar to high-energy CAD spectra and considerably more informative than low-energy CAD spectra, showing that charge-remote fragmentations of the fatty acid moieties do occur upon MALDI-PSD and MALDI-CAD.  (+info)

High efficiency of benzoporphyrin derivative in the photodynamic therapy of pigmented malignant melanoma. (2/1552)

Benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring A (verteporfin, BPD-MA) when intravenously injected (5.5 micromol kg(-1)) to C57/BL6 mice bearing a subcutaneously transplanted B1 melanoma gave a maximal accumulation in the tumour within 1-3 h with recoveries of 1.84-1.96 micromol kg(-1). Irradiation of BPD-MA-loaded melanoma with 690-nm light from a dye laser at 3 h and 9 h post injection induced tumour necrosis and delay of tumour growth of 28 and 14 days respectively. The response of the tumour to BPD-MA photosensitization was enhanced by pretreatment with 1064-nm light from a pulse-operated Nd:YAG laser, which caused a selective breakdown of melanosomes.  (+info)

Ultrastructural changes in PAM cells after photodynamic treatment with delta-aminolevulinic acid-induced porphyrins or photosan. (3/1552)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the combination of a photosensitizing drug (Ps) with light in the presence of oxygen leading to the generation of reactive molecular species and destruction of cancer cells. In this study we compared PDT with two Ps, the hematoporphyrin derivative Photosan (Ph) and delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced endogenous protoporphyrin IX, with respect to mitochondrial function and ultrastructural alterations. The effects of PDT were investigated in PAM 212 cells after different Ps incubation times, light doses, and post-treatment periods. Both Ps induced a light dose-dependent impairment of the mitochondrial function with the dose-response curve being steep for ALA and flat for Ph. The prolongation of the incubation time from 4 to 20 h resulted in an increased reduction of mitochondrial activity after ALA PDT but not after Ph PDT. Treatment with an irradiation dose that decreased mitochondrial activity by 50% (IC50) led to early and profound changes of mitochondrial morphology in ALA photosensitized cells, whereas photosensitization with Ph resulted in more pronounced alterations of lysosomes. We conclude that at bioequivalent sublethal PDT exposures of PAM 212 cells, ALA-induced damage is primarily restricted to mitochondria, whereas Ph-induced cytotoxicity is mediated by damage of the lysosomal system.  (+info)

Five-coordinate iron-porphyrin as a model for the active site of hemoproteins. Characterization and coordination properties. (4/1552)

Preparation of iron(III)-deuteroporphyrin 6(7)-methyl ester, 7(6)-(histidine methyl ester) by coupling histidine methyl ester to deuterohemin has been performed using the mixed carboxylic/carbonic-acid-anhydride method. This compound, which is very soluble in various organic solvents, can be considered as a prosthetic group model for the active site of five-coordinate hemoproteins. In the oxidized state a basic, a neutral or an acid form can be isolated. The basic and acid forms are monomeric at all concentrations. The neutral form is found dimeric in concentrated solutions while it is monomeric at low concentration. The coordination state of iron in these various species is investigated. The neutral form reacts with ligands, such as nitrogenous organic bases, leading to six-coordinate well-known hemichromes which exhibit low-spin electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. The reaction of anionic ligands, such as F-, CN-, NO-2 and N-3, with the neutral form model leads to unsymmetrical six-coordinate complexes whose optical and ESR spectra are similar to those of synthetic deuteromyoglobin. In benzene, toluene or dichloromethane solutions iron (II)-deuteroporphyrin 6(7)-methyl ester, 7(6)-histidine methyl ester), obtained from ferric forms by heterogeneous reduction with aqueous dithionite, exhibits an optical spectrum characteristic of a five-coordinate high-spin ferrous complex. At low temperature important spectral modifications are observed indicating a dimeric association. At room temperature it binds one nitrogenous base molecule leading to the well-known hemochrome. It reacts also with carbon monoxide with a very high affinity constant (4.5 X 10(8) M-1), comparable to that of the isolated human hemoglobin alpha and beta chains, but much higher than the values reported for other various models, suggesting that the side-chain length bearing the fifth ligand may have an important influence upon the reactivity of the sixth position of the iron ion. At low temperature in toluene or dichloromethane, this compound reversibly binds oxygen without oxidation of the iron ion while oxidation occurs at room temperature. The significance of these results is discussed in relation with the local environment, the electronic nature of the base and the immobilization of the heme group in hemoproteins.  (+info)

Reaction of the microsomal heme oxygenase with cobaltic protoporphyrin IX, and extremely poor substrate. (5/1552)

A reconstituted heme oxygenase system which was composed of a purified heme oxygenase from pig spleen microsomes and a partially purified NADPH-cytochrome c reductase from pig liver microsomes could not catalyze the conversion of cobaltic protoporphyrin IX (Co-heme) to biliverdin, although Co-heme could bind with the heme oxygenase protein to form a complex. The heme oxygenase system in the microsomes from pig spleen, rat spleen, and rat kidney also failed to oxidize Co-heme to biliverdin. Properties of the complex of Co-heme and heme oxygenase closely resembled those of cobalt myoglobin and cobalt hemoglobin; the Co-heme bound to the heme oxygenase protein did not react with cyanide and azide, the Co-heme moiety was reduced but only slowly with sodium dithionite, and the reduced form of the Co-heme did not appear to bind carbon monoxide. The co-heme bound to heme oxygenase was not reduced with the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase system in air. These findings further support the views that heme oxygenase may have a heme-binding crevice similar to those of myoglobin and hemoglobin and that reduction of heme is the prerequisite for the oxidative degradation of heme in the heme oxygenase reaction.  (+info)

Optimum porphyrin accumulation in epithelial skin tumours and psoriatic lesions after topical application of delta-aminolaevulinic acid. (6/1552)

Photodynamic therapy with topically applied delta-aminolaevulinic acid is used to treat skin tumours by employing endogenously formed porphyrins as photosensitizers. This study examines the time course of porphyrin metabolite formation after topical application of delta-aminolaevulinic acid. Porphyrin biosynthesis in human skin tumours (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma), in psoriatic lesions, and in normal skin was investigated. Skin areas were treated with delta-aminolaevulinic acid, and levels of total porphyrins, porphyrin metabolites and proteins were measured in samples excised after 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h. There was an increase in porphyrin biosynthesis in all tissues with maximum porphyrin levels in tumours between 2 and 6 h and in psoriatic lesions 6 h after treatment. The pattern of porphyrins showed no significant difference between normal and neoplastic skin, protoporphyrin being the predominant metabolite. The results suggest that optimum irradiation time for superficial epithelial skin tumours may be as soon as 2 h after application of delta-aminolaevulinic acid, whereas for treatment of psoriatic lesions an application time of 6 h is more suitable.  (+info)

