BACKGROUND
Currently, 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic diagnosis (ALA-PDD) is used to detect tumors during surgery and exploit tumor-specific accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) after administration of ALA. In a recent study, we showed that the human ATP-binding cassette transporter
Research on cell-penetrating peptides for the intracellular delivery of porphyrin compounds has mainly focused on the use of trans-activator of transcription (TAT)-derived peptides and, to a lesser extent, on proline-rich peptides and phosphorescent metalloporphyrins. In this article, we describe a
The imaging of phosphorescence provides a method for monitoring oxygen distribution within the vascular system of intact tissues. Isolated rat lives were perfused through the portal vein with media containing palladium coproporphyrin, which phosphoresced and was used to image the liver at various
The effect of brief anoxia on voltage dependent K(+)-currents of hippocampal cultured neurons was studied. The oxygen scavenger dithionite (hydrosulphite) was previously used for creating zero oxygen pressure. However, dithionite consumes O(2) in parallel with generation of superoxide radicals and
