제목 Poly(L-histidine)-Tagged 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Prodrugs: New Photosensitizing Precursors of Protoporphyrin IX for Photodynamic Therapy
초록 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and its derivatives have been widely used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The main drawback associated with ALA-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) and ALA fluorescence diagnosis results from the hydrophilic nature of ALA and lack of selectivity for tumor versus nontumor cells. To improve the selectivity, a series of pH-sensitive ALA-poly(L-histidine) [p(L-His)n (n=5,10,15)] prodrugs were synthesized via ring opening polymerization of 1-benzyl-N-carboxy-L-histidine anhydride initiated by the amine hydrochloride group of ALA itself. As an alternative to ALA for PDT, these prodrugs were used to treat a cultured human colon cancer HCT116 cell line under different pH conditions. The effect of ALA-p(L-His)n derivatives was evaluated by monitoring the fluorescence intensity of protoporphyrin IX, and measuring the cell survival rate after suitable light irradiation.