Carbon monoxide stimulates the apical 70-pS K+ channel of the rat thick ascending limb. (7/1552)

We have investigated the expression of heme oxygenase (HO) in the rat kidney and the effects of HO-dependent heme metabolites on the apical 70-pS K+ channel in the thick ascending limb (TAL). Reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot analyses indicate expression of the constitutive HO form, HO-2, in the rat cortex and outer medulla. Patch-clamping showed that application of 10 microM chromium mesoporphyrin (CrMP), an inhibitor of HO, reversibly reduced the activity of the apical 70-pS K+ channel, defined by NPo, to 26% of the control value. In contrast, addition of 10 microM magnesium protoporphyrin had no significant effect on channel activity. HO involvement in regulation of the apical 70-pS K+ channel of the TAL, was further indicated by the addition of 10 microM heme-L-lysinate, which significantly stimulated the channel activity in cell-attached patches by 98%. The stimulatory effect of heme on channel activity was also observed in inside-out patches in the presence of 0.5-1 mM reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. This was completely abolished by 10 microM CrMP, suggesting that a HO-dependent metabolite of heme mediated the effect. This was further supported by exposure of the cytosolic membrane of inside-out patches to a carbon monoxide-bubbled bath solution, which increased channel activity. Moreover, carbon monoxide completely abolished the effect of 10 microM CrMP on the channel activity. In contrast, 10 microM biliverdin, another HO-dependent metabolite of heme, had no effect. We conclude that carbon monoxide produced from heme via an HO-dependent metabolic pathway stimulates the apical 70-pS K+ channel in the rat TAL.  (+info)

A corrinoid-dependent catabolic pathway for growth of a Methylobacterium strain with chloromethane. (8/1552)

Methylobacterium sp. strain CM4, an aerobic methylotrophic alpha-proteobacterium, is able to grow with chloromethane as a carbon and energy source. Mutants of this strain that still grew with methanol, methylamine, or formate, but were unable to grow with chloromethane, were previously obtained by miniTn5 mutagenesis. The transposon insertion sites in six of these mutants mapped to two distinct DNA fragments. The sequences of these fragments, which extended over more than 17 kb, were determined. Sequence analysis, mutant properties, and measurements of enzyme activity in cell-free extracts allowed the definition of a multistep pathway for the conversion of chloromethane to formate. The methyl group of chloromethane is first transferred by the protein CmuA (cmu: chloromethane utilization) to a corrinoid protein, from where it is transferred to H4folate by CmuB. Both CmuA and CmuB display sequence similarity to methyltransferases of methanogenic archaea. In its C-terminal part, CmuA is also very similar to corrinoid-binding proteins, indicating that it is a bifunctional protein consisting of two domains that are expressed as separate polypeptides in methyl transfer systems of methanogens. The methyl group derived from chloromethane is then processed by means of pterine-linked intermediates to formate by a pathway that appears to be distinct from those already described in Methylobacterium. Remarkable features of this pathway for the catabolism of chloromethane thus include the involvement of a corrinoid-dependent methyltransferase system for dehalogenation in an aerobe and a set of enzymes specifically involved in funneling the C1 moiety derived from chloromethane into central metabolism.  (+info)

In the case of porphyrin monolayer-protected gold clusters the quantum yield reaches a maximum value ...
The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the parameters governing the synthesis of meso-substituted porphyrins. As a result of doing so, we anticipate that better reaction conditions can be developed, which will afford porphyrins in higher yields. Porphyrins are a large class of deeply colored red or purple, fluorescent crystalline pigments, of natural or synthetic origin, having in common a substituted aromatic macrocyclic ring consisting of four pyrrole-type residues, linked together by four methine bridging groups. The structure of porphyrin has been known since the early 1900s, but discrepancies exist on how the formation of porphyrin actually occurs. Several methods have been developed for the porphyrin reaction under various conditions. Three of the most common methods for the synthesis of meso-substituted porphyrins are: the Rothemund Method, the Adler Method, and the Lindsey Method. The conditions for these reactions vary from the harsh conditions where the ...
Water-soluble, meso-substituted porphyrins are synthesized by sulfonation or methylation of the phenyl or pyridyl groups, respectively, of some non-water-soluble functionalized porphyrins that we have recently synthesized (Can. J. Chem. 72, 1894 (1994)). Twelve anionic sulfonated and seven cationic methylpyridinium porphyrins, usually containing other functional groups (phenyl, pyridyl, nitro- and amino-phenyl), are reported on. Twelve of these porphyrins are new, and all nineteen porphyrins are characterized by H-1 NMR. UV-VIS data are presented for the isolated porphyrins, while mass spectral data are noted for selected compounds. Partition coefficients of the porphyrins in octanol-water, and the accumulation of the porphyrins in HT-29 cells of a human-cancer tumor, were measured and both were inversely related to the charges of the porphyrins. The 11 porphyrins soluble in biological buffer solutions are basically nontoxic to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in oxic or hypoxic conditions or ...

In this work the aggregates of the tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS4) growth from solution on solid crystalline hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates were investigated. The spatial structure of TPPS4 deposited on the surface was imaged using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) visualized porphyrin rings structure with molecular resolution. The aggregation of TPPS4 was investigated by UV_VIS spectroscopy. The TEM investigation revealed a 3-dimensional rod and wheel like molecular order of the TPPS4 porphyrin assemblies, while a corresponding shorter and monodisperse oligomer exhibited 2D ribbon-like structure. The TPPS4 porphyrin molecules self-assemble into micrometer-long nanorods and fibers on substrate surface. Their cross section was determined quantitatively by scanning force microscopy. This revealed a typical thickness of two or four molecular layers and a width of tenths of molecule diameter. This

