Photosensitizers incorporation in SOPC films at different hydration levels

Résumé

In the present work, two photosensitizing drugs, Temoporfin and Verteporfin have been studied. Both have regular approval in Europe, Temoporfin for the treatment of head and neck cancers and Verteporfin for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The treatment modality, known as “Photodynamic Therapy” (PDT), involves drug activation with visible light in the presence of oxygen and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to destroy the pathological tissues. Both drugs are inactive in the absence of light, presenting only few side effects. The incorporation of the two drugs into a SOPC bilayer -used as a model membrane- was studied by ATR-FTIR. An original approach was applied, involving lyotropic transitions and a very slow dehydration rate of the sample. In low water content and dry film, Temoporfin highly affects stretching vibrations of SOPC chains and polar groups, showing that Temoporfin is inserted into the bilayer in both apolar and polar regions. In fully hydrated layers, Temoporfin - SOPC interactions still take place but only impact Temoporfin vibration bands. Verteporfin shows smaller effect on both chain and polar groups' vibrations of SOPC, with the exception of choline group, suggesting that Verteporfin is inserted into the bilayer to a lesser extent and remains at the bilayer polar interface. These results can be used to better understand drugs behavior in biological media.
