Abstract:
The di-sulfo, di-plithalimidomethyl-zinc phthalolcyanine (ZnPcS2P2), which has the photodynamic activities against tumors as amphiphilic photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy, is transported by the blood circulatory system to target tissues. In this paper, the interaction of phthalocyanine with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated using absorption and differential absorption spectra, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectra as well as equilibrium dialysis. The results show that ZnPcS2P2 molecules are combined to BSA mainly in monomer fashion. Addition of ZnPcS2P2 results in the conformational changes of BSA. Based on the Hill plot model, an improving method of quenching albumin intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, which supported the cooperative binding of ZnPcS2P2 with BSA, was applied. ZnPcS2P2 occupies one strong binding site and four weaker sites, the binding constant K is 3.2x10(5) L/mol and 2.0x10(5) L/mol respectively. The binding constants are consistent with those obtained by equilibrium dialysis.