Free base stannyl porphyrins and free base porphyrin dimers have been successfully synthesized via copper-free Stille coupling in 21−67% yields. This approach provides an access to stannyl porphyrin synthons that were previously unavailable. Moreover, variation of the reaction conditions selectively provides access to either stannyl porphyrins or porphyrin dimers. Full 119/117Sn NMR analysis was used for characterization of the stannyl porphyrins and detailed 119Sn-1H-13C NMR analyses were carried out on a series of the starting tin reagents and the stannyl porphyrins. These investigations indicate that significant structural information can be gathered by use of commonly known NMR techniques. Photophysical properties of the novel porphyrins prepared including absorption, emission, and fluorescence lifetimes were investigated. The stannyl porphyrins emitted in the visible region, and in all cases large Stokes shifts were observed. The emission intensities of the stannyl porphyrins were ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Design of Spatial Disposition of Anionic Porphyrins in Matrices of Ammonium Bilayer Membranes. AU - Ishikawa, Yuichi. AU - Kunitake, Toyoki. PY - 1991/1/1. Y1 - 1991/1/1. N2 - A methodology to place charged porphyrin derivatives in specific spatial arrangements in matrices of ammonium bilayer membranes was explored. Aqueous mixtures of anionic copper(II) porphyrins and bilayer dispersions of single-chain and double-chain ammonium amphiphiles were cast on Teflon sheets to produce regular multilayer films. The orientation of doped copper(II) porphyrins was determined by anisotropies of ESR spectral patterns that were dependent on the disposition of the cast film in the magnetic field. Quantitative estimates of the porphyrin orientation were made possible by elaborate computer simulation of the observed spectra. The mode of porphyrin orientation is determined by the distribution of anionic substituents on guest porphyrins and the supramolecular structure of host bilayers. Type III ...
The ability of a novel porphyrin, meso-tetrakis[3,4-bis(carboxymethyleneoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (T3,4-CPP), to induce photodamage in subcellular membranes, in the form of rat hepatic and tumor microsomes, was evaluated with a view to locating suitable porphyrin derivative for possible use in photodynamic therapy. This water-soluble porphyrin, on exposure to visible light, induced a significant extent of membrane lipid peroxidation as assessed by the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, lipid hydroperoxides and conjugated dienes. The peroxidation induced in hepatic microsomes is both time-and concentration-dependent. Using inhibitors of reactive oxygen species and comparing products of peroxidation, it is shown that the damage induced is mainly due to singlet oxygen and partly due to other species like free radicals. T3,4-CPP also caused the generation of singlet oxygen as a function of illumination time. Since membrane damage induced by a sensitizer on photoexcitation has been ...
The photophysical properties of a ring B benzoporphyrin derivative 1,3-diene dimethylester were investigated in solution (water-DMSO mixtures). At low proportions of water in DMSO, the diester obeys Beers law at all pH values and ionic strengths investigated. For solvent systems containing more than 30% water, the extent of deviation from Beers law as a function of porphyrin concentration is attributed to formation of porphyrin dimers. Dimerization equilibrium constants (Kd) have been determined in different percentage of solvent mixtures, using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, and were found to exhibit a linear correlation between log (Kd) and the inverse of the dielectric constant (log (Kd) = 24.6 - 1060.4 x 1/epsilon (mix)).

N2 - The nature of the singlet and triplet excited states of a series of meso-to-meso ethyne-linked bis(porphyrin) compounds was probed by electronic absorption, polarized pump - probe fluorescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electroabsorption (Stark), and transient triplet - triplet absorption spectroscopic methods, Pump - probe fluorescence anisotropy experiments show that the presence of meso-ethynyl substituents drives a reorientation of orthogonal x- and y-polarized singlet excited states in the macrocycle frame of reference with respect to that evinced for conventional free-base porphyrin chromophores. Analogous experiments in conjugated ...
The activation parameters and the rate constants of the water exchange reactions of MnTE-2-PyP5+ (Mn(III) meso-tetrakis(N-ethylpyridinium-2-yl)porphyrin) as cationic, MnTnHex-2-PyP5+ (Mn(III) meso-tetrakis(N-n-hexylpyridinium-2-yl)-porphyrin) and MnTTEG-2-PyP5+ (Mn(III) meso-tetrakis(N-tri(ethyleneglycol)-pyridinium-2-yl)porphyrin) as sterically shielded cationic, and MnTSPP3- (meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin) as anionic Mn(III) porphyrins have been determined from the temperature dependence of 17O NMR relaxation rates. On the basis of the determined entropies of activation, an interchange-dissociative mechanism (Id) was proposed for the cationic complexes (ΔS‡ = ca. 0 J K-1 mol-1) whereas a limiting dissociative mechanism (D) was proposed for MnTSPP3- complex (ΔS‡ = +79 J K-1 mol-1). We found that the in vitro autoxidation of N-hydroxyurea (HU) is catalyzed by MnTTEG-2-PyP5+, which is also a potent mimic of the enzyme superoxide dismutase. The detailed mechanism of the reaction ...

Numerous studies have been conducted using porphyrin molecules on various substrates to investigate their diverse photoelectrochemical, catalytic, electronic, and biochemical properties. These properties make porphyrin molecules targets for use as active components in devices such as chemical sensors, information storage, and photo sensitizers in solar cells. In this study, we investigated the assembly and aggregation of mono-podal zinc (II) porphyrin molecules into a dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold. The porphyrin macrocycle is attached to a phenyl linking group and an alkanethiol tether which binds to the gold surface. The charge transport properties of the porphyrin in confined geometries are being investigated based on previous studies of aggregated assemblies on gold surfaces. In these studies, we find small islands of porphyrins to produce unique electrical switching behavior not observed in single molecules. To explore how island size influences the electrical ...
The ability to replace the native heme cofactor of proteins with an unnatural porphyrin of interest affords new opportunities to study heme protein chemistry and engineer heme proteins for new functions. Previous methods for porphyrin substitution rely on removal of the native heme followed by porphyrin reconstitution. However, conditions required to remove the native heme often lead to denaturation, limiting success at heme replacement. An expression-based strategy for porphyrin substitution was developed to circumvent the heme removal and reconstitution steps, whereby unnatural porphyrin incorporation occurs under biological conditions. The approach uses the RP523 strain of Escherichia coli, which has a deletion of a key gene involved in heme biosynthesis and is permeable to porphyrins. The expression-based strategy for porphyrin substitution detailed here is a robust platform to generate heme proteins containing unnatural porphyrins for diverse applications ...
Hematoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester (HPDME), tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), tetra(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TMPP), tetra(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TDMPP), tetra(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TTMPP), tetraanthrylporphyrin (TAP) and tetraacridylporphyrin (TACP), and their Zn2+, SnX2(2+), Pd2+ and Pt2+ complexes have been prepared and characterized. The singlet molecular oxygen quantum yield (phi(DELTA)) values of the above porphyrins and their metal derivatives in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) have been measured in the presence of 1, 3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as O-1(2) acceptor using steady state technique after correcting for the intensity of light absorbed by the photosensitizers. The phi(DELTA) values for the free base porphyrins are usually around 0.60. Hematoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester and its metal derivatives follow the order: HPDME (phi(DELTA) = 0.60) , Zn HPDME (0.40) , PdHPDME (0.34) , Sn(OH)2HPDME (0.28) greater-than-or-equal-to PtHPDME (0.24).

