Photosensitizing properties of supramolecular systems based on chlorin e6

The novel supramolecular systems based on chlorine e6 (Ce6) are presented, and their optical absorption and fluorescence have been investigated. The influence of different excipients as poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethyleneglycol (PEG), bovine serum albumin (BSA), chitosan, Triton X-100 (TX-100) on spectral characteristics of these systems has been studied. The obtained spectral-fluorescence characteristics of Ce6-PVP, Ce6-PEG, Ce6-BSA, Ce6-TX-100 indicate disaggregation of chlorine e6 molecules and their consecutive interaction with excipients in solutions and formation of molecular associates and molecular complexes. The system Ce6-chitosan is characterized by aggregation of pigments in solution that reduces photochemical activity of a photosensitizer. The fluorescence quantum yield jk of mentioned above supramolecular systems has been calculated. The results can be useful during the new method of controlled aggregation of photosensitizers as a part of supramolecular complexes development as well as for the purposes of new medicines of predictable photodynamic activity creation.