ABSTRACT Electrochemical studies of the oxidation of dodecasubstitued and highly nonplanar nickel porphyrins in a non-coordinating solvent have previously revealed the first NiIII porphyrin dication. Herein, we investigate if these nonplanar porphyrins can also be used to detect the so far unobserved CuIII porphyrin dication. Electrochemical studies of the oxidation of (DPP)M and (OETPP)M show three processes, the first two of which are macrocycle centered to give the porphyrin dication followed by a CuII/III processes at more positive potential. Support for the assignment of the CuII/III process comes from the linear relationships observed between E1/2 and the third ionization potential of the central metal ions for Fe, Co, Ni and Cu complexes of (DPP)M and (OETPP)M. In addition, the oxidation behaviour of additional nonplanar nickel porphyrins is investigated in a non-coordinating solvent, with nickel meso-tetraalkylporphyrins also being found to form NiIII porphyrin dications. Finally, ...
We compared antioxidant responses and regulation of porphyrin metabolism in rice plants treated with oxyfluorfen (OF) or methyl viologen (MV). Plants treated with MV exhibited not only greater increases in conductivity and malondialdehyde but also a greater decline in Fv/Fm, compared to plants treated with OF. MV-treated plants had greater increases in activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) as well as transcript levels of SODA and CATA than OF-treated plants after 28 h of the treatments, whereas increases in ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity and transcript levels of APXA and APXB were greater in OF-treated plants. Both OF- and MV-treated plants resulted in not only down-regulation of most genes involved in porphyrin biosynthesis but also disappearance of Mg-porphyrins during the late stage of photooxidative stress. By contrast, up-regulation of heme oxygenase 2 (HO2) is possibly part of an efficient antioxidant response to compensate photooxidative damage in both treatments. Our
Porphyrins are organic aromatic compounds composed of four pyrrole rings interconnected to each other and to the Fe2+ ion. Porphyrins are essential cofactors of many proteins including cytochrome proteins and haemoglobin and myoglobin in humans. The first step in the production of porphyrin in animals is the mitochondrial formation of delta-aminolevulinate from glycine and succinyl-CoA. In humans, this aminolevulinate is then transported to cytosol where the 4-step conversion into Coproporphyrinogen III occurs. The remaining processing of this intermediate to protoporphyrin IX and then to heme takes place in mitochondrion.. The cytochrome proteins in Plasmodium and Coccidian species such as Toxoplasma and Neospora require de novo synthesis of porphyrin. Although P. falciparum obtains heme from host haemoglobin digestion, it cannot utilise them for biosynthesis of its own porphyrin-containing proteins [1] and converts them to hemozoin [2]. The enzymes of de novo heme biosynthesis in P. falciparum ...
Key words: Organic photosensitizer, natural porphyrin, titanium dioxide anatase, phorocurrent Abstract: A set of organic photodetector devices arranged as indium doped tin oxide (TTO)/porphyrin/TiOialuminum has been fabricated and its performance has been tested in dark and under various illumination of visible light intensity from 20-100 mW/cm2. Four devices were prepared using natural porphyrin by I, 3, 5 and 7 times of spin coating. First, porphyrin film was deposited onto indium doped tin oxide (!TO)-covered glass substrate by spin coating technique. Second, titanium dioxide (Ti02) film was deposited on top of the porphyrin film using similar technique. Porphyrin was isolated from spirulina microalgae and Ti02 nanoparticle was prepared by controlled hydrolysis technique using titanium(IV) etoxide, Ti(OC2Hj)4, and potassium chloride. The films were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer to investigate their absorption spectra. The porphyrin film has maximum absorbance at 660 nm, which is ...

The photoreduction of water-soluble cationic manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (1-methylpyridium-4-yl)porphyrin (Mn-III(TMPyP)(4+)) bound to a synthetic polynucleotide, either poly[d(A-T)(2)] or poly[d(G-C)(2)], was examined by conventional absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, transient absorption, and transient Raman spectroscopy. Upon binding, Mn-III(TMPyP)(4+) produced a positive CD signal for both polynucleotides, suggesting external binding. In the poly[d(A-T)(2)]-Mn-III(TMPyP)(4+) adduct case, an interaction between the bound porphyrin was suggested. The transient absorption spectral features of Mn-III(TMPyP)(4+) in the presence of poly[d(A-T)(2)] and poly[d(G-C)(2)] were similar to those of the photoreduced products, Mn-II(TMPyP)(4+), whereas Mn-III(TMPyP)(4+) in the absence of polynucleotides retained its oxidation state. This indicated that both poly[d(A-T)(2)] and poly[d(G-C)(2)] act as electron donors, resulting in photo-oxidized G and A bases. The transient Raman bands ...
This work uncovers the application of porphyrin dimers for the use in electroanalysis, such as potentiometric determination of ions. It also puts in question a current perception of an occurrence of the super-Nernstian response, as a result of the possible dimerization of single porphyrins within an ion-selective membrane. To study that, four various porphyrin dimers were used as ionophores, namely, freebase-freebase, Zn-Zn, Zn-freebase, and freebase-Zn. Since the Zn-freebase and freebase-Zn porphyrin dimers carried both anion- and cation-sensitive porphyrin units, their application in ISEs was utilized in both anion- and cation-sensitive sensors. With respect to the lipophilic salt added, both porphyrins dimers were found anion- and cation-sensitive. This allowed using a single molecule as novel type of versatile ionophore (anion- and cation-selective), simply by varying the membrane composition. All anion-sensitive sensors were perchlorate-sensitive, while the cation-selective sensors were ...
Mixed metallo-porphyrin cages were selected and amplified from dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) by using appropriate templates. The cages are composed of two bisphosphine substituted zinc(II) porphyrins as ligand donors and two rhodium(III) or ruthenium(II) porphyrins as ligand acceptors, and are connected through metal-phosphorus coordination. Ru and Rh porphyrins that display a large structural diversity were employed. The templating was achieved by using 4,4-bpy, 3,3-dimethyl-4,4-bipyridine and benzo[lmn]-3,8-phenanthroline, and acts through zinc-nitrogen coordination. The absolute amount of amplification from the DCLs is strongly dependent on the combination of the Ru/Rh porphyrin and the template; cages with sterically demanding porphyrins can only form with smaller templates. In the case of tert-butyl-substituted TPP (TPP=tetraphenylporphyrin), cages are not formed at all. The formation of the cages is usually complete within 24 h at an ambient temperature; in the case of the cage ...

0020] In one preferred embodiment, the green porphyrin is prepared as a liposomal formulation. Liposomal formulations are believed to deliver the green porphyrin selectively to the low-density lipoprotein component of plasma which, in turn acts as a carrier to deliver the active ingredient more effectively to the neovasculature. Increased numbers of LDL receptors have been shown to be associated with neovascularization, and by increasing the partitioning of the green porphyrin into the lipoprotein phase of the blood, it appears to be delivered more efficiently to the neovasculature. Green porphyrins, and in particular BPD-MA, strongly interact with such lipoproteins. LDL itself can be used as a carrier, but LDL is considerably more expensive and less practical than a liposomal formulation. LDL, or preferably liposomes, are thus preferred carriers for the green porphyrins since green porphyrins strongly interact with lipoproteins and are easily packaged in liposomes. Compositions of green ...
Thermal water treatment with temperatures higher than 50 °C, UV radiation, use of disinfectants, and treatment with chlorine, ozone or chlorodium oxide are the basic techniques for the removal of Legionella from water systems (Kuchta et al. 1985; Bédard et al. 2016). Despite the implementation of all these methods, legionellosis is becoming more frequent, so it is necessary to use new approaches in water disinfection. One of the new approaches is the use of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as a disinfection method of tap water. The effect of the recently described cationic porphyrin with lipophilic moiety was investigated to determine its antibacterial activity against the opportunistic plumbing pathogen Legionella in its natural environment, tap water. A recent overview of the development and use of amphiphilic porphyrins in PDT emphasized the need for further investigation of cationic porphyrins with different lipophilic moieties as this class of compounds has shown a promising ...

N2 - Mesoscopic properties of J-aggregates of water-soluble [tetrakis(4- sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin] and water-insoluble [tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin and tetraphenylporphyrin] tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives in thin films have been investigated by scanning near-field optical microscopy. From surface topography, the sample films were found to be composed of planar J-aggregate microcrystallines. The transmittance spectra of the water-insoluble samples are site specific, while those of the water-soluble samples are not. This observation might reflect the spatial inhomogeneity of the thin films in mesoscopic scales and is related to the broad J-bands of water-insoluble samples. Excited state lifetimes, obtained from time-resolved, pump-probe measurements in small domains, were in the 30-70 ps ...
Porphyrins are tetrapyrrolic aromatic macrocycles and ubiquitous in nature. They are excellent dyes with strong absorption in the visible region (400�700 nm) and they exhibit decent fluorescence in the red region (620�900 nm). Carbazole is a nitrogen-containing electron rich aromatic heterocycle which can be linked to porphyrins and other chromophores. This review provides an overview of the different synthetic strategies that have been employed to prepare carbazole-substituted porphyrins and carbazole-fused porphyrinoids and similar systems. It also shows that how the substitution of carbazole occurs on the porphyrin core can alter its optical and electronic features. Introduction of carbazole moieties in the porphyrin ring resulted in fused porphyrinoids with changed aromaticity and significantly altered electronic features of the molecules ...

Recently, we have characterized the DNA and nucleoprotein (NP) binding of bis(4-N-methylpyridyl)-15,20-di(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (BMPCP) and meso-tri(4-N-methylpyridyl)-mono(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TMPCP) and their tetrapeptide conjugates (BMPCP-4P2 and TMPCP-4P, respectively). In this work, we investigated the interaction of TMPCP conjugated to the tetrapeptide branches of branched chain polymeric polypeptide with poly-l-lysine backbone (AK) with DNA or NP using spectroscopic methods. Analysis of absorption spectra revealed the external binding but no intercalation of TMPCP-AK to DNA. There was no evidence for the interaction between TMPCP-AK and encapsidated DNA. Furthermore, we examined the cellular uptake of BMPCP and TMPCP and their tetra- or polypeptide conjugates by flow cytometry and analyzed how charge, size, and structure of the compounds affect their incorporation. In comparison, liposomal association constants of these derivatives were determined. BMPCP-4P2 accumulated the ...
A methodology is reported for the regioselective nitration of the phenyl groups of Halterman porphyrin, using NaNO2. These nitro-porphyrins can be reduced to aminoporphyrins and then N-dimethylated to give new optically active porphyrins. Applications to the asymmetric epoxidation of styrene derivatives by H2O2 to give optically active epoxides (ee up to 60%) and hydroxylation of alkanes to give optically active secondary alcohols (ee up to 69%) were carried out in organic solvents (dichloromethane/methanol) using chiral iron and manganese porphyrins as catalysts.

Y1 - 2003/10. N2 - Free base porphyrin molecules form well-defined and ordered nanoclusters in mixed solvents with absorption characteristics that significantly differ from those of the monomer form. These self-assembled crystallites in acetonitrile/toluene (9:1, v/v) can be deposited as thin films on a nanostructured TiO2 electrode using an electrophoretic technique. This porphyrin cluster assembly is highly photoactive and capable of undergoing charge separation under visible light excitation. Photoexcitation of the porphyrin film electrode assembly in a photoelectrochemical cell with visible light produces relatively high photocurrent generation. A maximum photocurrent of 0.15 mA cm-2 and a photovoltage of 250 mV were attained using the I3-/I- redox couple. The electron flow to the TiO2 electrode ...
Organic compounds that interact both with certain biological targets and display specific photophysical properties can be utilized as molecular tools to visualize and possibly effect disease related processes taking place in living organisms. In this regard, porphyrins are a class of naturally occurring molecules that possess intriguingly interesting photophysical properties where they can act as luminescent probes by emitting detectable light, as well as photosensitizers in the light mediated therapy called photodynamic therapy. In this thesis, the porphyrin structure has been synthetically combined with other molecule classes to achieve compounds with desirable multimodal characteristics.. Firstly, luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes (LCOs) that have extensively, and with great success, been utilized as fluorescent ligands for amyloid formations, have been conjugated to porphyrins to render oligothiophene porphyrin hybrids (OTPHs) comprising two optically active modalities. When applied as ...
The coordination chemistry of Rh(III) porphyrin was outlined by Sadasivan and Fleischer in 1967.199,200 Their Rh(III) porphyrin, obtained by a metallation reaction using [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 and aerial oxidation, was believed to coordinate a labile water molecule which could be displaced by pyridine. A coordinated chloride counterion could be exchanged for azide, cyanide or hydroxide. Work by other groups has demonstrated that six coordinate Rh(III) porphyrins with two identical axial ligands may be generated by reaction of Rh(III)Cl porphyrins (OEP, TPP) with Ag+ to remove the chloride anion, followed by treatment with ligands such as BuNC, PPh2Me and POMe3.201,290 Reaction of Rh(III)Cl porphyrins with organolithium reagents232 or metal carbonylate anions202 afforded organometallic and metal-metal bonded derivatives respectively. The [(OEP)Rh]+ intermediate formed by treatment of (OEP)RhCl with AgBF4 was found to be active in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions to afford s-bonded Rh aryl ...

N2 - Mono- and bis(diphenylborane)-fused porphyrins were synthesized from the corresponding β-(2-trimethylsilylphenyl)-substituted porphyrins through the sequence of Si-B exchange reaction, intramolecular bora-Friedel-Crafts reaction, and ring-closing Si-B exchange reaction. Effective electronic interactions of the empty p-orbital of the boron atom with the porphyrin π-circuit lead to red-shifted absorption spectra and substantially decreased LUMO energy levels. Pyridine adds at the boron center to cause disruption of the electronic interaction of the boron atom with large association constants (1.9-17×104 m−1) depending on the central metal at the porphyrin. The ZnII complex behaved as a hetero-dinuclear Lewis acid, exhibiting regioselective binding of pyridines at the boron or the zinc ...

N2 - Site-directed mutants of human myoglobin have been prepared and characterized; each protein has a single surface-modifiable histidine (at position 48, 70, or 83). The proteins were modified by covalent attachment of pentaammineruthenium (a5Ru) to the surface histidine and substitution of zinc mesoporphyrin IX diacid (ZnP) for the heme. Donor-acceptor separations (edge-edge distances d) in the modified proteins are 9.5 Å, His70; 12.7 Å, His48; and 15.5 Å, His83. Rates of photoinduced electron transfer in these ruthenium-modified myoglobins were measured by transient absorption spectroscopy. The 3ZnP*→ Ru3+ rate ...
The electrochemical behavior of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin tetrasodium salt (TPPS4) was investigated in aqueous media of BR buffer in pH range 2-12. Modern electroanalytical methods, i.e DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (both at a dropping mercury electrode), differential pulse voltammetry, adsorptive stripping voltammetry, and cyclic voltammetry (all at a hanging mercury drop electrode) were used for this purpose. TPPS4 gives three cathodic signals for pH 2 - 12, first of them corresponding to a two electron quasireversible process. From these signals, the first two are suitable for the determination of TPPS4 using both polarographic methods with limit of determination about 2·10-6 mol L-1 in BR buffer, pH 10. At concentration higher than 3·10-6 mol L-1, the calibration curve of the first signal deviates from the linear course due to formation of aggregates of TPPS4 in solution. The lowest limit of determination, 5.1·10-7 mol L-1 was achieved by AdSV

The deactivation pathways of the singlet excited state of a series of zinc or free-base donor porphyrins covalently linked by a bridge to a paramagnetic iron(III) chloride porphyrin acceptor have been studied. These donor-bridge-acceptor systems all share a similar geometry (25 A donor-acceptor center-to-center distance), but the bridges vary in electronic structure. In previously reported investigations of zinc/iron porphyrin systems, the fluorescence quenching of the donor has predominantly been assigned to electron transfer. However, for the porphyrin systems studied in this paper, we show that the dominant deactivation channels are enhanced intersystem crossing and singlet energy transfer. In both series, the intersystem crossing rate (S1--,T1) of the donor moiety is almost doubled in the presence of a paramagnetic high-spin metal-porphyrin acceptor. The significant spectral overlap of the donor fluorescence and acceptor absorption in both series allows for efficient singlet energy transfer ...
An increase in naturally-occurring porphyrins has been described in the blood of subjects bearing different kinds of tumors, including colorectal, and this is probably related to a systemic alteration of heme metabolism induced by tumor cells. The aim of our study was to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) classifier for early detection of colorectal adenocarcinoma based on plasma porphyrin accumulation and risk factors. We measured the endogenous fluorescence of blood plasma in 100 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients and 112 controls using a conventional spectrofluorometer. Height, weight, personal and family medical history, use of alcohol, red meat, vegetables and tobacco were all recorded. An ANN model was built up from demographic data and from the integral of the fluorescence emission peak in the range 610-650 nm. We used the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve to assess performance in distinguishing colorectal adenocarcinoma patients and controls. A liquid chromatography-high

The biochemistry of the porphyrins and of the bile pigments are closely related topics. Heme is synthesized from porphyrins and iron, and the products of degradation of heme are the bile pigments and iron. The biochemistry of the porphyrins and of heme is basic to understanding the varied functions of hemoproteins, and the porphyrias, a group of diseases caused by abnormalities in the pathway of porphyrin biosynthesis.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Synthetic Porphyrins/Metalloporphyrins Which Mimic States in Catalytic Cycle of Cytochrome P-450 and Peroxidases. AU - DAEID, N N AU - ATKINSON, S T AU - NOLAN, K B PY - 1993/7. Y1 - 1993/7. N2 - The reaction of thiolates, RS-, having electron withdrawing groups with iron(III) tetra-arylporphyrins in DMSO,in air gives low-spin Fe(III)-P(-SR)2, having hyperporphyrin spectra similar to thiolate derivatives of cytochrome P-450. Removal of air gives high spin Fe(II)-P(-SR) which on addition of CO results in H+ uptake and formation of Fe(II)-P(SHR)CO. Addition of thiols and base to the iron(III) porphyrins in toluene in the absence of air gives 4-coordinate Fe(II)-P which in the presence of CO gives Fe(II)-P(SHR)CO. Metal complexes of one of the porphyrins studied i.e. a tetraphenolic porphyrin undergo 2e- oxidation in air to give quinonoid species which oxidise peroxidase substrates. Rate constants for some of these reactions are reported.. AB - The reaction of thiolates, RS-, having ...

The work presented in this thesis encompasses an investigation into a number of porphyrin species. All of this work has a central focus on analysis of the porphyrin electronic structure and within the context of photovoltaics. The first exemplar of structures encompasses a series of Zn(II) tetraphenyl porphyrins which have asymmetrically substituted meso groups. The dihedral angle between the porphyrin macrocycle and the meso binding functionality has been shown not to infer any insulating properties towards delocalisation of the excited state. It is proposed that the electron withdrawing ability of the carboxylate unit is more than sufficient to overcome the poor π-overlap between the aromatic units. The inclusion of redox active functionalities at the distal meso site is shown to affect the energy and nature of the oxidised porphyrin species. It does so without almost any effect to the excited state properties of the structure. Both of these findings are important within the context of ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Strong π-π Interaction of porphyrins on (6,5) carbon nanotubes with full surface coverage. T2 - Ab-initio calculations. AU - Orellana, Walter. PY - 2014. Y1 - 2014. N2 - The stability, electronic, and optical properties of (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) functionalized with free-base tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) molecules through π-stacking interactions are studied by ab-initio calculations. The stability and optical response of the CNT-TPP compounds for increasing CNT-surface coverage are investigated. Our results show that four TPP molecules forming a ring around the CNT is the most stable configuration, showing strong binding energies of about 2.5 eV/TPP. However, this binding energy can increase even more after additional molecules assemble side by side along the CNT, favoring the formation of a full single layer of TPP, as experimentally suggested. The strong π-π attractive forces induce molecular distortions that move the TPP higher-occupied molecular orbital ...

The Cover. cDNA microarray analysis of HeLa S3 cells treated with the G-quadruplex-interactive cationic porphyrin TMPyP4. Cells were treated with 100 µm TMPyP4 for 48 h, and mRNA was used to probe a 500-gene array. The expression of a number of oncogenes, including c-FOS, JUN-B, c-MYB, STAT-1, and c-MYC, was decreased specifically by this agent, and not by its positional isomer TMPyP2, which interacts with G-quadruplex DNA very poorly. The c-MYC oncogene is one of the most consistently down-regulated genes in this study and bears a sequence in its promoter that forms a G-quadruplex structure in vitro. For details, see 565 in this issue. ...
Heme is a porphyrin that is coordinated with Fe(II). One of the most important classes of chelating agents in nature are the porphyrins [1]. A porphyrin molecule can coordinate to a metal using the four nitrogen atoms as electron-pair donors. In the body, the iron in the heme is coordinated to the four nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin and also to a nitrogen atom from a histidine residue, one of the amino-acid residues in hemoglobin) of the hemoglobin proteins. The sixth protein, coordination site, around the iron of the heme is occupied by O2 when the hemoglobin is oxygenated. The heme group is nonplanar when it is not bound to oxygen [2]. The iron is pulled out of the plane of the porphyrin, towards the histidine residue to which it is attached. This nonplanar configuration is characteristic of the deoxygenated heme group, and is often referred to as being domed shape [2]. When the Fe heme group binds to an oxygen molecule, the porphyrin ring adopts a planar configuration and hence the Fe lies ...
Definition : Clinical chemistry reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative chemical analysis of body fluids (typically urine) to measure the total level of porphyrin. Analysis may include a profile of porphyrin components (e.g., uroporphyrin, coproporphyrin). Measurement of the total level of porphyrins is used in the diagnosis and management of one of a group of metabolic disorders, either inherited or acquired, usually known as porphyrias; measurement of the porphyrin-level profile in urine is used to characterize several specific diseases, such as porphyria cutanea tarda, that are associated with the presence of isocoproporphyrin. Some specific porphyrin analyses in whole blood are performed for screening purposes, such as zinc protoporphyrin for iron-deficiency anemia and free erythrocyteporphyrin determination for lead poisoning..

N2 - In previous research we established that FEP is a suitable and valid test for evaluating the metabolic damage caused by lead absorption. In this study, in the same sample consisting of adult male subjects with PbB levels ranging from 15 to 150 μg/100 ml, we examined the relationship existing between PbB and the other indicators of effect so as to compare their behavior with that of FEP and establish whether there is a field of application where the erythrocyte metabolite is to be preferred. FEP and ALAD displayed a very much better correlation with PbB than the urinary tests (ALAU and CPU). The decrease in ALAD values is already clear at PbB levels which do not cause an elevation of FEP; on the ...

Water is one of the most important components for our life. Preservation of fresh water is one of the most important issues in sustainable development, which is called water treatment. In water treatment there are two main separated steps, separation and degradation. Many kinds of porous materials including zeolites and porous carbons were used for pollutant separation by adsorption. TiO2 was widely used for photocatalytic degradation of pollutant. Here we report new type of inorganic-organic hybrid porous material, metal-organic framework (MOF), which can adsorb pollutant from water followed by degradation of the pollutant by light irradiation. The MOF comprising porphyrin based ligand has good stability in water unlike most of MOFs. The MOF selectively adsorb a pollutant having smaller size than its pore size, which demonstrates size selective pollutant adsorption property of the MOF. In addition, porphyrin ligands decompose the adsorbed pollutant by visible light irradiation. Therefore, the ...

According to Greg Hillebrand, Ph.D., a recognized subject matter expert at P&G on the subject, there may be a real correlation between the amount of porphyrins and skin aging as described in the following technical excerpt that offers the best understanding we have today on the matter: In pilosebaceous follicles, porphyrins are produced by propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) that are normal inhabitants of the human skin and the pilosebaceous ducts. Porphyrins are highly fluorescent pores containing P. acnes and the associated porphyrins appear red-orange when facial skin is illuminated with long wavelength UVA radiation. The intensity of the follicular fluorescence and its extent of facial involvement is known to be proportional to the density of P. acnes. Porphyrin fluorescence appears first on the nose and chin, and then increases in incidence through adulthood and declines after the age of 50, possibly reflecting the rate of sebum secretion. Porphyrins may also have cytotoxic and comedogenic ...

In patients with porphyria, high levels of porphyrins may circulate in the blood and are deposited in the skin. Porphyrins are photoactive molecules, the property responsible for their fluorescence. When a light ray (particularly one with a wavelength in the ultraviolet range) strikes a porphyrin molecule, the energy of the light is absorbed by the molecule, and some of its electrons become more active (technically we say that they are promoted to a higher energy level). In due course, the molecule relaxes by allowing the promoted electrons to drop back to a normal energy level. To do so, they must give out the extra energy they contain. This is radiated out as heat and light. If this takes place in the skin, it causes damage. It is for this reason that the skin disease of porphyria is usually restricted to areas which are exposed to the sun, and that avoiding sun exposure is so important in preventing skin disease.. ...

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according to tumor location (posterior fossa tumors vs all other brain tumors).. Patients receive benzoporphyrin monoacid ring A (BPD-MA) IV preoperatively. Approximately 3 hours after BPD-MA administration, patients undergo craniotomy with photoillumination of the tumor. Patients with tumors greater than 2 cm in diameter also undergo gross tumor resection.. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BPD-MA until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose immediately preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Three additional patients are treated at the MTD.. Patients are followed at 4 and 6 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 24 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years. ...
Optical limiting properties in CH2Cl2 solution of a series of axially substituted InTPP (indium tetraphenyl-porphyrin) and axially substituted InTTP (indium tetra-p-tolyl-porphyrin) are investigated using a 532 nm laser with a pulse duration of 5 ns. The axial substitutions include -Cl, -SCN, -SPh and -SPh(p-Me). The optical limiting measurements reveal that the optical limiting properties of the indium porphyrins are greatly influenced by the axially attached functional groups. A limiting threshold of 0.18 J/cm2 is achieved for TTPInSCN, which is the best optical limiting material in this report. Z-scan experiments are also conducted and confirm that the good optical limiting performance of these indium porphyrins is due to the large value of σex/σg ...
Sonodynamic therapy, the ultrasound dependent enhancement of cytotoxic activities of certain compounds (sonosensitizers) in studies with cells in vitro and in tumor bearing animals, is reviewed. The attractive features of this modality for cancer treatment emerges from the ability to focus the ultrasound energy on malignancy sites buried deep in tissues and to locally activate a preloaded sonosensitizer. Possible mechanisms of sonodynamic therapy include generation of sonosensitizer derived radicals which initiate chain peroxidation of membrane lipids via peroxyl and/or alkoxyl radicals, the physical destabilization of the cell membrane by the sonosensitizer thereby rendering the cell more susceptible to shear forces or ultrasound enhanced drug transport across the cell membrane (sonoporation). Evidence against the role of singlet oxygen in sonodynamic therapy is discussed. The mechanism of sonodynamic therapy is probably not governed by a universal mechanism, but may be influenced by multiple factors
which are well-known because of their notable functional properties (for instance,. Many previous researchers focus on wet-chemical methods for attaching the molecules to the surface of the material. The TUM team, however, decided to take a different approach: The researchers were able to link porphyrin molecules to graphene in a controlled manner in an ultra-high vacuum using the catalytic properties of a silver surface on which the graphene layer rested. When heated, the porphyrin molecules lose hydrogen atoms at their periphery and can thus form new bonds with the graphene edges ...

Chlorophyll, blood, and vitamin B12 are all based on the porphyrin molecule. But porphyrin can also be used as an electrode material where it speeds up the charging process of rechargeable batteries. In the Angewandte Chemie International Edition journal, researchers from KIT now present the new material system that could mark the beginning of an era of high-performance energy storage and supercapacitors. Currently, the most widely used battery technology is based on lithium ions. No other rechargeable storage device for electric energy has comparable application properties. Thus, lithium ion batteries are currently indispensable for devices such as laptops, smartphones, or cameras, even though improved properties such as quick-charging would be desirable. Many materials that improve the properties of lithium ion batteries in the lab, however, are no sustainable options because they are rare, expensive, toxic or harmful to the environment. Ideally, high-performance energy storage materials ...
Nowadays, novel less-expensive nanoformulations for in situ-controlled and safe delivery of photosensitisers (PSs) against opportunistic pathogens in body-infections areas need to be developed. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to treat bacterial infections that are recalcitrant to antibiotics. In this paper, we propose the design and characterization of a novel nanophototherapeutic based on the trade cyclodextrin CAPTISOL® (sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin, SBE-βCD) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphine tetrakis(p-toluenesulfonate) (TMPyP) to fabricate efficient biocompatible systems for aPDT. Spherical nanoassemblies of about 360 nm based on CAPTISOL®/TMPyP supramolecular complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry and apparent equilibrium binding constant (Kb ≅ 1.32 × 105 M−1) were prepared with entrapment efficiency of ≅ 100% by simple mixing in aqueous media and freeze-drying. These systems have been characterized by complementary ...
A series of tetraphenylporphyrins appended at the β-pyrrolic position with an ethynylphenylene- or ethynylpyridine-substituent have been subjected to spectroscopic and density functional theory (DFT) analyses. The mean absolute deviation between corresponding experimental and DFT-derived vibrational spectra is up to 10.2 cm -1, suggesting that the DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d) method provides an accurate model of the β-substituted porphyrin systems. The configuration interactions that give rise to prominent electronic absorptions have been calculated using time-dependant DFT (TD-DFT) and have been rationalized with reference to the energy and topology of DFT calculated molecular orbitals. As the electron withdrawing capacity of the β-substituent increases the LUMO orbital gains appreciable amplitude over the substituent moiety and is stabilised. This represents a departure from the assumptions underpinning the Gouterman four-orbital model, resulting in atypical electronic absorption spectra. This ...
Iron porphyrins with the intermediate spin S = 3/2 or admixed with S = 5/2 or 1/2 are models for a number of heme protein systems, including cytochromes c. The (57)Fe Mossbauer quadrupole splittings and (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts have been found to be useful probes of their electronic states. We present the results of the first successful quantum chemical calculations of the Mossbauer and NMR properties in various S = 3/2 iron porphyrin complexes, covering four-, five-, and six-coordinate states and three commonly seen porphyrin conformations: planar, ruffled, and saddled. Several interesting correlations among these useful experimental spectroscopic probes and geometric and electronic properties were discovered. These results should facilitate future investigations of related heme proteins and model systems.
